You are designing a solenoid to produce a 2.0-kG magnetic field. You wish to wrap your insulated wire uniformly around a cardboa
Sloan [31]

Answer:

92.7 km

Explanation:

Since the magnetic field due to a solenoid is given by B = μ₀Ni/L where  μ₀ = permeability of free space = 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m, N = number of turns of solenoid, L = length of cardboard tube = 58 cm = 0.58 m, , i = current in wire = 2.5 A and l = length of wire.

So, N = BL/μ₀i

Since B = 2.0 kG = 2.0 × 10³ G = 2.0 × 10³ × 10⁻⁴ T = 2.0 × 10⁻¹ T = 0.2 T

So, substituting the variables into the equation, we have

N = BL/μ₀i

N = 0.2 T × 0.58 m/(4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m × 2.5 A)

N = 1.16 Tm/(31.416 × 10⁻⁷ HA/m)

N = 0.0369 × 10⁷ turns

N = 0.0369 × 10⁷ turns

N = 3.69 × 10⁵ turns

length of wire l = NC where N = number of turns and C = circumference of tube = πD where D = diameter of tube = 8.0 cm = 0.08 m

So, l = NC

= NπD

= πND

= π × 3.69 × 10⁵ turns × 0.08 m

= 0.9274 × 10⁵ m = 9.274 × 10⁴ m

= 92.74 × 10³ m

= 92.74 km

≅ 92.7 km

Explain why increasing the mass of a car affects how the car rolls down a ramp.
Irina-Kira [14]
F = ma (force = mass x acceleration)

So the car’s mass affects the amount of force, changing how it would roll down a ramp, I think.

spaceship of mass m travels from the Earth to the Moon along a line that passes through the center of the Earth and the center o
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

the correct result is r = 3.71 10⁸ m

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the law of universal gravitation

          F = - \frac{m_{1} m_{2} }{r^2}

We call the masses of the Earth M, the masses of the moon m and the masses of the rocket m ', let's set a reference system in the center of the Earth, the distance from the Earth to the moon is d = 3.84 108 m

rocket force -Earth

          F₁ = - \frac{m' M }{r^2}

rocket force - Moon

          F₂ = - \frac{m' m }{(d-r)^2}

in the problem ask for what point the force has the relation

          2 F₁ = F₂

let's substitute

          2 2 \frac{M}{r^2} = \frac{m}{(d-r)^2}

          (d-r) ² = \frac{m}{2M} r²

           d² - 2rd + r² = \frac{m}{2M} r²

           r² (1 -\frac{m}{2M}) - 2rd + d² = 0

Let's solve this quadratic equation to find the distance r, let's call

           a = 1 - \frac{m}{2M}

           a = 1 - \frac{7.36 10^{22} }{2 \  5398 10^{24}} = 1 - 6.15 10⁻³

           a = 0.99385

         

            a r² - 2d r + d² = 0

           r =  \frac  {2d \frac{+}{-}   \sqrt{4d^2 - 4 a d^2}} {2a}

           r = [2d ± 2d \sqrt{1-a}] / 2a

           r = \frac{d}{a}   (1 ± √ (1.65 10⁻³)) =  \frac{d}{a} (1 ± 0.04)

           r₁ = \frac{d}{a} 1.04

           r₂ = \frac{d}{a} 0.96

let's calculate

           r₁ = \frac{3.84 10^8}{0.99385} 1.04

           r₁ = 401.8 10⁸ m

          r₂ = \frac{3.84 10^8}{0.99385} 0.96

          r₂ = 3.71 10⁸ m

therefore the correct result is r = 3.71 10⁸ m

What is a cool example of newtons 3rd law?
USPshnik [31]
<span>This law means that when one object exerts force on another, the same amount of force is exerted on the initial object, but in the opposite reaction. For example, when a billiard ball strikes another ball, the second ball is propelled forward. Simultaneously, the momentum of the first ball is slowed or stopped by opposing force. The amount that the first object is affected by the opposing force depends on the mass and motion of the second object.</span>
