Answer:

r₁/r₂ = 1/2 = 0.5

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by the following formula:

R = ρL/A

where,

R = Resistance of wire

ρ = resistivity of the material of wire

L = Length of wire

A = Cross-sectional area of wire = πr²

r = radius of wire

Therefore,

R = ρL/πr²

<u>FOR WIRE A</u>:

R₁ = ρ₁L₁/πr₁²   -------- equation 1

<u>FOR WIRE B</u>:

R₂ = ρ₂L₂/πr₂²   -------- equation 2

It is given that resistance of wire A is four times greater than the resistance of wire B.

R₁ = 4 R₂

using values from equation 1 and equation 2:

ρ₁L₁/πr₁² = 4ρ₂L₂/πr₂²

since, the material and length of both wires are same.

ρ₁ = ρ₂ = ρ

L₁ = L₂ = L

Therefore,

ρL/πr₁² = 4ρL/πr₂²

1/r₁² = 4/r₂²

r₁²/r₂² = 1/4

taking square root on both sides:

<u>r₁/r₂ = 1/2 = 0.5</u>

Sound level B in decibels is defined as
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The approximate combined sound  intensity is I_{T}=1.1\times10^{-4}W/m^{2}

Explanation:

The decibel  scale intensity for busy traffic is 80 dB. so intensity will be

10log(\frac{I_{1}}{I_{0}} )=80, therefore I_{1}=1\times10^{8}I_{0}=1\times10^{8} * 1\times10^{-12}W/m^{2}=1\times10^{-4}W/m^{2}

In the same way for the loud conversation having a decibel intensity of 70 dB.

10log(\frac{I_{2}}{I_{0}} )=70, therefore I_{2}=1\times10^{7}I_{0}=1\times10^{7} * 1\times10^{-12}W/m^{2}=1\times10^{-5}W/m^{2}

Finally we add both of them I_{T}=I_{1}+I_{2}=1\times10^{-4}W/m^{2}+1\times10^{-5}W/m^{2}=1.1\times10^{-4}W/m^{2}, is the approximate combined sound  intensity.

The width of a nuclear state is found to be 10^-2 ev. The corresponding lifetime of this state is?
Lelechka [254]

The width of a nuclear state is found to be 10^-2 ev. The corresponding lifetime are called Reconstruction debate that had federalism debate that had been an issue since the 1790s.

Reconstruction failed by most other measures: Radical Republican legislation ultimately nuclear to protect former slaves from white persecution and failed to engender fundamental changes to the social fabric of the South. When President Rutherford B. federalism debate that had been an issue since the 1790s almost mediately . Hayes removed federal troops from the South in 1877, former Confederate officials and slave returned to nuclear the support of a conservative Supreme Court, these newly empowered white southern politicians passed black codes, voter qualifications, and other anti-progressive legislation to reverse the rights that blacks had gained during Radical Reconstruction. The U.S. Supreme Court bolstered this federalism anti-progressive movement federalism  with decisions in the Slaughterhouse Cases, the Civil Rights Cases, and United States v.
