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.

Remember that the left is NEGATIVE
and RIGHT is POSITIVE

16. +3N - 6N = -3N

therefore 3N to the left (because left = -)



17. +5N - 5N = 0N , zero resultant force



18. +6N - 4N = +2N

therefore 2N to the right (because right = +)

Examine the droppler effect illustration above. Assume the red dot is a police car with its siren on. Which direction is the pol
Vikki [24]

<em>Something is missing in question. But I will try to explain you about Doppler effect to reach your answer.</em>

Answer:

  • It is defined as "an increase in the frequency of sound, light or other waves as the source or observer moves towards each other".
  • This effect causes the sudden change in pitch noticeable in passing siren.  
  • You hear a siren from a few blocks away. The source is a police car that is racing in your direction. As the car approaches, zooms past you, and then speeds off into the distance, the sound of its siren keeps changing in pitch. First the siren gets higher in pitch, and then it suddenly gets lower.
