220V is applied to two different conductors made of the same material. One conductor is twice as long and twice as thick as the

second. What is the ratio of the power transformed in the first relative to the second?

Answer:

Explanation:

For calculating resistance of a conductor , the formula is

R = ρ l / A , ρ is specific resistance , l is length and A is cross sectional area of wire.

For first wire length is l₁ , area is A₁ resistance is R₁, for second resistance is R₂ , length is l₂ and area is A₂

Given , l₁ = 2l₂ , A₁ = 4A₂ , area is proportional to square of thickness.

R₁ / R₂ = I₁A₂ / I₂A₁

= 2l₂ x A₁ / 4 I₂A₁

= 1 / 2

2R₁ = R₂

Power = V² / R

Ratio of power = (V² / R₁) x (R₂ / V²)

= R₂ / R₁

= 2 .

If the student hit a drum in his bedroom how would the sound wave behave differently than if he hit it in a swimming pool? Pleas
zlopas [31]
The sound wave would behave differently in a swimming pool than in his bedroom because sound waves travel faster in more dense mediums; such as water. The wave will travel faster in water, and slower in air.

A resistor uses 100 w of power when connected to 120 v emf. What is the current through the same resistor when connected to a 22
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the resistance of resistor be R .

Power of resistor  V² / R , where V is potential applied .

V² / R = 100

120² / R = 100

R = 120² / 100

= 144 ohm .

Now potential diff applied = 220 V

current = potential diff / resistance

= 220 / 144

= 1.53 A approx .

Can someone plz help me with this
Elena-2011 [213]
1st Law: Objects that are in motion tend to stay in motion. This motion can change with external forces. 

<span>If you were to stop pedaling on bike while in motion, you will notice that you will keep moving. This is because a moving body (you) has inertia. If there wasn't any friction between the tires and the ground, between the axles and wheel, any air resistance, or any other force that acts against you, then you could be coasting indefinitely! </span>

<span>2nd Law: Force is equal to the mass times acceleration. </span>

<span>When you pedal, you are applying a force onto the pedal. This force is then translated through tension to apply torque onto the wheel. Turning the wheel will make you accelerate in the lateral direction. </span>

<span>3rd Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. </span>

<span>Without this, you could pedal and pedal, but you will be not go anywhere! It is essentially the friction between the tires and the ground that propels you forward. If the ground did not apply to the tire the same amount of force that the tire was applying to the ground, the tire would not "catch" and no friction would be applied. And if there was no third law, the weight of you and your bike would "sink" into the ground because the ground would not be applying a normal force back onto you.

hope this helps and if you have any questions just hmu and ask :)</span>

Which state or states of matter take(s) the shape of its container? A) gas B) solid C) liquid D) liquid and gas
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

D) liquid and gas

Explanation:

The three main states of matter are:

- Solid: in solids, the molecules are bond together by strong intermolecular forces, so the molecules are not free to move. Therefore, a solid has a definite shape, so it does not take the shape of its container.

- Liquid: in liquids, molecules are not bond together, so they are free to move (still, there are some weak intermolecular forces which keep them close to each other). Since in liquids molecules can slide past each other, they take the shape of the container.

- Gas: in gases, molecules are totally free to move, so gases take the shape (and also the volume) of the container.

Based on the definitions above, we can conclude that the correct answer is

D) liquid and gas

true or false the speed of sound traveling through steel is much less than the speed of sound traveling through air
Misha Larkins [42]
This is false. Sound travels faster through steel. That is why you can see people in movies putting their ear on the railroads to see whether a train is coming. That is because they can't hear it through air, but the sound travels through the steel.
