Answer:

8\cdot 10^{-4} V

Explanation:

First of all, let's find the cross-sectional area of the copper wire. The radius of the wire half the diameter:

r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.28 cm}{2}=0.64 cm=6.4\cdot 10^{-3} m

So the area is

A=\pi r^2 = \pi (6.4\cdot 10^{-3} m)^2=1.29\cdot 10^{-4} m^2

Now we can calculate the resistance of the piece of copper wire between the bird's feet, with the formula:

R=\rho \frac{L}{A}

where

\rho=1.68\cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m is the resistivity of copper

L=4.12 cm=4.12 \cdot 10^{-2} m is the length of the piece of wire

A=1.29\cdot 10^{-4} m^2 is the cross-sectional area

Substituting, we find

R=(1.68\cdot 10^{-8} m^2)\frac{4.12\cdot 10^{-2} m}{1.29\cdot 10^{-4} m^2}=5.4\cdot 10^{-6} \Omega

And since we know the current in the wire, I=149 A, we can now find the potential difference across the body of the bird, by using Ohm's law:

V=IR=(149 A)(5.4\cdot 10^{-6} \Omega)=8\cdot 10^{-4} V

As a 15000 kg jet plane lands on an aircraft carrier, its tail hook snags a cable to slow it down. The cable is attached to a sp
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

60 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy,

The kinetic energy of the plane = Energy of store in the spring when the plane lands.

1/2mv²  = 1/2ke²

making v the subject of the equation.

v = √(ke²/m).................... Equation 1

Where  v = the plane landing speed, k = spring constant, e = extension. m = mass of the plane.

Given: m = 15000 kg, k = 60000 N/m, e = 30 m.

Substitute into equation 1

v = √(60000×30²/15000)

v = √(4×900)

v = √(3600)

v = 60 m/s.

Hence the plane's landing speed = 60 m/s

Ahmed fills a basket with shopping weighing 10 kg. How much work is being done on the shopping basket when he lifts it verticall
NISA [10]

The work done by the shopping basket is 147 J.

<h3>When is work said to be done?</h3>

Work is said to be done whenever a force moves an object through a certain distance.

The amount of work done on the shopping basket can be calculated using the formula below.

Formula:

  • W = mgh

Where:

  • W = Amount of work done by the basket
  • m = mass of the shopping basket
  • h = height of the shopping basket
  • g = acceleration due to gravity.

Form the question,

Given:

  • m = 10 kg
  • h = 1.5 m
  • g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • W = 10(1.5)(9.8)
  • W = 147 J.

Hence, The work done by the shopping basket is 147 J.

Q2. You push a crate up a ramp with a force of 10 N. Despite your pushing, the crate slides down the ramp 4 m. How much work did
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

40 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Force (F) = 10 N

Distance (s) = 4 m

Workdone (Wd) =?

Work done is simply defined as the product of force and distance moved in the direction of the force. Mathematically, we can express the Workdone as:

Workdone = force × distance

Wd = F × s

With the above formula, we can obtain the workdone as follow:

Force (F) = 10 N

Distance (s) = 4 m

Workdone (Wd) =?

Wd = F × s

Wd = 10 × 4

Wd = 40 J

Thus, 40 J of work was done.
