A 5000-km long cable consists of seven copper wires, each of diameter 0.85 mm, bundled together and surrounded by an insulating

sheath. Calculate the resistance of the cable. Use 3x10^-6 cm.Ω for the resistivity of the copper.

Answer:

The resistance of the cable is 37762.91 ohms.

Explanation:

let L be the length of the cable, A be the cross-sectional area of the cable and   r be the resistivity of the copper.

then, the resistance of the cable is given by:

R = r×L/A

  = (3×10^-8)×(5000×10^3)/(7×π((0.85×10^-3)/2)^2)

  = 37762.91 ohms

Therefore, the resistance of the cable is 37762.91 ohms.

A 45.0-kg girl is standing on a 168-kg plank. The plank, originally at rest, is free to slide on a frozen lake, which is a flat,
muminat

Answer:

The speed of the plank relative to the ice is:

v_{p}=-0.33\: m/s

Explanation:

Here we can use momentum conservation. Do not forget it is relative to the ice.

m_{g}v_{g}+m_{p}v_{p}=0 (1)

Where:

  • m(g) is the mass of the girl
  • m(p) is the mass of the plank
  • v(g) is the speed of the girl
  • v(p) is the speed of the plank

Now, as we have relative velocities, we have:

v_{g/b}=v_{g}-v_{p}=1.55 \: m/s (2)

v(g/b) is the speed of the girl relative to the plank

Solving the system of equations (1) and (2)

45v_{g}+168v_{p}=0

v_{g}-v_{p}=1.55

v_{p}=-0.33\: m/s

I have a voltage source of 12V but a light that only burns at 5V. The lamp works on 18 mA. Calculate the resistance that you EXT
ratelena [41]

Answer:

The resistance that will provide this potential drop is 388.89 ohms.

Explanation:

Given;

Voltage source, E = 12 V

Voltage rating of the lamp, V = 5 V

Current through the lamp, I = 18 mA

Extra voltage or potential drop, IR =  E- V  

                                                    IR = 12 V - 5 V = 7 V

The resistance that will provide this potential drop (7 V) is calculated as follows:

IR = V

R = \frac{V}{I} = \frac{7 \ V}{18 \times 10^{-3} A} \ = 388.89 \ ohms

Therefore, the resistance that will provide this potential drop is 388.89 ohms.
