Answer:

Explanation:

Friction is defined as a force which acts at the surface of separation between two objects in contact and tends to oppose motion of one over the other.

While kinetic friction is the force that must be overcome so that a body can move with uniform speed over another.

Hence let consider one of the laws of friction which states that: '' Frictional force is independent of the area of the surfaces in contact.''

The value did not vary with area. This is because when calculating the kinetic fiction, the total contact area is not relevant and only the total weight of the system as well of as the block is put into consideration.

Many industries are powered via distant power stations. Calculate the current flowing through a 7,300m long 10. copper power lin

Oliga [24]

Answer:

Current, I = 1000 A

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the copper wire, l = 7300 m

Resistance of copper line, R = 10 ohms

Magnetic field, B = 0.1 T

$\mu_o=4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ T-m/A$

Resistivity, $\rho=1.72\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m$

We need to find the current flowing the copper wire. Firstly, we need to find the radius of he power line using physical dimensions as :

$R=\rho \dfrac{l}{A}$

$R=\rho \dfrac{l}{\pi r^2}$

$r=\sqrt{\dfrac{\rho l}{R\pi}}$

$r=\sqrt{\dfrac{1.72\times 10^{-8}\times 7300}{10\pi}}$

r = 0.00199 m

$r=1.99\times 10^{-3}\ m=2\times 10^{-3}\ m$

The magnetic field on a current carrying wire is given by :

$B=\dfrac{\mu_o I}{2\pi r}$

$I=\dfrac{2\pi rB}{\mu_o}$

$I=\dfrac{2\pi \times 0.1\times 2\times 10^{-3}}{4\pi \times 10^{-7}}$

I = 1000 A

So, the current of 1000 A is flowing through the copper wire. Hence, this is the required solution.

A car drives 16 miles south and then 12 miles west. What is the magnitude of the car’s displacement? 4 miles 16 miles 20 miles 2

Ostrovityanka [42]

For this case, what we can do is use the Pythagorean theorem to find the magnitude of the displacement of the car.
We have then
$d ^ 2 = 16 ^ 2 + 12 ^ 2
$
From here, we clear the value of d.
We have then:
$d = \sqrt{16 ^ 2 + 12 ^ 2} 
$
Rewriting:
$d = \sqrt{256 + 144}$
$d = \sqrt{400}$
$d = 20 miles
$
Answer:
The magnitude of the car's displacement is:
d = 20 miles

a pitcher threw a baseball straight up at 35.8 meters per second. what is the ball's velocity after 2.50 seconds?

Andrei [34K]

Ok the velocity of an object in free fall is given by the equation :

v=v0-gt, where v0 is the original velocity, g is the gravitational constant (9.8 m/s^2) and t is the time.

so, we substitute values into this equation. v=35.8-9.8*2.5; v=11.3 m/s
