Answer:

<em>0.45 mm</em>

Explanation:

The complete question is

a certain fuse "blows" if the current in it exceeds 1.0 A, at which instant the fuse melts with a current density of 620 A/ cm^2. What is the diameter of the wire in the fuse?

A) 0.45 mm

B) 0.63 mm

C.) 0.68 mm

D) 0.91 mm

Current in the fuse is 1.0 A

Current density of the fuse when it melts is 620 A/cm^2

Area of the wire in the fuse = I/ρ

Where I is the current through the fuse

ρ is the current density of the fuse

Area = 1/620 = 1.613 x 10^-3 cm^2

We know that 10000 cm^2 = 1 m^2, therefore,

1.613 x 10^-3 cm^2 = 1.613 x 10^-7 m^2

Recall that this area of this wire is gotten as

A = \frac{\pi d^{2} }{4}

where d is the diameter of the wire

1.613 x 10^-7 = \frac{3.142* d^{2} }{4}

6.448 x 10^-7 = 3.142 x d^{2}

d^{2} =\sqrt{ 2.05*10^-7}

d = 4.5 x 10^-4 m = <em>0.45 mm</em>

A CCD has a greatest possible pixel value of 4095. what is the bit level of this CCD?
Shtirlitz [24]
<span>Bit level for a CCD (Charged coupled device) with a greatest possible pixel value of 4095:The relationship between the bit level and pixel value is given as:pixel value = 2^bit level.Most charged coupled devices (CCDs) have 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit levels.Using simple mathematics, we can see that 2^12 = 4096.Since the maximum number of pixels is 4095, the bit level is 12., i.e. the CCD has 12-bit level.</span>

You have a resistor and a capacitor of unknown values. First, you charge the capacitor and discharge it through the resistor. By
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The frequency is    f  = 0.221 \ Hz

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

     The  time taken for it to decay to half its original size is t  =  3.40 \ ms  =  3.40 *10^{-3} \ s

Let the voltage of the capacitor when it is fully charged be  V_o

Then the voltage of the capacitor at time t is  said to be  V  =  \frac{V_o}{2}

   Now  this voltage can be  mathematical represented as

      V  =  V_o  * e ^{-\frac{t}{RC} }

Where  RC  is the time constant

   substituting values  

    \frac{V_o}{2}  =  V_o  *  e ^{-\frac{3.40 *10^{-3}}{RC} }

    0.5  =  e^{-\frac{3.40 *10^{-3}}{RC} }

    - \frac{0.5}{RC}  =  ln (0.5)

     -\frac{0.5}{RC} =  -0.6931

     RC  =  0.721

Generally the cross-over frequency for a low pass filter is mathematically represented as

          f  = \frac{1}{2 \pi  * RC  }

substituting values  

           f  = \frac{1}{2*  3.142  * 0.72  }

           f  = 0.221 \ Hz

Moving water, like that of a river, carries sediment as it moves along its bed. The faster the water flows, the more sediment th
katovenus [111]

Correct option: A

An object remains at rest until a force acts on it.

As the water moves faster, it applies greater force on the sediment, which over comes the frictional forces between the bed and the sediment. So, when the river flows faster, more and larger sediment particles are carried away. When the flow slows down, the river couldn't apply enough force on the larger sediments which can overcome the frictional force between the sediment and the river bed. So, the net force on the heavier particles become zero. Hence, the heavier particles of the load will settle out.

A nonuniform, 80.0-g, meterstick balances when the support is placed at the 51.0-cm mark. At what location on the meterstick sho
Gnoma [55]

Answer:34 cm

Explanation:

Given

mass of meter stick m=80 gm

stick is balanced when support is placed at 51 cm mark

Let us take 5 gm tack is placed at x cm on meter stick so that balancing occurs at x=50 cm mark

balancing torque

80\times 10^{-3}(51-50)=5\times 10^{-3}(50-x)

80=5(50-x)

80=250-5x

5x=170

x=\frac{170}{5}

x=34 cm
