Un tubo cilindrico hueco de cobre mide 3 m de longitud tienen un diametro exterior de 4cm y un diametro interior de 2 cm¿cuanto

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

W = 9.93 10² N

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we must use the concept of density

ρ = m / V

the tabulated density of copper is rho = 8966 kg / m³

let's find the volume of the cylindrical tube

V = A L

V = π (R_ext ² - R_int ²) L

let's calculate

V = π (4² - 2²) 10⁻⁴ 3

V = 1.13 10⁻² m³

m = ρ V

m = 8966 1.13 10⁻²

m = 1.01 10² kg

the weight of the tube

W = mg

W = 1.01 10² 9.8

W = 9.93 10² N

Calculate the maximal friction force for a parked car between the rubber tires and a wet street. Assume the car’s mass is 1600 k

NikAS [45]

Answer:

$Fr=12544N$

Explanation:

1. Find the equation of eht maximal friction force:

The maximal friction force is given by the equation $Fr=usmg$ , where μs is the static friction coefficient, m is the car´s mass and g is the gravitational force.

2. Replace values in the equation to find the answer:

$Fr=0.8*1600kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

$Fr=12544N$

A voltage V is applied to the primary coil of a step-up transformer with a 3:1 ratio of turns between its primary and secondary

Snezhnost [94]

Explanation:

Let $N_p\ and\ N_s$ are the number of turns in primary and secondary coil of the transformer such that,

$\dfrac{N_p}{N_s}=\dfrac{1}{3}$

A resistor R connected to the secondary dissipates a power $P_s=100\ W$

For a transformer, $\dfrac{N_s}{N_p}=\dfrac{V_s}{V_p}$

$V_s=(\dfrac{N_s}{N_p})V_p$

$V_s=3V_p$ ...............(1)

The power dissipated through the secondary coil is :

$P_s=\dfrac{V_s^2}{R}$

$100\ W=\dfrac{V_s^2}{R}$

$V_p^2=\dfrac{100R}{9}$ .............(2)

Let $N_p'\ and\ N_s'$ are the new number of turns in primary and secondary coil of the transformer such that,

$\dfrac{N_p'}{N_s'}=\dfrac{1}{24}$

New voltage is :

$V_s'=(\dfrac{N_s'}{N_p'})V_p'$

$V_s'=24V_p$ ...............(3)

So, new power dissipated is $P_s'$

$P_s'=\dfrac{V_s'^2}{R}$

$P_s'=\dfrac{(24V_p)^2}{R}$

$P_s'=24^2\times \dfrac{(V_p)^2}{R}$

$P_s'=24^2\times \dfrac{(\dfrac{100R}{9})}{R}$

$P_s'=6400\ Watts$

So, the new power dissipated by the same resistor is 6400 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

Explain how neurons convey information using both electrical and chemical signals.

8090 [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

Neurons communicate via both electrical signals and chemical signals. The electrical signals are action potentials, which transmit the information from one of a neuron to the other; the chemical signals are neurotransmitters, which transmit the information from one neuron to the next.

The electrical signal travels down the axon to the axon terminals where it tells the vesicles to release the neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft which travel to the receptors of the receiving cell which releases the second messengers
