When a voltage difference is applied to a piece of metal wire, a 5.0 mA current flows through it. If this metal wire is now repl

aced with a silver wire having twice the diameter of the original wire, how much current will flow through the silver wire? The lengths of both wires are the same, and the voltage difference remains unchanged. (The resistivity of the original metal is 1.68 � 10-8 ? ? m, and the resistivity of silver is 1.59 � 10-8 ? ? m.)

Answer:

I = 21.13 mA ≈ 21 mA

Explanation:

If

I₁ = 5 mA

L₁ = L₂ = L

V₁ = V₂ = V

ρ₁ = 1.68*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m

ρ₂ = 1.59*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m

D₁ = D

D₂ = 2D

S₁ = 0.25*π*D²

S₂ = 0.25*π*(2*D)² = π*D²

If we apply the equation

R = ρ*L / S

where (using Ohm's Law):

R = V / I

we have

V / I = ρ*L / S

If V and L are the same

V / L =  ρ*I / S

then

(V / L)₁ = (V / L)₂  ⇒     ρ₁*I₁ / S₁ = ρ₂*I₂ / S₂

If

S₁ = 0.25*π*D²   and

S₂ = 0.25*π*(2*D)² = π*D²

we have

ρ₁*I₁ / (0.25*π*D²) = ρ₂*I₂ / (π*D²)

⇒    I₂ = 4*ρ₁*I₁ / ρ₂

⇒     I₂ = 4*1.68*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m*5 mA / 1.59*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m

⇒     I₂ = 21.13 mA

A wire 2.80 m in length carries a current of 5.20 A in a region where a uniform magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.430 T. Calcu
galina1969 [7]

Question:

A wire 2.80 m in length carries a current of 5.20 A in a region where a uniform magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.430 T. Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire assuming the following angles between the magnetic field and the current.

(a)60 (b)90 (c)120

Answer:

(a)5.42 N (b)6.26 N (c)5.42 N

Explanation:

From the question

Length of wire (L) = 2.80 m

Current in wire (I) = 5.20 A

Magnetic field (B) = 0.430 T

Angle are different in each part.

The magnetic force is given by

F=I \times B \times L \times sin(\theta)

So from data

F = 5.20 A \times 0.430 T \times 2.80 sin(\theta)\\\\F=6.2608 sin(\theta) N

Now sub parts

(a)

\theta=60^{o}\\\\Force = 6.2608 sin(60^{o}) N\\\\Force = 5.42 N

(b)

\theta=90^{o}\\\\Force = 6.2608 sin(90^{o}) N\\\\Force = 6.26 N

(c)

\theta=120^{o}\\\\Force = 6.2608 sin(120^{o}) N\\\\Force = 5.42 N

what is the potential energy of the ball when it gets to its maximum height just before falling back to the ground​
love history [14]

Answer:

I will say that the the potential energy will be at its maximum.

Explanation:

potential energy deals with gravity and gravity deals with height, so when a object is in its maximum height it will have the maximum potential energy.

A car moves with constant acceieration of -0.s m/s? on a straight portion of the road. Att- 0s the car has a velocity of 69 mph,
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

b) d = 0.71 Km

Explanation:

Car kinematics

Car 1 moves with uniformly accelerated movement

v_f^2=v_o^2+2a*d Formula (1)

d: displacement in meters (m)

v₀: initial speed in m/s

vf: final speed in m/s

a: acceleration in m/s²

Equivalences:

1mile = 1609.34 meters

1 hour = 3600s

1km = 1000m

Known data

v_o = 69\frac{mile}{hour} *1609.34\frac{meter}{mile} *\frac{1}{3600}\frac{hour}{s}=30.8 \frac{m}{s}

v_f= \frac{69}{2} \frac{mile}{hour} =34.5\frac{mile}{hour}=15.4 \frac{m}{s}

a = -0.5 m/s²

Distance calculation

We replace data in the Formula (1)

15.4^2 = 30.8^2+2(-0.5)*d

2(0.5)*d = 30.8^2 - 15.4^2

d =\frac{ 30.8^2 - 15.4^2}{2(0.5) }= 717.6m

d = 717.6 m\frac{1km}{1000m} = 0.7176Km
