In order to produce a wave that travels along a string at a speed higher than 3 meters per second under the same conditions, the students would need to use string that has a linear density– greater than 8 grams per meter. between 8 grams per meter and 1 gram per meter. less than 1 gram per meter. greater than 1 gram per meter.

The heater element of a 120 v toaster is a 5.4 m length of nichrome wire, whose diameter is 0.48 mm. the resistivity of nichrome at the operating temperature of the toaster is 1.3 × 10-6 ω·m. the toaster is operated at a voltage of 120 v. (a) what is the power drawn by the toaster? (b) if the cost of electricity is 12 ¢ per kilowatt-hour, and it takes 2 minutes to toast bread, how much does it cost for toasted bread? (c) when the heater element is at room temperature, is the resistivity in the nichrome wire greater than, less than, or equal to it’s resistivity when at operating temperature? explain.
