Answer:

A quantity that does not depend on the direction is called a scalar quantity. Vector quantities have two characteristics, a magnitude, and a direction. Scalar quantities have only a magnitude. When comparing two vector quantities of the same type, you have to compare both the magnitude and the direction.

Scalar quantities only have magnitude (size). Scalar quantities include distance...

A quantity that is specified by both size and direction is a vector. Displacement includes both size and direction and is an example of a vector. However, distance is a physical quantity that does not include a direction and isn't a vector.

Explanation:

hope this helps...

Using 0.500 g of nichrome, you are asked to fabricate a wire with uniform cross-section. The resistance of the wire is 0.673 Ω.
mojhsa [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of Nichrome, m = 0.5 g

The resistance of the wire, R = 0.673 ohms

Resistivity of the nichrome wire, \rho=10^{-6}\ \Omega -m

Density, d=8.31\times 10^3\ kg/m^3

(A) The length of the wire is given by using the definition of resistance as :

Volume,

V=A\times l\\\\A=\dfrac{V}{l}\\\\Since, V=\dfrac{m}{d}\\\\V=\dfrac{m}{d}\\\\V=\dfrac{0.5\times 10^{-3}}{8.31\times 10^3}\\\\V=6.01\times 10^{-8}\ m^3

Area,

A=\dfrac{V}{l}\\\\A=\dfrac{6.01\times 10^{-8}}{l}....(1)

R=\rho \dfrac{l}{A}\\\\l=\dfrac{RA}{\rho}\\\\l=\dfrac{0.673\times 6.01\times 10^{-8}}{l\times 10^{-6}}\\\\l=0.201\ m

(b)  Equation (1) becomes :

A=\dfrac{6.01\times 10^{-8}}{l}\\\\A=\dfrac{6.01\times 10^{-8}}{0.201}\\\\\pi r^2=3\times 10^{-7}\\\\r=\sqrt{\dfrac{3\times 10^{-7}}{\pi}} \\\\r=3.09\times 10^{-4}\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.
