A5000-km long cable consists of seven copper wires, each of diameter 0.85 mm, bundled together and surrounded by an insulating sheath. calculate the resistance of the cable. use 3x10^-6 cm.ω for the resistivity of the copper.

The resistance of the cable is 37762.91 ohms.

Explanation:

let L be the length of the cable, A be the cross-sectional area of the cable and   r be the resistivity of the copper.

then, the resistance of the cable is given by:

R = r×L/A

  = (3×10^-8)×(5000×10^3)/(7×π((0.85×10^-3)/2)^2)

  = 37762.91 ohms

Therefore, the resistance of the cable is 37762.91 ohms.

d₁ = displacement of tern from arctic to antarctic = 11000 miles

d₂ = displacement of tern from antarctic to arctic =   - 11000 miles

d = total displacement for the journey

total displacement for the journey is given as

d = d₁ + d₂

d = 11000 + (-11000)

d = 0 miles

t₁ = time of travel from arctic to antarctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t₂ = time of travel from antarctic to arctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t = total time of travel

total time of travel is given as

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 90 + 90

t = 180 days

average velocity is given as

average velocity = total displacement/ total time

v = d/t

v = 0/180

v = 0 miles/day
