5. An electrical power plant generates electricity with a current of 50 A and a potential difference of 20 000 V. In order to mi

lakkis [162]

Answer: Current = 2 A

Explanation:

Given that an electrical power plant generates electricity with a

current I = 50 A

Potential difference V = 20 000 V

The resistance R will be achieved by Ohms law formula which state that

V = IR

But the power generated will be the product of potential difference and the current

Power P = IV

P = 50 × 20000

P = 1, 000000 W

When the transformer steps up the potential difference to 500 000 V before it is transmitted

Power is always constant.

Using the formula for power again with

V = 500000

1000000 = 500000× I

Make I the subject of formula

Current I = 1000000/500000

Current I = 2 A

If a student flicks a stationary 0.1 kg ball with 5N of force for 0.1 seconds. What is its final

Alisiya [41]

5m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of ball = 0.1kg

Force on the ball = 5N

time taken = 0.1s

Unknown:

final speed of the ball = ?

Solution:

According to newton's second law "the net force on a body is the product of its mass and acceleration".

Force = mass x acceleration equation 1

Acceleration =

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

T is the time taken

U = O since it is a stationary body;

a = $\frac{V}{T}$

Input "a" into equation 1

F = m x $\frac{V}{T}$

5 = 0.1 x $\frac{V}{0.1}$

V = 5m/s

You want to produce three 2.00-mm-diametercylindrical wires, each with a resistance of 1.00 Ω at room temperature. One wire is g

Vlada [557]

Answer:

(a) L = 128.75 m

(b) L = 182.56 m

(c) L = 114.28 m

(d) Mass of Gold = 7.68 kg = 7680 gram

(e) Cost of Gold Wire = $ 307040

Explanation:

The resistance of the wire is given as:

R = ρL/A

where,

R = Resistance

ρ = resistivity

L = Length

A = cross-sectional area

(a)

For Gold Wire:

ρ = 2.44 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m

A = πd²/4 = π(2 x 10⁻³ m)²/4 = 3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²

R = 1 Ω

Therefore,

1 Ω = (2.44 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m)L/(3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²)

L = (1 Ω)(3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²)/(2.44 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m)

<u>L = 128.75 m</u>

<u></u>

(b)

For Copper Wire:

ρ = 1.72 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m

A = πd²/4 = π(2 x 10⁻³ m)²/4 = 3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²

R = 1 Ω

Therefore,

1 Ω = (1.72 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m)L/(3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²)

L = (1 Ω)(3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²)/(1.72 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m)

<u>L = 182.56 m</u>

<u></u>

(c)

For Aluminum Wire:

ρ = 2.75 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m

A = πd²/4 = π(2 x 10⁻³ m)²/4 = 3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²

R = 1 Ω

Therefore,

1 Ω = (2.75 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m)L/(3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²)

L = (1 Ω)(3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²)/(2.75 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m)

<u>L = 114.28 m</u>

<u></u>

(d)

Density = Mass/Volume

Mass = (Density)(Volume)

Volume of Gold = AL = (3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²)(128.75 m) = 4.04 x 10⁻⁴ m³

Therefore,

Mass of Gold = (1.9 x 10⁴ kg/m³)(4.04 x 10⁻⁴ m³)

<u>Mass of Gold = 7.68 kg = 7680 gram</u>

<u></u>

(e)

Cost of Gold Wire = (Unit Price of Gold)(Mass of Gold)

Cost of Gold Wire = ($ 40/gram)(7680 grams)

<u>Cost of Gold Wire = $ 307040</u>

If we use 1 millimeter to represent 1 light-year, how large in diameter is the Milky Way Galaxy?

storchak [24]

Answer:

d.100 meters

Explanation:

The diameter of the Milky Way Galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years.

Here we are using 1 millimiter (1 mm) to represent 1 light-year (1 ly). So, we can set the following proportion:

$1 mm : 1 ly = x : 100,000 ly$

and by finding x, we find the diameter of the Milky Way Galaxy in the scale used:

$x=\frac{(1mm )(100,000 ly)}{1 ly}=100,000 mm = 100 m$

so the correct answer is

d. 100 meters

Energy that is passed on from one trophic level to the next is called what?

yan [13]

Energy decreases as it moves uptrophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms from the next level.Trophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) measures the amount of energy that is transferred between trophic levels.
