A rear window defroster consists of a long, flat wire bonded to the inside surface of the window. When current passes through th

e wire, it heats up and melts ice and snow on the window. For one window the wire has a total length of 12.2 m, a width of 1.8 mm, and a thickness of 0.11 mm. The wire is connected to the car's 12.0 V battery and draws 7.5 A. What is the resistivity of the wire material?

Answer:

The answer is provided below.

Explanation:

Resistance calculated as voltage / current

R = V/I

= 12 / 7.5 = 1.6 ohms

R = pL/A

where p signifies resistivity

L = wire length, A = cross-sectional area

1.6 = p*12.2 / (1.6*10^-3*0.11*10^-3)

p = 2.3*10^-8 ohm - m

Thus, the resistivity of the material is 2.3*10^-8 ohm - m

Answer: 2.6*10^-8 Ωm

Explanation:

the length of the wire, l = 12.2 m

the width of the wire, w = 1.8 mm

the thickness of the wire, T = 0.11 mm

the potential difference of the battery, v = 12 V

the current in the battery, I = 7.5 A

Recall, Ohm’s law states, V = IR.

Hence, R = V/I

R = 12/7.5 = 1.6 Ω

Resistivity of a material is given by

ρ = RA/l

ρ = [1.6 * 1.8*10^-3 * 0.11*10^-3] / 12.2

ρ = (3.168*10^-7) / 12.2

ρ = 2.596*10^-8

Thus, the resistivity of the wire is 2.60*10^-8 Ωm

If the satellite was placed in an orbit three times farther away, about how long would it take to orbit the Earth once? Answer i
serg [3582]
Kepler's third law, referred to as the law of harmonies, is used to calculate the orbital period and radius of a planet based on the dimensions and periods of another planet. This relationship is directly proportional to the square of the period and inversely proportional to the cube of the distance. Therefore, when the distance is tripled ((3D)^3), the period should increase to the square root of 27 times 5.20 times the initial period,

How many electrons must be removed from a neutral, isolated conducting sphere to give it a positive charge of 8.0 x 10 8 C? [Q=n
inna [3103]

The new charge of the ball will amount to 8x10^8C after removing 5x10^27 electrons.

Explanation:

Initially, if the sphere is electrically neutral, its charge stands at 0C.

When an electron with a charge of (-1.6*10^-19 C) is taken away, we effectively add a positive charge, leading to:

1.6*10^-19 C as the sphere's new charge.

For a total of N electrons removed, the sphere's overall charge now becomes:

N*1.6*10^-19 C.

To calculate N when:

N*1.6*10^-19 C = 8.0x 10^8 C.

We find that N is: (8.0/1.6)x10^(8 + 19) = 5x10^27 electrons.

State two advantages of a lead-acid accumulator over a leclanche cell​
kicyunya [3294]

Respuesta:

Se pueden recargar.

Poseen una vida útil mayor.

Son reutilizables.

Explicación:

Las baterías de plomo-ácido y las pilas Leclanché son tipos de células electroquímicas.

Las pilas Leclanché son células primarias. Estas células producen reacciones químicas que generan corriente eléctrica de manera irreversible.

Por su parte, las baterías de plomo-ácido son células secundarias que permiten la reversibilidad de la corriente eléctrica generada.

Esto hace que las baterías de plomo-ácido sean reutilizables, con mayor durabilidad y un tiempo de vida más prolongado.
