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

Mazyrski [523]

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 = $1.917\times 10^{-3}\Omega$

The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about 5.4 ft/s2 . If your weight is 150 lbf on the earth:

Arada [10]

Answer:

4.662 slugs

Explanation:

Your mass on the moon should always be the same as any planet you are on (due to law of mass conservation), only your weight be different as gravitational acceleration is different on each planet.

If you weight 150 lbf on Earth, and gravitational acceleration on Earth is 32.174 ft/s2. The your mass on Earth is

m = W / g = 150 / 32.174 = 4.662 slugs

which is also your mass on the moon.

A 3874-kg rollercoaster is brought to the top of a 42m hill in 40 seconds,then drops 28m before the next hill.

Ede4ka [16]

(a) The work required to get the coaster to the top of the first hill is 1,594,538.4 J.

(b) The power required to bring the train to the top of the first hill is 39,863.46 W.

(c) The energy lost when the coaster drops is 531,512.8 J.

(d) The left at the bottom is determined as 1,063,025.6 J.

<h3>Work done to bring the rollercoaster top of the hill</h3>

W = Fn x d = mgh

W = 3874 x 9.8 x 42

W = 1,594,538.4 J

<h3>Power dissipated in bringing the rollercoaster on top hill</h3>

P = Fv

P = Fd/t

P = W/t

P = 1,594,538.4 /40 = 39,863.46 W

<h3>Energy lost when the coaster drops</h3>

E = 1,594,538.4 - (3874 x 9.8 x 28)

E = 531,512.8 J

<h3>Energy left at the bottom</h3>

E = 3874 x 9.8 x 28 = 1,063,025.6 J

A rock held above the ground has potential energy. As the rock falls, this potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Fina

ioda

Answer:

By the law of conservation of mechanical energy, in the absence of any drag, when the rock falls towards the ground, the potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Once the rock hits the ground, it does not move. This is because, the energy is dissipated as sound or heat (to the environment). The total energy remains conserved. Only the form of energy changes.
