The advantages and disadvantages of using copper, steel and aluminium in electrical cables.

Physics
1 answer:
katrin [286]3 years ago
6 0
Advantages of copper cables are that copper is an extremely powerful conductor of electricity and much more stable over time. It can withstand higher temperatures than aluminum and is more resistant to damage. Disadvantages: Copper is more expensive and heavier and thus requires structural support. Advantages of aluminum cables are that it is less expensive, easier to work with and light weight and so does not need structural support when strung over long distance. Disadvantages: Aluminum is more susceptible to corrosion and requires periodic replacement. It needs much greater maintenance. Advantages of steel cables are that steel does not rust, is fairly cheap and readily available. It has a higher tensile strength too. Disadvantages: Steel cables are less ductile and are therefore more susceptible to fatigue.

Which part of the ear receives the signal from the eardrum?​
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Ossicles

Explanation:

Sound causes eardrums to vibrate. These vibrations are then passed on to the ossicles, which is made up of 3 small bones-- the malleus, incus, and stapes. The stapes are connected to the inner ear, specifically to the cochlea which transforms sound waves into electrical signals that are sent to the brain.

A stone is thrown at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal from the top edge of a cliff with an initial speed of 12 m/s. A
natta225 [31]

v = initial velocity of launch of the stone = 12 m/s

θ = angle of the velocity from the horizontal = 30

Consider the motion of the stone along the vertical direction taking upward direction as positive and down direction as negative.

v₀ = initial velocity along vertical direction = v Sinθ = 12 Sin30 = 6 m/s

a = acceleration of the stone = - 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel = 4.8 s

Y = vertical displacement of stone = vertical height of the cliff = ?

using the kinematics equation

Y = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

inserting the values

Y = 6 (4.8) + (0.5) (- 9.8) (4.8)²

Y = - 84.1 m

hence the height of the cliff comes out to be 84.1 m

What is the volume of a rock with a density of 3.00 g/cm3 and a mass of 600g?
Mademuasel [1]
The equation of D = m/V

Where D = density
m = mass
and V = volume

We are solving for V, so with the manipulation of variables we multiply V on both sides giving us 
V(D) = m 
now we divide D on both sides giving us
V = m/D 

We know our mass which is 600g and our density is 3.00 g/cm^3
so
V = 600g/3.00g/cm^3 = 200cm^3  or 200mL

a cubic centimeter (cm^3) is one of the units for volume. It's exactly like mL. 1 cm^3 = 1 mL
 
If you wish to change it to L, you'd have to convert.

Which statement about the minerals plagioclase feldspar, gypsum, biotite mica, and talc can best be inferred from the chart? (1)
madreJ [45]

Answer:

(4) The physical and chemical properties of these minerals determine how humans use them.

Explanation:

All the materials and the metals found on earth shows certain characteristics naturally or in their physical state. These physical characteristics can be their look, their structure, their color, strength, melting point, boiling point, density, etc.

And chemical properties of the metals are defined as those characteristics or features of the metals that it exhibits when these metals reacts chemically.

The physical properties as well as the chemical properties distinguishes each metal from each other. These properties determines how people use these metals in their life.
