Answer: Descartes was more of speed which defers from modern day velocity.

Explanation:

Descartes law if conservation referred or defined “motion” rather than “momentum” as what is obtainable in today's world as ”speed” the rate at which something moves rather than “velocity” which is a product of speed and direction. So in conclusion Descartes was more of speed which defers from modern day velocity.

What problems do pathogens cause in our society?

kotegsom [21]

Pathogens are microorganisms that cause infectious diseases. Bacteria and viruses are the main pathogens in the world today.

The major problem that pathogen cause in society is that they are the agents of infection and disease.

An infection results when a pathogen invades the body and begins growing within a host. A disease results when tissue function is impaired due to an infection.

Due to diseases, affected people can not work which negatively affects the economy, and the sick may end up dying causing a lot of grief, and robbing society of a father, a mother or child.

The government has to put money aside for health care which would otherwise have been used for other things to help the society.

A hollow cylinder with an inner radius of 5 mm and an outer radius of 26 mm conducts a 4-A current flowing parallel to the axis

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

B = 38.2μT

Explanation:

By the Ampere's law you have that the magnetic field generated by a current, in a wire, is given by:

$B=\frac{\mu_o I_r}{2\pi r}$ (1)

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

r: distance from the center of the cylinder, in which B is calculated

Ir: current for the distance r

In this case, you first calculate the current Ir, by using the following relation:

$I_r=JA_r$

J: current density

Ar: cross sectional area for r in the hollow cylinder

Ar is given by $A_r=\pi(r^2-R_1^2)$

The current density is given by the total area and the total current:

$J=\frac{I_T}{A_T}=\frac{I_T}{\pi(R_2^2-R_1^2)}$

R2: outer radius = 26mm = 26*10^-3 m

R1: inner radius = 5 mm = 5*10^-3 m

IT: total current = 4 A

Then, the current in the wire for a distance r is:

$I_r=JA_r=\frac{I_T}{\pi(R_2^2-R_1^2)}\pi(r^2-R_1^2)\\\\I_r=I_T\frac{r^2-R_1^2}{R_2^2-R_1^2}$ (2)

You replace the last result of equation (2) into the equation (1):

$B=\frac{\mu_oI_T}{2\pi r}(\frac{r^2-R_1^2}{R_2^2-R_1^2})$

Finally. you replace the values of all parameters:

$B=\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(4A)}{2\PI (12*10^{-3}m)}(\frac{(12*10^{-3})^2-(5*10^{-3}m)^2}{(26*10^{-3}m)^2-(5*10^{-3}m)^2})\\\\B=3.82*10^{-5}T=38.2\mu T$
