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>

Why are not all microorganism harmful?
son4ous [18]


In nature there are two categories of microorganisms as relating to health. Microorganisms that are considered harmful to humans are called pathogens and these cause disease. Examples include bacteria such as streptococcus which cause sore throat and salmonella which cause typhoid disease.

 There are some microorganisms which are helpful to man and they live mostly on the skin of man or in his gut and are mostly bacteria. They are collectively called bacterial normal flora.

In man the normal bacterial flora of the skin include staphylococcus found on dry skin, cornybacteria found in moist skin sites and propionibacteria in the sebaceous sites (head, neck, trunk) of the body. Normal bacterial flora of the gut include Escherichia coli.

One of the major function of bacterial flora is actually to protect our bodies  by competing for space with pathogens preventing them from gaining a foothold in our bodies.

You're driving down the highway late one night at 22 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 38 m in front of you. Your reaction tim
sleet_krkn [62]

speed of the car is given on the road

v = 22 m/s

reaction time is given as

t = 0.50 s

now we can find the distance that it will move during this reaction time

d_1 = 22* 0.50 = 11 m

now the deceleration of the car is 10 m/s^2

so the distance that it will move before stop is given by

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0^2 - 22^2 = 2*(-10)*d

d = 24.2 m

so the total distance that it require to stop is given as

d = 24.2 + 11 = 35.2 m

while the deer is standing at distance 38 m

so the car will stop 2.8 m before the position of deer

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer: Thermal Energy is energy resulting from the motion of particles; It is a form of kinetic energy and is transferred as heat; Thermal Energy Transfer can occur by three methods: Conduction; Convection; Radiation; Conduction. Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact between . particles of a substance.

<span><span>Fuel Extraction and Production – Water is a critical resource for the drilling and mining of natural gas, coal, oil, and uranium. In many cases, fuel extraction also produces wastewater, as with natural gas and oil wells and coal slurry ponds.
</span><span>
Fuel Refining and Processing – Oil, uranium, and natural gas all require refining before they can be used as fuels – a process that uses substantial amounts of water.
</span><span>
Fuel Transportation – Water is used to transport coal through slurries — pipelines of finely ground coal mixed with water — and to test energy pipelines for leaks.[1]</span><span>Emissions Control – Many thermoelectric power plants emit sulfur, mercury, particulates, carbon dioxide, and other pollutants, and require pollution control technologies. These technologies also require significant amounts of water to operate.</span></span>

a stomp rocket takes 1.5 seconds to reach its maximum height what was the initial velocity and what was the maximum height ?
Zinaida [17]
1) Vf = Vo - gt; Vf = 0 => Vo = gt = 9.8m/s^2 * 1.5s = 14.7 m/s

2) d = Vo*t - gt^2 /2 = 14.7m/s*1.5 - 9.8m/s^2 * (1.5s)^2 / 2 = 11.02 m
