Which of the following would reduce the resistance of a metal wire?

Physics
2 answers:
Dmitry [639]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

increasing its thickness

Explanation:

there are four major factors that affect the resistance of a metal wire, they are;

1. the length of the wire: the longer the length of a wire the higher the resistance

recall R=ρL/A

the above equation shows a direct relation between resistance and length

2. the temperature of the wire: the higher the temperature of a wire when heated up, the higher the resistance of the wire

3. the thickness or width of the wire: the higher the thickness the lower the resistance.

from the equation in 1 above, there is an inverse relationship between resistance and area(diameter inclusive) of a wire

4. the material of the wire: different wires have different values of resistivity(ρ). steel  shows higher levels of resistivity than copper

therefore, increasing thickness reduces resistance

Calculate the percentage of an iceberg submerged beneath the surface of the ocean given that the density of ice is 916.3kg/m3 an
pogonyaev

Answer:

The percentage of an iceberg submerged beneath the surface of the ocean = 89.67%

Explanation:

Let V be the total volume of the iceberg

Let x be the volume of iceberg submerged

According to Archimedes principle,

weight of the iceberg = weight of the water displaced (that is, weight of x volume of water)

Weight of the iceberg = mg= ρ(iceberg) × V × g

Weight of water displaced = ρ(fluid) × x × g

We then have

ρ(iceberg) × V × g = ρ(fluid) × x × g

(x/V) = ρ(iceberg) ÷ ρ(fluid) = 916.3 ÷ 1021.9 = 0.8967 = 89.67%

Hope this Helps!!!!

If Sarah melts 10g of tin. What mass of melted tin would she have at the end of the experiment?​
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

10g

Explanation:

As the Law of Conservation of Mass states that " Mass can neither be created nor be destroyed in a chemical reaction".

Though melting of tin isn't a chemical change, the same logic is applied here...

Hence,

The mass of tin will be 10 g itself...

Why do blades come in different lengths in a jig saw sander?​
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

To determine the minimum blade length, add 1" to the workpiece thickness. One type of material, and some materials can be cut by more than one type of blade. No matter the material, there's likely a jigsaw blade designed specifically for. Armed with the right blade, follow these pointers to make your work go (and cut) .
