Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by the formula as follows :

R=\rho \dfrac{l}{A}

l is length of wire

A is area of cross section, A=\pi r^2

Since, r=d/2, d = diameter

A=\pi \dfrac{d^2}{4}

It is given in the problem that the resistance of two aluminum wires is same.

R_1=R_2\\\\\rho\dfrac{L_1}{\pi d_1^2/4}=\rho\dfrac{L_2}{\pi d_2^2/4}\\\\\dfrac{L_1}{L_2}=\dfrac{d_1^2}{d_2^2}

We have, L₁=2L₂

So,

\dfrac{2L_2}{L_2}=\dfrac{d_1^2}{d_2^2}\\\\\dfrac{d_1^2}{d_2^2}=2\\\\\dfrac{d_1}{d_2}=\sqrt{2}

So, the ratio of the diameter of the longer wire to the diameter of the shorter wire is \sqrt2:1

A train travels 200km/hr. how much distance will the train be from the station in 2.5 hours?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

500km

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed  = 200km/hr

Time taken  = 2.5hrs

Unknown:

Distance  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the speed, time and distance equation.

   Therefore;

  Distance  = Speed x time

So;

  Distance  = 200 x 2.5  = 500km
