What happens if we nuke a city?

2 answers:

The shadow would subsequently drop the temperature in the city, forcing warmer air to rush in and violently destroy countless buildings. There would also be “black rain,” which would be the radioactive ash and dust that would liquify and pour down on the city and we would all die.

Answer:

Those who survived the bomb may become deaf or blind, as well as suffer catastrophic burns and injuries. Even people who were not seriously injured could become trapped within a structure or unable to navigate through the wreckage.

A 500-W heating coil designed to operate from 110V is made of Nichrome wire 0.500 mm in diameter. (b) What If? Now consider the

melamori03 [73]

The power delivered to the coil is 721.31 Watts

<h3>How to determine the power</h3>

Given that;

Power of the heating coil = 500W
Voltage = 110V
Diameter of the Nichrome wire = 0. 500mm, radius = 0. 500/2 = 0. 00025m

But the formula for power is given a;

Power, P = V²/R

Then , R = V²/P

R = (110)²/ 500 = 24. 2Ω

To determine the length,

Length, L = RA/ ρ

L = 24. 2 × ( 0. 0025)² × 3. 142/ 10^-6

L = 4. 32m

We also have that;

Resistance, R = Ro( 1 + α ΔT)

R = 24. 2 ( 1 + 0. 0004 × 1180)

R = 35. 62Ω

Current, I = V R

Current, I = 110/24.2 = 4. 5 A

Power delivered = I²R = (4.5)² × 35. 62 = 721.31 Watts

Thus, the power delivered to the coil is 721.31 Watts

By what factor must we increase the amplitude of vibration of an object at the end of a spring in order to double its maximum sp

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

$A'=2A$

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy of the system can be expresed as the sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy:

$E=U+K=\frac{kA^2}{2}\\E=\frac{kx^2}{2}+\frac{mv^2}{2}=\frac{kA^2}{2}$

When the spring is in its equilibrium position, that is $x=0$ , the object speed its maximum. So, we have:

$\frac{k(0)^2}{2}+\frac{mv_{max}^2}{2}=\frac{kA^2}{2}\\A^2=\frac{mv_{max}^2}{k}\\A=\sqrt{\frac{mv_{max}^2}{k}}$

In order to double its maximum speed, that is $v'{max}=2v_{max}$ . We have:

$A'=\sqrt{\frac{m(v'_{max})^2}{k}}\\A'=\sqrt{\frac{m(2v_{max})^2}{k}}\\A'=\sqrt{\frac{4mv_{max}^2}{k}}\\A'=2\sqrt{\frac{mv_{max}^2}{k}}\\A'=2A$

Coulomb is a very large unit for practical use. Justify your answer if 10^10 electrons are transferred from a body/second

zlopas [31]

Given:

10^10 electrons per second

To justify that coulomb is a very large unit for practical use, we need to convert the quantity of electron given to Coulombs:

From literature,

1 Coulomb is equivalent to 6.242×10^18 electrons<span>.

So,

= 10^10 electrons * (1 coulomb/</span><span>6.242×10^18</span> electrons) / second
<span>= 1.602 x 10^-9 coulumbs

This value is too small to be used in an actual setting.

Distance = 5000km = 5 x 10⁶m

Unknown:

time taken = ?

Solution:

We use the normal speed equation to solve this problem as we take the speed of the wave to be 3 x 10⁸m/s.
