Answer:

Length = 2.453 m

Explanation:

Given:

Resistivity of the wire (ρ) = 1 × 10⁻⁶ Ω-m

Diameter of the wire (d) = 0.250 mm = 0.250 × 10⁻³ m

Resistance of the wire (R) = 50 Ω

Length of the wire (L) = ?

The area of cross section is given as:

A=\frac{1}{4}\pi d^2\\\\A=\frac{1}{4}\times\ 3.14\times (0.250\times 10^{-3})^2\\\\A=0.785\times 6.25\times 10^{-8}\\\\A=4.906\times 10^{-8}\ m^2

We know that, for a constant temperature, the resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its area of cross section. The constant of proportionality is called the resistivity of the wire. Therefore,

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

Expressing the above in terms of length 'L', we get:

L=\frac{RA}{\rho}

Plug in the given values and solve for 'L'. This gives,

L=\frac{50\times 4.906\times 10^{-8}}{1\times 10^{-6}}\ m\\\\L=\frac{2.453}{1}=2.453\ m

Therefore, length of No. 30 wire (of diameter 0.250 mm) is 2.453 m.

If transpiration didn't take place, would water be able to enter the roots of the plant? Explain your reasoning
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

If transpiration didn't take place water would still be able to enter the roots of a plant

Explanation:

transpiration is the process of water leaving from living organisms to the atmosphere, therefore, if transpiration didn't occur the water would not transpire to the atmosphere and would remain in the root but water absorption would not change because it is a biological need for the living organism as such

Two advantages of solar energy over energy from Fossil fuels​
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

1)Fuel Sourcing

2)Power Generation

Explanation:

1)Fuel Sourcing : Fossil fuels must be located, excavated and transported before they can be used. These processes are invasive and detrimental to the land through side effects such as erosion as well as ecological and geologic instability. Then the deposit or well is depleted. Energy from the sun is infinite and free. It can be harnessed and turned into power anywhere a solar panel can be mounted.

2)Power Generation: Fossil fuels must be burned to produce electricity. Burning them creates unwanted byproducts that can create air and water pollution and release huge amounts of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.

A box weighing 12,000 N is parked on a 36° slope. What will be the component of the weight parallel to the plane that balances f
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Given :

A box weighing 12,000 N is parked on a 36° slope.

To Find :

What will be the component of the weight parallel to the plane that balances friction.

Solution :

The component of that will be parallel to the plane to balance friction is :

F \ cos ( 90 - 36)^o\\\\F\ ( sin\ 36^o)

Therefore, component of force to balance friction is F sin 36° .

Hence, this is the required solution.
