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

Physics

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.

The relationship between an object's acceleration and its mass
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Newton's second law

Explanation:

The relationship between mass and acceleration is described in Newton's Second Law of Motion. His Second Law states that the more mass an object has, more force is necessary for it to accelerate.

Difference between kilogram and kilometre in points​
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Kilogram(kg) is the SI unit for mass while kilometre(km) is a unit for length. They are both similar in that they are 10^3 of a unit, thus kilo. As kilogram represents mass, it is a measure of how much matter is present in an object. While kilometre is a measure of distance/how long or short an object is.

How can you predict the action of the element
patriot [66]
Stark contrast to paths on energy surfaces or even mechanistic reactions, rule-based and inductive computational approaches to reaction prediction mostly consider only overall transformations. Overall transformations are general molecular graph rearrangements reflecting only the net change of several successive mechanistic reactions. For example, Figure 1 shows the overall transformation of an alkene interacting with hydrobromic acid to yield the alkyl bromide along with the two elementary reactions which compose the transformation.
