The resistance of a wire depends upon the material's resistivity and the length and cross‑sectional area of the wire. What will

happen to the resistance of a wire if its length is multiplied by 4?
Physics

Answer:

R' = 4R

The resistance will become 4 times the initial value.

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire at room temperature, is given by the following formula:

R = ρL/A   ----------- equation 1

where,

R = Resistance of wire

ρ = resistivity of the material

L = Length of wire

A = Cross-sectional area of wire

Now, if the length (L) is multiplied by 4, then resistance will become:

R' = ρ(4L)/A

R' = 4 (ρL/A)

using equation 1:

<u>R' = 4R</u>

<u>The resistance will become 4 times the initial value.</u>

What happens when multiple forces act upon an object?
Bogdan [553]
The object will move if the forces are unbalanced.

Newtons second tells you that when a net force (the unbalanced force) is applied to and object it will produce an acceleration (movement) in direct proportion to the force and in inverse proportion to the mass of the object.

In a very large closed tank, the absolute pressure of the air above the water is 6.46 x 105 Pa. The water leaves the bottom of t
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

a) 35.94 ms⁻²

b) 65.85 m

Explanation:

Take down the data:

ρ = 1000kg/m3

a) First, we need to establish the total pressure of the water in the tank. Note the that the tanks is closed. It means that the total pressure, Ptot,  at the bottom of the tank is the sum of the pressure of the water plus the air trapped between the tank rook and water. In other words:

Ptot = Pgas + Pwater

However, the air is the one influencing the water to move, so elimininating Pwater the equation becomes:

Ptot  = Pgas

        = 6.46 × 10⁵ Pa

The change in pressure is given by the continuity equation:

ΔP = 1/2ρv²

where v is the velocity of the water as it exits the tank.

Calculating:

6.46 × 10⁵  =1/2 ×1000×v²

solving for v, we get v = 35.94 ms⁻²

b) The Bernoulli's equation will be applicable here.

The water is coming out with the same pressure, therefore, the equation will be:

ΔP = ρgh

6.46 × 10⁵  = 1000 x 9.81 x h

h = 65.85 meters

The potential difference across a resistor increases by a factor of 2. How does the current change? (Ohm's law: V = IR) A. It de
Sedaia [141]
The answer is C.

The question says the potential difference is what is changing, which means we're solving for V.

It tells us that potential difference increases by a factor of two, which just means V doubles.

With this info, we can pick some numbers, plug it into Ohms law and see what happens.

Here's an example where I just picked random numbers that are easy to work with:

V=I*R
10=I*5
I=2
Lets increase the potential difference (V) by a factor of two and see what happens to current:
V=I*R
20=I*5 (all I've done is double the potential difference from 10 to 20)
I=4

When we increase V by a factor of 2, I increases by a factor of 2. We went from I=2 to I=4.
We can increase V by factor of 2 again and see:
V=I*R
40=I*5
I=8

Okay, current just increased by a factor of 2 again when we increased the potential difference by a factor of 2.

It's always good to check work with alternate numbers, so here's one more set:
V=I*R
16=I*4
(remember, we know we're solving for V, so I'm just plugging in random numbers for I and R)
I=4
Increase V by factor of 2:
32=I*4
I=8

So, when we increase V (the potential difference) by a factor of 2, I (current) always increases by a factor of 2 as well.

Hope this helps!

Which material reflects the most light transparent, translucent, or opaque?
Svetradugi [14.3K]
There's no rule like that.  A glass mirror is opaque but reflects
more light than a clean transparent glass window does. 

On the other hand, a material that's transparent but shiny may
reflect more light than an opaque material that's painted black. 

You can't give any general rule.
