Residential building codes typically require the use of 12-gauge copper wire (diameter 0.205 cm) for wiring receptacles. Such ci
Alecsey [184]

Given Information:  

Current = I = 20 A

Diameter = d = 0.205 cm = 0.00205 m

Length of wire = L = 1 m

Required Information:  

Energy produced = P = ?

Answer:  

P = 2.03 J/s

Explanation:  

We know that power required in a wire is

P = I²R

and R = ρL/A

Where ρ is the resistivity of the copper wire 1.68x10⁻⁸ Ω.m

L is the length of the wire and A is the area of the cross-section and is given by

A = πr²

A = π(d/2)²

A = π(0.00205/2)²

A = 3.3x10⁻⁶ m²

R = ρL/A

R = 1.68x10⁻⁸*(1)/3.3x10⁻⁶

R = 5.09x10⁻³ Ω

P = I²R

P = (20)²*5.09x10⁻³

P = 2.03 Watts or P = 2.03 J/s

Therefore, 2.03 J/s of energy is produced in 1.00 m of 12-gauge copper wire carrying a current of 20 A

In a particular experiment to study the photoelectric effect, the frequency of the incident light and the temperature of the met
mixer [17]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the ejected electrons increases.

Explanation:

As we know that electrons are only ejected from a metal surface if the frequency of the incident light increases the work function of the metal. If the frequency of the incident light is less than the work function of the metal no matter how intense the beam the electrons will not be ejected from the surface.

Using conservation of energy principle we have

E_{incident}=h\nu +\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

If we increase the intensity  of incident light the term on the LHS of the above equation increases this increase appears in the kinetic energy term in RHS of the equation since h\times \nu remains constant.

A 5kg ball is on top of the school building at a height of 40m above the ground.
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

A-Caclcuate the potential energy of the ball at that height

Explanation:

(a). Mass of the Body = 10 kg.

Height = 10 m.

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

Using the Formula,Potential Energy = mgh

= 10 × 9.8 × 10 = 980 J.

(b). Now, By the law of the conservation of the Energy, Total amount of the energy of the system remains constant.

∴ Kinetic Energy before the body reaches the ground is equal to the Potential Energy at the height of 10 m.

∴ Kinetic Energy = 980 J.

(c). Kinetic Energy = 980 J.

Mass of the ball = 10 kg.

∵ K.E. = 1/2 × mv²

∴ 980 = 1/2 × 10 × v²

∴ v² = 980/5

⇒ v² = 196

∴ v = 14 m/s.

a boy is standing 4 meter from a plane mirror how far and in what distance must te move so that he will be 4 meter from his imag
Alona [7]

Answer:

2 meters towards the mirror.

Explanation:

In a plane mirror the image distance is equal to the object distance. Therefore, by moving 2 meters towards the mirror, the boy reduces the distance between him and the mirror to two meters which is the object distance. The image distance is also 2 meters. add the two distances you will get four meters.
