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)

Which two factors does the power of a machine depend on?
lianna [129]

The power of a machine depend on two factors are work and time.

Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

In science, power defined as the amount of work done in a unit time. i.e. delivering work in a rate of time or energy supply, expressed in input of work or transmitted energy divided by the time interval (t) or W/t.

Example: Some work can be done in the long run with a low-power engine or in a short time with a motor with high performance. The equation for power can be given as

              Power\ (in\ watts) =\frac{\text { work (joules) }}{\text { time (seconds) }}

              P=\frac{W}{t}

The specific heat of iron is 0.45j/gk. The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of the 12 g of iron by exactly 15k?
labwork [276]

Answer:

81 J.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Specific heat capacity (C) = 0.45 J/gK.

Temperature change (ΔT) = 15 K

Mass = 12 g

Heat required (Q) =?

The heat required to raise the temperature of iron can be obtained as illustrated below:

Q = MCΔT

Q = 12 × 0.45 × 15

Q = 81 J

Therefore, the heat required to raise the temperature of the iron is 81 J.
