Resistance per 1000 feet for gauge 14 wire is given as

R = 2.525 ohm

now if wire is of length 50 feet only then the resistance is given as

$R = \frac{2.525}{1000}\times 50$

$R = 0.126 ohm$

now if 11 A current flows through the wire then the voltage drop is given by ohm's law

$V = iR$

$V = 11 \times 0.126$

$V = 1.4 Volts$

so most appropriate answer in given options is

A. 1.8 Volts

A ball weighing 1 lb is attached to a string 2 feet long and is whirled in a vertical circle at a constant speed of 10 ft/sec.

fredd [130]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the ball, m = 1 lb

Length of the string, l = r = 2 ft

Speed of motion, v = 10 ft/s

(a) The net tension in the string when the ball is at the top of the circle is given by :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}-mg$

$F=m(\dfrac{v^2}{r}-g)$

$F=1\ lb\times (\dfrac{(10\ ft/s)^2}{2}-1\ lb\times 32\ ft/s^2)$

F = 18 N

(b) The net tension in the string when the ball is at the bottom of the circle is given by :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}+mg$

$F=m(\dfrac{v^2}{r}+g)$

$F=1\ lb\times (\dfrac{(10\ ft/s)^2}{2}+1\ lb\times 32\ ft/s^2)$

F = 82 N

(c) Let h is the height where the ball at certain time from the top. So,

$T=mg(\dfrac{r-h}{r})+\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$T=\dfrac{m}{r}(g(r-h)+v^2)$

Since, $v^2=u^2-2gh$

$T=\dfrac{m}{r}(u^2-3gh+gr)$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Suppose you wanted to hold up an electron against the force of gravity by the attraction of a fixed proton some distance above i

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The value is $r = 5.077 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The Coulomb constant is $k = 9.0 *10^{9} \ N\cdot m^2 /C^2$

The charge on the electron/proton is $e = 1.6*10^{-19} \ C$

The mass of proton $m_{proton} = 1.67*10^{-27} \ kg$

The mass of electron is $m_{electron } = 9.11 *10^{-31} \ kg$

Generally for the electron to be held up by the force gravity

Then

Electric force on the electron = The gravitational Force

i.e

$m_{electron} * g = \frac{ k * e^2 }{r^2 }$

$\frac{9*10^9 * (1.60 *10^{-19})^2 }{r^2 } = 9.11 *10^{-31 } * 9.81$

$r = \sqrt{25.78}$

$r = 5.077 \ m$

Consider a system consisting of an ideal gas confined within a container, one wall of which is a movable piston. Energy can be a

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

The movable piston

Explanation:

Work is said to be done when a distance is been covered by a force . In this case kinetic energy will be change by an equal amount into work done.

Pushing the piston with a known mass of (m) and an accelarating rate from rest of ( a) to cover a known distance of (d).The idea of work done is been achieved and can be mathematically represented by:

Work done = Force x distance (d)
Force = mass (m) x acceleration (a)

Rotational dynamics about a fixed axis: A person pushes on a small doorknob with a force of 5.00 N perpendicular to the surface

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

I = 2 kgm^2

Explanation:

In order to calculate the moment of inertia of the door, about the hinges, you use the following formula:

$\tau=I\alpha$ (1)

I: moment of inertia of the door

α: angular acceleration of the door = 2.00 rad/s^2

τ: torque exerted on the door

You can calculate the torque by using the information about the Force exerted on the door, and the distance to the hinges. You use the following formula:

$\tau=Fd$ (2)

F: force = 5.00 N

d: distance to the hinges = 0.800 m

You replace the equation (2) into the equation (1), and you solve for α:

$Fd=I\alpha\\\\I=\frac{Fd}{\alpha}$

Finally, you replace the values of all parameters in the previous equation for I:

$I=\frac{(5.00N)(0.800m)}{2.00rad/s^2}=2kgm^2$

The moment of inertia of the door around the hinges is 2 kgm^2
