Transmission Lines and Health. Currents in dc transmission lines can be 100 A or higher. Some people are concerned that the elec

tromagnetic fields from such lines near their homes could pose health dangers. For a line that has current 170 A and a height of 8.0 m above the ground, what magnetic field does the line produce at ground level? Express your answer in teslas and as a percentage of the earth’s magnetic field, which is 0.50 G. Is this value cause for worry?

Calculate the magnetic field strength at the ground. Treat the transmission line as infinitely long. The magnetic field strength is then given by:

B = μ₀I/(2πr)

B = magnetic field strength, μ₀ = magnetic constant, I = current, r = distance from line

Given values:

μ₀ = 4π×10⁻⁷H/m, I = 170A, r = 8.0m

Plug in and solve for B:

B = 4π×10⁻⁷(170)/(2π(8.0))

B = 4.25×10⁻⁶T

The earth's magnetic field strength is 0.50G or 5.0×10⁻⁵T. Calculate the ratio of the line's magnetic field strength to earth's magnetic field strength:

4.25×10⁻⁶/(5.0×10⁻⁵)

= 0.085

= 8.5%

The transmission line's magnetic field strength is 8.5% of that of earth's natural magnetic field. This is no cause for worry.

Answer:

25.13 cm

Explanation:

Mrs. Lynn's art class is making pencil holders out of soup cans

These soup cans are definitely in cylindrical forms.

Each student is first covering a can with felt.

A felt is a type of material that is used for covering other objects. Here a felt is used to cover soup cans.

So if the diameter of the bottom of the can is 8 cm (i.e d = 8cm)

What will the circumference of the piece of felt need to be in order to cover the bottom of the can?

The felt will also take the circumference of a cylinder; and which is given by the expression

C = 2 πr

since diameter (d) = 8 cm

radius (r) = \frac{d}{2}

r = \frac{8}{2}

r = 4 cm

C = 2 × π × 4 cm

C = 2 × 3.142 × 4 cm

C = 25.13 cm

∴ the circumference of the piece of felt need to be 25.13 cm in order to cover the bottom of the can.

What is the de Broglie wavelength for a proton with energy 50 keV? Due to the limitations of Canvas, please give the wavelength
ad-work [718]

Answer:

1.2826 x 10^-13 m

Explanation:

\lambda  = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m K}}

Here, k be the kinetic energy and m be the mass

K = 50 KeV = 50 x 1.6 x 10^-16 J = 80 x 10^-16 J

m = 1.67 x 10^-27 kg

\lambda  = \frac{6.63 \times  10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2 \times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 80\times 10^{-16}}}

λ = 1.2826 x 10^-13 m

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

C) True. S increases with time, v₁ = gt and v₂ = g (t-t₀)  we see that for the same t v₁> v₂

Explanation:

You have several statements and we must select which ones are correct. The best way to do this is to raise the problem.

Let's use the vertical launch equation. The positive sign because they indicate that the felt downward is taken as an opponent.

Stone 1

    y₁ = v₀₁ t + ½ g t²

    y₁ = 0 + ½ g t²

Rock2

It comes out a little later, let's say a second later, we can use the same stopwatch

     t ’= (t-t₀)

    y₂ = v₀₂ t ’+ ½ g t’²

    y₂ = 0 + ½ g (t-t₀)²

    y₂ = + ½ g (t-t₀)²

Let's calculate the distance between the two rocks, it should be clear that this equation is valid only for t> = to

    S = y₁ -y₂

    S = ½ g t²– ½ g (t-t₀)²

    S = ½ g [t² - (t²- 2 t to + to²)]  

    S = ½ g (2 t t₀ - t₀²)

    S = ½ g t₀ (2 t -t₀)

This is the separation of the two bodies as time passes, the amount outside the Parentheses is constant.

For t <to.  The rock y has not left and the distance increases

For t> = to.  the ratio (2t/to-1)> 1 therefore the distance increases as time

passes

Now we can analyze the different statements

A) false. The difference in height increases over time

B) False S increases

C) Certain s increases with time, v₁ = gt and V₂ = g (t-t₀) we see that for the same t   v₁> v₂
