d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

V=15.3 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we have to use the energy conservation theorem:

U_e+K_i+U_{gi}+W_{friction}=K_f+U_{gf}

the elastic potencial energy is given by:

U_e=\frac{1}{2}*k*x^2\\U_e=\frac{1}{2}*1100N/m*(4m)^2\\U_e=8800J

The work is defined as:

W_{friction}=F_f*d*cos(\theta)\\W_{friction}=40N*2.5m*cos(180)\\W_{friction}=-100J

this work is negative because is opposite to the movement.

The gravitational potencial energy at 2.5 m aboves is given by:

U_{gf}=m*g*h\\U_{gf}=60kg*9.8*2.5\\U_{gf}=1470J

the gravitational potential energy at the ground and the kinetic energy at the begining are 0.

8800J+0+0+-100J=\frac{1}{2}*62kg*v^2+1470J\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2(8800J-100J-1470J)}{62kg}}\\v=15.3m/s

How do you think that changing the mass of the pendulum bob will affect the period of the pendulum swing?​
myrzilka [38]
(Mass does not affect the pendulum's swing. The longer the length of string, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period, or back and forth swing of the pendulum. The greater the amplitude, or angle, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period.)

What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at a point midway between them if the top one carries a current of 19.5 A and the bo
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

The magnetic field will be \large{\dfrac{1.4 \times 10^{-4}}{d}} T, '2d' being the distance the wires.

Explanation:

From Biot-Savart's law, the magnetic field (\large{\overrightarrow{B}}) at a distance 'r' due to a current carrying conductor carrying current 'I' is given by

\large{\overrightarrow{B} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{4 \pi}} \int \dfrac{\overrightarrow{dl} \times \hat{r}}{r^{2}}}

where '\overrightarrow{dl}' is an elemental length along the direction of the current flow through the conductor.

Using this law, the magnetic field due to straight current carrying conductor having current 'I', at a distance 'd' is given by

\large{\overrightarrow{B}} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{2 \pi d}

According to the figure if 'I_{t}' be the current carried by the top wire, 'I_{b}' be the current carried by the bottom wire and '2d' be the distance between them, then the direction of the magnetic field at 'P', which is midway between them, will be perpendicular towards the plane of the screen, shown by the \bigotimes symbol and that due to the bottom wire at 'P' will be perpendicular away from the plane of the screen, shown by \bigodot symbol.

Given \large{I_{t} = 19.5 A} and \large{I_{B} = 12.5 A}

Therefore, the magnetic field (\large{B_{t}}) at 'P' due to the top wire

B_{t} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I_{t}}{2 \pi d}

and the magnetic field (\large{B_{b}}) at 'P' due to the bottom wire

B_{b} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I_{b}}{2 \pi d}

Therefore taking the value of \mu_{0} = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} the net magnetic field (\large{B_{M}}) at the midway between the wires will be

\large{B_{M} = \dfrac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7}}{2 \pi d} (I_{t} - I_{b}) = \dfrac{2 \times 10^{-7}}{d} = \dfrac{41.4 \times 10 ^{-4}}{d}} T

What is the weight of an astronaut who has a mass of 90 kg on the moon? (Note: acceleration due to gravity of the moon is 1.62 N
motikmotik

Answer:

W = 145.8 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must remember that weight is defined as the product of mass by gravity, in this case lunar gravity.

W = m*g

where:

m = mass = 90 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 1.62 [kg/m²]

W = 90*1.62

W = 145.8 [N]
