Birds resting on high-voltage power lines are a common sight. the copper wire on

Explanation:

First of all, let's find the cross-sectional area of the copper wire. The radius of the wire half the diameter:

So the area is

Now we can calculate the resistance of the piece of copper wire between the bird's feet, with the formula:

where

is the resistivity of copper

is the length of the piece of wire

is the cross-sectional area

Substituting, we find

And since we know the current in the wire, I=149 A, we can now find the potential difference across the body of the bird, by using Ohm's law:

Distance between Metro  transit station to Whitstleville = 14 miles
Average speed of train = 35 mph
Time of departure from metro = 10.00 AM
Time to the next station, t= d/s = 14/35 = 0.4 hrs = 24 minutes
Since it takes 5 minutes to the station, the traveler leaves the apartment at,

10.00 AM + (24-5 minutes) = 10.19 AM
