Answer:

Quantum mechanics was one of the two great revolutions in modern physics. The first, or Einstein's relativity, was in fact the pinnacle of classical physics. But quantum mechanics and related theories completely changed the world of science and philosophy, and it was the end of classical physics.

Like Einstein relativity, we all use quantum mechanics on a daily basis, but its mathematical principles are very complex and beyond the reach of ordinary people without a degree in physics or mathematics.

In this post, I have tried to make this theory more accessible to all interested loved ones by stating the quantum theory and its consequences for the public.

Complete Question

An aluminum "12 gauge" wire has a diameter d of 0.205 centimeters. The resistivity ρ of aluminum is 2.75×10−8 ohm-meters. The electric field in the wire changes with time as E(t)=0.0004t2−0.0001t+0.0004 newtons per coulomb, where time is measured in seconds.

I = 1.2 A at time 5 secs.

Find the charge Q passing through a cross-section of the conductor between time 0 seconds and time 5 seconds.

Answer:

The charge is $Q =2.094 C$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The diameter of the wire is $d = 0.205cm = 0.00205 \ m$

The radius of the wire is $r = \frac{0.00205}{2} = 0.001025 \ m$

The resistivity of aluminum is $2.75*10^{-8} \ ohm-meters.$

The electric field change is mathematically defied as

$E (t) = 0.0004t^2 - 0.0001 +0.0004$

Generally the charge is mathematically represented as

$Q = \int\limits^{t}_{0} {\frac{A}{\rho} E(t) } \, dt$

Where A is the area which is mathematically represented as

$A = \pi r^2 = (3.142 * (0.001025^2)) = 3.30*10^{-6} \ m^2$

$\frac{A}{\rho} = \frac{3.3 *10^{-6}}{2.75 *10^{-8}} = 120.03 \ m / \Omega$

Therefore

$Q = 120 \int\limits^{t}_{0} { E(t) } \, dt$

substituting values

$Q = 120 \int\limits^{t}_{0} { [ 0.0004t^2 - 0.0001t +0.0004] } \, dt$

$Q = 120 [ \frac{0.0004t^3 }{3} - \frac{0.0001 t^2}{2} +0.0004t] } \left | t} \atop {0}} \right.$

From the question we are told that t = 5 sec

$Q = 120 [ \frac{0.0004t^3 }{3} - \frac{0.0001 t^2}{2} +0.0004t] } \left | 5} \atop {0}} \right.$

$Q = 120 [ \frac{0.0004(5)^3 }{3} - \frac{0.0001 (5)^2}{2} +0.0004(5)] }$

$Q =2.094 C$

A fire truck has a searchlight with a resistance of 60 (ohm) which is placed across a 24-V battery. What is the current in this

Mariulka [41]

Answer: 0.4 Amps

Explanation:

Voltage of battery = 24 Volts

Current I = ?

Resistance of searchlight (R)= 60ohms (Ω is the symbol for ohms)

Then, apply the formula for ohms law

Voltage = Current x resistance

i.e V = I x R

24V = I x 60Ω

I = 24V / 60Ω

I = 0.4 Amps (Amps is the unit of current)

Thus, the current in the circuit is 0.4 Amps

A hawk is flying horizontally at 18.0 m/s in a straight line, 230 m above the ground. A mouse it has been carrying struggles fre

Lisa [10]

Answer:

a) vd = 47.88 m/s

b) θ = 80.9°

c) t = 6.8 s

Explanation:

In the situation of the problem, you can assume that the trajectory of the hawk and the trajectory of the mouse form a rectangle triangle.

One side of the triangle is the horizontal trajectory of the hawk after 2.00s of flight, the other side of the triangle is the distance traveled by the mouse when it is falling down. And the hypotenuse is the trajectory of the hawk when it is trying to recover the mouse.

(a) In order to calculate the diving speed of the hawk, you first calculate the hypotenuse of the triangle.

One side of the triangle is c1 = (18.0m/s)(2.0s) = 36m

The other side of the triangle is c2 = 230m - 3m = 227 m

Then, the hypotenuse is:

$h=\sqrt{(36m)^2+(227m)^2}=229.83m$ (1)

Next, it is necessary to calculate the falling down time of the mouse, this can be done by using the following formula:

$y=y_o+v_ot+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$ (2)

yo: initial height = 230m

vo: initial vertical speed of the mouse = 0m/s

g: gravitational acceleration = -9.8m/s^2

y: final height of the mouse = 3 m

You replace the values of the parameters in (2) and solve for t:

$3=230-4.9t^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\frac{227}{4.9}}=6.8s$

The hawk traveled during 2.00 second in the horizontal trajectory, hence, the hawk needed 6.8s - 2.0s = 4.8 s to travel the distance equivalent to the hypotenuse to catch the mouse.

You use the value of h and 4.8s to find the diving speed of the hawk:

$v_d=\frac{229.83m}{4.8s}=47.88\frac{m}{s}$

The diving speed of the Hawk is 47.88m/s

(b) The angle is given by:

$\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{c_1}{h})=cos^{-1}(\frac{36m}{229.83m})=80.9 \°$

Then angle between the horizontal and the trajectory of the Hawk when it is descending is 80.9°

(c) The mouse is falling down during 6.8 s

<h3>What is horizontal and vertical component?</h3>

The horizontal velocity component ( $v_{x}$ ) describes the influence of the velocity in displacing the projectile horizontally. The vertical velocity component ( $v_{y}$ ) describes the influence of the velocity in displacing the projectile vertically.
