Answer:

(a) θ = 33.86°

(b) Ay = 49.92 N

Explanation:

You have that the magnitude of a vector is A = 89.6 N

The x component of such a vector is Ax = 74.4 N

(a) To find the angle between the vector and the x axis you use the following formula for the calculation of the x component of a vector:

$A_x=Acos\theta$ (1)

Ax: x component of vector A

A: magnitude of vector A

θ: angle between vector A and the x axis

You solve the equation (1) for θ, by using the inverse of cosine function:

$\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{A_x}{A})=cos{-1}(\frac{74.4N}{89.6N})\\\\\theta=33.86\°$

the angle between the A vector and the x axis is 33.86°

(b) The y component of the vector is given by:

$A_y=Asin\theta\\\\A_y=(89.6N)sin(33.86\°)=49.92N$

the y comonent of the vecor is Ay = 49.92 N

A copper cable needs to carry a current of 160 A with a power loss of only 2.0 W/m. What is the required radius of the copper ca

lesantik [10]

Answer:

The radius of the cable is 0.0083 m or 8.3 mm.

Explanation:

The resistance of copper cable of 1 meter length will be given by

$R_{cable} = \frac{\rho \times l}{a}$ .... (i)

where the resistivity of copper is $\rho = 1.7 \times 10^{-8} \Omega.m$ , and l is the length of the wire which is considered to be 1m, and a is the cross sectional area of the wire in $m^{2}$ .

From the formula of power we know that, $P = I^2 R$ .... (ii)

Therefore 2 W/m = $(160)^2 \times R$ .... (iii)

where the resistance,R, actually means the resistance of the cable per meter.

Therefore R ( resistance of cable per meter)

= $\frac{2}{160^2} = 7.812 \times 10^{-5}$ ohms / meter. .... (iv)

Therefore from (i)

$7.812 \times 10^{-5}$ = $\frac{1.7 \times 10^{-8} \times 1}{a} = \frac{1.7 \times 10^{-8} \times 1}{\pi r^{2} }$ ..... (v)

where cross sectional area of the cable, a = $\pi r^2$ ,

where r is the radius of the cable, and length of cable,l = 1m.

Therefore r = $\sqrt{\frac{ 1.7 \times 10^{-8}}{\pi \times 7.812 \times 10^{-5} } } = 0.0083m = 8.3 mm$

A). No. Condensation happens when you take heat out of a gas.

b). No. I'm not sure what transpiration is.

<u>c). Yes.</u> Evaporation happens when you add heat to a liquid.

d). No. Sublimation sometimes happens when you add heat to a solid.

if an object is moving at a constant speed in a changing direction, What is the acceleration of the object (zero or not zero)

Andreas93 [3]

We know, acceleration is the change of velocity by time.
Velocity is the speed of an object which also indicates the direction.
Hence, acceleration is both dependant upon the speed as well as the direction.
So, if an object is moving at a constant speed in a changing direction, the acceleration will also change. It will not be zero.
An example is that of uniform circular motion.

Answer:

if an object is moving at a constant speed in a changing direction, the acceleration of the object will not be zero.

A 1.50-mm-diameter glass sphere has a charge of + 1.60 nC. What speed does an electron need to orbit the sphere 1.60 mm above th

saveliy_v [14]

Answer :

Velocity will be $3.28\times 10^{-11}m/sec$

Explanation:

We have given glass surface has a diameter of 1.5 mm

And charge q = 1.60 nC

Radius of electrons orbit r = height of electron above surface + radius of sphere = $=1.6+\frac{1.5}{2}=2.35mm = 0.00235m$

Force on electron is given by $F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{qe}{r^2}$ , here q is charge on sphere and e is charge on electron

$F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{qe}{r^2}=\frac{kqe}{r^2}=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 1.6\times 10^{-9}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{0.00235^2}=4.172\times 10^{-13}N$

This force work as centripetal force

So $F=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

$4.172\times 10^{-13}=\frac{9.11\times 10^{-31}v^2}{0.00235}$

v = $=0.0328\times 10^{-9}=3.28\times 10^{-11}m/sec$
