The resistance of resistor is greater for:

Physics
1 answer:
Monica [59]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

c: long and thin resistor.

Explanation:

The resistance of a resistor is given by:

R = ρ*L/A

where:

R = resistance

ρ = resistivity (depends on the material)

L =  length of the material

A = cross-sectional area of the material

We can see that the length is on the numerator, which means that if we increase the length, then the resistance is increased.

We also can see that the cross-sectional area is on the denominator, then if we increase the area (for example, with a ticker resistor) the resistance decreases.

Then if we want to maximize the resistance, we need to have a long and thin resistor, so the correct answer is c.

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Gay-Lussac’s law, because as the pressure increases, the temperature increases

Explanation:

First of all, we can notice that the volume of the tank is fixed: this means that the volume of the air inside is also fixed.

This means that in this situation we can apply Gay-Lussac's law, which states that:

"for a gas kept at constant volume, the pressure of the gas is proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas".

Mathematically:

p\propto T

where p is the pressure in Pascal and T is the temperature in Kelvin.

In this case, the tank is filled with air: this means that the pressure of the gas inside the tank increases. And therefore, according to Gay-Lussac's law, the temperature will increase proportionally, and this explains why the tank gets hot.

<span>Mass of the copper penny m = 2.6 g Atomic mass of copper = 63.55, Atomic number = 29, So the number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number = 63 - 29 = 34 a. Neutron mass = 34 x (2.6 / 63.55) = 1.4 grams Copper atoms per mole = 6.040 x 10^23 atoms/mol moles of copper = 2.6 / 63.06 = 0.04123 mol Total atoms in the copper = 6.040 x 10^23 atoms/mol x 0.04123 mol = 0.25 x 10^23 atoms Number of electrons in the copper = 29 per atom Mass of the electron = 9.085 x 10^-28 g b. Electron mass = 0.25 x 10^23 x 29 x 9.085 x 10^-28 = 65.86 x 10^-5 g</span>

Answer:

A) The acceleration is zero

<em>B) The total distance is 112 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Velocity vs Time Graph</u>

It shows the behavior of the velocity as time increases. If the velocity increases, then the acceleration is positive, if the velocity decreases, the acceleration is negative, and if the velocity is constant, then the acceleration is zero.

The graph shows a horizontal line between points A and B. It means the velocity didn't change in that interval. Thus the acceleration in that zone is zero.

A. To calculate the acceleration, we use the formula:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_2-v_1}{t_2-t_1}

Let's pick the extremes of the region AB: (0,8) and (12,8). The acceleration is:

\displaystyle a=\frac{8-8}{12-0}=0

This confirms the previous conclusion.

B. The distance covered by the body can be calculated as the area behind the graph. Since the velocity behaves differently after t=12 s, we'll split the total area into a rectangle and a triangle.

Area of rectangle= base*height=12 s * 8 m/s = 96 m

Area of triangle= base*height/2 = 4 s * 8 m/s /2= 16 m

The total distance is: 96 m + 16 m = 112 m
