8 0

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

It lasts 29 1/2 days.
-the sidereal month- is the true period of the moon's revolution around Earth. It lasts 27 1/3 days.
-the difference of 2 days between the synodic and sidereal cycles is due to the Earth- moon system also moving in an orbit around the sun.

An object is thrown upward with some velocity. If the object rises 77.5 m above the point of release, (a) how fast was the objec

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

$v_o=39\ m/s\\t_m=4\ s$

Explanation:

<u>Vertical Launch Upwards</u>

In a vertical launch upwards, an object is launched vertically up from a height H without taking into consideration any kind of friction with the air.

If vo is the initial speed and g is the acceleration of gravity, the maximum height reached by the object is given by:

$\displaystyle h_m=H+\frac{v_o^2}{2g}$

The object referred to in the question is thrown from a height H=0 and the maximum height is hm=77.5 m.

(a)

To find the initial speed we solve for vo:

$\displaystyle v_o=\sqrt{2gh_m}$

$v_o=\sqrt{2\cdot 9.8\cdot 77.5}$

$v_o=39\ m/s$

(b)

The maximum time or the time taken by the object to reach its highest point is calculated as follows:

$\displaystyle t_m=\frac{v_o}{g}$

$\displaystyle t_m=\frac{39}{9.8}$

$t_m=4\ s$

Light will not pass through a pair of polaroids when their axes are

Advocard [28]

Answer:

perpendicular

Explanation:

Polaroids are the material that is used to polarize the ray of light. Polaroid consists of microcrystals of herapathite.

When unpolarized light is passed through the Polaroid then ray appears to be of half the intensity and vibration of the ray in the single plane so, the emerged light is known as polarized light

Polaroids are used in the glasses to protect the eye from unwanted rays.

When Light does not pass through a pair of Polaroids then the axis of Polaroids will be perpendicular to the axis of ray.
