Answer:

Its resistance decreases

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is directly proportional to the length of the wire and inversely proportional to the cross sectional area of the wire.

Mathematically,

R1 =¶L1/A1... (1)

R1= ¶L1/{Πd²/4}

R1= 4¶L1/Πd²

where;

¶ is the constant of proportionality which is the resistivity of the material

L is the length of the wire

A is the cross sectional area

A1 = Πd²/4

If the length is quadrupled and its diameter tripled

The new length L2 will be 4L1

New area A2 = Π(3d)²/4 = 9Πd²/4

The resistance will become

R2 = ¶(4L1)/{9Πd²/4}

R2 = 4¶L1×4/9Πd²

R2 = 16¶L1/9Πd²... (2)

R2/R1 = 16¶L1/9Πd²÷4¶L1/Πd²

R2/R1 = 16¶L1/9Πd²×Πd²/4¶L1

R2/R1 = 16/9×1/4

R2/R1 = 16/36

R2/R1 = 4/9

R2 = 4/9R1

This shows that the resistance of the wire decreases

Danny lowers the sails on his boat. He paddles upstream at 19 km/hr. The current is still running downstream at 15 km/hr. What i

Molodets [167]

Answer:

4 km/hr

Explanation:

The computation of the actual velocity is shown below:

Because the path of its paddles is opposed to the current direction, the real velocity can be determined by deducting the current velocity to its velocity while paddling

So, the actual velocity is

= Upstream - downstream

= 19 km/hr - 15 km/hr

= 4 km/hr

As we can see it is in positive, so it is an upstream direction

An AC generator consists of eight turns of wire, each of area 0.0775 m2 , and total resistance of 8.53 Ω. The loop rotates in th

Bad White [126]

Answer:

44.08 Volt

Explanation:

N = 8, A = 0.0775 m^2, R = 8.53 ohm, B = 0.222 T, f = 51 Hz

e0 = N B A w

e0 = 8 x 0.222 x 0.0775 x 2 x 3.14 x 51

e0 = 44.08 Volt

A supersonic jet is at an altitude of 14 kilometers flying at 1,500 kilometers per hour toward the east. At this velocity, how f

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The jet will fly 2400 km.

Explanation:

Given the velocity of the jet flying toward the east is 1,500 kmph toward the east.

We need to find the distance covered in 1.6 hours.

In our problem we are given speed and time, we can easily determine the distance using the following formula.

$Distance=Speed\times Time$

$Distance=1500\times 1.6=2400\ km$

So, the supersonic jet will travel 2400 km in 1.6 hours toward the east from its starting point.
