Several 4-conductor cables are installed in a ladder cable tray without a cover and without exceeding the cable tray fill limit.

Each 4-conductor cable comprises four 1/0 AWG THHN copper conductors, each of which is considered current-carrying. What is the allowable ampacity of each 1/0 AWG THHN copper conductor?

6 0

Answer: The allowable ampacity is 136 amperes

Explanation:According to the National Electrical Code the ampacity for insulated conductors of type 1/0 AWG THHN is 170 amperes(from tables) for cables no exceeding 3

But we are presented with 4 cables in a tray,

Going by the National Electrical Code where conductors exceeds 3, the allowable ampacity shall be reduced to 80% the of the ampacity gotten from table.

Hence the allowable ampacity for 4 copper cables of type 1/0 AWG THHN is (80/100) *170=136 Amperes

A charge Q accumulates on the hollow metallic dome, of radius R, of a Van de Graaff generator. A probe measures the electric fie
andre [41]

The electric field changes by a factor 4/9

Explanation:

The electric field at a point outside a hollow charged sphere is identical to that produced by a single point charge Q, therefore its strength is given by

E=k\frac{Q}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb constant

Q is the charge on the sphere

r is the distance from the centre of the sphere

In this problem, we have a charge Q accumulated on the dome of the generator of radius R. The electric field strength at a distance of 2R from the sphere centre is

E=\frac{kQ}{(2R)^2}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{kQ}{R^2}

Then, the probe is moved to a new distance of

r = 3R

From the centre of the sphere: therefore, the new electric field will be

E'=\frac{kQ}{(3R)^2}=\frac{1}{9}\frac{kQ}{R^2}

So, the electric field has changed by a factor

\frac{E'}{E}=\frac{1/9}{1/4}=\frac{4}{9}

fr.shah visits patients at their homes. the equation y=150x + 50 represents the amount she charges, where y represents the total
artcher [175]

Answer:

50 represent the initial fee or cost added to the total cost

Explanation:

y=150x + 50

y represents the total cost and

x represents the number of hours she spends at the home.

Just like the slope intercept form y=mx + b; where m is the slope of the rate of  150 per hour and y is the total cost.

50 represent the initial fee or cost added to the total cost; in order words, 50 is the b value or where the cost is at 0 hours.

The angle of incidence must equal the angle of reflection is always less than the angle of reflection is always greater than the
saw5 [17]

Answer: The angle of incidence is not always equal to the angle of reflection.

Explanation:

The angle of incidence might not be equal to the angle of reflection. It depends of the type of surface in consideration. If the surface is smooth, the incident ray will reflect out at the same angle the incident ray makes with surface. This is not the same for a rough or irregular surface.

For an irregular surface, the angle of incident is not equal to the angle if reflection because the reflected ray always reflects at different angles to the horizontal.
