A copper wire and a tungsten wire of the same length have the same resistance. What is the ratio of the diameter of the copper w

spayn [35]

Answer:

Therefore the ratio of diameter of the copper to that of the tungsten is

$\sqrt{3} :\sqrt{10}$

Explanation:

Resistance: Resistance is defined to the ratio of voltage to the electricity.

The resistance of a wire is

directly proportional to its length i.e $R\propto l$
inversely proportional to its cross section area i.e $R\propto \frac{1}{A}$

Therefore

$R=\rho\frac{l}{A}$

ρ is the resistivity.

The unit of resistance is ohm (Ω).

The resistivity of copper(ρ₁) is 1.68×10⁻⁸ ohm-m

The resistivity of tungsten(ρ₂) is 5.6×10⁻⁸ ohm-m

For copper:

$A=\pi r_1^2 =\pi (\frac{d_1}{2} )^2$

$R_1=\rho_1\frac{l_1}{\pi(\frac{d_1}{2})^2 }$

$\Rightarrow (\frac{d_1}{2})^2=\rho_1\frac{l_1}{\pi R_1 }$ ......(1)

Again for tungsten:

$R_2=\rho_2\frac{l_2}{\pi(\frac{d_2}{2})^2 }$

$\Rightarrow (\frac{d_2}{2})^2=\rho_2\frac{l_2}{\pi R_2 }$ ........(2)

Given that $R_1=R_2$ and $l_1=l_2$

Dividing the equation (1) and (2)

$\Rightarrow\frac{ (\frac{d_1}{2})^2}{ (\frac{d_2}{2})^2}=\frac{\rho_1\frac{l_1}{\pi R_1 }}{\rho_2\frac{l_2}{\pi R_2 }}$

$\Rightarrow( \frac{d_1}{d_2} )^2=\frac{1.68\times 10^{-8}}{5.6\times 10^{-8}}$ [since $R_1=R_2$ and $l_1=l_2$ ]

$\Rightarrow( \frac{d_1}{d_2} )=\sqrt{\frac{1.68\times 10^{-8}}{5.6\times 10^{-8}}}$

$\Rightarrow( \frac{d_1}{d_2} )=\sqrt{\frac{3}{10}}$

$\Rightarrow d_1:d_2=\sqrt{3} :\sqrt{10}$

Therefore the ratio of diameter of the copper to that of the tungsten is

$\sqrt{3} :\sqrt{10}$

Which of the following statements are true at some time during the course of the motion? Check all that apply. Check all that ap

eduard

Answer:

The object can have zero velocity and, simultaneously, nonzero acceleration.

The object can have zero acceleration and, simultaneously, nonzero velocity.

The object can have nonzero velocity and nonzero acceleration simultaneously.

Explanation:

An object in simple harmonic motion has a total mechanical energy (sum of elastic potential energy and kinetic energy) that is constant:

E=U+K=1/2kx^2 + 1/2}mv^2

where,

k is equal to the spring constant

x is equal to the displacement

m is the mass

v is the speed

We can note that the force on the spring is given by Hook's law:

F=-kx

In Newton's law F = ma, this can be also be written as

ma=-kx

a=-k/mx

This implies that the acceleration is proportional to the displacement.

From the first equation, we can now states that:

When the displacement is zero, x=0, the acceleration is zero, a=0, and the velocity is maximum

When the velocity is zero, v=0, the acceleration is maximum, which occurs when the displacement is maximum

In all the other intermediate situations, both velocity and acceleration are nonzero.

So the correct answers are

The object can have zero acceleration and, simultaneously, nonzero velocity.

The object can have nonzero velocity and nonzero acceleration simultaneously.

The object can have zero velocity and, simultaneously, nonzero acceleration.

What is voltage, and what is its relationship to amperage and power?

ziro4ka [17]

Explanation:

Amperage is the unit of electric current. It describes the strength of the electric current in a circuit.

The voltage is the driving force of the current in a circuit

Power is a function of voltage and current in the circuit.

Current is designate as I

Voltage as V

Power as P

I = $\frac{V}{R}$

Where R is the resistance to flow of electricity

P = I x V = $\frac{V^{2} }{R}$

The unit of power is watts and voltage is volts
