The diameter of the wire is 18μm and the closest answer is option C.

The resistance of a wire is proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its area.

Given that a 4.0 m length of gold wire is connected to a 1.5 V battery, and a current of 4.0 mA flows through it. Then,

R = (ρL)/A

where

ρ = resistivity = 2.44 × 10-8 Ω·m

L = length

A = Area = $\pi ^{2}$ D/2

D = diameter of the wire

From Ohm's law, V = IR

make resistance R the subject of the formula

R = V/I

R = 1.5/4 x $10^{-3}$

R = 375 Ω

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

R = (ρL)/A

375 = (2.44 × $10^{-8}$ x 4)/A

A = (9.76 × $10^{-8}$ )/ 375

A = 2.603 x $10^{-10}$ $m^{2}$

but

A = $\pi (D/2)^{2}$

2.603 x $10^{-10}$ = $\pi (D/2)^{2}$

$\pi$ $D^{2}$ /4 = 2.603 x $10^{-10}$

$\pi$ $D^{2}$ = 1.04 x $10^{-9}$

$D^{2}$ = (1.04 x $10^{-9}$ )/ $\pi$

D = $\sqrt{3.3 * 10^{-10} }$

D = 1.8 x $10^{-5}$ m

D = 18 μm

Therefore, the diameter of the wire is 18μm and the closest answer is option C.

Answer from: kathiaflores1215

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of gold wire, l = 4 m

Voltage of battery, V = 1.5 V

Current, I = 4 mA

The resistivity of gold, $\rho=2.44\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m$

Resistance in terms of resistivity is given by :

$R=\dfrac{\rho l}{A}$

Also, V = IR

So,

$\dfrac{V}{I}=\dfrac{\rho l}{A}$

A is area of wire,

$\dfrac{V}{I}=\dfrac{\rho l}{\pi r^2}$ , r is radius, r = d/2 (diameter=d)

$\dfrac{V}{I}=\dfrac{\rho l}{\pi (d/2)^2}\\\\\dfrac{V}{I}=\dfrac{4\rho l}{\pi d^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\rho l I}{V\pi}} \\\\d=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\times 2.44\times 10^{-8}\times 4\times 4\times 10^{-3}}{1.5\times \pi}} \\\\d=18.2\ \mu m$

Out of four option, near option is (C) 17 μm.

see the picture for the vector

the magnitude of the vector by pythagorean theorem

r = √( (-10)^2 + (3)^2 ) = √109

magnitude = √109 units

the direction angle between vector and x-axis is

tan^(-1)(3/10) = 16.699

so the direction is approximately 16.7 degrees north of west

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice

c. a compressed spring

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice is the correct option.
