Find the ratio of the diameter of aluminium to copper wire, if they have the same

Physics

kicyunya [14]2 years ago

Answer:

1.24

Explanation:

The resistivity of copper\rho_1=2.65\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m

The resistivity of Aluminum,\rho_2=1.72\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m

The wires have same resistance per unit length.

The resistance of a wire is given by :

R=\rho \dfrac{l}{A}\\\\R=\rho \dfrac{l}{\pi (\dfrac{d}{2})^2}\\\\\dfrac{R}{l}=\rho \dfrac{1}{\pi (\dfrac{d}{2})^2}

According to given condition,

\rho_1 \dfrac{1}{\pi (\dfrac{d_1}{2})^2}=\rho_2 \dfrac{1}{\pi (\dfrac{d_2}{2})^2}\\\\\rho_1 \dfrac{1}{{d_1}^2}=\rho_2 \dfrac{1}{{d_2}^2}\\\\(\dfrac{d_2}{d_1})^2=\dfrac{\rho_1}{\rho_2}\\\\\dfrac{d_2}{d_1}=\sqrt{\dfrac{\rho_1}{\rho_2}}\\\\\dfrac{d_2}{d_1}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2.65\times 10^{-8}}{1.72\times 10^{-8}}}\\\\=1.24

So, the required ratio of the diameter of Aluminum to Copper wire is 1.24.

8. A car initially has 100 J of total energy. After driving down the road, the car's
sveta [45]

The work done on the car is -20 J.

Work done on the car is negative, meaning that the car actually does work on the external system.

<h3>Energy and law of conservation of energy</h3>
  • Energy is the ability to do work
  • the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy in a system is conserved

From the law of conservation of energy, the initial energy of the car before it moves down the road remains constant or unchanged.

  • Initial energy = 100 J
  • Initial energy = Final energy - work done on car
  • Final Energy = Work done on car + initial energy

80J = Work done on car + 100 J

Work done on car = 80 - 100J

Work done on car = -20 J

Hence, the work done on the car is -20 J

Work done on car is negative.

Since work done on the car is negative, it means that the car actually does work on the external system. Hence, the decrease in the energy of the car.

What is the net charge of a metal ball if there are 21,749 extra electrons in it?
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Q=3.47\times 10^{-15}\ C

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of extra electrons, n = 21749

We need to find the net charge on the metal ball. Let Q is the net charge.

We know that the charge on an electron is q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

To find the net charge if there are n number of extra electrons is :

Q = n × q

Q=21749\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

Q=3.47\times 10^{-15}\ C

So, the net charge on the metal ball is 3.47\times 10^{-15}\ C. Hence, this is the required solution.

How does increasing energy affect the amplitude of a wave?​
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The amount of energy carried by a wave is related to the amplitude of the wave

Explanation:

A high energy wave is characterized by a high amplitude; a low energy wave is characterized by a low amplitude.  The energy imparted to a pulse will only affect the amplitude of that pulse.

Hope this helped!!!

You drop a small ball, and then a second small ball. When you drop the second ball, the distance between them is 3 cm. What stat
Alja [10]

Answer:

c) The distance between the balls increases.

Explanation:

If you drop the balls at the same time, regardless of their masses they accelerate equally, since they will be in free fall.

However, if you drop one of the balls earlier, then that ball will gain velocity, whereas the second ball has zero initial velocity. At the time the second ball is dropped, both balls have the same acceleration but different initial velocities.

According to the below kinematics equation:

x = v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

The initial velocity of the first ball will make the difference, and the first ball will travel a greater distance than the second ball. Hence, their distance increases.
