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

Why is the solar system commonly represented as a scale model?
topjm [15]
The actual size of the Solar system is too big to show without making a much smaller model. If someone wants to see the orientation of the planets a model has to be made so we can see it without flying out too space.

Suppose a wheel with a tire mounted on it is rotating at the constant rate of 2.23 2.23 times a second. A tack is stuck in the t
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

       Angular velocity (\omega) = 2.23 rps

     Distance from the center (R) = 0.379 m

First, we will convert revolutions per second into radian per second as follows.

             = 2.23 revolutions per second

             = 2.23 \times 2 \times 3.14 rad/s

             = 14.01 rad/s

Now, tangential speed will be calculated as follows.

  Tangential speed, v = R \times \omega

                               = 0.379 x 14.01

                               = 5.31 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that the tack's tangential speed is 5.31 m/s.

An object slides down a frictionless inclined plane. At the bottom, it has a speed of 9.80 m/s. What is the vertical height of t
Papessa [141]

The vertical height of the given plane is 4.9 m.

The given parameters:

  • <em>speed of the object at the bottom of the ramp, v = 9.8 m/s</em>

The vertical height of the plane is calculated by applying principle of conservation of mechanical energy as follows;

P.E = K.E\\\\mgh = \frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\h = \frac{v^2}{2g} \\\\h = \frac{9.8 \times 9.8}{2 \times 9.8} \\\\h = 4.9 \ m

Thus, the vertical height of the given plane is 4.9 m.

Iron melts at 1535 degrees c. the inner core of the Earth is solid.Explain why this might have happened.
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
Earth's inner core is solid even though the temperature is so high because the pressure is also very high.

Hope this helped:)
