Answer:

(a) The power wasted for 0.289 cm wire diameter is 15.93 W

(b) The power wasted for 0.417 cm wire diameter is 7.61 W

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of the wire, d = 0.289 cm = 0.00289 m

voltage of the wire, V = 120 V

Power drawn, P = 1850 W

The resistivity of the wire, ρ = 1.68 x 10⁻⁸ Ω⋅m

Area of the wire;

A = πd²/4

A = (π x 0.00289²) / 4

A = 6.561 x 10⁻⁶ m²

(a) At 26 m of this wire, the resistance of the is

R = ρL / A

R = (1.68 x 10⁻⁸  x 26) / 6.561 x 10⁻⁶

R = 0.067 Ω

Current in the wire is calculated as;

P = IV

I = P / V

I = 1850 / 120

I = 15.417 A

Power wasted = I²R

Power wasted = (15.417²)(0.067)

Power wasted = 15.93 W

(b) when a diameter of 0.417 cm is used instead;

d = 0.417 cm = 0.00417 m

A = πd²/4

A = (π x 0.00417²) / 4

A = 1.366 x 10⁻⁵ m²

Resistance of the wire at 26 m length of wire and  1.366 x 10⁻⁵ m² area;

R = ρL / A

R = (1.68 x 10⁻⁸  x 26) / 1.366 x 10⁻⁵

R = 0.032 Ω

Power wasted = I²R

Power wasted = (15.417²)(0.032)

Power wasted = 7.61 W

The critical angle for water is 49°. If a ray of light
Sonja [21]

Answer:

Snell's Law states

Ni sin i = Nr sin r

Judging from the question the source of the ray is in the water (directed up)

or NI = 1 / sin 49      Ni = 1.325 deg     the critical angle

From inside the pond:

Nr = 1.325 * sin 45 / 1 = 94 deg  

So refraction can occur  outside the pond and you do not have total internal refection.

Calculate the period of a spring if it has a mass of 5 kg and a spring constant of 6 N/m
otez555 [7]

Answer: The period of a spring if it has a mass of 5 kg and a spring constant of 6 N/m is 5.73 sec.

Explanation:

Given: Mass = 5 kg

Spring constant = 6 N/m

Formula used to calculate period is as follows.

T = 2 \pi \sqrt\frac{m}{k}

where,

T = period

m = mass

k = spring constant

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

T = 2 \pi \sqrt\frac{m}{k}\\= 2 \times 3.14 \times \sqrt\frac{5}{6}\\= 5.73 s

Thus, we can conclude that the period of a spring if it has a mass of 5 kg and a spring constant of 6 N/m is 5.73 sec.

A 0.15 kg ball is moving with a velocity of<br> 35 m/s. Find the momentum of the ball.
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

<h2>5.25 kg.m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The momentum of an object can be found by using the formula

momentum = mass × velocity

From the question we have

momentum = 0.15 × 35

We have the final answer as

<h3>5.25 kg.m/s</h3>

Hope this helps you

A ray of light in air is incident on the mid-point of a heavy flint glass prism surface at an angle of 20º with the normal. for
Nata [24]
Assuming that you have a triangular prism, the ray of light will undergo refraction twice. The first time is the transition from air to flint glass on the entry face, and the second time is the transition from the flint glass to air from the exit face. With the available data, there are two possible solution since saying "20Âş from the normal" isn't enough information. Depending upon which side of the normal that 20 degrees is, the interior triangle will have the angles of 35, 90-r, and 55+r, or 35, 90+r, 55-r degrees where r is the angle from the normal after the 1st refraction. I will provide both possible solutions and you'll need to actually select the correct one based upon the actual geometry which I don't know because you didn't provide the figure or diagram that you were provided with.    

The equation for refraction is:  

(sin a1)/(sin a2) = n1/n2  

where  

a1,a2 = angles from the normal to the surface.  

n1,n2 = index of refraction for the transmission mediums.    

For this problem, we've been given an a1 of 20Âş and an n1 of 1.60. For n2, we will use air which at STP has an index of refraction of 1.00029. So  

(sin a1)/(sin a2) = n1/n2  

(sin 20)/(sin a2) = 1.00029/1.60  

0.342020143/(sin a2) = 0.62518125  

0.342020143 = 0.62518125(sin a2)  

0.547073578 = sin a2  

asin(0.547073578) = a2  

33.16647891 = a2    

So the angle from the normal INSIDE the prism is 33.2Âş. The resulting angle from the surface of the entry face will be either 90-33.2 or 90+33.2 depending upon the geometry. So the 2 possible triangles will be either 35Âş, 56.8Âş, 88.2Âş or 35Âş, 123.2Âş, 21.8Âş. with a resulting angle from the normal of either 1.8Âş or 68.2Âş. I can't tell you which one is correct since you didn't tell me which side of the normal the incoming ray came from. So let's calculate both possible exits.    

1.8Âş  

(sin a1)/(sin a2) = n1/n2  

(sin 1.8)/(sin a2) = 1.6/1.00029  

0.031410759/(sin a2) = 1.599536135  

0.031410759= 1.599536135(sin a2)  

0.019637418= sin(a2)  

asin(0.019637418) = a2  

1.125213477 = a2    

68.2Âş  

(sin a1)/(sin a2) = n1/n2  

(sin 68.2)/(sin a2) = 1.6/1.00029  

0.928485827/(sin a2) = 1.599536135  

0.928485827 = 1.599536135(sin a2)  

0.58047193 = sin a2 

 asin(0.58047193) = a2 

 35.48374252 = a2   

 So if the interior triangle is acute, the answer is 1.13Âş and if the interior triangle is obtuse, the answer is 35.48Âş
