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

Physics

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.

The brief wave of positive electrical charge that sweeps down the axon is _____.
kobusy [5.1K]
I believe Action potential is the brief wave of positive charge that sweeps down the axon. Axon is part of the neuron that conducts impulses from the dendrites towards the cell body along the neuron. The action potential is brief since the sodium channels can only stay open for a very brief amount of time. As it travels along the neuron there is a change in polarity across the membrane of the axon .

What is the name of the particle found in the shell
elena-s [515]
If you’re talking about atoms, I hope this helps
Atoms consist of three basic particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons. The nucleus (center) of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no charge). The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged)

Water flows through a horizontal nozzle in steady flow at the rate of 10m3/s. The inlet and outlet diameters are d1 = 0.5m and d2
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

P₁ = 2.215 10⁷ Pa, F₁ = 4.3 106 N,

Explanation:

This problem of fluid mechanics let's start with the continuity equation to find the speed of water output

        Q = A v

        v = Q / A

The area of ​​a circle is

       A = π r² = π d² / 4

Let's look at the speeds at each point

       v₁ = Q / A₁ = Q 4 /π d₁²

       v₁ = 10 4 /π 0.5²

       v₁ = 50.93 m / s

       v₂ = Q / A₂

       v₂ = 10 4 /π 0.25²

       v₂ = 203.72 m / s

Now we can use Bernoulli's equation in the colon

       P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρ g y₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

Since the tube is horizontal y₁ = y₂. The output pressure is P₂ = Patm = 1.013 10⁵ Pa, let's clear

       P₁ = P2 + ½ rho (v₂² - v₁²)

      P₁ = 1.013 10⁵ + ½ 1000 (203.72² - 50.93²)

      P₁ = 1.013 10⁵ + 2.205 10⁷

      P₁ = 2.215 10⁷ Pa

la definicion de presion es

      P₁ = F₁/A₁

     F₁ = P₁ A₁

     F₁ = 2.215 10⁷ pi d₁²/4

     F₁ = 2.215 10⁷ pi 0.5²/4

     F₁ = 4.3 106 N
