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 features on mars point to the possibility of liquid water on the planet?
Stells [14]
     In 2011 NASA researchers identified features on Mars known as Recuring Slope Lineae ( or RSL ). RSL are relatively dark and narrow features.They are thought to be a signs of salty liquid water on Mars. One hypothesis for RSL formation is that they form when underground bodies of salty water leak into the surface.
   Answer: Recuring Slope Lineae.

In a given system of units the ratio of the unit of volume to that of area gives the unit of​
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

length

Explanation:

SI unit of volume = m^3

SI unit of area = m^2

volume unit / Area unit = m^3 / m^2

i.e, unit of length

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP!.!.!!.!!!!.!.!.
lbvjy [14]
1. Most PE, because PE is directly proportional to distance (height)
Height: 100 meters
Speed: 0 mph

2. Most KE, because KE is directly proportional to speed
Height: 10 meters
Speed: 40 mph

3. Most TE, average KE
Height: 10 meters
Speed: 40 mph

4. The skater gains thermal energy as she goes down the slope, because the speed of the skater increases, so it increases the total kinetic energy of the particles, and makes them vibrate faster, resulting in a higher temperature.

What does it mean tha velocity is vector quantity
Wewaii [24]
It means that velocity not only has a size, but it also has a direction.

Some other vector quantities are force and acceleration.
They have sizes and directions.
 
Temperature, cost, and weight are quantities with only size and no direction.
Those are called "scalar" quantities.
