A 2.0-mm-long, 1.0-mmmm-diameter wire has a variable resistivity given by rho(x)=(2.5×10−6)[1+(x1.0m)2]Ωmrho(x)=(2.5×10−6)[1+(x1

.0m)2]Ωm where xx is measured from one end of the wire.What is the current if this wire is connected to the terminals of a 17.0V battery?

Answer:

1.144 A

Explanation:

given that;

the length of the wire = 2.0 mm

the diameter of the wire = 1.0 mm

the variable resistivity R = \rho (x) =(2.5*10^{-6})[1+(\frac{x}{1.0 \ m})^2]

Voltage of the battery = 17.0 v

Now; the resistivity of the variable (dR) can be expressed as = \frac{\rho dx}{A}

dR = \frac{(2.5*10^{-6})[1+(\frac{x}{1.0})^2]}{\frac{\pi}{4}(10^{-3})^2}

Taking the integral of both sides;we have:

\int\limits^R_0  dR = \int\limits^2_0 3.185 \ [1+x^2] \ dx

R = 3.185 [x + \frac {x^3}{3}}]^2__0

R = 3.185 [2 + \frac {2^3}{3}}]

R = 14.863 Ω

Since V = IR

I = \frac{V}{R}

I = \frac{17}{14.863}

I = 1.144 A

∴  the current if this wire if it is connected to the terminals of a 17.0V battery = 1.144 A

A vacuum tube can be used to__. A. change alternating current into direct current B. increase the strength of a signal.. C. turn
vesna_86 [32]

The correct answer of this question is :  A) Change alternating current into direct current.

EXPLANATION :

As per the question, we are given vacuum tube. Vacuum tube can be of various types. Normally it contains two electrodes called cathode and anode which are enclosed in an evacuated glass chamber . There are also other types of vacuum tubes which contain extra electrodes like control grid .

The vacuum tube can be used as a rectifier. It means that it can be used as an electronic device which will convert alternating current into direct current. It may be a half wave rectifier or a full wave rectifier. Actually the direct current obtained during the rectification of alternating current is pulsating in nature.

Hence, the correct answer is that a vacuum tube can be used to change alternating current into direct current.

A baseball is thrown at an angle of 20° relative to the ground at a speed of 25 m/s if the ball was caught 50 m from the thrower
scoray [572]

Answer:

2.1 s

Explanation:

The motion of the ball is a projectile motion. We know that the horizontal range of the ball is

d = 50 m

And that the initial speed of the ball is

u=25 m/s

at an angle of

\theta=20^{\circ}

So, the horizontal speed of the ball (which is constant during the entire motion) is

u_x = u cos \theta = 25 \cdot cos 20^{\circ} = 23.5 m/s

And since the horizontal range is 50 m, the time taken for the ball to cover this distance was

t=\frac{d}{u_x}=\frac{50}{23.5}=2.1 s

which is the time the ball spent in air.
