Two objects of different mass rest on earth. Which one experiences the greater acceleration due to gravity?

1 answer:

3 0

The object with less mass will experience greater acceleration.

We know, their product would be constant which we know as "Force"

Hope this helps!

Calculate the charge that flows through the cell in 1 minute. Each filament lamp has a power of 3 W and a resistance of 12 Ω

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

24 Coulumbs

Explanation:

Given data

time= 1 minute= 6 seconds

P=2 W

R= 12 ohm

We know that

P= I^2R

P/R= I^2

2/12= I^2

I^2= 0.166

I= √0.166

I= 0.4 amps

We know also that

Q= It

substitute

Q= 0.4*60

Q= 24 Columbs

Hence the charge is 24 Coulumbs

Where do you think the government should put the greatest support: solar energy, wind energy, clean coal, oil exploration, gas e

True [87]

The government should put it support in a combination of sources, as no source in the present can fully provide all energy requirements.

A copper wire and a tungsten wire of the same length have the same resistance. What is the ratio of the diameter of the copper w

spayn [35]

Answer:

Therefore the ratio of diameter of the copper to that of the tungsten is

$\sqrt{3} :\sqrt{10}$

Explanation:

Resistance: Resistance is defined to the ratio of voltage to the electricity.

The resistance of a wire is

directly proportional to its length i.e $R\propto l$
inversely proportional to its cross section area i.e $R\propto \frac{1}{A}$

Therefore

$R=\rho\frac{l}{A}$

ρ is the resistivity.

The unit of resistance is ohm (Ω).

The resistivity of copper(ρ₁) is 1.68×10⁻⁸ ohm-m

The resistivity of tungsten(ρ₂) is 5.6×10⁻⁸ ohm-m

For copper:

$A=\pi r_1^2 =\pi (\frac{d_1}{2} )^2$

$R_1=\rho_1\frac{l_1}{\pi(\frac{d_1}{2})^2 }$

$\Rightarrow (\frac{d_1}{2})^2=\rho_1\frac{l_1}{\pi R_1 }$ ......(1)

Again for tungsten:

$R_2=\rho_2\frac{l_2}{\pi(\frac{d_2}{2})^2 }$

$\Rightarrow (\frac{d_2}{2})^2=\rho_2\frac{l_2}{\pi R_2 }$ ........(2)

Given that $R_1=R_2$ and $l_1=l_2$

Dividing the equation (1) and (2)

$\Rightarrow\frac{ (\frac{d_1}{2})^2}{ (\frac{d_2}{2})^2}=\frac{\rho_1\frac{l_1}{\pi R_1 }}{\rho_2\frac{l_2}{\pi R_2 }}$

$\Rightarrow( \frac{d_1}{d_2} )^2=\frac{1.68\times 10^{-8}}{5.6\times 10^{-8}}$ [since $R_1=R_2$ and $l_1=l_2$ ]

$\Rightarrow( \frac{d_1}{d_2} )=\sqrt{\frac{1.68\times 10^{-8}}{5.6\times 10^{-8}}}$

$\Rightarrow( \frac{d_1}{d_2} )=\sqrt{\frac{3}{10}}$

$\Rightarrow d_1:d_2=\sqrt{3} :\sqrt{10}$

Therefore the ratio of diameter of the copper to that of the tungsten is

$\sqrt{3} :\sqrt{10}$
