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

You skip north for 12 minutes to your best friend's house that is 1.5 kilometers away. What is your average velocity?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The average velocity is 7.5 km/h

Explanation:

Let's convert minutes to hours so our answer can be given in a common units of km/hour:

12 minutes = 12/60  hours = 0.2 hours

Now we estimate the average velocity calculating the distance travelled over the time it took:

1.5 / 0.2 km/h = 7.5 km/h
