What are the differences between a magnetic and gravitational interaction

1 answer:

3 0

Classically, gravitational attraction is due to the masses of objects. It is inversely proportional to the square of the distances between the objects.

Magnetic attraction is due to the magnetism in objects which is due to uncompensated electron spins in certain atoms. The force due to magnetism less easy to put into one equation than gravity since magnetic fields can have different shapes, but the simplest one (the dipolar field) is inversely proportional to the cube of the distance between the magnetic dipoles.

A conductor carrying a current I = 16.5 A is directed along the positive x axis and perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. A

Jet001 [13]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Magnetic Force, this is given by the product between the current, the body length, the magnetic field and the angle between the force and the magnetic field, mathematically that is,

$F = ILBsin \theta$

Here,

I = Current

L = Length

B = Magnetic Field

$\theta$ = Angle between Force and Magnetic Field

But $\theta = 90\°$

$F = ILB$

Rearranging to find the Magnetic Field,

$B = \frac{F}{IL}$

Here the force per unit length,

$B = \frac{1}{I}\frac{F}{L}$

Replacing with our values,

$B = \frac{0.130N/m}{16.5}$

$B = 0.0078T$

Therefore the magnitude of the magnetic field in the region through which the current passes is 0.0078T

Glycerin (C3H8O3) is a nonvolatile liquid. What is the vapor pressure of a solution made by adding 154 g of glycerin to 316 mL o

garri49 [273]

Answer:

$P_{sol}=50.4\ mm.Hg$

Explanation:

According to given:

molecular mass of glycerin, $M_g=3\times 12+8+3\times 16=92\ g.mol^{-1}$

molecular mass of water, $M_w=2+16=18\ g.mol^{-1}$

∵Density of water is $0.992\ g.cm^{-3}= 0.992\ g.mL^{-1}$

∴mass of water in 316 mL, $m_w=316\times 0.992=313.5 g$

mass of glycerin, $m_g=154\ g$

pressure of mixture, $P_x=55.32\ torr= 55.32\ mm.Hg$

temperature of mixture, $T_x=40^{\circ}C$

Upon the formation of solution the vapour pressure will be reduced since we have one component of solution as non-volatile.

moles of water in the given quantity:

$n_w=\frac{m_w}{M_w}$

$n_w=\frac{313.5}{18}$

$n_w=17.42 moles$

moles of glycerin in the given quantity:

$n_g=\frac{m_g}{M_g}$

$n_g=\frac{154}{92}$

$n_g=1.674 moles$

Now the mole fraction of water:

$X_w=\frac{n_w}{n_w+n_g}$

$X_w=\frac{17.42}{17.42+1.674}$

$X_w=0.912$

Since glycerin is non-volatile in nature so the vapor pressure of the resulting solution will be due to water only.

$\therefore P_{sol}=X_w\times P_x$

$\therefore P_{sol}=0.912\times 55.32$

$P_{sol}=50.4\ mm.Hg$

You have designed a machine that requires 1000 J of work from a motor for every 800 J of useful work done by the machine. What i

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

80%

Explanation:

$efficiency = \frac{useful \: work \: done}{total \: energy \: input}$

800 / 1000 = 0.8

Efficiency = 0.8 *100 = 80%

The difference between the speed of sound n air at 0°C and the speed of sound in air at 20°c is that... A. Cooler air molecules

sergejj [24]

Heat, like sound, is kinetic energy. Molecules at higher temperatures heave more energy, thus they can vibrate faster. Since the molecules vibrate faster, sound waves can travel more quickly.

So the answer is A.
