A 580-turn solenoid is 18 cm long. The current in it is 36 A. A straight wire cuts through the center of the solenoid, along a 2

.0-cm diameter. This wire carries a 27-A current downward (and is connected by other wires that don't concern us). What is the magnitude of the force on this wire assuming the solenoid's field points due east?

Answer:

F = 0.078N

Explanation:

In order to calculate the magnitude of the force on the wire you first calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field generated by the solenoid, by using the following formula:

$B=\frac{\mu_oNi}{L}$ (1)

μo: magnetic permeability of vacuum = 4π*10^-7 T/A

N: turns of the solenoid = 580

i: current in the solenoid = 36A

L: length of the solenoid = 18cm = 0.18m

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

$B=\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(580)(36A)}{0.18m}=0.145T$

Next, you calculate the force exerted on the wire, by using the following formula:

$F=iLBsin\theta$ (2)

i: current in the wire = 27A

L: length of the wire that perceives the magnetic field (the same as the radius of the solenoid) = 2.0 cm = 0.02m

θ: angle between wire and the direction of B

B: magneitc field in the solenoid = 0.145T

The direction of the wire are perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field, hence, the angle is 90°.

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

$F=(27A)(0.02m)(0.145T)sin90\°=0.078N$

The magnitude of the force on the wire is 0.078N

If the work done to stretch an ideal spring by 4.0 cm is 6.0 j, what is the spring constant (force constant) of this spring?

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The spring constant is 3750 N/m

Explanation:

Use the following two relationships:

(Work) = (Force) x (Displacement)

(Force) = (Spring constant) x (Displacement)

=>

(Spring constant) = (Force) / (Displacement) = (Work) / (Displacement)^2

(Spring constant) = 6.0 kg.(m^2/s^2) / 0.0016 m^2 = 3750 N/m

The spring constant is 3750 N/m

The mass of a meteoroid was found to be 1.24 × 107 kilograms. Write the mass in standard notation.

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

The value we are given in the question is 1.24 * 10^7. This form of writing number is called scientific notation. The standard notation is the normal, regular way of writing numbers. Scientific notation and standard notations are interchangeable.

1.24 * 10^7 written in standard notation will be = 1.24 * 10000000 = 12400000.

Thus, the mass of the meteoroid was 12400000 kg.

Scientific evidence documents the pattern of evolution. The evidence exists in a variety of categories. What are these categorie

Sauron [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Scientific evidence takes note of the pattern of evolution. The evidence exists in a variety of categories, including direct observation of evolutionary change, the fossil record, homology, and biogeography.

Examples of the categories with their respective examples are:

Direct observation of evolutionary change: Development of drug resistant bacteria

Fossil record: Discovery of transitional forms of horses, Discovery of shells of extinct species

Homology: Similarities in mammalian forelimbs, Same genetic code in fireflies and tobacco plants, Vestigial pelvis in right whales

Biogeography: Similarity of endemic island species to nearby mainland species, The high concentration of marsupial species in Australia

An AM radio station broadcasts isotropically (equally in all directions) with an average power of 3.80 kW. A receiving antenna 7

Alecsey [184]

Answer:0.1759 v

Explanation:

Intensity of wave at receiver end is

I= $\frac{P_{avg}}{A}$

I= $\frac{3.80\times 10^3}{4\times \pi \times \left ( 4\times 1609.34\right )^2}$

I= $7.296\times 10^{-6} W/m^2$

Amplitude of electric field at receiver end

$E_{max}=\sqrt{2I\mu _0c}$

Amplitude of induced emf

= $E_{max}d$

= $\sqrt{2\times 7.29\times 10-6\times 4\pi \times 3\times 10^8}\times 0.75$

= $17.591\times 10^{-2}=0.1759 v$

In the diagram below, a heavy box is being lifted. What is the function of the pulley in this situation?

zepelin [54]

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The function of the pulley in this situation is to change the direction of the input force. <span> The </span>pulley<span> simply turns a force in one direction into a force in another direction. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
