A 230-km-long high-voltage transmission line 2.0 cm in diameter carries a steady current of 1,100 A. If the conductor is copper

with a free charge density of 8.5 1028 electrons per cubic meter, how many years does it take one electron to travel the full length of the cable? (Use 3.156 107 for the number of seconds in a year.)

Answer:

28.23 years

Explanation:

It takes 28.23 years to take one electron to travel the full length of the cable.

3.156 107 = number of seconds in a year.

230000 / (2.58 x 10^-4) = 8.91 x 10^8 second.

Answer:

28.23 years

Explanation:

I = 1100 A

L = 230 km = 230, 000 m

diameter = 2 cm

radius, r = 1 cm = 0.01 m

Area, A = 3.14 x 0.01 x 0.01 = 3.14 x 10^-4 m^2

n = 8.5 x 10^28 per cubic metre

Use the relation

I = n e A vd

vd = I / n e A

vd = 1100 / (8.5 x 10^28 x 1.6 x 10^-19 x 3.14 x 10^-4)

vd = 2.58 x 10^-4 m/s

Let time taken is t.

Distance = velocity x time

t = distance / velocity = L / vd

t = 230000 / (2.58 x 10^-4) = 8.91 x 10^8 second

t = 28.23 years

The two masses in the Atwood's machine shown in the figure are initially at rest at the same height. After they are released, th
Inga [223]

According to the description given in the photo, the attached figure represents the problem graphically for the Atwood machine.

To solve this problem we must apply the concept related to the conservation of energy theorem.

PART A ) For energy conservation the initial kinetic and potential energy will be the same as the final kinetic and potential energy, so

E_i = E_f

0 = \frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_f^2-m_2gh+m_1gh

v_f = \sqrt{2gh(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})}

PART B) Replacing the values given as,

h= 1.7m\\m_1 = 3.5kg\\m_2 = 4.3kg \\g = 9.8m/s^2 \\

v_f = \sqrt{2gh(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})}

v_f = \sqrt{2(9.8)(1.7)(\frac{4.3-3.5}{3.5+4.3})}

v_f = 1.8486m/s

Therefore the speed of the masses would be 1.8486m/s

Lonnie pitches a baseball of mass 0.20 kg. The ball arrives at home plate with a speed of 40 m/s and is batted straight back to
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

B) 20N.s is the correct answer

Explanation:

The formula for the impulse is given as:

Impulse = change in momentum

Impulse = mass × change in speed

Impulse = m × ΔV

Given:

initial speed  = 40m/s

Final speed = -60 m/s (Since the the ball will now move in the opposite direction after hitting the bat, the speed is negative)

mass = 0.20 kg

Thus, we have

Impulse = 0.20 × (40m/s - (-60)m/s)

Impulse = 0.20 × 100 = 20 kg-m/s or 20 N.s

Consider two less-than-desirable options.
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The force would be the same in both cases - option C.

Explanation:

The change in momentum is known as an impulse. In the two cases under consideration, the change in momentum is the same, thus impulse for both cases is the same.

Impulse is the average force multiplied by time interval.

I = F(average)*ΔT. Where F(average) is the average force and ΔT is the time interval.

The average force in both cases is the same since the collision time is the same.

Thus option C is the correct answer.

Which term is undefined?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

The term which is considered as being undefined is referred to as a point and is therefore denoted as option A in this context.

<h3>What is a Point?</h3>

This is defined as as small round mark written on a plane which signifies the position or location of a substance. This can also be seen as a dot and is also used to separate a group of numbers such as in the case of decimals etc.

It is referred to as being undefined alongside a plane, line etc as a result of it only being explained using specific examples and descriptions unlike a segment which can be viewed and understood easily when working on the parameter.

This is therefore the reason why a point is undefined and the most appropriate choice.
