there is insulation on the wire...........

Hi, \n\nStretching force is usually called tension. I hope that's what you're asking.\n\nMatt

I don't know the specific name for it, but, in telecommunications, there is a certain type of plastic used for insulating wires.  This insulation is known as self extinguishing, in that, as heat is applied to it and it gets to the point where it starts to try to burn, it releases some kind of gas that extinguishes the combustion that is beginning to take place.

The curve generated by the sagging cable you suggest is called a catenary, which is generated by a hyperbolic cosine function.  Perhaps you can find some help at the following sites:\n\nhttp://mathworld.wolfram.com/Catenary.html\n\nhttp://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Curves/Catenary.html\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catenary

The answer to this is actually pretty simple - and it applies to the Christmas lights, too.\n\nThe cable (or wire) that the signal passes through is formed of multiple strands of much finer conductor, twisted to form a (relatively) uniform outer surface to which the insulating jacket is bound.\n\nOver time, you'll tend to pull the cord into longer and longer lengths ... with one of two results. Either the twist gets tighter (and the cord appears slightly thinner), or the twist gets looser.\n\nIn either instance, the "memory" of the wire will want to try and return it to its initial configuration (including tightness of twist). Once the stress is off the conductor, back it goes! And probably snarls itself in the occurrence, because you've tried to pack it away in the EXTENDED configuration.\n\nKnotting is another phenomenon entirely. In this case, relative motion of the gathered conductor bundle tends to "slip" one loop against the next. In the extreme, what used to be the outside loop becomes the inside loop ... and you have a potential knot. Unknowingly, you reach in and grab the "new" inside loop and pull ... thereby completing the slippage and you now definitely have a knot!

There isn't any longest one.\nThe atom carbon can form chains which means that you can always make a carbon chain longer by hooking up another C atom.\nMolecules like DNA have thousands of atoms.

In the sense of a motor the terminology is from the the early days when wire fibers were used then later found that a brush made of carbon can deliver the power without wearing out the commutator. The carbon brush being of softer material would easily be replaced when worn down.\n\ncheck out the following link:

I am sure there is, that's why we had to learn the geometry and algebra.  I am sorry I don't know what it is.  I would bet it has to do with the weight of the load depends on the type of cable you would use and amount of cable depends on the volume of the load...see?

When you say "conductors" are you talking about electrical conductors or thermal conductors?\n\nIf you are talking about electrical conductors, every conductive material has resistance.  Resistance causes the voltage to drop when current passes through.  The product of the two (voltage * current = wattage) is dissipated as heat.  \n\nAmount of heat rise is often the reason for the maximum allowable current for the wire.  (the other is the voltage drop itself)

research is currently being carried out on this area. materials which work better at room temperature and have similar properties to a semi conductor are already being developed. giveit another 25-30 years we may have some. who knows.....

You need to run LOTS of current through a coiled wire. For a strong one I don't know, but you can make one big enough to deflect a compass like this:\n\nWind some stripped copper wire around a pencil to make a coil. Then connect a D cell battery to the wire. The important thing is that voltage doesn't matter, the stronger the current in the wire, the more powerful the wire.

Strain is defined as the fractional change in length under an applied force.  Since at the instant the other wire is cut (i.e., at t=0), the remaining wire remains stationary (until it starts to stretch at a later time), the strain on that wire is 0 becuase it hasn't changed length yet at t=0..\n\nThe answer is 0.

this question was on this yr's midyear exam, ill give u a clue.\nyou need to seperate the forces acting on the wire into two types \n1) acting horizontally (the force to the left equals the force to the right)\n2)acting vertically (the force to the bottom {or the normal force = 20 *9.8} equals the force to the top)\n\nequate them both and you should get the answer
