A 11.7-Ω resistor is made from a coil of copper wire whose total mass is 13.5 g . The resistivity of copper is 1.68×10−8Ω⋅m, the
Andrej [43]

Answer:

a) d = 7.62 10⁻⁶ m, b)    l = 3.25 10⁴ m

Explanation:

Resistance is expressed by the formula

     R = ρ l / A                       (1)

density is defined by

     density = m / V

the volume of a wire is the cross section by the length

     V = A l

we substitute

     density = m / A l

     A = m / density l

we substitute in 1

     R = ρ l density l / m

     R =ρ density l² / m

     l = √ (R m /ρ density)

let's calculate the cable length

     l = √(11.7  13.5 10⁻³ / (1.68 10⁻⁸ 8.9 10³))

     l = √(10.56 10⁸)

     l = 3.25 10⁴ m

now we can find the cable diameter with the density equation

      A = m / density l

      A = 13.5 10⁻³ / (8.9 10³ 3.25 10⁴)

      A = 4,557 10⁻¹¹ m²

the area of ​​the circle is

      A = π r² = π d² / 4

      d = √ (4A /π)

      d = √ (4 4,557 10⁻¹¹/π)

      d = 7.62 10⁻⁶ m

How many grams of CO-60 result in 1 Millicuire of activity? How many years until the activity decays to 1 microcuire tl/2 =5.3 Y
vredina [299]

Answer:

m =8.81*10^{-6}grams

time t = 52.8 year

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

the half life of the CO-60 is, T_1/2 = 5.27 years = 1.663 e+8 s

activity dN/dt = 1 mCi = 3.7 X 10^7 decay/s

activity ,  dN/dt = N* \lambda

              \frac{dN}{dt} = N* \frac{ln2}{T_1/2}

                   N = \frac{(dN/dt )(T1/2)}{ln2}

                      = ( 3.7 X 10^7 )(1.663*10^8 ) / ln2

                      = 8.877*10^{16}

Number of moles:

     n = N/NA = 8.877*10^{16} / 6.022X10^23 = 1.474*10^{-7} mol

mass of the CO-60 is,

   m = n*M = [1.474*10^{-7} mol]*[59.93 grams /mol] = 8.81*10^{-6}grams

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    time t = -[T1/2 / ln2]*ln[N/N0]

             = - [5.3 years / ln2]*ln[1x10-6/1x10-3]

             = 52.8 year

What is the difference in the speed of the generator with a small magnet and a generator with a large magnet?
Delvig [45]
With a small magnet with a generator it will be taken up quickly because how small it is while with a big generator it would take more force for it for the generator to attach because the larger the magnet that heavier it will be because it is attached to the North Pole magnet

A Viking ship roller coaster at the fair has a mass of 36,000 kg. If at its peak it reaches a height of 20 m off the ground, how
adell [148]

Answer:

7056 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a ship roller coaster is 36,000 kg.

It reaches a height of 20 m off the ground

We need to find the gravitational potential energy does it have. The formula for the gravitational potential energy ios given by :

E = mgh

g is acceleration due to gravity

E = 36,000 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 20 m

= 7056000 J

or

E = 7056 kJ

So, it will have 7056 kJ of gravitational potential energy.

The earth exerts the necessary centripetal force on an orbiting satellite to keep it moving in a circle at constant speed. Which
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

E) The centripetal force is always perpendicular to the velocity.

Explanation:

Due to gravity and inertia, the satellite follows a uniform circular motion. In this movement, the velocity is always tangent to the orbit and the centripetal force is directed towards the center. Therefore, there is no net acceleration in the same direction of velocity, which implies that it remains constant.
