Suppose an electrical wire is replaced with one having every linear dimension doubled (i.e. the length and radius have twice the

ri original values). The wire now has ... a resistance which depends only on the material. the same resistance as before. less resistance than before. a resistance which can't be further predicted with the given information. more resistance than before.

Answer:

The wire now has less (the half resistance) than before.

Explanation:

The resistance in a wire is calculated as:

R=\alpha \frac{l}{s}

Were:

R is resistance

\alpha is the resistance coefficient

l is the length of the material

s is the area of the transversal wire, in the case of wire will be circular area (s=\pi r^{2}).

So if the lenght and radius are doubled, the equation goes as follows:

R=\alpha \frac{l}{\pi r^{2} } =\alpha \frac{2l}{\pi {(2r)}^{2} } =\alpha \frac{2l}{\pi 4 {r}^{2} }=\frac{1}{2} \alpha \frac{l}{\pi r^{2} }

So finally because the circular area is a square function, the resulting equation is half of the one before.

2. A liquid that is twice as dense as water is used in a barometer. With this barometer, atmospheric pressure would push the liq
Scrat [10]

Answer:

The reason why the height for the liquid is 5.18 m is because, for constant pressure, height is inversely proportional to density.

Explanation:

We know that pressure, P = ρgh where ρ = density of material, g = 9.8 m/s and h = height.

Since density of liquid = 2 × density of water = 2 × 1000 kg/m = 2000 kg/m³

Since atmospheric pressure = 101500 N/m²,

The height of liquid for this pressure is h = P/ρg = 101500/(2000 × 9.8) = 5.18 m

For the same pressure, the height for water is h = P/ρg = 101500/(1000 × 9.8) = 10.36 m

Since pressure = constant,

P = ρgh ⇒ P/ρg = h since P and g are constant, h ∝ 1/ρ

ρ₁h₁ = ρ₂h₂

So, the reason why the height for the liquid is 5.18 m is because, for constant pressure, height is inversely proportional to density.

damaskus [11]

Answer:

Same, the electric fields point in opposite directions and therefore cancel at some midpoint.

Explanation:

The Electric field net at some point between them is zero, only if they point in opposite direction (they cancel to the each other). In order the electric fields  have opposite direction, at some point between the bees , the bees must have the same sign of electric charge
