You are out on a hike, and you notice that the line of telephone wires you have been following along a slope is crooked. Two of

the posts are much farther down slope then the others. What has likely occurred on this hillside?
Explain.

A power plant produces 1000 MW to supply a city 40 km away. Current flows from the power plant on a single wire of resistance 0.

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Current = 8696 A

Fraction of power lost = $\dfrac{80}{529}$ = 0.151

Explanation:

Electric power is given by

$P=IV$

where I is the current and V is the voltage.

$I=\dfrac{P}{V}$

Using values from the question,

$I=\dfrac{1000\times10^6 \text{ W}}{115\times10^3\text{ V}} = 8696 \text{ A}$

The power loss is given by

$P_\text{loss} = I^2R$

where R is the resistance of the wire. From the question, the wire has a resistance of $0.050\Omega$ per km. Since resistance is proportional to length, the resistance of the wire is

$R = 0.050\times40 = 2\Omega$

Hence,

$P_\text{loss} = \left(\dfrac{200000}{23}\right)^2\times2$

The fraction lost = $\dfrac{P_\text{loss}}{P}=\left(\dfrac{200000}{23}\right)^2\times2\div (1000\times10^6)=\dfrac{80}{529}=0.151$

A ball of mass 0.150 kg is dropped from rest from a height of 1.25 m. It rebounds from the floor to reach a height of 0.665 m. W

Liula [17]

Answer:

Impulse is 1.239 kg.m/s in upward direction

Explanation:

Taking upward motion as positive and downward motion as negative.

Downward motion:

Given:

Mass of ball (m) = 0.150 kg

Displacement of ball (S) = -1.25 m

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration is due to gravity (g) = -9.8 m/s²

Using equation of motion, we have:

$v_d^2=u^2+2aS\\\\v=\pm\sqrt{u^2+2aS}\\\\v_d=\pm\sqrt{0+2\times -9.8\times -1.25}\\\\v_d=\pm\sqrt{24.5}=\pm4.95\ m/s$

Since, the motion is downward, final velocity must be negative. So,

$v_d=-4.95\ m/s$

Upward motion:

Given:

Displacement of ball (S) = 0.665 m

Initial velocity ( $v_d$ ) = 4.95 m/s(Upward direction)

Acceleration is due to gravity (g) = -9.8 m/s²

Using equation of motion, we have:

$v_{up}^2=v_d^2+2aS\\\\v_{up}=\pm\sqrt{v_d^2+2aS}\\\\v_{up}=\pm\sqrt{24.5+2\times -9.8\times 0.665}\\\\v_{up}=\pm\sqrt{10.966}=\pm3.31\ m/s$

Since, the motion is upward, final velocity must be positive. So,

$v_{up}=3.31\ m/s$

Now, impulse is equal to change in momentum. So,

Impulse = Final momentum - Initial momentum

$J=m(v_{up}-v_d)\\\\J=(0.150\ kg)(3.31-(-4.95))\ m/s\\\\J=0.150\ kg\times 8.26\ m/s\\\\J=1.239\ Ns$

Therefore, the impulse given to the ball by the floor is 1.239 kg.m/s in upward direction.

An electromagnetic wave has a frequency of 4.0 x 1018 Hz. What is the

trapecia [35]

Answer: D

Wavelength λ = 7.5 × 10^-11 m

Explanation:

You are given the frequency of an electromagnetic wave to be:

F = 4.0 x 1018 Hz. And the speed of light C to be

C = 3 × 10^8 m/s

From wave speed formula:

Wave speed is the product of waves frequency and wavelength. That is,

V = fλ

Where

f = frequency

λ = wavelength

V = C = speed of light

Substitute the values of the parameters into the formula

C = fλ

3 × 10^8 = 4 × 10^18 × λ

Make λ the subject of formula

λ = (3×10^8)/(4×10^18)

λ = 7.5 × 10^-11 m

Therefore, the wavelength of the wave is 7.5 × 10^-11 m

If the same elevator accelerates downwards

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The upward force exerted by the elevator floor on the passenger is 7.6 times mass of the passenger.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

A force in physics is an effect that has the power to alter an object's motion. An object with mass can change its velocity, or accelerate, as a result of a force. An obvious way to describe force is as a push or a pull. A force is a vector quantity since it has both magnitude and direction.

Given in question elevator accelerates downwards with an acceleration of 1.2 m/s². There is acceleration due to gravity working downward which is 9.8 m/s².

So, net acceleration due to gravity is given as 9.8 - 1.2 = 7.6 m/s²

The upward force exerted by the elevator floor on the passenger is mass times acceleration, 7.6 times mass of passenger.
