The miniature circuit breaker should rather be fastned to a wall using nails and other neccessary tools.

<h3>What is a miniature circuit breaker?</h3>

A miniature circuit breaker is a circuit breaker that is used in homes as a means of guarding against damage to appliances due to a very high current.

This miniature circuit breaker is also harzardous in the sense that it could lead to an electrical fault related fire outbreak especially when it is being blown freely by wind as you tie it with a thread. Doing this a very bad idea because of the risk of a fire hazard.

The miniature circuit breaker should rather be fastned to a wall using nails and other neccessary tools.

A ball with 100 J of PE is released from a height of 10 m. What will be the KE of the ball at 5
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is: 50[J]

Explanation:

The ball is having a potential energy of 100 [J], therefore

PE = [J]

The elevation is 10 [m], and at this point the ball is having only potential energy, the kinetic energy is zero.

E_{p} =m*g*h\\where:\\g= gravity[m/s^{2} ]\\m = mass [kg]\\m= \frac{E_{p} }{g*h}\\ m= \frac{100}{9.81*10}\\\\m= 1.01[kg]\\\\

In the moment when the ball starts to fall, it will lose potential energy and the potential energy will be transforme in kinetic energy.

When the elevation is 5 [m], we have a potential energy of

P_{e} =m*g*h\\P_{e} =1.01*9.81*5\\\\P_{e} = 50 [J]\\

This energy is equal to the kinetic energy, therefore

Ke= 50 [J]

A current of 4.00 mA flows through a copper wire. The wire has an initial diameter of 4.00 mm which gradually tapers to a diamet
lesya692 [45]

The change in mean drift velocity for electrons as they pass from one end of the wire to the other is 3.506 x 10⁻⁷ m/s and average acceleration of the electrons is 4.38 x 10⁻¹⁵ m/s².

The given parameters;

  • <em>Current flowing in the wire, I = 4.00 mA</em>
  • <em>Initial diameter of the wire, d₁ = 4 mm = 0.004 m</em>
  • <em>Final diameter of the wire, d₂ = 1 mm = 0.001 m</em>
  • <em>Length of wire, L = 2.00 m</em>
  • <em>Density of electron in the copper, n = 8.5 x 10²⁸ /m³</em>

<em />

The initial area of the copper wire;

A_1 = \frac{\pi d^2}{4} = \frac{\pi \times (0.004)^2}{4} =1.257\times 10^{-5} \ m^2

The final area of the copper wire;

A_2 = \frac{\pi d^2}{4} = \frac{\pi (0.001)^2}{4} = 7.86\times 10^{-7} \ m^2

The initial drift velocity of the electrons is calculated as;

v_d_1 = \frac{I}{nqA_1} \\\\v_d_1 = \frac{4\times 10^{-3} }{8.5\times 10^{28} \times 1.6\times 10^{-19} \times 1.257\times 10^{-5}} \\\\v_d_1 = 2.34 \times 10^{-8} \ m/s

The final drift velocity of the electrons is calculated as;

v_d_2 = \frac{I}{nqA_2} \\\\v_d_2 = \frac{4\times 10^{-3} }{8.5\times 10^{28} \times 1.6\times 10^{-19} \times 7.86\times 10^{-7}} \\\\v_d_2 = 3.74\times 10^{-7}  \ m/s

The change in the mean drift velocity is calculated as;

\Delta v = v_d_2 -v_d_1\\\\\Delta v = 3.74\times 10^{-7} \ m/s \ -\ 2.34 \times 10^{-8} \ m/s = 3.506\times 10^{-7} \ m/s

The time of motion of electrons for the initial wire diameter is calculated as;

t_1 = \frac{L}{v_d_1} \\\\t_1 = \frac{2}{2.34\times 10^{-8}} \\\\t_1 = 8.547\times 10^{7} \ s

The time of motion of electrons for the final wire diameter is calculated as;

t_2 = \frac{L}{v_d_1} \\\\t_2= \frac{2}{3.74 \times 10^{-7}} \\\\t_2 = 5.348 \times 10^{6} \ s

The average acceleration of the electrons is calculated as;

a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} \\\\a = \frac{3.506 \times 10^{-7} }{(8.547\times 10^7)- (5.348\times 10^6)} \\\\a = 4.38\times 10^{-15} \ m/s^2

Thus, the change in mean drift velocity for electrons as they pass from one end of the wire to the other is 3.506 x 10⁻⁷ m/s and average acceleration of the electrons is 4.38 x 10⁻¹⁵ m/s².
