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.

the mass of one water drop is 0.0008kg and the gravitational field strength is 10N/kg what is its weight
djyliett [7]
Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

Weight = (8 x 10⁻⁴ kg) x (10 N/kg) = 0.008 Newton

Suppose you increase your walking speed from 7 m/s to 15 m/s in a period of 2 m. What is your acceleration?
likoan [24]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (end speed) - (start speed) = (15 m/s - 7 m/s) = 8 m/s

time for the change = 2 minutes = 120 seconds

Acceleration = (8 m/s) / (120 seconds)

Acceleration = 0.067 m/s²

A 45 kg bear slides, from rest, 11 m down a lodgepole pine tree, moving with a speed of 5.8 m/s just before hitting the ground.
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

change  in the gravitational potential energy of the bear-Earth system during the slide  = mgh

= 45 x 9.8 x 11

= 4851 J

b )

kinetic energy of bear just before hitting the ground

= 1/2 m v²

= .5 x 45 x 5.8²

= 756.9 J

c ) If  the average frictional force that acts on the sliding bear be F

negative work done by friction

= F x 11 J

then ,

4851 J -  F x 11 =  756.9 J

F x 11 = 4851 J -   756.9 J

= 4094.1 J

F = 4094.1 / 11

= 372.2 N
