Answer:

The maximum potential difference is 186.02 x 10¹⁵ V

Explanation:

formula for calculating maximum potential difference

V = \frac{2K_e \lambda}{k}ln(\frac{b}{a})

where;

Ke is coulomb's constant = 8.99 x 10⁹ Nm²/c²

k is the dielectric constant = 2.3

b is the outer radius of the conductor = 3 mm

a is the inner radius of the conductor = 0.8 mm

λ is the linear charge density = 18 x 10⁶ V/m

Substitute in these values in the above equation;

V = \frac{2K_e \lambda}{k}ln(\frac{b}{a}) =  \frac{2*8.99*10^9*18*10^6 }{2.3}ln(\frac{3}{0.8}) =140.71 *10^{15} *1.322 \\\\V= 186.02 *10^{15} \ V

Therefore, the maximum potential difference this cable can withstand is 186.02 x 10¹⁵ V

A straight wire of length 0.62 m carries a conventional current of 0.7 amperes. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field made
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Magnetic field at point having a distance of 2 cm from wire is 6.99 x 10⁻⁶ T

Explanation:

Magnetic field due to finite straight wire at a point perpendicular to the wire is given by the relation :

B=\frac{\mu_{0}I }{2\pi R }\times\frac{L}{\sqrt{L^{2}+R^{2}  } }      ......(1)

Here I is current in the wire, L is the length of the wire, R is the distance of the point from the wire and μ₀ is vacuum permeability constant.

In this problem,

Current, I = 0.7 A

Length of wire, L = 0.62 m

Distance of point from wire, R = 2 cm = 2 x 10⁻² m = 0.02 m

Vacuum permeability, μ₀ = 4π x 10⁻⁷ H/m

Substitute these values in equation (1).

B=\frac{4\pi\times10^{-7}\times  0.7 }{2\pi \times0.02 }\times\frac{0.62}{\sqrt{(0.62)^{2}+(0.02) ^{2}  } }

B = 6.99 x 10⁻⁶ T

How do streams change as they flow from mountains down to plains? Plz help URGENT I need it today
lisov135 [29]
They start as one stream, then get curvier, then empy into a delta. A delta is a ton of streams of water. It is one, then empties out into a ton of streams.

As a 15000 kg jet plane lands on an aircraft carrier, its tail hook snags a cable to slow it down. The cable is attached to a sp
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

60 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy,

The kinetic energy of the plane = Energy of store in the spring when the plane lands.

1/2mv²  = 1/2ke²

making v the subject of the equation.

v = √(ke²/m).................... Equation 1

Where  v = the plane landing speed, k = spring constant, e = extension. m = mass of the plane.

Given: m = 15000 kg, k = 60000 N/m, e = 30 m.

Substitute into equation 1

v = √(60000×30²/15000)

v = √(4×900)

v = √(3600)

v = 60 m/s.

Hence the plane's landing speed = 60 m/s

A tennis player standing 12.6m from the net hits the ball at 3.00 degrees above the horizontal. To clear the net, the ball must
mezya [45]
We actually don't need to know how far he/she is standing from the net, as we know that the ball reaches its maximum height (vertex) at the net. At the vertex, it's vertical velocity is 0, since it has stopped moving up and is about to come back down, and its displacement is 0.33m. So we use v² = u² + 2as (neat trick I discovered just then for typing the squared sign: hold down alt and type 0178 on ur numpad wtih numlock on!!!) ANYWAY....... We apply v² = u² + 2as in the y direction only. Ignore x direction. 
IN Y DIRECTION: v² = u² + 2as 0 = u² - 2gh u = √(2gh) (Sub in values at the very end) 
So that will be the velocity in the y direction only. But we're given the angle at which the ball is hit (3° to the horizontal). So to find the velocity (sum of the velocity in x and y direction on impact) we can use: sin 3° = opposite/hypotenuse = (velocity in y direction only) / (velocity) So rearranging, velocity = (velocity in y direction only) / sin 3° = √(2gh)/sin 3° = (√(2 x 9.8 x 0.33)) / sin 3° = 49 m/s at 3° to the horizontal (2 sig figs)

A 100-g toy car is propelled by a compressed spring that starts it moving. the car follows a curved track. what is the final spe
wel

Answer:

0.687 m/s

Explanation:

Initial energy = final energy

1/2 mu² = mgh + 1/2 mv²

1/2 u² = gh + 1/2 v²

Given u = 2.00 m/s, g = 9.8 m/s², and h = 0.180 m:

1/2 (2.00 m/s)² = (9.8 m/s²) (0.180 m) + 1/2 v²

v = 0.687 m/s
