Answer:

you change the direction of the magnetic field.

Explanation:

Because the magnetic field created by the electric current in the wire is changing directions around the wire, it will repel both poles of the magnet by bending away from the wire.

The correct answer is: when a current flows in a wire a magnetic field is set up around the wire. The field is circular without poles. If the current in heading away from you the magnetic field is clockwise and if the current is coming towards you the field is anti-clockwise. If the current is constant the strength of the magnetic field is also constant.

If the angle of incidence of a light source to a shiny surface is 30 degrees, what will the angle

Virty [35]

<h3>Answer: D) 30</h3>

Angle of incidence always equals angle of reflection. Think of a tennis ball being hit into a wall. The ball will bounce off at the same angle that it approached with. The angles mentioned are formed through the line called the "normal", which is the line perpendicular to the surface.

Why might an electromagnet be used to pick up old cars in junk yards?

s344n2d4d5 [400]

I think the correct answer would be that because electromagnets are powerful and can be turned off and on anytime. Electromagnet is a magnet in which the magnetic field is made by the electric current that is induced to the system.

Find the kinetic energy of an electron whose de broglie wavelength is 34.0 nm.

dezoksy [38]

The De Broglie wavelength of the electron is
$\lambda=34.0 nm=34 \cdot 10^{-9} m$
And we can use De Broglie's relationship to find its momentum:
$p= \frac{h}{\lambda}= \frac{6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js}{34 \cdot 10^{-9} m}=1.94 \cdot 10^{-26} kg m/s$

Given $p=mv$ , with m being the electron mass and v its velocity, we can find the electron's velocity:
$v= \frac{p}{m}= \frac{1.94 \cdot 10^{-26} kgm/s}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg}= 2.13 \cdot 10^4 m/s$

This velocity is quite small compared to the speed of light, so the electron is non-relativistic and we can find its kinetic energy by using the non-relativistic formula:
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg)(2.13 \cdot 10^4 m/s)^2=2.06 \cdot 10^{-22} J$

Help with these please someone?

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

8. 2.75·10^-4 s^-1

9. No, too much of the carbon-14 would have decayed for radiation to be detected.

Explanation:

8. The half-life of 42 minutes is 2520 seconds, so you have ...

1/2 = e^(-λt) = e^(-(2520 s)λ)

ln(1/2) = -(2520 s)λ

-ln(1/2)/(2520 s) = λ ≈ 2.75×10^-4 s^-1

___

9. Reference material on carbon-14 dating suggests the method is not useful for time periods greater than about 50,000 years. The half-life of C-14 is about 5730 years, so at 65 million years, about ...

6.5·10^7/5.73·10^3 ≈ 11344

half-lives will have passed. Whatever carbon 14 may have existed at the time will have decayed completely to nothing after that many half-lives.

A school bus takes 0.530 h to reach the school from your house. If the average velocity of the bus is 19.0 km/h to the east, wha

kifflom [539]

Answer:

$x_{distance}=10.07km$

Explanation:

Given data

time=0.530 h

Average velocity Vavg=19.0 km/s

To find

Displacement Δx

Solution

The Formula for average velocity is given as

$V_{avg}=(x_{distance} )/(t_{time} )\\ x_{distance}=V_{avg}*(t_{time} )\\x_{distance}=(19.0km/h)*(0.530h)\\x_{distance}=10.07km$
