Answer:

Movement of electrons

Explanation:

when electrons move from a point to another, they carry along charges in the course of moving. Charges could be through metallic objects and as well could be through some conducting solution.

That leads us to Ohm's Law : it states that current flowing through a metallic conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across its ends, provided that temperature remains constant. So for charges to flow through a conductor, there are factors to be considered.

A 1-meter-long wire consists of an inner copper core with a radius of 1.0 mm and an outer aluminum sheathe, which is 1.0 mm thic

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

The total resistance of the wire is = $1.917\times10^{-3}$

Explanation:

Since the wires will both be in contact with the voltage source at the same time and the current flows along in their length-wise direction, the two wires will be considered to be in parallel.

Hence, for resistances in parallel, the total resistance, $R_{Total}$

$\frac{1}{R_{Total}} =\frac{1}{R_{cu} }+\frac{1}{R_{al}}$

Parameters given:

Length of wire = 1 m

Cross sectional area of copper $A_{cu}= \pi r^{2}= \pi \times (1\times 10^{-3} )^{2} =3.142\times10^{-6} m^{2}$

Cross sectional area of aluminium wire

$A_{al}= \pi( R^{2}-r^{2})\\\\ = \pi \times [ (2\times 10^{-3} )^{2}-(1\times 10^{-3} )^{2}] =9.42\times10^{-6} m^{2}\\$

Resistivity of copper $\rho _{cu}=1.7\times 10^{-8} \Omega .m$

Resistivity of Aluminium $\rho _{al}=2.8\times 10^{-8} \Omega .m$

Resistance of copper $R_{cu}= \frac{\rho_{cu} \times l}{A_{cu} } =\frac{1.7\times 10^{-8} \times 1}{3.142\times10^{-6} } =5.41\times 10^{-3}\Omega$

Resistance of aluminium $R_{al}= \frac{\rho_{al} \times l}{A_{al} } =\frac{2.8\times 10^{-8} \times 1}{9.42\times10^{-6} } =2.97\times 10^{-3}\Omega$

The total resistance of the wire can be obtained as follows;

$\frac{1}{R_{Total}} =\frac{1}{5.41\times10^{-3} }+\frac{1}{2.97\times10^{-3}}=521.52\frac{1}{\Omega}$

$R_{Total}= 1.917\times 10^{-3}\Omega$

∴ The total resistance of the wire = $1.917\times 10^{-3}\Omega$

What is one way that continental rifts are similar to mid-ocean ridges and what is one that they are different?

adell [148]

Explanation:

Continental rifts and mid-ocean ridges are both features of a divergent plate margin.

In both cases plates are moving away from one another. Therefore they are creating new land masses.

A continental drift like the east African rift valley is where a continent begins to pull apart or diverges.
A mid-ocean ridge is divergent margin in the ocean.

They are different in that, continental rift occurs within the continental plate that are on land.

But:

Mid-ocean ridges are in the oceanic crust in the ocean . They form the largest physiographic structure on the earth surface called the mid-ocean ridge.

What is the time it takes an object that moves at 25 m/min to travel 505 meters?

Mrac [35]

Answer:

25 meters = 1 minute

505 meters = ? minutes

Therefore, 505/25

Therefore, 101/5

Therefore, 2.2 minutes

It moves 505 meters in 2.2min
