Answer: Magnetic field reverses.

Explanation:

The magnetic field of the Earth is generated due to the presence of iron and other magnetic materials in molten form in the outer core of the Earth. History suggests that the magnetic field of the Earth was in a reversed states during stone age. And it might happen in future. The domains realign as the Earth is continuously in motion. When the reversed domains dominate, magnetic field reversal occurs.

A pendulum consisting of a 0.5 kg mass tied to a 0.3 m string is set into oscillation at the same moment that a stone is dropped

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

2.72 cycles

Explanation:

First of all, let's find the time that the stone takes to reaches the ground. The stone moves by uniform accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2, and it covers a distance of S=44.1 m, so the time taken is

$S=\frac{1}{2}at^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(44.1m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=3 s$

The period of the pendulum instead is given by:

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{0.3 m}{9.8 m/s^2}}=1.10 s$

Therefore, the number of oscillations that the pendulum goes through before the stone hits the ground is given by the time the stone takes to hit the ground divided by the period of the pendulum:

$N=\frac{t}{T}=\frac{3 s}{1.10 s}=2.72$

Assuming the incline to be frictionless and the zero of gravitational potential energy to be at the elevation of the horizontal

Leya [2.2K]

The energy in the system is given by the law of conservation of energy.

The energy stored in the spring plus the gravitational potential energy of the block when it has fully compressed the spring will be equal to m·g·h.

Reason:

The given parameters are;

Surface of the inclined plane = Frictionless

Potential energy at the horizontal line = Zero of gravitational potential

By the law of Conservation of Energy, we have;

The spring will be compressed by a distance, x

The energy stored in the compressed spring, K.E. = (1/2)·k·x²

Energy in the block when the block comes to rest at a height, h₁, will be, P.E. = m·g·h₁

Therefore, by conservation of energy, we have;

The initial potential of the block = The stored energy in the compressed string + The gravitational potential energy of the block when it has compressed.

Therefore, the correct option is; The energy stored in the spring plus the gravitational potential energy of the block when it has fully compressed the spring will be equal to m·g·h

Complete question:

Resistor is made of a very thin metal wire that is 3.2 mm long, with a diameter of 0.4 mm. What is the electric field inside this metal resistor? If the potential difference due to electric field between the two ends of the resistor is 10 V.

Answer:

The electric field inside this metal resistor is 3125 V/m

Explanation:

Given;

length of the wire, L = 3.2 mm = 3.2 x 10⁻³ m

diameter of the wire, d = 0.4 mm = 0.4 x 10⁻³ m

the potential difference due to electric field between the two ends of the resistor, V = 10 V

The electric field inside this metal resistor is given by;

ΔV = EL

where;

ΔV is change in electric potential

E = ΔV / L

E = 10 / (3.2 x 10⁻³ )

E = 3125 V/m

Therefore, the electric field inside this metal resistor is 3125 V/m
