Answer:
R' = 4R
The resistance will become 4 times the initial value.
Explanation:
The resistance of a wire at room temperature, is given by the following formula:
R = ρL/A ----------- equation 1
where,
R = Resistance of wire
ρ = resistivity of the material
L = Length of wire
A = Cross-sectional area of wire
Now, if the length (L) is multiplied by 4, then resistance will become:
R' = ρ(4L)/A
R' = 4 (ρL/A)
using equation 1:
<u>R' = 4R</u>
<u>The resistance will become 4 times the initial value.</u>
PE= 3kg x 10N/kg x 10m
= 300J
Total distance between Sally's house and mall = 10 kilometers
Distance covered during half way drive =
Kilometers
Now, she goes back to her home.
Distance covered going back home =
Kilometers
Now, she drives from home to mall.
Distance covered from Sally's home to mall = 10 kilometers
Hence, the total distance Sally traveled = 5 + 5 + 10
Total distance Sally traveled = 20 kilometers
Hence, the answer is 20 kilometers
