Wires diameters are usually specified by a number called the gauge. The smaller gauge wire has a larger diameter. For example, a

22 gauge wire has a diameter of 0.65 mm while a 12 gauge wire has a diameter of 2.05 mm. It is believe that the gauge number originally referred to how many times the wire is passes through a draw plate. The wire becomes thinner each time it goes through the plate. You have some long wires of different gauges and lengths. Some of the wires are made of copper while others are made of aluminum. Which wire has the smallest resistance?

Answer:

Between a 12 gauge and a 22 gauge wire: the 12 gauge wire

Explanation:

Since the resistance in a wire is given by:

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

If both wires are made out of copper, the resistivity \rho is the same.

The difference will remain in the cross area. The one with less area is the one with the greatest resistance.

Between the 2 gauge wires (22 and 12), the 12 gauge wire, with a diameter of 2.05mm is the one with smallest resistance.

A mass moves back and forth in simple harmonic motion with amplitude A and period T.
Sever21 [200]

a. 0.5 T

- The amplitude A of a simple harmonic motion is the maximum displacement of the system with respect to the equilibrium position

- The period T is the time the system takes to complete one oscillation

During a full time period T, the mass on the spring oscillates back and forth, returning to its original position. This means that the total distance covered by the mass during a period T is 4 times the amplitude (4A), because the amplitude is just half the distance between the maximum and the minimum position, and during a time period the mass goes from the maximum to the minimum, and then back to the maximum.

So, the time t that the mass takes to move through a distance of 2 A can be found by using the proportion

1 T : 4 A = t : 2 A

and solving for t we find

t=\frac{(1T)(2 A)}{4A}=0.5 T

b. 1.25T

Now we want to know the time t that the mass takes to move through a total distance of 5 A. SInce we know that

- the mass takes a time of 1 T to cover a distance of 4A

we can set the following proportion:

1 T : 4 A = t : 5 A

And by solving for t, we find

t=\frac{(1T)(5 A)}{4A}=\frac{5}{4} T=1.25 T
