Braddy connected the loose wire to the battery and created an electromagnet. He picked up 45 thumb tacks with his electromagnet,

though his goal was to pick up 50 thumb tacks. What could Braddy do to increase the strength of his electromagnet and pick up more thumbtacks? A) Use fewer coils of wire. B) Use a screw instead of a nail. C) Use two batteries instead of one. D) Replace the nail with a piece of steel.

Answer:

C) Use two batteries instead of one.

Explanation:

-Strength of an electromagnet depends on the electrical current which flows through the wires.

-Two batteries have a higher current than one and thus higher strength in the electromagnet.

Radioactive isotopes can be used to find the age of rocks, fossils, or other artifacts. Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

1/8 = (1/2)^3

This implies the sample has decayed for 3 half lives

3 * 5730 yrs = 17,200 years

What force, in newtons, must you exert on the balloon with your hands to create a gauge pressure of 62.5 cm H2O, if you squeeze

yulyashka [42]

Answer:54.70 N

Explanation:

Given

Gauge Pressure of $62.5 cm of H_2O$

i.e. $h=62.5 cm =0.625 m$

Effective area $A=51 cm^2$

initial Pressure $= 1 atm=101.325 kPa$

Gauge Pressure $P=\rho gh$

$\rho =density\ of\ water =1000 kg/m^3$

$P_{gauge}=1000\times 9.8\times 0.625=5.937 kPa$

Force creates a pressure of $P_1$ which will be equal to Gauge Pressure

$P_1=\frac{F}{A}$

$P_1=P_{gauge}$

$\frac{F}{A}=5.937 kPa$

$F=5.937\times 51\times 10^{-4}\times 10^3$

$F=30.27 N$

Question Part Points Submissions Used A car is stopped for a traffic signal. When the light turns green, the car accelerates, in

olya-2409 [2.1K]

(a) 328.6 kg m/s

The linear impulse experienced by the passenger in the car is equal to the change in momentum of the passenger:

$I=\Delta p = m\Delta v$

where

m = 62.0 kg is the mass of the passenger

$\Delta v$ is the change in velocity of the car (and the passenger), which is

$\Delta v = 5.30 m/s - 0 = 5.30 m/s$

So, the linear impulse experienced by the passenger is

$I=(62.0 kg)(5.30 m/s)=328.6 kg m/s$

(b) 404.7 N

The linear impulse experienced by the passenger is also equal to the product between the average force and the time interval:

$I=F \Delta t$

where in this case

$I=328.6 kg m/s$ is the linear impulse

$\Delta t = 0.812 s$ is the time during which the force is applied

Solving the equation for F, we find the magnitude of the average force experienced by the passenger:

$F=\frac{I}{\Delta t}=\frac{328.6 kg m/s}{0.812 s}=404.7 N$

2. In the activities below indicate if friction is useful or not useful? Explain your answer. i. Writing yes it is useful becaus

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

Friction is a force that opposes motion. One or two of the advantages of friction are break and ability of an object to walk.

Writing yes it is useful because when your writing because friction helps you see what your writing

ii. Rubbing. Yes, it is useful.

friction make it possible for two object to rub each other

iii. Skiing. No. It is not useful because With presence of friction, skiing will not be possible.

iv. Rotating a wheel No. It is not useful because Friction will oppose the rotation of the wheel.
