The new fuse will not blow up when a higher current is flowing and the circuit wont be broken and high current can heat up the object and cause a fire boom

First,

\rho=\dfrac mV

where \rho is density, m is mass, and V is volume. We can compute the volume of the roll:

2.7\,\dfrac{\mathrm g}{\mathrm{cm}^3}=\dfrac{1275\,\mathrm g}V

\implies V\approx472.22\,\mathrm{cm}^3\approx4.72\,\mathrm m^3

When the roll is unfurled, the aluminum will be a rectangular box (a very thin one), so its volume will be the product of the given area and its thickness x. Note that we're assuming the given area is not the actual total surface area of the aluminum box, but just the area of the largest face (i.e. the area of one side of the unrolled sheet of aluminum).

So we have

V=Ax

where A is the given area, so

4.72\,\mathrm m^3=\left(18.5\,\mathrm m^2\right)x

\implies x\approx0.255\,\mathrm m=255\,\mathrm{mm}

If we're taking significant digits into account, the volume we found would have been V=470\,\mathrm m^3, in turn making the thickness x=250\,\mathrm{mm}.

Nitroglycerin flows through a pipe of diameter 3.0 cm at 2.0 m/s. If the diameter narrows to 0.5 cm, what will the velocity be?
Korolek [52]

Answer:

72 m/s

Explanation:

D1 = 3 cm, v1 = 2 m/s

D2 = 0.5 cm,

Let the velocity at narrow end be v2.

By use of equation of continuity

A1 v1 = A2 v2

3.14 × 3 × 3 × 2 = 3.14 × 0.5 ×0.5 × v2

v2 = 72 m/s

The area of a rectangular park is 4 mi^2. The park has a width that is equal to "w", and a length that is 3 mi longer than the w
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

l= 4 mi   : width of the park

w= 1 mi  : length of the park

Explanation:

Formula to find the area of ​​the rectangle:

A= w*l       Formula(1)

Where,

A is the area of the  rectangle in mi²

w is the  width of the rectangle in mi

l is the  width of the rectangle in mi

Known data

A =  4 mi²

l = (w+3)mi    Equation (1)

Problem development

We replace the data in the formula (1)

A= w*l  

4 = w* (w+3)

4= w²+3w

w²+3w-4= 0

We factor the equation:

We look for two numbers whose sum is 3 and whose multiplication is -4

(w-1)(w+4) = 0 Equation (2)

The values ​​of w for which the equation (2) is zero are:

w = 1 and w = -4

We take the positive value w = 1 because w is a dimension and cannot be negative.

w  = 1 mi  :width of the park

We replace w  = 1 mi  in the equation (1) to calculate the length of the park:

l=  (w+3) mi

l= ( 1+3) mi

l= 4 mi

An ideal parallel-plate capacitor consists of a set of two parallel plates of area Separated by a very small distance 푑. This ca
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

doubled the initial value

Explanation:

Let the area of plates be A and the separation between them is d.

Let V be the potential difference of the battery.

The energy stored in the capacitor is given by

U = Q^2/2C   ...(1)

Now the battery is disconnected, it means the charge is constant.

the separation between the plates is doubled.

The capacitance of the parallel plate capacitor is inversely proportional to the distance between the plates.

C' = C/2

the new energy stored

U' = Q^2 /  2C'

U' = Q^2/C = 2 U

The energy stored in the capacitor is doubled the initial amount.
