A 310-km-long high-voltage transmission line 2.00 cm in diameter carries a steady current of 1,010 A. If the conductor is copper

with a free charge density of 8.50 1028 electrons per cubic meter, how many years does it take one electron to travel the full length of the cable? (Use 3.156 107 for the number of seconds in a year.)

Answer:

t = 166 years

Explanation:

In order to calculate the amount of years that electrons take to cross the complete transmission line. You first calculate the drift speed of the electrons by using the following formula:

v_d=\frac{I}{nqA}             (1)

I: current on the wire = 1,010A

n: free charge density = 8.50*10^28 electrons/m^3

A: cross-sectional area of the transmission line = π*r^2

r: radius of the cross-sectional area = 2.00cm = 0.02m

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1):

v_d=\frac{1,010A}{(8.50*10^{28}electron/m^3)(1.6*10^{-19}C)(\pi (0.02m)^2)}\\\\v_d=5.9*10^{-5}\frac{m}{s}

Next, you use the following formula:

t=\frac{x}{v_d}                     (2)

x: length of the line transmission = 310km = 310,000m

You replace the values of vd and x in the equation (2):

t=\frac{310,000m}{5.9*10^{-5}m/s}=5.24*10^9s

Finally, you convert the obtained t to seconds

t=5.24*10^9s*\frac{1\ year}{3.156*10^7s}=166.03\ years

The electrons take approximately 166 years to travel trough the complete transmission line

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

2,400kg * m/s

Explanation:

You are missing some information in the question but the rest could be found some where else.

The question gives the masses and starting velocity of each car.

Car 1: m = 600kg and sv = 4m/s

Car 2: m 400kg and sv = 0m/s

Find the momentum of both cars.

Car 1: 600 * 4 = 2400

Car 2: 400 * 0 = 0

Add both.

2400 + 0 = 2400

Best of Luck!

You have a spring-loaded air rifle. When it is loaded, the spring is compressed 0.3 m and has a spring constant of 150 N/m. In j
Feliz [49]

The potential energy of the spring is 6.75 J

The elastic potential energy stored in the spring is given by the equation:

E= \frac{1}{2} kx^2

where;

k is the spring constant

x is the compression/stretching of the string

In this problem, we have the spring as follows:

k = 150 N/m is the spring constant

x = 0.3 m is the compression

Substituting in the equation, we get

E=\frac{1}{2} (150) (0.3)^2

E=6.75J

Therefore. the elastic potential energy stored in the spring is 6.75J .
