The resistivity of a metal increases slightly with increased temperature. This can be expressed as rho= rho0[1+α(T−T0)] , where

T0 is a reference temperature, usually 20°C, and α is the temperature coefficient of resistivity. For copper, α = 3.9× 10−3 ° C−1. Suppose a long, thin copper wire has a resistance of 0.25 Ω at 20°C.
At what temperature, in °C, will its resistance be 0.31 Ω?

Answer:

At 81. 52 Deg C its resistance will be 0.31 Ω.

Explanation:

The resistance of wire =R_T =\frac{\rho_T \ l}{A}

Where R_T =Resistance of wire at Temperature T

\rho_T = Resistivity at temperature T =\rho_0 \ [1 \ + \alpha\ (T-T_0\ )]

Where T_0 =20\ Deg\ C , \  \rho_0 = Constant,  \alpha =3.9 \times 10^-^3 DegC^-1 \ (Given)

l=Length of the wire

& A = Area of cross section of wire

For long and thin wire the resistance & resistivity relation will be as follows

\frac{R_T_1}{R_T_2}=\frac{\rho_0(1+\alpha \cdot(T_1-2 0 )}{\rho_0(1+\alpha \cdot (T_2 -20 )}

\frac{0.25}{0.31}=\frac{1}{[1+\alpha(T-20)]}

1.24=1+\alpha (T-20)

0.24=\alpha(\ T -20 )

Putting\ the\ value\ of \alpha = 3.9 \times 10^-^3 DegC^-1

T = 81.52 Deg C

You set your stationary bike on a high 80-N friction-like resistive force and cycle for 30 min at a speed of 8.0 m/s . Your body
stellarik [79]

A) The change in internal chemical energy is 1.15\cdot 10^7 J

B) The time needed is 1 minute

Explanation:

First of all, we start by calculating the power output of you and the bike, given by:

P=Fv

where

F = 80 N is the force that must be applied in order to overcome friction and travel at constant speed

v = 8.0 m/s is the velocity

Substituting,

P=(80)(8.0)=640 W

The energy output is related to the power by the equation

P=\frac{E}{t}

where:

P = 640 W is the power output

E is the energy output

t = 30 min \cdot 60 = 1800 s is the time elapsed

Solving for E,

E=Pt=(640)(1800)=1.15\cdot 10^6 J

Since the body is 10% efficient at converting chemical energy into mechanical work (which is the output energy), this means that the change in internal chemical energy is given by

\Delta E = \frac{E}{0.10}=\frac{1.15\cdot 10^6}{0.10}=1.15\cdot 10^7 J

B)

From the previous part, we found that in a time of

t = 30 min

the amount of internal chemical energy converted is

E=1.15\cdot 10^7 J

Here we want to find the time t' needed to convert an amount of chemical energy of

E'=3.8\cdot 10^5 J

So we can setup the following proportion:

\frac{t}{E}=\frac{t'}{E'}

And solving for t',

t'=\frac{E't}{E}=\frac{(3.8\cdot 10^5)(30)}{1.15\cdot 10^7}=1 min

What is a tool that can be used to measure the size of a force
Travka [436]
The answer to this question would be: a spring scale.

The spring scale that you use to determine your body weight is actually a device that measures your body gravitational force. The force itself influenced by your body weight, that is why it can determine your body weight.
More weight means more force, more force will shrink the spring more.

A truck initially traveling at a speed of 22 meters per second increases speed at a constant rate of 2.4 meters per second^2 for
Usimov [2.4K]
Thank you for posting your question here. The total distance traveled by the truck during the 3.2 seconds interval is 83 m. Below is the solution:

d = vit + 1/2 at^2
d = (22m/ s) (3.2s) + 1/2 (2.4m/ s^2) (3.2s)^2
d = 83 m 
Hope the answer helps.

aniked [119]
The name of the scientist who incorrectly theorized that it was the positive charge that moved through a circuit is Benjamin Franklin. Franklin made his famous experiments with a kite in a charged cloud.
He was the scientist that made the electrical notation where the current is given by the direction of the positive charges flow.
