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

An uncharged conductor has a hollow cavity inside of it. Within this cavity there is a charge of +10 µC that does not touch the

aliina [53]

Answer:

Explanation:

we have to make charge inside the conductor zero because we know that electric field inside the conductor should be zero

so, the outer surface of the conductor should contain + 10 uC of charge and the inner surface contains -10 uC

John ( body mass= 65 kg) is taking off for a long jump . Horizontal accerleration ax is 5m/s^2 and vertical acceleration ay is 0

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

(a) The horizontal ground reaction force $F_{g,x}=325\, N$

(b) The vertical ground reaction force $F_{g,y}=696\, N$

(c) The resultant ground reaction force $F_g=768\, N$

Explanation:

Given

John mass , m = 65 kg

Horizontal acceleration , $a_x= 5.0 \frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Vertical acceleration , $a_y=0.9 \frac{m}{s^{2}}$

(a) Using Newton's 2nd law in horizontal direction

$F_{g,x}=ma_x$

=> $F_{g,x}=65\times 5\, N=325\, N$

Thus the horizontal ground reaction force $F_{g,x}=325\, N$

(b) Using Newton's 2nd law in vertical direction

$F_{g,y}-mg=ma_y$

=> $F_{g,y}=mg+ma_y$

=> $F_{g,y}=65\times (9.81+0.9)\, N=696\, N$

Thus the vertical ground reaction force $F_{g,y}=696\, N$

$F_g=(F_{g,x}^{2}+F_{g,y}^{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}$

=> $F_g=(325^{2}+696^{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}\, N=768\, N$

=> $F_g=768\, N$

Thus the resultant ground reaction force $F_g=768\, N$

If a 1-megaton nuclear weapon is exploded

Elenna [48]

Answer:

1,780,000 N

Explanation:

0.2 atm × (1.013×10⁵ Pa/atm) = 20,260 Pa

Force = pressure × area

F = 20,260 Pa × (3.89 m × 22.6 m)

F = 1,780,000 N
