Answer:

The option is not there.

Explanation:

Given:

Before melting:

Radius, r

Length, l

Resistance, R

Resistivity, p

After melting:

Length, l2 = 1/2 × l

Using the resistivity relation,

p × l = R × A

Where A = area

Since only the length of the conductor changed, volume also will be affected.

Volume, V = area × l

Area, A2 = V/(1/2l)

= 2 × V/l

(R × A)/l = (R2 × A2)/(l/2)

(R × V/l)/l = (R2 × 2 × V/l)/(l/2)

(R × V)/l^2 = 4 × (R2 × V)/l^2

R = 4 × R2

R2 = R/4

Where

R2 = resistance of the new conductor

Answer:

b) R/4 (There seems to an error in mentioning the multiple choices of this question, please see below explanation of correct calculations for this  question.)

Explanation:

dimension of the conductor before melting is l, r

reistivity is p

R=(p*l)/(pie*r2)

after reforming length is reduced to L=l/4

volume in both the cases will be same

i.e. pie * r^2 * l =pie * R^2 * L

r^2 * l = R^2 * (1/2)l

due to this radius will become R=sqrt(2) * r

now new reistance is given by Rx=(p * L)/(pie * R^2)

i.e. Rx=(p * l/2)/(pie * r^2 * 2)

after simplification RX=((p * l)/(pie * r^2))/4

i.e. Rx=R/4

what is the difference between kinetic energy and random motion of a cylider of oxygen carried by a car and one standing on a pl
pochemuha

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

If we are talking about the kinetic energy of the cylinder of oxygen:

The kinetic energy possessed by any object is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

In this case, we have one cylinder carried by a car and one standing on a platform: this means that the speed of the cylinder carried by the car will be different from zero (and so also its kinetic energy will be different from zer), while the speed of the cylinder standing on the platform will be zero (and so its kinetic energy also zero). Therefore, the kinetic energy of the cylinder carried by the car will be larger than that standing on a platform.

Instead, if we are talking about the kinetic energy due to the random motion of the molecules of oxygen inside the cylinder:

The kinetic energy of the molecules in a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas:

K=\frac{3}{2}kT

where k is called Boltzmann constant and T is the absolute temperature of the gas. Therefore, we see that K does not depend on whether the gas is in motion or not, but only on its temperature - therefore, in this case there is no difference between the kinetic energy of the cylinder carried by the car and that standing on the platform (assuming they are at the same temperature)
