Why does the volume of water in a cylinder increase when it is heated

1 answer:

6 0

Heat causes the water molecules to move faster. As the molecules move apart, the water has a greater volume and less density.

A current of 16.0 mA is maintained in a single circular loop of 1.90 m circumference. A magnetic field of 0.790 T is directed pa

pav-90 [236]

Answer

given,

current (I) = 16 mA

circumference of the circular loop (S)= 1.90 m

Magnetic field (B)= 0.790 T

S = 2 π r

1.9 = 2 π r

r = 0.3024 m

a) magnetic moment of loop

M= I A

M= $16 \times 10^{-3} \times \pi \times r^2$

M= $16 \times 10^{-3} \times \pi \times 0.3024^2$

M= $4.59 \times 10^{-3}\ A m^2$

b) torque exerted in the loop

$\tau = M\ B$

$\tau = 4.59 \times 10^{-3}\times 0.79$

$\tau = 3.63 \times 10^{-3} N.m$

How do you find the direction of displacement?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

You draw a straight line from the start point to the end point. It doesn't matter what route was actually followed for the trip.

Suppose you lived in a pre-industrial society and needed to lift a heavy (20 kg) block a height of 5 m and had two choices for h

igomit [66]

Let's break the question into two parts:

1) The force needed in Ramp scenario.
2) The effort force needed in the lever scenario.

1. Ramp Scenario:
In an incline, the only component of cart's weight(mg) that is in the direction of motion is $mgsin \alpha$ . Therefore the effort force in this case must be equal or greater than $mgsin \alpha$ .

Now we need to find $\alpha$ . $\alpha$ is the angle between the incline of the ramp and the ground.

Since the height is 5m and the length of the ramp is 8m, $sin \alpha$ would be 5/8 or 0.625. Now that you have $sin \alpha$ , mutiple it with mg.

=> m*g* $sin \alpha$ = 20 * 10 * 5 / 8. (Taking g = 10 m/s² for simplicity) = 125N
Therefore, the minimum Effort force you would require in this case is 125N.

2. Lever Scenario:
Just apply "moment action" in this case, which is:
$F_{e} d_{e} = F_{r} d_{r}$

$F_{e}$ = ?

$F_{r}$ = mg = 20 * 10 = 200N
$d_{e}$ = 10m
$d_{r}$ = 1m

Plug-in the values in the above equation:
$F_{e}$ = 200/10= 20N

As 20N << 125N, the best choice is to use lever.

Angle = 45°

We need to find the greater speed of the ball
