A 1-meter-long wire consists of an inner copper core with a radius of 1.0 mm and an outer aluminum sheathe, which is 1.0 mm thic

k, so the total radius of the wire is 2.0 mm. The resistivity of copper is 1.7×10−8 Ω·m and that of aluminum is 2.8×10−8 Ω·m. What is the total resistance of the wire? (Hint, are the two different materials in series or in parallel with each other?)

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Length, L = 1 m

radius, rc = 1.0 mm

Area of inner copper, Ac = pi × (0.001)^2

= 3.142 × 10^-6 m^2

Thickness, t = 1.0 mm

Total radius of the wire, rt = 2.0 mm

Area of outer aluminum sheathe, Aa = area of total wire, At - area of copper core, Ac

Area of total wire = pi × (0.002)^2

= 1.26 × 10^-5 m^2

Aa = 1.26 × 10^-5 - 3.142 × 10^-6

= 9.42 × 10^-6 m^2

Resistivity of copper, Dc = 1.7×10−8 Ω·m

Resistivity of aluminum, Da = 2.8×10−8 Ω·m

D = (R × A)/L

Rc = (Dc × L)/Ac

= (1.7×10−8 × 1)/3.142 × 10^-6

= 5.41 × 10^-3 Ω

Ra = (2.8×10−8 × 1)/9.42 × 10^-6

= 2.97 × 10^-3 Ω

Since both wires are connected at the same time to the voltage supply, therefore,

1/Rt = 1/Ra + 1/Rc

= 1/2.97 × 10^-3 + 1/5.41 × 10^-3

= 521.54

Rt = 1.92 × 10^-3 Ω

Answer:

The total resistance of the wire is = 1.917\times10^{-3}

Explanation:

Since the wires will both be in contact with the voltage source at the same time and the current flows along in their length-wise direction, the two wires will be considered to be in parallel.

Hence, for resistances in parallel, the total resistance, R_{Total}

\frac{1}{R_{Total}}  =\frac{1}{R_{cu}  }+\frac{1}{R_{al}}

Parameters given:

Length of wire = 1 m

Cross sectional area of copper A_{cu}= \pi r^{2}= \pi \times (1\times 10^{-3}  )^{2} =3.142\times10^{-6} m^{2}

Cross sectional area of aluminium wire  

A_{al}= \pi( R^{2}-r^{2})\\\\ = \pi \times [ (2\times 10^{-3}  )^{2}-(1\times 10^{-3}  )^{2}] =9.42\times10^{-6} m^{2}\\

Resistivity of copper \rho _{cu}=1.7\times 10^{-8}  \Omega .m

Resistivity of Aluminium \rho _{al}=2.8\times 10^{-8}  \Omega .m

Resistance of copper R_{cu}= \frac{\rho_{cu} \times l}{A_{cu} }  =\frac{1.7\times 10^{-8} \times 1}{3.142\times10^{-6} } =5.41\times 10^{-3}\Omega

Resistance of aluminium R_{al}= \frac{\rho_{al} \times l}{A_{al} }  =\frac{2.8\times 10^{-8} \times 1}{9.42\times10^{-6} } =2.97\times 10^{-3}\Omega

The total resistance of the wire can be obtained as follows;

\frac{1}{R_{Total}}  =\frac{1}{5.41\times10^{-3}  }+\frac{1}{2.97\times10^{-3}}=521.52\frac{1}{\Omega}

R_{Total}= 1.917\times 10^{-3}\Omega

∴ The total resistance of the wire = 1.917\times 10^{-3}\Omega

A flywheel in the form of a uniformly thick disk of radius 1.33 m1.33 m has a mass of 70.6 kg70.6 kg and spins counterclockwise
ladessa [460]

Answer:

The constant torque required to stop the disk is 8.6 N-m in clockwise direction .

Explanation:

Let counterclockwise be positive direction and clockwise be negative direction .

Given

Radius of disk , r = 1.33 m

Mass of disc , m = 70.6 kg

Initial angular velocity , \omega_i =217 rpm

Final angular velocity , \omega_f =0\, rpm

Time taken to stop , t = 2.75 min

Let \alpha  be the angular acceleration

We know

\omega _f=\omega _i+\alpha t

=>0=217+2.75\alpha =>\alpha = -78.9\frac{rev}{min^{2}}

=>\alpha =-\frac{78.9\times 2\pi}{60\times 60}\frac{rad}{s^{2}}=-0.138 \frac{rad}{s^{2}}

Torque required to stop is given by

\tau =I\alpha

where  moment of inertia , I=\frac{mr^{2}}{2}=\frac{70.6\times 1.33^{2}}{2}kg.m^{2}=62.5 kg.m^{2}

=>\therefore \tau =-0.138\times 62.5\, N.m=-8.6\, N.m

Thus the constant torque required to stop the disk is 8.6 N-m in clockwise direction .

What kind of wave (transverse of longitudinal) is each of the following and why?
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

1.) Longitudinal waves

2.) Transverse waves

3.) Longitudinal waves

Explanation:

The sound of one whale calling another whale underwater.  is a longitudinal wave since the medium, in this case the body of water, is vibrating parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave.

A pulse sent down a stretched rope by snapping one end of it. ( transverse wave) because its oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the wave or path of propagation

The vibrations in a guitar string

Longitudinal wave. Because its oscillations are parallel to the direction of the wave or path of propagation

The magnetic field in the region between the poles of an electromagnet is uniform at any time, (1 point) but is increasing at th
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

B)

The magnitude of induced emf in the conducting loop is 0.99 mV.

Explanation:

Rate of increase in magnetic field per unit time = 0.090 T/s

Area of the conducting loop = 110 cm^2 = 0.0110 m^2

Electromagnetic induction is the production of an emf or voltage in a coil of wire due to a changing magnetic field through the coil.

Induced e.m.f is given as:

EMF = (-N*change in magnetic field/time)*Area

EMF = rate of change of magnetic field per unit time * Area

EMF = 0.090 * 0.0110

EMF = 0.00099 V

EMF = 0.99 mV

What is the frequency of a wave?
Paladinen [302]
The answer should be the number, or amount, of cycles that occur in a given time. Frequency is basically Hertz. Frequency is the number of waves that pass through a certain point every second. I hope that I was able to answer your question.
Peace out!
