Suppose an electrical wire is replaced with one having every linear dimension doubled (i.e., the length and radius have twice th

eir original values). How is the resistance of the wire affected?

Answer:

The new resistance becomes half of the initial resistance.

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by :

R=\dfrac{\rho L}{A}

\rho = resistivity of material

L and A are linear dimension

If the electrical wire is replaced with one having every linear dimension doubled i.e. l' = 2l and r' = 2r

New resistance of wire is given by :

R'=\dfrac{\rho L'}{A'}

R'=\dfrac{\rho (2L)}{\pi (2r)^2}

R'=\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{\rho L}{A}

R'=\dfrac{1}{2}R

The new resistance becomes half of the initial resistance. Hence, this is the required solution.

How much does it cost to operate a 25-w soldering iron for 8.0 hours if energy costs 8.0¢/kwh?
melamori03 [73]
The power P is defined as the energy E per unit of time t:
P= \frac{E}{t}
In our problem, the power is P=25 W and the total time is t=8.0h, so we can calculate the total energy used during this time:
E=Pt=(25 W)(8.0 h)=200 Wh=0.2 kWh
The energy costs 8€ per each kwh, so we can write the following proportion:
8€: 1kwh = x:0.2 kWh
where x is the price corresponding to 0.2 kWh. Solving the proportion we find x:
x= \frac{(8€)(0.2 kWh)}{1kWh}=1.6€

Two speakers, A and B, produce identical sound waves. A listener is 3.2 m away from speaker A. The listener finds the lowest fre
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

  0.83 m or 5.57 m

Explanation:

Destructive interference will occur when the distances from the speakers differ by 1/2 wavelength.

The length of 1 cycle of 72.4 Hz is ...

  λ = v/f = (343 m/s)/(72.4 Hz) ≈ 4.738 m

So, the distance of the listener from speaker B is ...

  3.2 m ± (4.738 m)/2 = {0.83 m, 5.57 m} . . . either of these distances

_____

The location could be at additional multiples of 4.738 m, but we think not. The sound intensity drops off with the square of the distance from the speaker, so identical sound waves from the speakers will sound quite different at different distances from the speakers. For best interference, the distances need to be as close to the same as possible. That will be at 3.2 m and 5.57 m.

_____

<em>Comment on the speed of sound</em>

We don't know what speed you are to use for the speed of sound. We have used 343 m/s. Some sources use 340 m/s, which will give a result different by 2 or 3 cm.

For a particular reaction, the change in enthalpy is 51kJmole and the activation energy is 109kJmole. Which of the following cou
Ronch [10]

Answer

given,

change in enthalpy = 51 kJ/mole

change in activation energy = 109 kJ/mole

when a reaction is catalysed change in enthalpy between the product and the reactant does not change it remain constant.

where as activation energy of the product and the reactant decreases.

example:

ΔH = 51 kJ/mole

E_a= 83 kJ/mole

here activation energy decrease whereas change in enthalpy remains same.
