If one has twice the length of the other, what is the ratio of the diameter of the longer wire to the diameter of the shorter wi

hram777 [196]3 years ago
6 0

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

Which statement correctly distinguishes between all mechanical and all electromagnetic waves?
lutik1710 [3]

Answer: Mechanical waves carry energy through a medium; electromagnetic waves carry energy through media and space.

Explanation:

<u>The waves which require medium to travel are known as mechanical waves. </u>The waves carry energy forward by compression and rarefaction that is by changing density /pressure of medium particles.

<u>Electromagnetic waves can transfer energy through space as well as medium. </u>In an electromagnetic wave, electric field generates magnetic field and magnetic field generates electric field. Electric field and magnetic field are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of motion.

The acceleration of a train moving from rest and its speed reaches 36m/sec in 9 sec​
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

4 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration is defined as: Δv/Δt (the difference of the velocity over a time period in which happens that difference).

Remember that a difference is calculated by subtracting the initial value of a physical quantity from its final value.

In our case:

Δv = Vfinal - Vinitial = 36m/s - 0 m/s = 36m/s

Δt = 9s

a = Δv/Δt = 36m/s / 9s = 4m/s^2
