Answer:

ΔV=0.484mV

Explanation:

The potential difference across the end of conductor that obeys Ohms law:

ΔV=IR

Where I is current

R is resistance

The resistance of a cylindrical conductor is related to its resistivity p,Length L and cross section area A

R=(pL)/A

Given data

Length L=3.87 cm =0.0387m

Diameter d=2.11 cm =0.0211 m

Current I=165 A

Resistivity of aluminum p=2.65×10⁻⁸ ohms

So

ΔV=IR

=I(\frac{pL}{A})\\ =I(\frac{pL}{\pi r^{2} } )\\=I(\frac{pL}{\pi (d/2)^{2} } )\\=165A((\frac{(2.65*10^{-8})(0.0387m)}{\pi (0.0211m/2)^{2} } ))\\=4.84*10^{-4}V

ΔV=0.484mV

Calculate the average orbital speed of Ceres in
marin [14]
] Ceres is composed of rock and ice and is estimated to comprise approximately one third of the mass of the entire asteroid belt. Ceres is the only object in the asteroid belt known to be rounded by its own gravity (though detailed analysis was required to exclude 4 Vesta). From Earth, the apparent magnitude of Ceres ranges from 6.7 to 9.3, peaking once every 15 to 16 months,[21]hence even at its brightest it is too dim to be seen with the naked eye except under extremely dark skies.

A large magnetic flux change through a coil must induce a greater emf in the coil than a small flux change. A) True B) False
bixtya [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Faraday's law gives the relationship between the induced emf and the rate of change of magnetic flux i.e.

\epsilon=\dfrac{-d\phi}{dt}

The given statement "A large magnetic flux change through a coil must induce a greater emf in the coil than a small flux change" is false. The reason is that if the rate of change of magnetic flux is greater, then its will induce more emf. It would mean it does not say about emf.

Hence, it is false.

The maximum speed limit on interstate 10 is 75 miles per hour. how many meters per second is this
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

<h2>33.53m/s</h2>

Explanation:

Given the maximum speed limit on interstate 10 as 75 miles per hour, to get the speed in meter per seconds, we need to convert the given speed to meter per seconds.

Using the conversion 1 mile = 1609.34m and 1 hour = 3600 seconds

75 miles perhour = 75miles/1 hour

75miles/1 hour (in m/s) = 75miles*1609.34m* 1 hour/1mile * 1 hour * 3600s *

= 75 *1609.34m* 1 /1 * 1 * 3600s

= 120,700.5m/3600s

= 33.53m/s

<em>Hence the maximum speed limit on interstate 10 in metre per seconds is 33.53m/s</em>
