A tungsten wire has resistance R at 20°C. A second tungsten wire at 20°C has twice the length and half the cross-sectional area

of the first wire. In terms of R, the resistance of the second wire is
(1)R/2
(2)2R
(3)R
(4)4R

The resistance is 4 times the resistance of the first wire. the formula is R = p*l/A with p being resistivity, l length and A area. So if you double length and half area, which botv result in more resistance, you get p*2/0.5 or 4 (p can be abandoned because it is the same. We take standard length and area as 1)

An unknown mass of each substance, initially at 25.0 ∘C, absorbs 1920 J of heat. The final temperature is recorded. Find the mas
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: mass for Pyrex glass 84.21g

mass for sand 61.6g

mass for ethanol 41.32g

mass for water 62.07g

Explanation

By definition specific heat is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of 1 kg mas by 1°C

Q=mcΔT is formula for specific heat

Q is heat transfer

m is mass

ΔT is change in temperature

c   is specific heat

c of Pyrex glass= 0.75 j/g°C

c of sand = 0.84 j/g°C

c of ethanol= 2.42 j/g°C

c of water = 4.18 j/g°C

now we will make M(mass) the subject, so equation becomes

m=Q/cΔT

for

pyrex glass T<em>f=</em>55.4°C

m=1920/(55.4-25)*0.75

m=84.21g {after cutting J(joules) and °C we are left with g(grams)}

for

sand T<em>f</em>=62.1°C

m=1920/(62.1-25)*0.84

m=61.6g {after cutting J(joules) and °C we are left with g(grams)}

for

ethanol T<em>f</em>=44.2°C

m=1920/(44.2-25)*2.42

m=41.32g  {after cutting J(joules) and °C we are left with g(grams)}

for

water T<em>f=</em>32.4°

m=1920/(32.4-25)*4.18

m=62.07g  {after cutting J(joules) and °C we are left with g(grams)}

i hope you understand the solution, thank you.
