Answer:

option (a)

Explanation:

Wire 1:

length = 2L

Area = 2 A

Wire 2: length = L

Area = A

As we know that the resistance of a wire is directly proportional to the length of the wire and inversely proportional to the area of crossection of the wire.

Let ρ be the resistivity of the cooper wire.

Resistance of wire 1

R1 = ρ x 2L / 2 A = ρ L / A

Resistance of wire 2:

R2 = ρ x L /  A = ρ L / A

As R1 = R2

It means both the wires have same resistance.

Answer:

C) W = - 190 J

Explanation:

Notation

Wf = work done by the friction force (unknown)

Ff = force of the friction

d = distance travelled by the box = (2 pi 1.82 m) = 11.435 m

The energy is water but i wanf to know how does it affect the enviorment?
Airida [17]
It affects the environment because more animals and plants will grow. Down side is if there are bugs or insects that need water to live, if there's more water than more bugs. If bugs also feed on plants there could be an over population.
