Answer:

To separate the magnetic substance from the scrap.

Explanation:

The electromagnets are the magnets which shows magnetic properties when the electric current pass through them.

The magnetic substances are attracted towards the electromagnet from the scrap.

We can increase or decrease the strength of electromagnet by increasing or decreasing the strength of electric current pass through it.

A ship leaves a harbor and sails at 23.5 ∘ to the north of due west. After traveling 575 km, how far west is the ship from the h

solniwko [45]

Answer:

D = 527.31 Km

Explanation:

given,

angle of ship, θ = 23.5° N of W

distance travel in the direction = 575 Km

Distance of ship in west from harbor = ?

now,

Distance of the ship in the west direction

D = d cos θ

d = 575 Km

θ = 23.5°

inserting all the values

D = 575 x cos 23.5°

D = 575 x 0.91706

D = 527.31 Km

Hence, the distance travel by the ship in west from harbor is equal to D = 527.31 Km

You want to produce three 2.00-mm-diametercylindrical wires, each with a resistance of 1.00 Ω at room temperature. One wire is g

Vlada [557]

Answer:

(a) L = 128.75 m

(b) L = 182.56 m

(d) Mass of Gold = 7.68 kg = 7680 gram

(e) Cost of Gold Wire = $ 307040

Explanation:

The resistance of the wire is given as:

R = ρL/A

where,

R = Resistance

ρ = resistivity

L = Length

A = cross-sectional area

(a)

For Gold Wire:

ρ = 2.44 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m

A = πd²/4 = π(2 x 10⁻³ m)²/4 = 3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²

R = 1 Ω

Therefore,

1 Ω = (2.44 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m)L/(3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²)

L = (1 Ω)(3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²)/(2.44 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m)

L = 128.75 m

(b)

For Copper Wire:

ρ = 1.72 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m

A = πd²/4 = π(2 x 10⁻³ m)²/4 = 3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²

R = 1 Ω

Therefore,

1 Ω = (1.72 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m)L/(3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²)

L = (1 Ω)(3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²)/(1.72 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m)

L = 182.56 m

(c)

For Aluminum Wire:

ρ = 2.75 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m

A = πd²/4 = π(2 x 10⁻³ m)²/4 = 3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²

R = 1 Ω

Therefore,

1 Ω = (2.75 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m)L/(3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²)

L = (1 Ω)(3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²)/(2.75 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m)

L = 114.28 m

(d)

Density = Mass/Volume

Mass = (Density)(Volume)

Volume of Gold = AL = (3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²)(128.75 m) = 4.04 x 10⁻⁴ m³

Therefore,

Mass of Gold = (1.9 x 10⁴ kg/m³)(4.04 x 10⁻⁴ m³)

Mass of Gold = 7.68 kg = 7680 gram

(e)

Cost of Gold Wire = (Unit Price of Gold)(Mass of Gold)

Cost of Gold Wire = ($ 40/gram)(7680 grams)

Cost of Gold Wire = $ 307040

The frequency of a physical pendulum comprising a nonuniform rod of mass 1.15 kg pivoted at one end is observed to be 0.658 Hz.

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

The rotational inertia of the pendulum around its pivot point is $0.280\,kg\cdot m^{2}$ .

Explanation:

The angular frequency of a physical pendulum is measured by the following expression:

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{m\cdot g \cdot d}{I_{o}} }$

Where:

$\omega$ - Angular frequency, measured in radians per second.

$m$ - Mass of the physical pendulum, measured in kilograms.

$g$ - Gravitational constant, measured in meters per square second.

$d$ - Straight line distance between the center of mass and the pivot point of the pendulum, measured in meters.

$I_{O}$ - Moment of inertia with respect to pivot point, measured in $kg\cdot m^{2}$ .

In addition, frequency and angular frequency are both related by the following formula:

$\omega =2\pi\cdot f$

Where:

$f$ - Frequency, measured in hertz.

If $f = 0.658\,hz$ , then angular frequency of the physical pendulum is:

$\omega = 2\pi \cdot (0.658\,hz)$

$\omega = 4.134\,\frac{rad}{s}$

From the formula for the physical pendulum's angular frequency, the moment of inertia is therefore cleared:

$\omega^{2} = \frac{m\cdot g \cdot d}{I_{o}}$

$I_{o} = \frac{m\cdot g \cdot d}{\omega^{2}}$

Given that $m = 1.15\,kg$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $d = 0.425\,m$ and $\omega = 4.134\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , the moment of inertia associated with the physical pendulum is:

$I_{o} = \frac{(1.15\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (0.425\,m)}{\left(4.134\,\frac{rad}{s} \right)^{2}}$

$I_{o} = 0.280\,kg\cdot m^{2}$

The rotational inertia of the pendulum around its pivot point is $0.280\,kg\cdot m^{2}$ .
