Answer:

2.08\cdot 10^9 A

Explanation:

The magnetic dipole moment of a circular coil with a current is given by

\mu = IA

where

I is the current in the coil

A=\pi r^2 is the area enclosed by the coil, where

r is the radius of the coil

So the magnetic dipole moment can be rewritten as

\mu = I\pi r^2 (1)

Here we can assume that the magnetic dipole moment of Earth is produced by charges flowing in Earth’s molten outer core, so by a current flowing in a circular path of radius

r=3500 km = 3.5\cdot 10^6 m

Here we also know that the Earth's magnetic dipole moment is

\mu = 8.0\cdot 10^{22} J/T

Therefore, we can re-arrange eq (1) to find the current that the charges produced:

I=\frac{\mu}{\pi r^2}=\frac{8.00\cdot 10^{22}}{\pi (3.5\cdot 10^6)^2}=2.08\cdot 10^9 A

What is the rotational kinetic energy of the Earth about the Sun? Assume the earth is a uniform sphere, mass of the Earth is 5.9
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

2.66x10^33 J

Explanation:

In order to do this, we first need to know the expression for kinetic energy:

E = 1/2 I*w²  (1)

I is moment of innertia

w is angular speed.

Moment of Innertia can be calculated using the following expression:

I = 2/5 M*R²  (2)

M is mass of earth, R is radius of earth

Replacing the data in expression (2) we have:

I = 2/5 * 5.97x10^24 * (6.37x10^6)²

I = 9.69x10^37 kg m²

Next, we need to calculate the angular speed of Earth over it's axis, this is easy, because we know the Earth rotates over it's own axis once a day, 24 hours (86400 s), and assuming Earth is a perfect sphere, we can calculate the speed:

w = 2π / 86400 = 7.27x10^-5 rad/s

next thing we need to do is calculate the rotational kinetic energy of earth on it's axis, using equation (1) so:

E = 1/2 * 9.69x10^37 * (7.27x10^-5)²

E = 2.56x10^29 J

Now that we have this value, we can finally calculate the rotational kinetic energy of earth about the sun. For that, we need to calculate again the angular speed of earth about the sun. The Earth rotates around the sun once a year, or 365 days, which is 3.1536x10^7 s, so the angular speed would be:

w = 2π/3.1536x10^7 = 1.99x10^-7 rad/s

finally the energy is the combination of the sun and earth so:

K = 1/2 (Ie + Me*Rorb²)wo²

I is innertia for earth

Me mass of earth

Rorb RAdius of orbit around the sun

wo is angular speed around the sun

Replacing the data we finally have:

K = 1/2 [9.69x10^37 + 5.97x10^24 * (1.5x10^11)²]*(1.99x10^-7)²

K = 2.66x10^33 J

a coin press creates a pressure of 3.20*10^8 Pa on a nickel of radius 0.0106 m. how much force does the press exert on the coin?
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

1.13 x 10⁵N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure of the coin press = 3.2 x 10⁸ Pa

radius of the nickel coin = 0.0106m

Unknown:

Force of the press on coil = ?

Solution:

Our knowledge of pressure will help us solve this problem.

Pressure is defined as the force applied per unit area on a body.

              Pressure  = \frac{force}{area}

  Force = Pressure  x  Area

 Since the pressure is known;

Area of the coin = Area of a circle = π r²

 where r is the radius of the coin;

Area of the coin = π x 0.0106²  = 3.53 x 10⁻⁴m²

  Force = 3.2 x 10⁸ x  3.53 x 10⁻⁴  = 1.13 x 10⁵N

You move a 25 N object 5 meters. How much work did you do ?
olga55 [171]
The answer is 125 Joules

The first thing to take note of is the work equation: W=F×D

Since we already have our force and our distance that will help make this problem easier.

So, W=25*5

W=125

Therefore, our answer is 125 Joules since work is measured in joules

Hope this helped!! :)

A ball with 100 J of PE is released from a height of 10 m. What will be the KE of the ball at 5
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is: 50[J]

Explanation:

The ball is having a potential energy of 100 [J], therefore

PE = [J]

The elevation is 10 [m], and at this point the ball is having only potential energy, the kinetic energy is zero.

E_{p} =m*g*h\\where:\\g= gravity[m/s^{2} ]\\m = mass [kg]\\m= \frac{E_{p} }{g*h}\\ m= \frac{100}{9.81*10}\\\\m= 1.01[kg]\\\\

In the moment when the ball starts to fall, it will lose potential energy and the potential energy will be transforme in kinetic energy.

When the elevation is 5 [m], we have a potential energy of

P_{e} =m*g*h\\P_{e} =1.01*9.81*5\\\\P_{e} = 50 [J]\\

This energy is equal to the kinetic energy, therefore

Ke= 50 [J]
