A 1.20-m cylindrical rod of diameter 0.570 cm is connected to a power supply that maintains a constant potential difference of 1

5.0 V across its ends, while an ammeter measures the current through it. You observe that at room temperature (20.0°C) the ammeter reads 18.6 A, while at 92.0°C it reads 17.5 A. You can ignore any thermal expansion of the rod. (a) Find the resistivity at 20°C for the material of the rod. (b) Find the temperature coefficient of resistivity at 20°C for the material of the rod.

(a) 1.72\cdot 10^{-5} \Omega m

The resistance of the rod is given by:

R=\rho \frac{L}{A} (1)

where

\rho is the material resistivity

L = 1.20 m is the length of the rod

A is the cross-sectional area

The radius of the rod is half the diameter: r=0.570 cm/2=0.285 cm=2.85\cdot 10^{-3} m, so the cross-sectional area is

A=\pi r^2=\pi (2.85\cdot 10^{-3} m)^2=2.55\cdot 10^{-5} m^2

The resistance at 20°C can be found by using Ohm's law. In fact, we know:

- The voltage at this temperature is V = 15.0 V

- The current at this temperature is I = 18.6 A

So, the resistance is

R=\frac{V}{I}=\frac{15.0 V}{18.6 A}=0.81 \Omega

And now we can re-arrange the eq.(1) to solve for the resistivity:

\rho=\frac{RA}{L}=\frac{(0.81 \Omega)(2.55\cdot 10^{-5} m^2)}{1.20 m}=1.72\cdot 10^{-5} \Omega m

(b) 8.57\cdot 10^{-4} /{\circ}C

First of all, let's find the new resistance of the wire at 92.0°C. In this case, the current is

I = 17.5 A

So the resistance is

R=\frac{V}{I}=\frac{15.0 V}{17.5 A}=0.86 \Omega

The equation that gives the change in resistance as a function of the temperature is

R(T)=R_0 (1+\alpha(T-T_0))

where

R(T)=0.86 \Omega is the resistance at the new temperature (92.0°C)

R_0=0.81 \Omega is the resistance at the original temperature (20.0°C)

\alpha is the temperature coefficient of resistivity

T=92^{\circ}C

T_0 = 20^{\circ}

Solving the formula for \alpha, we find

\alpha=\frac{\frac{R(T)}{R_0}-1}{T-T_0}=\frac{\frac{0.86 \Omega}{0.81 \Omega}-1}{92C-20C}=8.57\cdot 10^{-4} /{\circ}C

<h2>Answer: B. Gravitational potential energy </h2>

Explanation:

<em>The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field. </em>

That is why this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.

In the case of the <u>Earth</u>, in which  <u>the gravitational field is considered constant</u>, the value of the gravitational potential energy U_{p} will be:

U_{p}=mgh  

Where m is the mass of the object, g the acceleration due gravity and h the height of the object.

As we can see, the value of U_{p} is directly proportional to the height.

<h3>What is learned behaviour?</h3>

The term learned behaviour has to do with those behaviour that the individual acquires by practise and are not innate in the organism. The ability to drink a large amount of water without breathing is not inate in man.

Hence, the behaviour that has just been displayed by the girl is an example of a learned behavior.
