Find the resistance at 50°c of copper wire 2mm in diameter and 3m long
mr Goodwill [35]
0.0179 ohms for copper.

0.0184 ohms for annealed copper



Ď = R (A/l) where

Ď = electrical resistivity

R = electrical resistance of a uniform specimen

A = cross sectional area

l = length



Solve for R by multiplying both sides by l/A

R = Ď(l/A)



The cross section of the wire is pi * 1^2 mm = 3.14159 square mm = 3.14159e-6 square meters.

The length is 3 meters. So l/A = 3/3.14159e-6 = 9.5493e5



Ď for copper is 1.68e-8 so 1.68e-8 * 9.5493e5 = 1.60e-2 ohms at 20 C

But copper has a temperature coefficient (α) of 0.00386 per degree C.

So the resistance value needs to be adjusted based upon how far from 20 C the temperature is.

50 - 20 = 30 C

So 0.00386 * 30 = 0.1158 meaning that the actual resistance at 50 C will be 11.58% higher.

So 1.1158 * 0.016 = 0.0179 ohms.



If you're using annealed copper, the values for Ď and the temperature coefficient change.

Ď = 1.72e-8

α = 0.00393



Doing the math, you get

1.72e-8 * 9.5493e5 * (1 + 30 * 0.00393) = 0.0184 ohms

A 1.5kg cannon is loaded with a 0.52 kg ball . The cannon is ignited and launches the ball forward with speed of 75m/s. Determin
Mila [183]

Answer:

-26 m/s (backward)

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum.

In fact, the total momentum momentum of the cannon + ball system must be conserved before and after the explosion.

Before the explosion, they are both at rest, so the total momentum is zero:

p = 0

After the explosion, the total momentum is:

p=MV+mv

where

M = 1.5 kg is the mass of the cannon

m = 0.52 kg is the mass of the ball

v = +75 m/s is the velocity of the ball

V is the velocity of the cannon

Since the momentum is conserved, we can equate the two expressions:

0=MV+mv

And solving, we find V:

V=-\frac{mv}{M}=-\frac{(0.52)(+75)}{1.5}=-26 m/s

where the negative sign means the direction is opposite to that of the ball.

A shuttle bus slows down with an average acceleration of -2.4 m/s2. How long does it
olganol [36]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 3.75 \ seconds }}

Explanation:

Average acceleration is found by dividing the change in acceleration by the time.

a=\frac{ v_f-v_i}{t}

The shuttle bus has an acceleration of -2.4 meters per square second. It slows from 9.0 meters per second to rest, or 0 meters per second. Therefore:

a= -2.4 \ m/s^2 \\v_f= 0 \ m/s \\v_i= 9 \ m/s

Substitute the values into the formula.

-2.4 \ m/s^2=\frac{0 \ m/s - 9 \ m/s}{t }

Solve the numerator.

-2.4 \ m/s^2 = \frac{-9 \ m/s}{t}

We want to solve for t, the time. We have to isolate the variable. Let's cross multiply.

\frac{-2.4 \ m/s^2}{1} = \frac{-9 \ m/s}{t}

-9 \ m/s *1= -2.4 \ m/s^2 *t

-9 \ m/s=-2.4 m/s^2*t

t is being multiplied by -2.4. The inverse of multiplication is division, so divide both sides by -2.4

\frac{-9 \ m/s }{-2.4 \ m/s^2} =\frac{ -2.4 \ m/s^2*t}{-2.4 \ m/s^2}

\frac{-9 \ m/s }{-2.4 \ m/s^2} =t

3.75 \ s=t

It takes <u>3.75 seconds.</u>
