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>

Sheila eats an energy bar right before she goes on a run. What energy changes will occur in sheila as she runs after eating?
LiRa [457]
The energy bar eaten by Sheila has chemical energy locked up inside it. This chemical energy is converted to mechanical energy in form of potential and kinetic energy and this in turn is converted to heat energy as the run progresses. Thus, the energy changes are: chemical energy to mechanical energy [kinetic and potential] and finally to heat energy.

How long will it take a 400 W engine to lift a 100 N object up to a height of 80 m?
Norma-Jean [14]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

20 seconds

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given</u>;

  • Power of the engine as 400 watts
  • Force as 100 N
  • Distance the object is lifted up as 80 m

We are required to determine the time taken.

  • We need to know that power is the rate of work done

Therefore;

  • Power = Work done ÷ time

But, work done  = Force × distance

  • Therefore; In this case;

Work done = 100 N × 80 m

                  = 8000 Joules

  • Since , Power = Work done ÷ time

Then, time = Work done ÷ Power

Thus;

Time = 8000 J ÷ 400 W

       = 20 s

Therefore, the time taken by the engine to lift the object is 20 seconds
