4 0

Answer:

a) an airplane in mid-flight

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy is defined by

$E_{potential} =m*g*h$

where m is the mass of the object;

g is the gravitational acceleration;

an h is the height of the object;

For the examples, the highest value in potential energy will be for the airplane, because it has the more mass and the higher altitude by far in relation to the baseball or the bird.

Compare the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of a circular current loop of radius 30 mm with the magnitude of the m

NISA [10]

Answer:

Ratio of magnetic field will be $\frac{B}{B'}=0.0055$

Explanation:

We have given radius of the loop r = 30 mm = 0.03 m

We know that magnetic field at the center of the loop is given by

$B=\frac{\mu _0i}{2r}$ ---------eqn 1

Number of turns in the solenoid is given as n = 3 turn per mm = 3000 turn per meter

We know that magnetic field due to solenoid is given by

$B'=n\mu _0i$ -------------eqn 2

Now dividing eqn 1 by eqn 2

$\frac{B}{B'}=\frac{\frac{\mu _0i}{2r}}{\mu _0ni}=\frac{1}{2nr}=\frac{1}{2\times 3000\times 0.03}=0.0055$

If you double the voltage in a circuit and reduce the resistance by a factor of four, what will happen to the current?

Kamila [148]

<span>doubling or tripling the voltage will cause the current to be doubled or tripled. On the other hand, any alteration in the resistance will result in the opposite or inverse alteration of the current. So doubling or tripling the resistance will cause the current to be one-half or one-third the original value.</span>

An undamped 1.48 kg horizontal spring oscillator has a spring constant of 35.4 N/m. While oscillating, it is found to have a spe

givi [52]

Answer: 0.798 m

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the spring oscillator, m = 1.48 kg

Force constant of the spring, k = 35.4 N/m

Speed of oscillation, v = 3.9 m/s

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 mv²

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 * 1.48 * 3.9²

KE = 0.5 * 22.5108

KE = 11.26 J

Using the law of conservation of Energy. The Potential Energy of the system is equal to Kinetic Energy of the system

KE = PE

PE = 1/2kx²

11.26 = 1/2 * 35.4 * x²

11.26 = 17.7x²

x² = 11.26 / 17.7

x² = 0.6362

x = √0.6362

x = 0.798 m
