A meteorologist tracks the movement of a thunderstorm with Doppler radar. At 8:00pm the storm was 55 mi northeast of her station

. At 11:00 pm the storm is at 75 mi north. What's the direction of the average velocity of the storm? And the magnitude of the average velocity of the storm?

At 8:00 pm, the velocity of the storm is 55 mi northeast. Assuming that the direction is exactly northeast, the angle is 45°
At 11:00 pm, the velocity is 75 mi north. The angle is 90°
In vector form
55 ∠ 45°
and
75 ∠ 90°
The magnitude and direction of the average velocity is
(55 ∠ 45° + 75 ∠ 90° ) / 3

A 1.60 m cylindrical rod of diameter 0.550 cm is connected to a power supply that maintains a constant potential difference of 1

bija089 [108]

1.

Answer:

Part a)

$\rho = 1.35 \times 10^{-5}$

Part b)

$\alpha = 1.12 \times 10^{-3}$

Explanation:

Part a)

Length of the rod is 1.60 m

diameter = 0.550 cm

now if the current in the ammeter is given as

$i = 18.7 A$

V = 17.0 volts

now we will have

$V = I R$

$17.0 = 18.7 R$

R = 0.91 ohm

now we know that

$R = \rho \frac{L}{A}$

$0.91 = \rho \frac{1.60}{\pi(0.275\times 10^{-2})^2}$

$\rho = 1.35 \times 10^{-5}$

Part b)

Now at higher temperature we have

$V = I R$

$17.0 = 17.3 R$

R = 0.98 ohm

now we know that

$R = \rho \frac{L}{A}$

$0.98 = \rho' \frac{1.60}{\pi(0.275\times 10^{-2})^2}$

$\rho' = 1.46 \times 10^{-5}$

so we will have

$\rho' = \rho(1 + \alpha \Delta T)$

$1.46 \times 10^{-5} = 1.35 \times 10^{-5}(1 + \alpha (92 - 20))$

$\alpha = 1.12 \times 10^{-3}$

2.

Answer:

Part a)

$i = 1.55 A$

Part b)

$v_d = 1.4 \times 10^{-4} m/s$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that current density is defined as

$j = \frac{i}{A}$

now we have

$i = jA$

Now we have

$j = 1.90 \times 10^6 A/m^2$

$A = \pi(\frac{1.02 \times 10^{-3}}{2})^2$

so we will have

$i = 1.55 A$

Part b)

now we have

$j = nev_d$

so we have

$n = 8.5 \times 10^{28}$

$e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$

so we have

$1.90 \times 10^6 = (8.5 \times 10^{28})(1.6 \times 10^{-19})v_d$

$v_d = 1.4 \times 10^{-4} m/s$

A cosmic ray electron moves at 7.65 ✕ 106 m/s perpendicular to the Earth's magnetic field at an altitude where field strength is

mariarad [96]

Answer:

Radius = 3.96m

Explanation:

In a cyclotron motion, the radius of a charged particle path in a magnetic feild is given by:

r = mv/qB

Where r = radius

m = mass of particle= 9.1×10^-31kg

q = charged electron = 1.6×10^-19C

B = magnetic feid = 7.65×10^6T

V = velocity = 7.65×10^6

r = (9.1×10^-31)×(7.65×10^6) / (1.6×10^-19)(1.10 ×10^-5)

r = (6.9615×10^-24)/(1.76 ×10^-24)

r = 3.96m
