Answer:

450 pm

Explanation:

The electron is held in orbit by an electric force, this works as the centripetal force. The equation for the centripetal acceleration is:

a = v^2 / r

The equation for the electric force is:

F = q1 * q2 / (4 * π * e0 * r^2)

Where

q1, q2: the electric charges, the charge of the electron is -1.6*10^-19 C

e0: electric constant (8.85*10^-12 F/m)

If we divide this force by the mass of the electron we get the acceleration

me = 9.1*10^-31 kg

a = q1 * q2 / (4 * π * e0 * me * r^2)

v^2 / r = q1 * q2 / (4 * π * e0 * me * r^2)

We can simplify r

v^2 = q1 * q2 / (4 * π * e0 * me * r)

Rearranging:

r = q1 * q2 / (4 * π * e0 * me * v^2)

r = 1.6*10^-19 * 1.6*10^-19 / (4 * π * 8.85*10^-12 * 9.1*10^-31 * (7.5*10^5)^2) = 4.5*10^-10 m = 450 pm

Waves that move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling are called

Nikolay [14]

1. a. longitudinal waves.

There are two types of waves:

- Transverse waves: in transverse waves, the oscillations of the wave occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave

- Longitudinal waves: in longitudinal waves, the oscillations of the waves occur parallel to the direction in which the waves are travelling.

So, these types of waves are called longitudinal waves.

2. d. a medium

There are two types of waves:

- Electromagnetic waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of electric and magnetic field, and they can travel both in a medium and also in a vacuum (they do not need a medium to propagate)

- Mechanical waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of the particles in a medium, so they need a medium to propagate - therefore, the correct choice is d. a medium

3. a. AM/FM radio

Analogue signals consist of continuous signals, which vary in a continuous range of values. On the contrary, digital signals consist of discrete signals, which can assume only some discrete values. For AM and FM radios, signals are transmitted by using analogue signals.

Bricks and insulation are used to construct the walls of a house. The

ira [324]

Answer:

$\dot Q=350.438\ W$

Explanation:

Given:

<u>the thermal resistance in the form of </u>

$R_1=\frac{x_1}{k_1} =0.095\ m^2.^{\circ}C.W^{-1}$

$R_2=\frac{x_2}{k_2} =0.704\ m^2.^{\circ}C.W^{-1}$

where:

$x_1\ \&\ x_2$ are the thickness of the respective bricks

$k_1\ \&\ k_2$ are the respective coefficient of conductivity

temperature inside the house, $T_h=24\ ^{\circ}C$

temperature outside the house, $\ T_c=10^{\circ}C$

area of the wall, $A=20\ m^2$

Since the bricks and insulation are used to construct a wall then they must be used in series for better shielding.

<u>Using Fourier's law:</u>

$\dot Q=k.A.\frac{dT}{x}$

$\dot Q={dT}\div {\frac{x}{k.A} }$

in series the resistances get add up

$\dot Q=dT\div (\frac{x_1}{k_1.A}+\frac{x_2}{k_2.A} )$

$\dot Q=(24-10)\div (\frac{0.095 }{20}+ \frac{0.704 }{20} )$

$\dot Q=350.438\ W$

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

or

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

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.
