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

Can density be used to identify what a substance is made of?
Korolek [52]
Possibly, if you have list of densities and you have to match it. I can't think of any other scenarios in which it would be able to.

Hope I helped! :)

Determine the change in velocity of a car that starts at rest and has a final velocity of 20 miles per second North
Katen [24]

Answer: The change in velocity is 20mph

Explanation: The change in velocity is the difference between the final velocity and the initial velocity.

The initial velocity is 0 and the final velocity is 20mph.

Using the formula dV=Vf-Vi

dV=20-0

dV=20mph North

A race car starting from rest accelerates uniformly at a rare of 4.90 meters per second^2. What is the cars speed after it has t
Vesnalui [34]

From the law of Galileo Galilei  :v²=v₀²+2ad we take the speed

v²=0+2*4.90*200=1960=>v=√1960=44.27 m/s

(c) What would the angle of reflection be if the incident ray
kvasek [131]

Answer:

So, if a wave hits a mirror at an angle of 36°, it will be reflected at the same angle (36°). ... An incident ray of light hits a plane mirror at an angle and is reflected back off it. The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. Both angles are measured from the normal.

Afina-wow [57]

Explanation:

Understanding that stars are naturally quite hot, imagine I pulled a piece of hot iron from a furnace. It would glow a bright red, and then slowly fade to black as the iron cools.

White dwarfs glow for the same reason - they are HOT!
