A copper wire has radius 0.800 mm and carries current I at 20.0°C. A silver wire with radius 0.500 mm carries the same current a

nd is also at 20.0°C. Let Ecu be the electric field in the copper wire and Eag be the electric field in the silver wire. Use the resistivities at room temperature for copper. PCu = 1.72 x 10^-8.m and for silver PAE= 1.47 x 10^-8.m. What is the ratio Ecu/Eng?

Answer:

Ecu/Eag = 0.46

Explanation:

E = PI/A

Ecu = Pcu × I/A

Pcu = 1.72×10^-8 ohm-meter

r = 0.8 mm = 0.8/1000 = 8×10^-4 m

A = πr^2 = π×(8×10^-4)^2 = 6.4×10^-7π

Ecu = 1.72×10^-8I/6.4×10^-7π = 0.026875I/1

Eag = Pag × I/A

Pag = 1.47×10^-8 ohm-meter

r = 0.5 mm = 0.5/1000 = 5×10^-4 m

A = πr^2 = π × (5×10^-4)^2 = 2.5×10^-7π

Eag = 1.47×10^-8I/2.5×10^-7π = 0.0588I/π

Ecu/Eag = 0.026875I/π × π/0.0588I = 0.46

Which of the following quantities provide enough information to calculate the tension in a string of mass per unit length μ that

Bad White [126]

Answer:

A. the wave speed v and Wavelength

Explanation:

Given that

Mass density per unit length=μ

Frequency = f

The velocity V given as

$\mu=\dfrac{T}{V^2}\ kg/m$

$V=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}$

T=Tension

V=Velocity

V= f λ

λ=Wavelength

Therefore to find the tension ,only wavelength and speed is required.

The answer is A.

The data table below shows the distribution of the energies of a pendulum 0.60 s into its motion. What is the missing value?

ohaa [14]

The total energy (also called mechanical energy) is the sum of the kinetic energy and potential energy:
$TE = KE + PE$
For this pendulum, we see that at t=0.60 s the total energy is TE=0.918 J while the potential energy is 0.054 J, so the kinetic energy (the missing value in the table) is
$KE=TE-PE=0.918 J - 0.054 J =0.864 J$

A 2.0 kg block on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a spring whose force constant is 590 N/m. The block is pulled

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The value is $v = -0.04 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the block is $m = 2.0 \ kg$

The force constant of the spring is $k = 590 \ N/m$

The amplitude is $A = + 0.080$

The time consider is $t = 0.10 \ s$

Generally the angular velocity of this block is mathematically represented as

$w = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

=> $w = \sqrt{\frac{590}{2} }$

=> $w = 17.18 \ rad/s$

Given that the block undergoes simple harmonic motion the velocity is mathematically represented as

$v = -A w sin (w* t )$

=> $v = -0.080 * 17.18 sin (17.18* 0.10 )$

=> $v = -0.04 \ m/s$

A block moves at 5 m/s in the positive x direction and hits an identical block, initially at rest. A small amount of gunpowder h

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Speed of 1.83 m/s and 6.83 m/s

Explanation:

From the principle of conservation of momentum

$mv_o=m(v_1 + v_2)$ where m is the mass, $v_o$ is the initial speed before impact, $v_1$ and $v_2$ are velocity of the impacting object after collision and velocity after impact of the originally constant object

$5m=m(v_1 +v_2)$

Therefore $v_1+v_2=5$

After collision, kinetic energy doubles hence

$2m*(0.5mv_o)=0.5m(v_1^{2}+v_2^{2})$

$2v_o^{2}=v_1^{2} + v_2^{2}$

Substituting 5 m/s for $v_o$ then

$2*(5^{2})= v_1^{2} + v_2^{2}$

$50= v_1^{2} + v_2^{2}$

Also, it’s known that $v_1+v_2=5$ hence $v_1=5-v_2$

$50=(5-v_2)^{2}+ v_2^{2}$

$50=25+v_2^{2}-10v_2+v_2^{2}$

$2v_2^{2}-10v_2-25=0$

Solving the equation using quadratic formula where a=2, b=-10 and c=-25 then $v_2=6.83 m/s$

Substituting, $v_1=-1.83 m/s$

Therefore, the blocks move at a speed of 1.83 m/s and 6.83 m/s
