Some lakes, such as the Great Salt Lake, accumulate soluble minerals such as salt. In those lakes, people find it much easier to

float than when they are in fresh water. Why is this the case?

<span>The water with a lot of dissolved minerals and salts is much denser than fresh water. And with a higher density, that means that less water needs to be displaced in order to float. This difference in density can be the difference between barely floating on your back with your nose barely out of the water versus floating comfortably on your back with your entire face out of the water. For instance, fresh water at 25C has a density of 997 kg/m^3, whereas the water in the Great Salt Lake, depending upon the salinity ranges from 1035 kg/m^3 to 1200 kg/m^3. Or in simpler terms it can be about 4% to 20% denser than fresh water and you'll float 4% to 20% higher in the salt water.</span>

A solenoid 91.0 cm long has a radius of 1.50 cm and a winding of 1300 turns; it carries a current of 3.60 A. Calculate the magni
irinina [24]

The magnitude of the magnetic field inside the solenoid is 6.46 \times 10^{-3} \ T.

The given parameters;

  • <em>length of the solenoid, L = 91 cm = 0.91 m</em>
  • <em>radius of the solenoid, r = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m</em>
  • <em>number of turns of the solenoid, N = 1300 </em>
  • <em>current in the solenoid, I = 3.6 A</em>

The magnitude of the magnetic field inside the solenoid is calculated as;

B = \mu_0 nI\\\\B = \mu_o(\frac{ N}{L} )I\\\\

where;

\mu_o is the permeability of frees space = 4π x 10⁻⁷ T.m/A

B = (4\pi \times 10^{-7}) \times (\frac{1300}{0.91} ) \times 3.6\\\\B = 6.46 \times 10^{-3} \ T

Thus, the magnitude of the magnetic field inside the solenoid is 6.46 \times 10^{-3} \ T.

A power plant supplies 1,100 megawatts of power to the electric grid. how many joules of energy does it supply each second?
slavikrds [6]
The answer is it will supply 1.1 x 10⁹ J of energy each second.
we can calculate this by using the following equation;
P = W/t 
<span>W = P x t 
</span><span>and by work energy relation;
E = W = P x t
</span>1 watt = 1j/s
1megawatt = 1000000 = 10⁶ j/s
<span>E = 1100 x 106 x 1 </span>
E = 1.1 x 10⁹ J

A pendulum takes 4 seconds to make one complete swing. A man walks 100m in a straight line while the pendulum makes 20 complete
irina [24]

The average velocity of the man is determined as 1.25 m/s.

<h3>Average velocity of the man</h3>

Total distance traveled by the man = 100 m

If 1 complete cycle = 4 s

  20 complete cycle = ?

= 20 x 4 s

= 80 s

Average velocity = total distance/total time

Average velocity = 100 m/80 s

Average velocity = 1.25 m/s

Thus, the average velocity of the man is determined as 1.25 m/s.
