1) Consider an electric power transmission line that carries a constant electric current of i = 500 A. The cylindrical copper ca

ble used to transmit this current has a diameter o = 2.00 cm and a length L = 150 km. If there are 8.43x10^28 free electrons per cubic meter (m^3 ) in the cable, calculate how long it would take for an electron to cross the entire length of the transmitter line.

Answer:  

t = 1.27 x 10⁹ s  

Explanation:  

First, we will find the volume of the wire:

Volume = V = AL  

where,  

A = Cross-sectional area of wire = πr² = π(1 cm)² = π(0.01 m)² = 3.14 x 10⁻⁴ m²  

L = Length of wire = 150 km = 150000 m  

Therefore,    

V = 47.12 m³

 

Now, we will find the number of electrons in the wire:  

No. of electrons = n = (Electrons per unit Volume)(V)  

n = (8.43 x 10²⁸ electrons/m³)(47.12 m³)  

n = 3.97 x 10³⁰ electrons  

Now, we will use the formula of current to find out the time taken by each electron to cross the wire:

I =\frac{q}{t}  

where,  

t = time = ?  

I = current = 500 A  

q = total charge = (n)(chareg on one electron)  

q = (3.97 x 10³⁰ electrons)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C/electron)  

q = 6.36 x 10¹¹ C  

500\ A = \frac{6.36\ x\ 10^{11}\ C}{t}\\\\t = \frac{6.36\ x\ 10^{11}\ C}{500\ A}

Therefore,

<u>t = 1.27 x 10⁹ s</u>

Use this table of a school bus during morning pickups to calculate its average speed between 0 h and 2.340 h.
Gelneren [198K]

The average speed between 0 h and 2.340 h is 6.97 Km/h

Average speed is defined as the total distance travelled divided by the total time taken to cover the distance.

Average \: speed =  \frac{total \: distance}{total \: time}  \\  \\

With the above formula, we can obtain the average speed between 0 h and 2.340 h as illustrated below:

  • Total time = 2.340 – 0 = 2.340 h
  • Total distance = 16.3 – 0 = 16.3 Km
  • Average speed =?

Average \: speed =  \frac{total \: distance}{total \: time}  \\  \\Average \: speed =  \frac{16.3}{2.340}  \\  \\ Average \: speed = 6.97 \: Km/h \\  \\

Assuming 84.0% efficiency for the conversion of electrical power by the motor, what current must the 13.0-V batteries of a 716 k
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

\mathbf{ current(I) =1766.67 \ A}

Explanation:

Given that:

The air resistance and friction = 700 N

The gravity caused force = 716 × 9.8 = 7016.8

Total force = (7016.8 + 700) N

Total force = 7716.8 N

∴

13 \times  current(I) \times 0.84 = \dfrac{7716.8 \times 300}{2 \times 60}

current(I) \times 10.92= 19292

current(I) = \dfrac{19292}{10.92}

\mathbf{ current(I) =1766.67 \ A}

A conservative force does the same work regardless of the path taken.
ella [17]

A conservative force is a force that when work is done against this force the work done does not depend on the path taken only the initial and final position.

Question - Does gum affect a student's performance in school?
Mars2501 [29]

Independent variable: the interdependent variable in this example, could be a number of things but the main one is what type of brand is the gum and what kind is it.

Dependent variable: the dependent variable is what you are trying to find so in this case, you are trying to find does gum affect a student's performance.This is the Dependent variable.

Hope I helped!

Have a nice day,
