A 2.0 mm diameter wire of length 20 m has a resistance of 0.25 ȍ. what is the resistivity of the wire?

The relationship between resistance R and resistivity \rho is
R= \frac{\rho L}{A} (1)
where L is the length of the wire and A is the cross-sectional area.

In our problem, the radius of the wire is half the diameter: r=1 mm=0.001 m, so the cross-sectional area is
A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.001 m)^2=3.14 \cdot 10^{-6} m^2
The length of the wire is L=20 m and the resistance is R=0.25 \Omega.

By re-arranging equation (1), we can find the resistivity of the wire:
\rho =  \frac{RA}{L}= \frac{(0.25 \Omega)(3.14 \cdot 10^{-6} m^2)}{(20 m)} = 3.93 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega \cdot m

In a 2-dimensional coordinate system, which of these is an example of an object's position?
Serjik [45]

' B ' is the only choice on the list that tells you a definite place, where you could go to pick up the object or meet somebody.

But in order to use it, you also have to know where the origin of coordinates is ... the point (0, 0) .

__________

No, I'm wrong about that.  You have to know where SOME other point is, but that doesn't have to be (0, 0).

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

3.90 degrees

Explanation:

Let g= 9.81 m/s2. The gravity of the 30kg grocery cart is

W = mg = 30*9.81 = 294.3 N

This gravity is split into 2 components on the ramp, 1 parallel and the other perpendicular to the ramp.

We can calculate the parallel one since it's the one that affects the force required to push up

F = WsinΘ

Since customer would not complain if the force is no more than 20N

F = 20

294.3sin\theta = 20

sin\theta = 20/294.3 = 0.068

\theta = sin^{-1}0.068 = 0.068 rad = 0.068*180/\pi \approx 3.90^0

So the ramp cannot be larger than 3.9 degrees

Determine the internal resistance of the capacitor.
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The equivalent series resistance of a capacitor is the internal resistance that appears in series with the capacitance of the device. Almost all capacitors exhibit this property at varying degrees depending on the construction, dielectric materials, quality, and reliability of the capacitor.
