You are given three pieces of wire that have different shapes (dimensions). You connect each piece of wire separately to a batte

ry. The first piece has a length L and cross-sectional area A. The second is twice as long as the first, but has the same thickness. The third is the same length as the first, but has twice the cross-sectional area. Rank the wires in order of which carries the most current (has the lowest resistance) when connected to batteries with the same voltage difference. Rank the wires from most current (least resistance) to least current (most resistance).

Answer:

R_3 < R_1 < R_2

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by:

R=\frac{\rho L}{A}

where

\rho is the resistivity of the material

L is the length of the wire

A is the cross-sectional area of the wire

1) The first wire has length L and cross-sectional area A. So, its resistance is:

R_1=\frac{\rho L}{A}

2) The second wire has length twice the first one: 2L, and same thickness, A. So its resistance is

R_2=\frac{2\rho L}{A}

3) The third wire has length L (as the first one), but twice cross sectional area, 2A. So, its resistance is

R_3=\frac{\rho L}{2A}

By comparing the three expressions, we find

R_3 < R_1 < R_2

So, this is the ranking of the wire from most current (least resistance) to least current (most resistance).

What must the charge (sign and magnitude) of a 3.45 g particle be for it to remain stationary when placed in a downward-directed
Pani-rosa [81]

     charge must be equal to 5.74 ×10⁻⁵

 In the question it is said that the particle remains stationary which means the the net force on the particle is zero. So, the counterbalancing forces must be equal which means weight is equal to upward electric force.

     →    Fnet =0

     →    mg =  qE

 substituting the values we get :

         0.00345 × 9.81 =  q × 590

   →       q = 5.74 ×10⁻⁵

    Hence the charge must be equal to   5.74 ×10⁻⁵.

What amount of heat is required to raise the temperature of 200 g of water by 15°C (the specific heat of water is 1 cal/g°C)
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Heat energy required (Q) = 3,000 J

Explanation:

Find:

Mass of water (M) = 200 g

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 15°C

Specific heat of water (C) = 1 cal/g°C

Find:

Heat energy required (Q) = ?

Computation:

Q = M × ΔT × C

Heat energy required (Q) = Mass of water (M) × Change in temperature (ΔT) × Specific heat of water (C)

Heat energy required (Q) = 200 g × 15°C × 1 cal/g°C

Heat energy required (Q) = 3,000 J

A girl rides her scooter to school, a total distance of 4.5km. She has to slow down twice to cross busy streets, but overall the
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

6.93 km/h

Explanation:

To calculate her average speed, we need the "speed" formula, which is:

average speed = distance / time

You plug in your numbers and it will give you the answer.

Speed = 4.5km/0.65hr

           = 6.923 km/h
