Gravitational energy can be negative?

Physics

1 answer:

AlladinOne [14]3 years ago

6 0

answer:

yes

explanation:

At a separation of the surface of Earth (r=6400km) gravity wants pull the test mass closer and closer. ... So the work done by gravity is NEGATIVE. The gravitational potential energy is negative because us trying to do the opposite of what gravity wants needs positive energy.

Whats the difference between identical and fraternal twins

IrinaK [193]

Twin type has less to do with what twins look like and more to do with how they formed.
Identical, or monozygotic, twins form when a single fertilized egg splits and develop as two babies in the uterus. Identical twins originate from the same combination of cells and have the same genetic origin. They are ALWAYS the same sex, two girls/two boys. They may look very similar and it may be difficult to tell them apart.
Fraternal, or dizygotic, twins are two individuals from the same pregnancy who from TWO SEPARATE eggs fertilized by TWO SEPARATE SPERM. The genetic similarity between fraternal twins is the same as any two siblings, about 50 percent. They can be boys, girls, or one of each.

A long, hollow, cylindrical conductor (inner radius 3.4 mm, outer radius 7.3 mm) carries a current of 36 A distributed uniformly

Elden [556K]

Answer:

a. $B= 9.45 \times10^{-3} T$

b. $B= 0.820 T$

c. $B= 0.0584 T$

Explanation:

First, look at the picture to understand the problem before to solve it.

a. d1 = 1.1 mm

Here, the point is located inside the cilinder, just between the wire and the inner layer of the conductor. Therefore, we only consider the wire's current to calculate the magnetic field as follows:

To solve the equations we have to convert all units to those of the international system. (mm→m)

$B=\frac{u_{0}I_{w}}{2\pi d_{1}} =\frac{52 \times4\pi \times10^{-7} }{2\pi 1.1 \times 10^{-3}} =9.45 \times10^{-3} T\\$

μ0 is the constant of proportionality

μ0=4πX10^-7 N*s2/c^2

b. d2=3.6 mm

Here, the point is located in the surface of the cilinder. Therefore, we have to consider the current density of the conductor to calculate the magnetic field as follows:

J: current density

c: outer radius

b: inner radius

The cilinder's current is negative, as it goes on opposite direction than the wire's current.

$J= \frac {-I_{c}}{\pi(c^{2}-b^{2} ) }}$

$J=\frac{-36}{\pi(5.33\times10^{-5}-1.16\times10^{-5}) } =-274.80\times10^{3} A/m^{2}$

$B=\frac{u_{0}(I_{w}-JA_{s})}{2\pi d_{2} } \\A_{s}=\pi (d_{2}^{2}-b^2)=4.40\times10^{-6} m^2\\$

$B=\frac{6.68\times10^{-5}}{8.14\times10^{-5}} =0.820 T$

c. d3=7.4 mm

Here, the point is located out of the cilinder. Therefore, we have to consider both, the conductor's current and the wire's current as follows:

$B=\frac{u_{0}(I_w-I_c)}{2\pi d_3 } =\frac{2.011\times10^-5}{3.441\times10^{-4}} =0.0584 T$

As we see, the magnitud of the magnetic field is greater inside the conductor, because of the density of current and the material's nature.
