Three wires of the same diameter are connected in turn between two points maintained at

a constant potential difference. Their resistivities and lengths are r and L (wire A), 1.2r

and 1.2L (wire B), and 0.9r and L (wire C).

a. How does the rate at which energy is transferred to thermal energy vary with the

resistance of the wire? In other words, does the dU/dt increase with increasing

resistance or does it decrease with increasing resistance? Remember, the potential

across each wire is the same. Explain.

b. Using your answer from part (a), rank the wires according to the rate at which

energy is transferred to thermal energy within them, greatest to least.

Beryl states that insulation with the smallest possible thermal conductivity is best to keep a house warm in winter, but worst for keeping a house cool in summer. sapphire insists the reverse is true: low thermal conductivity is good in the summer, but bad in the winter. which one, if either is correct? a. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in low heat transfer. b. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. d. sapphire, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. e. neither, because low heat transfer is desirable both in summer and in winter.

It's a snowy day and you're pulling a friend along a level road on a sled. you've both been taking physics, so she asks what you think the coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow is. you've been walking at a steady 1.5m/s, and the rope pulls up on the sled at a 32 ∘ angle. you estimate that the mass of the sled, with your friend on it, is 65 kg and that you're pulling with a force of 80 n .
