A ductile metal wire has resistance R. Then the wire is stretched to three times its original length. The stretching shrinks the

diameter of the wire, but does not affect its density or resistivity. What is the resistance of the stretched wire

Explanation:

Let us assume that the final resistance after stretching is R_{f}. Since, the volume of rod does not change and the initial and final volume will be the same as follows.

           V = V_{f}

        LA = L_{f}A_{f}

It is given that, L_{f} = 3L.

Therefore,      LA = L_{f}A_{f}

                      LA = 3LA_{f}

                   A_{f} = \frac{A}{3}

We know that relation between resistance and area is as follows.

          R = \frac{\rho L}{A}

    R_{f} = \frac{\rho L_{f}}{A_{f}}

             = \frac{\rho (3L)}{\frac{A}{3}}

             = 9 (\frac{\rho L}{A})  

             = 9R

Thus, we can conclude that the resistance of the stretched wire is 9R.

Answer:

Explanation:

initial length of the wire = l

initial area of crossetion of wire = A

initial resistance of the wire = R

Let the final resistance is r' area is A' and length is l' . Let  be the resistivity of the material of the wire.

l' = 3l

So, volume of the wire is constant.

l x A = l' x A'

l x A = 3l x A'

A' = A/3

The resistance of the wire is given by

R=\rho \frac{l}{A}    ... (1)

now the new resistance is R'

R'=\rho \frac{l'}{A'}

R'=\rho \frac{3\times 3l}{A}   .... (2)

divide equation (2) by equation (1)

R' = 9 R

Thus, the resistance of wire becomes 9 times.

The trajectory of a projectile always ________________.
sattari [20]

Answer:

c) curves downward, below the initial velocity vector

Explanation:

A projectile is usually launched from a height, where it is launched with an initial velocity. From that point the gravitational force begins to act on the projectile causing it to decay. As time passes, the projectile advances but its height decreases. So its trajectory is curved downward, below the initial velocity vector.

Which value is most likely to be the pH of a salt that is formed by the reaction of a strong acid and a weak base?
Mice21 [21]
In a hydrolysis reaction between a strong acid and a weak base, the salt formed will have a pH less than 7. By virtue of this phenomenon between <span>weak bases and strong acids</span>, the anion of the strong acid will fail to attract the hydrogen ion<span>, while the cation from the weak base will donate a </span>proton<span> to the water forming a hydronium ion</span><span>.
