Answer:

three times the original diameter

Explanation:

From the wire's resistance formula, we can calculate the relation between the diameter of the wire and its length:

R=\rho\frac{l}{\pi \frac{d^2}{4}}\\d=\sqrt{\rho \frac{4 l}{\pi R}}\\

Here, d is the wire's diameter, \rho is the electrical resistivity of the material and R is the resistance of the wire. We have l'=9l

d'=\sqrt{\rho \frac{4 l'}{\pi R}}\\d'=\sqrt{\rho \frac{4 (9l)}{\pi R}}\\d'=3\sqrt{\rho \frac{4 l}{\pi R}}\\d'=3d

Explain how a step-down transformer makes electricity safe for use in homes.
Savatey [412]

Answer:

it lowers the voltage in homes

Explanation:

this is due to safety reasons as a human cant survive power line voltages which are between 150k and 760k and if you plugged anything short of a piece of 1 inch thick wire not counting insulation it would immediately start smoking and burn the cable.

What is the average de Broglie wavelength of oxygen molecules in air at a temperature of 27°C? Use the results of the kinetic th
asambeis [7]

Answer:

\lambda = 2.57 \times 10^{-11} m

Explanation:

Average velocity of oxygen molecule at given temperature is

v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}

now we have

M = 32 g/mol = 0.032 kg/mol

T = 27 degree C = 300 K

now we have

v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3(8.31)(300)}{0.032}

v_{rms} = 483.4 m/s

now for de Broglie wavelength we know that

\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}

\lambda = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{(5.31\times 10^{-26})(483.4)}

\lambda = 2.57 \times 10^{-11} m

A hi-lo lifts an 25 N skid to top of a pallet rack. The pallet rack is 3.6 meters tall. The hi-lo takes 12 seconds to get the sk
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

7.5Watts

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force of lift  = 25N

Height  = 3.6m

Time  = 12s

Unknown:

Power output  = ?

Solution:

Power is the rate at which work is done ;

     Power  = \frac{force x height }{time}  

   Power  = \frac{25 x 3.6}{12}    = 7.5Watts
