Two conductors are made of the same material and have the same length. Conductor A is a solid wire of diameter 1.0 mm. Conductor

B is a hollow tube of outside diameter 2.7 mm and inside diameter 2.0 mm. What is the resistance ratio RA/RB, measured between their ends?

Answer:

The resistance ratio is 3.23

Explanation:

Since the conductors are made of the same material and length the product of the resistivity and length of the conductor are the same for both conductors and is constant.

R = ρL/A = constant / A

So RA = constant

And RaAa = RbAb

Ra/Rb= Ab/Aa

D = 1mm = 1×10‐³m

Aa = πD²/4 = π(1×10-³)²/4 = 7.85×10-⁷ m²

D1 = inner diameter of conductor B = 2.0mm = 2×10-³m

D2 = outer diameter of conductor B = 2.7mm = 2.7×10-³m

Ab = π(D2²-D1²)/4 = π((2.7×10-³)²-(2.0×10-³)²)/4 = 2.58×10-⁶m²

So,

Ra/Rb= Ab/Aa = 2.58×10-⁶/7.85×10-⁷ = 3.23

The resistance ratio is 3.23. This makes sense because a larger cross sectional area means more electrons can flow through the conductor per time and so lesser resistance. Conductor B has a larger cross sectional area and so lesser resistance when compared to conductor A.

Which statements describe velocity and acceleration? Check all that apply.
Tom [10]

Velocity is defined by rate of change in the position

which we can also write as

v = \frac{ds}{dt}

while acceleration is defined as rate of change in velocity

a = \frac{dv}{dt}

so acceleration and velocity both are rate of change in position and rate of change in velocity with respect to time respectively

out of all above statement the correct answer must be

<u>Acceleration equals change in velocity divided by time. </u>

What is the relationship between speed and kinetic energy?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Kinetic energy depends on the velocity of the object squared. This means that when the velocity of an object doubles, its kinetic energy quadruples.

An 80-cm uniform 10-kg bar is resting on two scales, one at either end. A smaller 4-kg mass (m) is placed at a distance of d = 2
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer

given,

length of bar = 80 cm

mass of the bar = 10 kg

smaller mass = 4 kg

distance = 20 cm

s_1 + s_2 = 10 + 4

s_1 + s_2 = 14\ kg

taking moment about B

s_1 \times 0.8 - 10 \times 0.4 - 4 \times 0.6 = 0

s_1 \times 0.8 = 6.4

s_1 = 8\ N

s_2 = 14 - s_1

s_2 = 14 - 8

s_2 = 6 N

difference between two scale = 8 - 6

                                                  = 2 N
