If both bars are made of a good conductor, then their specific heat capacities must be different. If both are metals, specific heat capacities of different metals can vary by quite a bit, eg, both are in kJ/kgK, Potassium is 0.13, and Lithium is very high at 3.57 - both of these are quite good conductors.

If one of the bars is a good conductor and the other is a good insulator, then, after the surface application of heat, the temperatures at the surfaces are almost bound to be different. This is because the heat will be rapidly conducted into the body of the conducting bar, soon achieving a constant temperature throughout the bar. Whereas, with the insulator, the heat will tend to stay where it's put, heating the bar considerably over that area. As the heat slowly conducts into the bar, it will also start to cool from its surface, because it's so hot, and even if it has the same heat capacity as the other bar, which might be possible, it will eventually reach a lower, steady temperature throughout.

A copper transmission cable 170 km long and 10.0 cm in diameter carries a current of 100 A .
Bond [772]

Answer:

a = = 37.2V

b = 13.39MJ

Explanation:

Given that

L = 170 × 10³

r = d/2

= 10cm / 2 = 5 cm

current I = 100A

we are to find the potential drop across the cable

so, we can use ohm’s law

V = IR = I (ρL/A)

ρ = resistivity of the copper

= 1.72 × 10⁻⁸ Ω.m

A = πr²

V = I(ρL/πr²)

= 100 (( 1.72 × 10⁻⁸ * 170 × 10³) / ( π * 0.05²))

= 37.2V

(b)

Energy (loss) = Pt

Enery (loss) = IVt

 3600s per hour

= (100A)(37.2V)(3600s)

= 13.39MJ

A SMART car can accelerate from rest to a speed of 28 m/s in 20s. What distance does it travel in this time?
sashaice [31]
Speed= distance/ time so distance = speed * time= 28 * 20= 560m .. so the answer is 560m.. l hope it helped :)
