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

Answer:

6666.67 Newtons

Explanation:

The formula F=ma (force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration) can be used to calculate the answer to this question.

In this case:

  • mass= 0.1mg= 1*10^-7 kg
  • velocity= 4.00*10^3 m/s
  • time= 6.00*10^-8 s

Using velocity and time, acceleration can be calculated as:

  • a= 6.667*10^10 m/s²

Substituting these values into the formula F=ma, the answer is:

  • F= (1*10^-7)kg * (6.667*10^10) m/s²
  • F= 6666.67 Newtons of force

Which geologic feature most likely be represented by contour lines drawn far apart from one another?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer;

A plain

Explanation;

A contour line connects points of the same elevation. Contour lines are usually curves. Closed contours represent hills.

Contour lines can not cross since they represent different elevations. A contour interval is the difference in elevation between one contour and an adjacent contour.
