-Which of the following wires will have the least resistance?

2 answers:

7 0

The wires that will have the least resistance is :
C. A short thick wire
in order to get the least resistence, you need the wire to be the lowest in length and the highest in Area

hope this helps

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The obstruction offered by the conductor in the path of flow of electrons is called the resistance of the conductor.

The reistance of the conductor is directly proportional to the length of the conductor and inversely proportional to the area of crossection of the conductor.

To minimize the resistance we need a wire of short length and more crossection area.

So, wire should be short and thick.

If earth's mass were half its actual value but its radius stayed the same, the escape velocity of earth would be:________

siniylev [52]

If the earth's mass were half its actual value but its radius stayed the same, the escape velocity of the earth would be $V_e = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}$ .

<h3>What is an escape velocity?</h3>

The ratio of the object's travel distance over a specific period of time is known as its velocity. As a vector quantity, the velocity requires both the magnitude and the direction. the slowest possible speed at which a body can break out of the gravitational pull of a certain planet or another object.

The formula to calculate the escape velocity of earth is given below:-

$V_e=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{r}}$

Given that earth's mass was half its actual value but its radius stayed the same. The escape velocity will be calculated as below:-

$V_e=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{r\times 2}}$

$V_e = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}$ .

Therefore, If the earth's mass were half its actual value but its radius stayed the same, the escape velocity of the earth would be $V_e = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}$ .

A ball is tossed straight up from the surface of a small, spherical asteroid with no atmosphere. The ball rises to a height equa

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

d. equal to one-fourth the acceleration at the surface of the asteroid.

Explanation:

The explanation is attached as a picture with this answer

Newton's law of universal gravitation is being used to compare the accelerations at the surface and at the top of the ball's path.

as it can be seen in the explanation that the proportional form of the equation is used because we do not need to necessarily use to final form with "G" for comparison calculations.

As per the given scenario only difference between the two points in the gravitational field is the distance from center of the spherical asteroid, i.e. r.

It is taken 2r for the top is the path. hence we obtain (1/4)g as our answer.

Find the final temperature of 375 grams of tea (c = 4.184 J/g°C) if its initial temperature is 95°C just before it is placed in

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

the final temperature of the tea is 7.39⁰C.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the tea, m = 375 g

specific heat capacity of the tea, C = 4.184 JJ/g°C

initial temperature of the tea, t₁ = 95°C

the final temperature of the tea, t₂ = ?

Energy lost by the refrigerator, Q = 137,460 J

The energy lost by the refrigerator is given by the following formula;

-Q = mc(t₂ - t₁)

-137,460 =375 x 4.184(t₂ - 95°C)

-137,460 = 1569(t₂ - 95°C)

$t_2-95 = \frac{-137,460}{1569} \\\\t_2-95 = -87.61\\\\t_2 = -87.61 + 95\\\\t_2 = 7.39 \ ^0 C$

Therefore, the final temperature of the tea is 7.39⁰C.

Hello everyone Lubricants are used in machines.Why?Hope u will answer it good day.Thank You✌️

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Lubrication is used to reduce friction. It is generally used for moving machine parts. The lubricants are the substances which are used to reduce the friction which acts between two surfaces in contact, between which relative motion can occur.
