A copper wire 225m long must experience a voltage drop of less than 2.0v when a current of 3.5 a passes through it. compute the

minimum diameter of the wire in millimeters (mm) if the electrical conductivity of copper is 60.0 x106 (ohm-m)-1 . answer should be in millimetres and carried out 2 decimal places (x.xx mm)

Answer:

V = I * R

R = 2 / 3.5 = .571 ohms     maximum resistance of wire

R = ρ L / A  where R is proportional to L and inversely proportional to A

A = ρ L / R     minimum area of wire

ρ = 1 / μ  =     1.67E-8 ohm-m      resistivity inverse of conductivity

A = 1.67E-8 ohm-m * 225 m / .571 ohm = 6.68E-6 m^2

A = 6.68 mm^2       since 1 mm^2 = 10-6 m^2   or 1 mm = 10-3 m

A = Π r^2 = 6.68 mm^2

r = (6.68 / 3.14)^1/2 mm = 2.13 mm      radius of wire

d = 2 * r = 4.26 mm

What usually happens to the host’s DNA during the lytic cycle?
VARVARA [1.3K]
The lytic cycle is one of the two phases of reproduction in viruses. In this part of reproduction, the viral RNA joins with the DNA of the host and copies itself into the host's DNA pattern. This will cause the host cells to reproduce the viral cells instead of the original host cells. Overtime as the viral cells continue to reproduce they will overload and eventually cause the host cell to explode. When this occurs, then the produced viruses will continue on to infect the next cell.

zmey [24]

Answer:

Humans add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere when they burn fuel in factories and other biomass sources. Humans take in carbon from the food they eat from the soil and return it back to the soil through waste products and decomposition.

Explanation:

When humans add carbon into the atmosphere the main contributors are burning of substances like fuels and biomass and from eating.

A car is traveling at 26.0 m/s when the driver suddenly applies the brakes, causing the car to slow down with constant accelerat
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

a = -2.82 m/s²

v = 18.4 m/s

Explanation:

Initial velocity, u = 26.0 m/s

Final velocity, v = 0 m/s

Distance travelled, s = 120m

Using

v² = u² + 2as

0 = 26² + 2(120)a

a= -2.82 m/s²

Velocity of the car when it was 60.0m past the point where the brakes were applied:

u = 26.0 m/s

a = -2.82 m/s²

s = 60m

Using

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 26² + 2(-2.82)(60)

v² = 337.6

v = 18.4 m/s
