Answer: 4.9 x 10^6 joules

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of boulder (m) = 2,500 kg

Height of ledge above canyon floor (h) = 200 m

Gravita-tional potential energy of the boulder (GPE) = ?

Since potential energy is the energy possessed by a body at rest, and it depends on the mass of the object (m), gravitational acceleration (g), and height (h).

GPE = mgh

GPE = 2500kg x 9.8m/s2 x 200m

GPE = 4900000J

Place result in standard form

GPE = 4.9 x 10^6J

Thus, the gravita-tional potential energy of the boulder-Earth system relative to the canyon floor is 4.9 x 10^6 joules

kupik [55]

Answer:

A) μ = A.m²

B) z = 0.46m

Explanation:

A) Magnetic dipole moment of a coil is given by; μ = NIA

Where;

N is number of turns of coil

I is current in wire

A is area

We are given

N = 300 turns; I = 4A ; d =5cm = 0.05m

Area = πd²/4 = π(0.05)²/4 = 0.001963

So,

μ = 300 x 4 x 0.001963 = 2.36 A.m².

B) The magnetic field at a distance z along the coils perpendicular central axis is parallel to the axis and is given by;

B = (μ_o•μ)/(2π•z³)

Let's make z the subject ;

z = [(μ_o•μ)/(2π•B)] ^(⅓)

Where u_o is vacuum permiability with a value of 4π x 10^(-7) H

Also, B = 5 mT = 5 x 10^(-6) T

Thus,

z = [ (4π x 10^(-7)•2.36)/(2π•5 x 10^(-6))]^(⅓)

Solving this gives; z = 0.46m =
