The first and second coils have the same length, and the third and fourth coils have the same length. They differ only in the cr

oss-sectional area. According to theory, what should be the ratio of the resistance of the second coil to the first and the fourth coil to the third? Calculate these ratios for your experimental results and compare the agreement with the expected ratio.

Answer:

\frac{R_2}{R_1}=\frac{A_1}{A_2}\\\frac{R_4}{R_3}=\frac{A_3}{A_4}

Explanation:

The resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to its length and is inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area, this dependence is given by:

R=\frac{\rho L}{A}

\rho is the material's resistance, L is the legth and A is the cross-sectional area.

For the first and second coils, we have:

R_1=\frac{\rho L}{A_1}\\R_2=\frac{\rho L}{A_2}\\\rho L=R_1A_1\\\rho L=R_2A_2\\R_1A_1=R_2A_2\\\frac{R_2}{R_1}=\frac{A_1}{A_2}

For the third and fourth coils, we have:

R_3=\frac{\rho L'}{A_3}\\R_4=\frac{\rho L'}{A_4}\\\rho L'=R_3A_3\\\rho L'=R_4A_4\\R_3A_3=R_4A_4\\\frac{R_4}{R_3}=\frac{A_3}{A_4}

How long will it take an object to hit the ground if dropped from 100 meters
mash [69]

Answer:

The answer depends on what object you are dropping. Are you dropping a balloon or a car? (I'm joking 'bout that one.) If the mass of the object is very little, then it might drop slower. If the mass is bigger, then it might drop faster.

Good luck!

Why does the total amount of energy before and after any energy transformations remain the same?
Georgia [21]
The amount of energy before and after any energy transformations remain the same because energy cannot be created or destroyed. From the law conservation of energy; any time energy is transferred between two objects, or converted from one form into another, no energy is created and none is destroyed. The total amount of energy involved in the process remains the same.
