Wire sizes are often reported using the AWG (American Wire Gauge) system in which smaller diameter wires are said to be of highe

r gauge. Thus the thin 24-gauge wire included in many electronics kits has a wire diameter of 0.51 mm, while a thicker 12-gauge wire used for many home audio speakers has a wire diameter of 2.05 mm. Different gauge wires have different maximum current ratings, with thicker wires being capable of safely handling larger current.
A. Consider a meter of 24-gauge copper wire. Calculate the resistance of this wire.

B. Imagine that this 1-meter length of 24-gauge copper wire were laid across the terminals of an ideal 12-volt battery. Calculate the current that would run through the wire.

C. The maximum safe current rating for 24-gauge copper wire is 2.0 Amps. What is the shortest length of this wire that could be safely placed across the ideal 12-volt battery?

Answer:

Explanation:

24 - gauge wire , diameter = .51 mm .

Resistivity of copper ρ = 1.72 x 10⁻⁸ ohm-m

R = ρ l / s

1.72x 10⁻⁸ / [3.14 x( .51/2)² x 10⁻⁶ ]

= 8.42 x 10⁻² ohm

= .084 ohm

B )  Current required through this wire

= 12 / .084 A

= 142.85 A

C )

Let required length be l

resistance = .084 l

2 = 12 / .084 l

l = 12 / (2 x .084)

= 71.42 m

Answer:

Explanation:

diameter of 24 gauge wire = 0.51 mm

diameter of 12 gauge wire = 2.05 mm

A.

length of wire, l = 1 m

diameter of wire, d = 0.51 mm

radius of wire, r = 0.51 /2 = 0.255 mm

resistivity of copper, ρ = 1.7 x 10^-8 ohm metre

The formula for the resistance of wire is given by

R=\rho \frac{l}{A}

where, l is the length of wire and A be the area of crossection of wire

A = πr² = 3.14 x 0.255 x 10^-3 x 0.255 x 10^-3 = 2.04 x 10^-7 m²

The resistance of wire is

R=1.7\times10^{-8}\frac{1}{2.04\times 10^{-7}}

R = 0.083 ohm

B.

R = 0.083 ohm

V = 12 V

Let the current is I.

Use ohm's law

V = I R

12 = I x 0.083

I = 144.6 A

C.

I = 2 A

V = 12 V

Area of wire, A = 2.04 x 10^-7 m²

Resistivity of wire, ρ = 1.7 x 10^-8 ohm metre

Let the length of the wire is l.

V = I R

12 = 2 x R

R = 6 ohm

6=1.7\times10^{-8}\frac{l}{2.04\times 10^{-7}}

l = 72 m

Aluminum oxide can be produced during rocket launches. Show that the sum of positive and negative charges in a unit of Al2O3 equ
Triss [41]

Answer:

The sum of positive and negative charges in a unit of Al2O3 equals zero.

Aluminium has a charge of +3 while Oxygen has a charge of -2 on each ion.

Al203 has 2 Al atoms and 3 O atoms.

Charge on Al2O3 = 2(charge on Al ion) + 3(charge on O ion)

= 2(3) + 3(-2)

= 6 - 6

= 0

Explanation:

Aluminium has 3 electrons in the outermost shell and has the tendency to lose those 3 electrons to form a positive ion and have a complete outermost shell.

Whereas, Oxygen has 6 electrons in the outermost and has the tendency to accept two more electrons to form a negative ion and have a complete outermost shell.

A woman takes her dog rover for a walk on a leash. She pulls on the leash with a force of 30.0 N at an angle of 29° above the ho
IrinaK [193]

19.8 N force is tending to lift Rover vertically off the ground.

<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.

According to the question,

The women pulls the dog with a force of 30 N at an angle of  29° from the horizontal.

Horizontal component=  30cos(29°) = 22.2 N

Vertical component = 30sin(29°) = 19.8 N

Therefore,

The horizontal component would tend to make the dog move forward and the vertical component would tend lift it off the ground.

Hence,

19.8 N force is tending to lift Rover vertically off the ground.

A small plastic bead has been charged to -15nC.
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

q = - 15 n C = - 15 x 10^-9 c

(a) d = 0.9 cm = 0.009 m

electric field on proton, E = Kq/d²

E = 9 x 10^9 x 15 x 10^-9 / (0.009)²

E = 1.67 x 10^6 N/C

Force on proton, F = charge on proton x Electric field

F = 1.6 x 10^-19 x 1.67 x 10^6 = 2.67 x 10^-13 N

acceleration of proton, a = F / m

a = (2.67 x 10^-13) / (1.67 x 10^-27)

a = 1.6 x 10^14 m/s²

(B) the direction of acceleration is towards the bead, as the force is attractive.

(C) d = 0.9 cm = 0.009 m

electric field on proton, E = Kq/d²

E = 9 x 10^9 x 15 x 10^-9 / (0.009)²

E = 1.67 x 10^6 N/C

Force on electron, F = charge on electron x Electric field

F = 1.6 x 10^-19 x 1.67 x 10^6 = 2.67 x 10^-13 N

acceleration of proton, a = F / m

a = (2.67 x 10^-13) / (9.1 x 10^-31)

a = 3 x 10^17 m/s²

(D) the direction of acceleration is away from the bead, as the force is repulsive.

child slides down a snow‑covered slope on a sled. At the top of the slope, her mother gives her a push to start her off with a s
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

θ = 13.7º

Explanation:

  • According to the work-energy theorem, the change in the kinetic energy of the combined mass of the child and the sled, is equal to the total work done on the object by external forces.
  • The external forces capable to do work on the combination of child +sled, are the friction force (opposing to the displacement), and the component of the weight parallel to the slide.
  • As this last work is just equal to the change in the gravitational potential energy (with opposite sign) , we can write the following equation:

       \Delta K + \Delta U = W_{nc} (1)

  • ΔK, is the change in kinetic energy, as follows:

       \Delta K = \frac{1}{2}* m* (v_{f} ^{2}  - v_{0} ^{2}) (2)

  • ΔU, is the change in the gravitational potential energy.
  • If we choose as our zero reference level, the bottom of the slope, the change in gravitational potential energy will be as follows:

        \Delta U = 0 - m*g*h = -m*g*d* sin\theta (3)

  • Finally, the work done for non-conservative forces, is the work done by the friction force, along the slope, as follows:

        W_{nc} = F_{f} * d * cos 180\º \\\\  = 0.2*m*g*d* cos 180\º = -0.2*m*g*d (4)

  • Replacing (2), (3), and (4) in (1), simplifying common terms, and rearranging, we have:

      \frac{1}{2}* (v_{f} ^{2}  - v_{0} ^{2}) = g*d* sin\theta -0.2*g*d

  • Replacing by the givens and the knowns, we can solve for sin θ, as follows:              \frac{1}{2}*( (4.30 m/s) ^{2}  - (0.75 m/s)^{2}) = 9.8 m/s2*25.5m* sin\theta -0.2*9.8m/s2*25.5m\\ \\ 8.56 (m/s)2 = 250(m/s)2* sin \theta -50 (m/s)2\\ \\ sin \theta = \frac{58.6 (m/s)2}{250 (m/s)2}  = 0.236⇒ θ = sin⁻¹ (0.236) = 13.7º
