Answer:

0.5m/s2

Explanation:

acceleration= change in velocity/time taken

= v - u/ t

= 10-5/10

=5/10

= 0.5m/s2

when an incandescent light bulb is turned on, its thin wire filament heats up quickly. as the temperature of this wire filament

Leno4ka [110]

Well, we usually assume that the resistance of a circuit component
is constant and doesn't change. But the truth is that for anything
that conducts current, its resistance always increases somewhat
when it warms up.

For things like light bulbs, electric toasters, space heaters, electric
stove burners, the heat coils in a blow-dryer ... anything that's
designed to be really hot when it's doing its job ... the resistance
of those things increases significantly when they come up to their
operating temperatures.

Calculate the ratio of the resistance of 12.0 m of aluminum wire 2.5 mm in diameter, to 30.0 m of copper wire 1.6 mm in diameter

alukav5142 [94]

Answer: 0.258

Explanation:

The resistance $R$ of a wire is calculated by the following formula:

$R=\rho\frac{l}{s}$ (1)

Where:

$\rho$ is the resistivity of the material the wire is made of. For aluminium is $\rho_{Al}=2.65(10)^{-8}m\Omega$ and for copper is $\rho_{Cu}=1.68(10)^{-8}m\Omega$

$l$ is the length of the wire, which in the case of aluminium is $l_{Al}=12m$ , and in the case of copper is $l_{Cu}=30m$

$s$ is the transversal area of the wire. In this case is a circumference for both wires, so we will use the formula of the area of the circumference:

$s=\pi{(\frac{d}{2})}^{2}$ (2) Where $d$ is the diameter of the circumference.

For aluminium wire the diameter is $d_{Al}=2.5mm=0.0025m$ and for copper is $d_{Cu}=1.6mm=0.0016m$

So, in this problem we have two transversal areas:

For aluminium:

$s_{Al}=\pi{(\frac{d_{AL}}{2})}^{2}=\pi{(\frac{0.0025m}{2})}^{2}$

$s_{Al}=0.000004908m^{2}$ (3)

For copper:

$s_{Cu}=\pi{\frac{(d_{Cu}}{2})}^{2}=\pi{(\frac{0.0016m}{2})}^{2}$

$s_{Cu}=0.00000201m^{2}$ (4)

Now we have to calculate the resistance for each wire:

Aluminium wire:

$R_{Al}=2.65(10)^{-8}m\Omega\frac{12m}{0.000004908m^{2}}$ (5)

$R_{Al}=0.0647\Omega$ (6) Resistance of aluminium wire

Copper wire:

$R_{Cu}=1.68(10)^{-8}m\Omega\frac{30m}{0.00000201m^{2}}$ (6)

$R_{Cu}=0.250\Omega$ (7) Resistance of copper wire

At this point we are able to calculate the ratio of the resistance of both wires:

$Ratio=\frac{R_{Al}}{R_{Cu}}$ (8)

$\frac{R_{Al}}{R_{Cu}}=\frac{0.0647\Omega}{0.250\Omega}$ (9)

Finally:

$\frac{R_{Al}}{R_{Cu}}=0.258$ This is the ratio

What is the correct formula for power? A. Power = work / time B. Power = work * time C. Power = force * distance D. Power = work

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

A. Power = Work / Time

Explanation:

Power is the amount of work done over time, or rather the rate of work, which is given by the unit of watts (W). Since work is defined by Force * Displacement, we can also say Power = Force * Displacement / Time.
