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 small rock is launched straight upward from the surface of a planet with no atmosphere. The initial speed of the rock is twice

Scorpion4ik [409]

If gravitational effects from other objects are negligible, the speed of the rock at a very great distance from the planet will approach a value of $\sqrt{3} v_{e}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

To express velocity which is too far from the planet and escape velocity by using the energy conservation, we get

Rock’s initial velocity , $v_{i}=2 v_{e}$ . Here the radius is R, so find the escape velocity as follows,

$\frac{1}{2} m v_{e}^{2}-\frac{G M m}{R}=0$

$\frac{1}{2} m v_{e}^{2}=\frac{G M m}{R}$

$v_{e}^{2}=\frac{2 G M}{R}$

$v_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{R}}$

Where, M = Planet’s mass and G = constant.

From given conditions,

Surface potential energy can be expressed as, $U_{i}=-\frac{G M m}{R}$

R tend to infinity when far away from the planet, so $v_{f}=0$

Then, kinetic energy at initial would be,

$k_{i}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{i}^{2}=\frac{1}{2} m\left(2 v_{e}\right)^{2}$

Similarly, kinetic energy at final would be,

$k_{f}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{f}^{2}$

Here, $v_{f}=\text { final velocity }$

Now, adding potential and kinetic energies of initial and final and equating as below, find the final velocity as

$U_{i}+k_{i}=k_{f}+v_{f}$

$\frac{1}{2} m\left(2 v_{e}\right)^{2}-\frac{G M m}{R}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{f}^{2}+0$

$\frac{1}{2} m\left(2 v_{e}\right)^{2}-\frac{G M m}{R}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{f}^{2}$

'm' and $\frac{1}{2}$ as common on both sides, so gets cancelled, we get as

$4\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}-\frac{2 G M}{R}=v_{f}^{2}$

We know, $v_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{R}}$ , it can be wriiten as $\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}=\frac{2 G M}{R}$ , we get

$4\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}-\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}=v_{f}^{2}$

$v_{f}^{2}=3\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}$

Taking squares out, we get,

$v_{f}=\sqrt{3} v_{e}$

A composite wall separates combustion gases at 2400°C from a liquid coolant at 100°C, with gas and liquid-side convection coeffi

evablogger [386]

Answer:

$\text{heat loss} = 24864.05 \ W/m^2$

Explanation:

If

$T_1$ , $T_2$ are temperatures of gasses and liquid in Kelvins,

$t_1$ and $t_2$ are thicknesses of gas layer and steel slab in meters,
$h_1$ , $h_2$ are convection coefficients gas and liquid in $W/m^2 \cdot K$ ,
$R_c$ is the contact resistance in $m^2 \cdot K/W$ ,

and $k_1, k_2$ are thermal conductivities of gas and steel in $W/m \cdot K$ ,

then: part(a):

$\text{heat loss } = \frac{T_1 - T_2} { \frac{1}{h_1} + \frac{t_1}{t_2} + R_c + \frac{t_2}{k_2} + \frac{1}{h_2}}$

using known values:

$\text {heat loss} = 2486.05 W/m^2$

part(b): Using the rate equation :

$\text {heat loss} = h_1 (T_1 - T_{s1})$

the surface temperature $T_{s1} = 1678.438 \ K$

and $T_{c1} = T_{s1} - \frac {t_1 (\text{heat loss})}{k_1} = 1664.560 \ K$

Similarly

$T_{c2} = T_{c1} - R_c (\text{heat loss}) = 421.357 \ K$

$T_{s2} = T_{c2} - \frac {t_2 (\text{heat loss})}{ k_2} = 397.864 \ K$

A fly has a mass of 1 gram at rest. how fast would it have to be traveling to have the mass of a large suv, which is about 3000

Zigmanuir [339]

We solve this using special relativity. Special relativity actually places the relativistic mass to be the rest mass factored by a constant "gamma". The gamma is equal to 1/sqrt (1 - (v/c)^2). <span>

We want a ratio of 3000000 to 1, or 3 million to 1.

</span>

<span>Therefore:
3E6 = 1/sqrt (1 - (v/c)^2)
1 - (v/c)^2 = (0.000000333)^2
0.99999999999999 = (v/c)^2
0.99999999999999 = v/c
<span>v= 99.999999999999% of the speed of light ~ speed of light
<span>v = 3 x 10^8 m/s</span></span></span>
