Answer: 247.5 ohms

Explanation: Since the two wires are of the same materials, their resistivity will be the same. Find solution attached.

Answer:

New Resistance = 247.5 ohm

Explanation:

Resistance = resistivity * length / area

Since resistivity for the material is constant, resistance is directly proportional to (length/area).

This means that if (length/area) decreases or increases by any ratio, then resistance will increase or decrease by the same ratio.

So let's find the change in length/area

New length = 0.25 old length

New area = (1/9) old area                                 (This is because area equation contains a square of the diameter. if diameter decreases by 1/3, area decreases by (1/3)^2   )

So we now get length /area:

New length / new area = ( 0.25 old length) / (1/9 of old area)

New length / new area = 9*0.25 (old length / old area)

New length / new area = 2.25 (old length / old area)

To get the new resistance, we simply multiply it by the ratio we just found.

This equals:

110 * 2.25 = 247.5 ohm

What are the 2 types of ions.
Alina [70]

Answer:

Anions have more electrons than protons and so have a net negative charge. Cations have more protons than electrons and so have a net positive charge. Zwitterions are neutral and have both positive and negative charges at different locations throughout the molecule.

Which pair does NOT have an electric force between them?.
viva [34]

Two neutral objects will not have any electric force of attraction or repulsion between them.

<h3>What is the condition for the electric force between two objects?</h3>

As we know from the electrostatics that whenever there are two charges having a positive charge on one and a negative on the other will attract each other

similarly, if they are having like charges which are both of them having positive or both of them having a negative charge then there will be a force of repulsion between them.

But if both of them or even one of them is neutral then there will not be any electric force between them.

Thus neutral objects will not have any electric force of attraction or repulsion between them.

One jet is flying east at 880 km/h,and another is traveling north at 880 km/h.Do they have the same velocity?the same speed?Expl
shusha [124]
Velocity is the speed and direction combined.
So, the two jets both are going at the same speed.
But they are going in different directions, so their velocities are different.
