Answer:

<em>0.45 mm</em>

Explanation:

The complete question is

a certain fuse "blows" if the current in it exceeds 1.0 A, at which instant the fuse melts with a current density of 620 A/ cm^2. What is the diameter of the wire in the fuse?

A) 0.45 mm

B) 0.63 mm

C.) 0.68 mm

D) 0.91 mm

Current in the fuse is 1.0 A

Current density of the fuse when it melts is 620 A/cm^2

Area of the wire in the fuse = I/ρ

Where I is the current through the fuse

ρ is the current density of the fuse

Area = 1/620 = 1.613 x 10^-3 cm^2

We know that 10000 cm^2 = 1 m^2, therefore,

1.613 x 10^-3 cm^2 = 1.613 x 10^-7 m^2

Recall that this area of this wire is gotten as

A = $\frac{\pi d^{2} }{4}$

where d is the diameter of the wire

1.613 x 10^-7 = $\frac{3.142* d^{2} }{4}$

6.448 x 10^-7 = 3.142 x $d^{2}$

$d^{2}$ = $\sqrt{ 2.05*10^-7}$

d = 4.5 x 10^-4 m = <em>0.45 mm</em>

In which medium does light travel faster: one with a critical angle of 27.0° or one with a critical angle of 32.0°? Explain. (Fo

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Among those two medium, light would travel faster in the one with a reflection angle of $32^{\circ}$ (when light enters from the air.)

Explanation:

Let $v_{1}$ denote the speed of light in the first medium. Let $v_{\text{air}}$ denote the speed of light in the air. Assume that the light entered the boundary at an angle of $\theta_{1}$ to the normal and exited with an angle of $\theta_{\text{air}}$ . By Snell's Law, the sine of $\theta_{1}\!$ and $\theta_{\text{air}}\!$ would be proportional to the speed of light in the corresponding medium. In other words:

$\displaystyle \frac{v_{1}}{v_{\text{air}}} = \frac{\sin(\theta_{1})}{\sin(\theta_{\text{air}})}$ .

When light enters a boundary at the critical angle $\theta_{c}$ , total internal reflection would happen. It would appear as if the angle of refraction is now $90^{\circ}$ . (in this case, $\theta_{\text{air}} = 90^{\circ}$ .)

Substitute this value into the Snell's Law equation:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{v_{1}}{v_{\text{air}}} &= \frac{\sin(\theta_{1})}{\sin(\theta_{\text{air}})} \\ &= \frac{\sin(\theta_{c})}{\sin(90^{\circ})} \\ &= \sin(\theta_{c})\end{aligned}$ .

Rearrange to obtain an expression for the speed of light in the first medium:

$v_{1} = v_{\text{air}} \cdot \sin(\theta_{1})$ .

The speed of light in a medium (with the speed of light slower than that in the air) would be proportional to the critical angle at the boundary between this medium and the air.

For $0 < \theta < 90^{\circ}$ , $\sin(\theta)$ is monotonically increasing with respect to $\theta$ . In other words, for $\!\theta$ in that range, the value of $\sin(\theta)\!$ increases as the value of $\theta\!$ increases.

Therefore, compared to the medium in this question with $\theta_{c} = 27^{\circ}$ , the medium with the larger critical angle $\theta_{c} = 32^{\circ}$ would have a larger $\sin(\theta_{c})$ . such that light would travel faster in that medium.

Houston, Texas,

U.S.A.

3rd May, 2021.

The Principal,

Carnegie Vanguard High School,

Houston, Texas,

U.S.A.

Dear Sir,

APPRECIATION FOR THE ADMISSION OFFER IN YOUR SCHOOL

I humbly write this letter to express my sincere appreciation for the offer of admission in your highly esteemed institution of learning. The admission letter states that I was admitted to pursue a programme in Computer Science and this is a source of great delight for me. The opportunity is a unique one because I stand a great chance of acquiring deeper knowledge of programming software that will prove invaluable to me in my future career.

Over the years, I have been particularly thrilled with all the inventions that have been made possible with information technology and programming of many useful software. These inventions have made life a lot easier, hence my interest in getting the required knowledge that will enable me to contribute my quota to the society.

This programme will also afford me the opportunity to relate with seasoned professionals in the field of Information Technology. When in contact with these professionals, I hope to ask them several questions on programming, the technicalities involved in it, and what is obtainable in the real-world scenario. Armed with these pieces of information, I believe that the programme will shape me to be an excellent professional that will be useful to the society.

Once again, thank you for this very special opportunity. I hope to fully maximize the privilege.

Yours Sincerely,

Jessica Liam.

At a certain instant, a particle is moving in the direction with momentum 18 kg·m/s. During the next 0.5 s, a constant force &lt

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

24.325 kg m/s

Explanation:

Initial momentum, pi = 18 kg m/s

F = < -4, 12, 0>

t = 0.5 s

Let the final momentum is pf.

The magnitude of force is

$F=\sqrt{(-4)^{2}+12^{2}+0^{2}}=12.65 N$

According to the Newton's second law, the rate of change of momentum is equal to the force.

$F = \frac{p_{f}-p_{1}}{t}$

$12.65= \frac{p_{f}-18}}{0.5}$

pf - 18 = 6.325

pf = 24.325 kg m/s

Thus, the momentum of body after 0.5 s is 24.325 kg m/s.
