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?

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>

Why do you not come to thermal equilibrium on a cold day
Tju [1.3M]

Two physical systems are in thermal equilibrium if no heat flows between them when they are connected by a path permeable to heat. Thermal equilibrium obeys the zeroth law of thermodynamics. A system is said to be in thermal equilibrium with itself if the temperature within the system is spatially and temporally uniform.

Systems in thermodynamic equilibrium are always in thermal equilibrium, but the converse is not always true. If the connection between the systems allows transfer of energy as heat but does not allow transfer of matter or transfer of energy as work, the two systems may reach thermal equilibrium without reaching thermodynamic equilibrium.

gayle cooks a roast in her microwave oven. the klystron tube in the oven emits photons whose energy is 1.20 x 10^-3 ev. what are
AveGali [126]

Answer:

\lambda=1.03\times 10^{-3}\ m

Explanation:

Given that,

The energy of the microwave oven is 1.2\times 10^{-3}\ eV.

We need to find the wavelength of these photons.

1.2\times 10^{-3}\ eV=1.2\times 10^{-3}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\\\\=1.92\times 10^{-22}\ J

The energy of a wave is given by :

E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{hc}{E}

Put all the values,

\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{1.92\times 10^{-22}}\\\\\lambda=1.03\times 10^{-3}\ m

So, the wavelength of these photon is 1.03\times 10^{-3}\ m.

A man has 887.5 J of kinetic energy while running with a velocity of 5 m/s. What is his mass?
monitta

Answer:

The mass of the man is 71 kg

Explanation:

Given;

kinetic energy of the man, K.E = 887.5 J

velocity of the man, v = 5 m/s

The mass of the man is calculated as follows;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

where;

m is the mass of the man

2K.E = mv²

m = 2K.E / v²

m = (2 x 887.5) / (5)²

m = 71 kg

Therefore, the mass of the man is 71 kg
