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

A cannon fires a cannonball 500.0 m downrange when set at a 45.0o angle. At what velocity does the cannonball leave the cannon?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

v = 70 m/s

Explanation:

Range on the cannon ball is given as

d = 500.0 m

here the angle of the projection of the ball is given as 45 degree

now we know that if the velocity of the ball is "v" then its two components will be given as

v_x = vcos45

v_y = vsin45

so here time of flight of the motion is given as

T = \frac{2v_y}{g}

T = \frac{2vsin45}{g}

also the range is given as

R = v_x T

R = (vcos45)(\frac{2vsin45}{g})

now plug in all data in this equation

500.0 = \frac{v^2(2sin45cos45)}{g}

v = 70 m/s

What force stops a car from sinking into the road surface?
mariarad [96]
I believe it's technically referred to as the Normal force.
However I like to think of it as the reaction force, as it is the force that is a result of obeying Newton's 3rd law ("<span>For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction"). The upward force from the ground is the reaction to the downward force of gravity.</span>
