Answer:

<em>More current will be loss through the metal wire strands if the force on them was repulsive, and more stress will be induced on the wire strands due to internal and external flexing.</em>

<em />

Explanation:

A wire bundle is made up of wire strands bunched together to increase flexibility that is not always possible in a single solid metal wire conductor. In the strands of wire carrying a high voltage power, each strand carries a certain amount of current, and the current through the strands all travel in the same direction. <em>It is know that for two conductors or wire, separated by a certain distance, that carries current flowing through them in the same direction, an attractive force is produced on these wires, one on the other. This effect is due to the magnetic induction of a current carrying conductor.</em> The forces between these strands of the high voltage wire bundle, pulls the wire strands closer, creating more bond between these wire strands and reducing internal flex induced stresses.

If the case was the opposite, and the wires opposed themselves, the effect would be that a lot of cost will be expended in holding these wire strands together. Also, stress within the strands due to the repulsion, will couple with external stress from the flexing of the wire, resulting in the weakening of the material.

<em>The biggest problem will be that more current will be lost in the wire due to increased surface area caused by the repulsive forces opening spaces between the strand. This loss is a s a result of the 'skin effect' in wire transmission, in which current tends to flow close to the surface of the metal wire. The skin effect generates power loss as heat through the exposed surface area.</em>

A car is rounding a 100-m-radius curve at 25 m/s.What is the minimum possible coefficient of static friction between the tires a
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The minimum possible coefficient of static friction between the tires and the ground is 0.64.

Explanation:

if the μ is the coefficient of static friction and R is radius of the curve and v is the speed of the car then, one thing we know is that along the curve, the frictional force, f will be equal to the centripedal force, Fc and this relation is :

Fc = f

m×(v^2)/(R) = μ×m×g

    (v^2)/(R) = g×μ

               μ = (v^2)/(R×g)

                  =  ((25)^2)/((100)×(9.8))

                  = 0.64

Therefore, the minimum possible coefficient of static friction between the tires and the ground is 0.64.

On Mars, the acceleration due to gravity is 3.77 m / s 2 . 3.77 m/s2. How far would a 15 g 15 g rock fall from rest in 2.5 s 2.5
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

s = 11.78 m

Explanation:

given,

acceleration due to gravity, g = 3.77 m/s²

mass of the rock = 15 g

time = 2.5 s

distance traveled = ?

using equation of motion

s = ut +\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

initial speed = 0 m/s

s = \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

s = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 3.77 \times 2.5^2

s = 11.78 m

distance traveled by the rock is equal to 11.78 m.

Assume it takes 5.00 minutes to fill a 50.0-gal gasoline tank. (1 U.S. gal = 231 in.3).
dolphi86 [110]

               (50 gal / 5 min) x (.0037854 m³/gal) x (1 min / 60 sec)

         =    (50 · 0.0037854 · 1) / (5 · 60)          m³/sec

         =                  0.000631  m³/sec

ratelena [41]

Answer:Near-field communication

Explanation:

Near Field Communication is an umbrella term that applies to location-aware technologies that allow devices to communicate securely with each other over short distances. Near-field communication is a short-range wirelessconnectivity standard that uses magnetic field induction to enable communication between devices when they're touched together, or brought within a few centimeters to each other.It also specifies a way for the devices to establish a peer-to-peer network to exchange data. After the peer to peer network has been configured, another wireless communication technology, such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, can be used for longer-range communication or for transferring larger amounts of data.
