A 1-meter-long wire consists of an inner copper core with a radius of 1.0 mm and an outer aluminum sheathe, which is 1.0 mm thic

k, so the total radius of the wire is 2.0 mm. The resistivity of copper is 1.7×10−8 Ω·m and that of aluminum is 2.8×10−8 Ω·m. What is the total resistance of the wire? (Hint, are the two different materials in series or in parallel with each other?)

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Length, L = 1 m

radius, rc = 1.0 mm

Area of inner copper, Ac = pi × (0.001)^2

= 3.142 × 10^-6 m^2

Thickness, t = 1.0 mm

Total radius of the wire, rt = 2.0 mm

Area of outer aluminum sheathe, Aa = area of total wire, At - area of copper core, Ac

Area of total wire = pi × (0.002)^2

= 1.26 × 10^-5 m^2

Aa = 1.26 × 10^-5 - 3.142 × 10^-6

= 9.42 × 10^-6 m^2

Resistivity of copper, Dc = 1.7×10−8 Ω·m

Resistivity of aluminum, Da = 2.8×10−8 Ω·m

D = (R × A)/L

Rc = (Dc × L)/Ac

= (1.7×10−8 × 1)/3.142 × 10^-6

= 5.41 × 10^-3 Ω

Ra = (2.8×10−8 × 1)/9.42 × 10^-6

= 2.97 × 10^-3 Ω

Since both wires are connected at the same time to the voltage supply, therefore,

1/Rt = 1/Ra + 1/Rc

= 1/2.97 × 10^-3 + 1/5.41 × 10^-3

= 521.54

Rt = 1.92 × 10^-3 Ω

Answer:

The total resistance of the wire is = 1.917\times10^{-3}

Explanation:

Since the wires will both be in contact with the voltage source at the same time and the current flows along in their length-wise direction, the two wires will be considered to be in parallel.

Hence, for resistances in parallel, the total resistance, R_{Total}

\frac{1}{R_{Total}}  =\frac{1}{R_{cu}  }+\frac{1}{R_{al}}

Parameters given:

Length of wire = 1 m

Cross sectional area of copper A_{cu}= \pi r^{2}= \pi \times (1\times 10^{-3}  )^{2} =3.142\times10^{-6} m^{2}

Cross sectional area of aluminium wire  

A_{al}= \pi( R^{2}-r^{2})\\\\ = \pi \times [ (2\times 10^{-3}  )^{2}-(1\times 10^{-3}  )^{2}] =9.42\times10^{-6} m^{2}\\

Resistivity of copper \rho _{cu}=1.7\times 10^{-8}  \Omega .m

Resistivity of Aluminium \rho _{al}=2.8\times 10^{-8}  \Omega .m

Resistance of copper R_{cu}= \frac{\rho_{cu} \times l}{A_{cu} }  =\frac{1.7\times 10^{-8} \times 1}{3.142\times10^{-6} } =5.41\times 10^{-3}\Omega

Resistance of aluminium R_{al}= \frac{\rho_{al} \times l}{A_{al} }  =\frac{2.8\times 10^{-8} \times 1}{9.42\times10^{-6} } =2.97\times 10^{-3}\Omega

The total resistance of the wire can be obtained as follows;

\frac{1}{R_{Total}}  =\frac{1}{5.41\times10^{-3}  }+\frac{1}{2.97\times10^{-3}}=521.52\frac{1}{\Omega}

R_{Total}= 1.917\times 10^{-3}\Omega

∴ The total resistance of the wire = 1.917\times 10^{-3}\Omega

Is distance traveled by a moving train qualitative discrete continuous or na?
butalik [34]
Continuous. Discrete values are values like 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. - they're values that are <em>distinct</em>, and typically there's some idea of a <em>next </em>and a <em>previous </em>value. When we're counting whole numbers, there's a definitive answer to which number comes after, and which number comes before. With continuous values, there's no real "next" or "last" value.

Motion is measured with <em>continuous </em>values; a train might move 300 yards in 1 minute, but we can look at smaller and smaller chunks of time to keep getting shorter and shorter distances. There is no <em />"next" distance the train moves after those 300 yards - it just doesn't make sense for there to be.

It's also measured <em>quantitatively</em>, not <em>qualitatively</em>. This just means that we can use numerical values to measure it, rather than other descriptors like color, smell, or taste.

Kepler's____ of planetary motion states that the planets have an elliptical orbit, with the Sun at one focal point of the ellips
Evgen [1.6K]

Kepler's laws were enunciated to model in a mathematical way the movement of the planets in their respective orbits around the Sun.

There are three laws of Kepler.

In particular, Kepler's first law states the following:

"All the planets move around the Sun describing elliptical orbits, the Sun is in one of the foci of the ellipse."

Answer:

Kepler's 1st law of planetary motion states that the planets have an elliptical orbit, with the Sun at one focal point of the ellipse.

a. 1st law

Can a plane mirror produce a real image? Explain.
Komok [63]
I don't think so, because in order to produce an image, you need a surface behind the mirror. The light will hit the mirror, then it will bounce it back in your eyes and you see the image.
