A fuse in an electric circuit is a wire that is designed to melt, and thereby open the circuit, if the current exceeds a predete

rmined value. Suppose that the material to be used in a fuse melts when the current density rises to 520 A/cm2. What diameter of cylindrical wire should be used to make a fuse that will limit the current to 0.62 A

Answer:

0.0389 cm

Explanation:

The current density in a conductive wire is given by

J=\frac{I}{A}

where

I is the current

A is the cross-sectional area of the wire

In this problem, we know that:

- The fuse melts when the current density reaches a value of

J=520 A/cm^2

- The maximum limit of the current in the wire must be

I = 0.62 A

Therefore, we can find the cross-sectional area that the wire should have:

A=\frac{I}{J}=\frac{0.62}{520}=1.19\cdot 10^{-3} cm^2

We know that the cross-sectional area can be written as

A=\pi \frac{d^2}{4}

where d is the diameter of the wire.

Re-arranging the equation, we  find the diameter of the wire:

d=\sqrt{\frac{4A}{\pi}}=\sqrt{\frac{4(1.19\cdot 10^{-3})}{\pi}}=0.0389 cm

Answer:

Sledgehammer A has more momentum

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Sledgehammer A = 3 Kg

Swing speed = 1.5 m/s

Mass of Sledgehammer B = 4 Kg

Swing speed = 0.9 m/s

Find:

More momentum

Computation:

Momentum = mv

Momentum sledgehammer A = 3 x 1.5

Momentum sledgehammer A = 4.5 kg⋅m/s

Momentum sledgehammer B = 4 x 0.9

Momentum sledgehammer B = 3.6 kg⋅m/s

Sledgehammer A has more momentum

A boat of mass 250 kg is coasting, with its engine in neutral, through the water at speed 1.00 m/s when it starts to rain with i
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. We use the conservation of momentum for before the raining and after. And also we take into account that in 0.5h the accumulated water is

100kg/h*0.5h = 50kg

p_{b}=p_{a}\\M_{b}v_{b}=(M_{b}+m_{r})v_{a}\\v_{a}=\frac{M_{b}v_{b}}{M_{b}+m_{r}}=\frac{250kg*1\frac{m}{s}}{250kg+50kg}=0.83\frac{m}{s}

2. the momentum does not conserve because the drag force of water makes that the boat loses velocity

3. If we assume that the force of the boat before the raining is

F=ma=m\frac{v-v_{0}}{t-t_{0}}=250kg\frac{1m}{s^{2}}=250N

where we have assumed that the acceleration of the boat is 1m/s{2} just before the rain starts

And if we take the net force as

F_{net}=M_{b}a_{net}=F-F_{d}=250N-bv^{2}\\F_{net}=250N-0.5N\frac{s^{2}}{m^{2}}(1\frac{m}{s})^{2}=249.5N\\a_{net}=\frac{249.5N}{M_{b}}=\frac{249.5N}{250kg}=0.99\frac{m}{s^{2}}

where we take v=1m/s because we are taking into account tha velocity just after the rain stars.

I hope this is useful for you

regards
