You are given three pieces of wire that have different shapes (dimensions). You connect each piece of wire separately to a batte

ry. The first piece has a length L and cross-sectional area A. The second is twice as long as the first, but has the same thickness. The third is the same length as the first, but has twice the cross-sectional area. Rank the wires in order of which carries the most current (has the lowest resistance) when connected to batteries with the same voltage difference.

Answer:

I3 > I1 > I2

Explanation:

Length of first piece = L

Area of first piece = A

Length of second piece = 2L

Area of second piece = A

Length of third piece = L

Area of third piece = 2A

The current is maximum when the resistance is minimum.

Let ρ is the resistivity of the material of wire.

The formula for the resistance is given by

R = \rho \frac{L}{A}

Resistance of first wire

R_{1} = \rho \frac{L}{A} = R

Resistance of second wire

R_{2} = \rho \frac{2L}{A}=2R

Resistance of third wire

R_{3} = \rho \frac{L}{2A}=\frac{R}{2}

R3 < R1 < R2

I3 > I1 > I2

Thus, the current is maximum in third wire is maximum and minimum in second wire.

Which term describes the object that a satellite revolves around?
m_a_m_a [10]

The object that a satellite revolves around is the <em>central body</em> of the system. <em>(C)</em>

For example:

-- The central body of the solar system is the Sun.

-- The central body for TV satellites, GPS satellites, weather satellites, and the International Space Station is the Earth.

-- The central body for Phobos and Deimos is Mars.

This should be a pretty easy question to answer by elimination, when you notice that "Orbit", "Period", and "Rotation" are not "Bodies".

Describe how Rutherford's experiments changed the accepted scientific model of the atom.
lorasvet [3.4K]

Rutherford's model of the atom (ESAAQ) Rutherford carried out some experiments which led to a change in ideas around the atom. His new model described the atom as a tiny, dense, positively charged core called a nucleus surrounded by lighter, negatively charged electrons.

A 2.0-kilogram ball traveling north at 4.0 meters per second collides head on with a 1.0-kilogram ball traveling south at 8.0 me
enyata [817]

Answer:

We know the momentum after the collision MUST be equal to the momentum BEFORE the collision.  

Momentum is a VECTOR quantity having both magnitude and direction.  The first ball has momentum P =m*v = 2*4 = 8 at 90degrees.  The second ball has momentum P = 1*8 = 8 at -90 or 270 degrees.  They sum to zero when you perform vector addition.
