Answer:

t = 141.55 years

Explanation:

As we know that the radius of the wire is

r = 2.00 cm

so crossectional area of the wire is given as

$A = \pi r^2$

$A = \pi(0.02)^2$

$A = 1.26 \times 10^{-3} m^2$

now we know the free charge density of wire as

$n = 8.50 \times 10^{28}$

so drift speed of the charge in wire is given as

$v_d = \frac{i}{neA}$

$v_d = \frac{1190}{(8.50 \times 10^{28})(1.6 \times 10^{-19})(1.26\times 10^{-3})}$

$v_d = 6.96 \times 10^{-5} m/s$

now the time taken to cover whole length of wire is given as

$t = \frac{L}{v_d}$

$t = \frac{310 \times 10^3}{6.96 \times 10^{-5}}$

$t = 4.46 \times 10^9 s$

$t = 141.55 years$

How does the temperature affect the phase of water

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Temperature affects phase change by slowing down the movement in between the atoms, thus causing a change in kinetic energy, which in turn causes the atoms to undergo forms of combining or a type of disepersion.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy while being the reason phase changes are constant, Kinetic Energy can be caused by other means. Pressure and temperature can affect many other states kinetic energy, which in turn can affect each state of matter. Making a group of atoms or compounds compacts will force the atoms to move closer together thus with a lower net kinetic energy energy. Reducing temperature also works along the same lines. Colder temperatures can slow down atomic movements which in turn will naturally make each atom move close to each other.

With all of the information provided, it is only feasible that pressure and temperature are directly corresponding with the matter and atomic phase change

1. An object on Earth and the same object on the Moon would have a difference in

Feliz [49]

Answers: (1) a. weight, (2)b. Force changes by 2/9, (3)b. movement, (4)a. 40,000 Joules, (5)c. the soil will be 5°C.

<h2>Answer 1: a. weight</h2>

Mass and weight are very different concepts.

Mass is the amount of matter that exists in a body, which only depends on the quantity and type of particles within it. This means mass is an intrinsic property of each body and remains the same regardless of where the body is located.

On the other hand, weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object and is directly proportional to the product of the mass $m$ of the body by the acceleration of gravity $g$ :

$W=m.g$

Then, since the Earth and the Moon have different values of gravity, t<u>he weight of an object in each place will vary</u>, but its mass will not.

<h2>Answer 2: b. Force changes by 2/9</h2>

According to the law of universal gravitation, which is a classical physical law that describes the gravitational interaction between different bodies with mass:

$F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}$ (1)

Where:

$F$ is the module of the force exerted between both bodies

$G$ is the universal gravitation constant

$m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ are the masses of both bodies.

$r$ is the distance between both bodies

If we double the mass of one object (for example $2m_{1}$ ) and triple the distance between both (for example $3r$ ). The equation (1) will be rewritten as:

$F=G\frac{2m_{1}m_{2}}{(3r)^2}$ (2)

$F=\frac{2}{9}G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}$ (3)

If we compare (1) and (2) we will be able to see the force changes by 2/9.

<h2>Answer 3: b. movement</h2>

The Work $W$ done by a Force $F$ refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is <u>moved</u> by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path.

When the applied force is constant and <u>the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel,</u> the equation to calculate it is:

$W=(F)(d)$

Now, <u>when they are not parallel, both directions form an angle</u>, let's call it $\alpha$ . In that case the expression to calculate the Work is:

$W=Fdcos{\alpha}$

Therefore, pushing on a rock accomplishes no work unless there is movement (independently of the fact that movement is parallel to the applied force or not).

<h2>Answer 4: a. 40,000 Joules</h2>

The Kinetic Energy is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mV^{2}$ (4)

Where $m$ is the mass of the body and $V$ its velocity

For the first case (kinetic energy $K_{1}=10000J$ for a car at $V_{1}=30 mph=13.4112m/s$ ):

$K_{1}=\frac{1}{2}mV_{1}^{2}$ (5)

Finding $m$ :

$m=\frac{2K_{1}}{V_{1}^{2}}$ (6)

$m=\frac{2(10000J)}{(13.4112m/s)^{2}}$ (7)

$m=111.197kg$ (8)

For the second case (unknown kinetic energy $K_{2}$ for a car with the same mass at $V_{2}=60 mph=26.8224m/s$ ):

$K_{2}=\frac{1}{2}mV_{2}^{2}$ (9)

$K_{2}=\frac{1}{2}(111.197kg)(26.8224m/s)^{2}$ (10)

$K_{2}=40000J$ (11)

<h2>Answer 5: c. the soil will be 5°C</h2>

The formula to calculate the amount of calories $Q$ is:

$Q=m. c. \Delta T$ (12)

Where:

$m$ is the mass

$c$ is the specific heat of the element. For water is $c_{w}=1 kcal/g\°C$ and for soil is $c_{s}=0.20 kcal/g\°C$

$\Delta T$ is the variation in temperature (the amount we want to find for both elements)

This means we have to clear $\Delta T$ from (12) :

$\Delta T=\frac{Q}{m.c}$ (13)

For Water:

$\Delta T_{w}=\frac{Q_{w}}{m_{w}.c_{w}}$ (14)

$\Delta T_{w}=\frac{1kcal}{(1kg)(1 kcal/g\°C)}$ (15)

$\Delta T_{w}=1\°C)}$ (16)

For Soil:

$\Delta T_{s}=\frac{Q_{s}}{m_{s.c_{s}}$ (17)

$\Delta T_{s}=\frac{1kcal}{(1kg)(0.20 kcal/g\°C)}$ (18)

$\Delta T_{s}=5\°C)}$ (19)

Hence the correct option is c.
