Set up a unit conversion problem, arrange units to convert minutes to seconds, then cancel all time units.

8.3 minutes x (60 seconds/1 minute) x ( 3.00x10^8 meters/1 second) = 149,400,000,000 meters

Since the time is the term with the fewest number of significant figures (2), your answer should only be expressed with two sig figs as well.

1.5x10^11 m

The magnetic field due to a utility wire is 0.10 mT when you are at a distance of 10 meters from it. What current (in Amperes) f
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

I = 5000 A

Explanation:

We will use Ampere's Law to calculate the current:

B = \frac{\mu I}{2\pi r}\\\\

where,

B = Magnetic Field Strength = 0.1 mT = 1 x 10⁻⁴ T

μ = Permeability of Free Space = 4π x 10⁻⁷ N/A²

I = Current = ?

r = radius = 10 m

Therefore,

1\ x\ 10^{-4}\ T = \frac{(4\pi\ x\ 10^{-7}\ N/A^2)(I)}{2\pi(10\ m)}\\\\I = \frac{(1\ x\ 10^{-4}\ T)(2\pi (10\ m))}{4\pi\ x\ 10^{-7}\ N/A^2}

<u>I = 5000 A</u>

How do the units of work and power compare?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Work done is given by :

W = Fd, where F is force and d is displacement

Unit of work done :

The SI unit of force is Newton (N) and that of displacement is meter (m). So, the unit of work done is N-m. It is call Joule. It means that the unit of work done is Joule.

Power is given by rate at which the work is done. It is given by :

P = W/t, W is work done and t is time

Unit of power:

Unit of work is Joule (J) and that of time is second (s). It means that the unit of power is Watt and it is equal to Joule/second

Hence, the correct option is (d) "The unit for work is a joule. The unit for power is a watt, which is a joule per second".
