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

nasty-shy [4]

(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

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

Martin has hypothesized that the size and types of trees differ between valleys and higher elevations. He sets up a transect lin

pogonyaev

Answer: The dependent Variables include: Size and Types of trees.

The independent Variables include:

geographic elevations that is, valleys and the higher elevations.

Explanation:

The dependent variable simply refers to the variable a researcher tests or measures during an experiment. On the other hand, the independent variable simply refers to the variable that's controlled during an experiment.

Based on the definition above, the dependent variables include the size and the types of trees while the independent variables include the

geographic elevations that is, the valleys and the higher elevations.
