1. What types of elements does an ionic bond occur between?

sweet [91]

Answer:

Ionic bonds form when a nonmetal and a metal exchange electrons, while covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between two nonmetals. An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions.

The magnetic field at the center of a wire loop of radius , which carries current , is 1 mT in the direction (arrows along the w

Citrus2011 [14]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The magnetic field is $B_{net} = \frac{1}{4} * mT$

And the direction is $-\r k$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The magnetic field at the center is $B = 1mT$

Generally magnetic field is mathematically represented as

$B = \frac{\mu_o I}{2R}$

We are told that it is equal to 1mT

$B = \frac{\mu_o I}{2R} = 1mT$

From the first diagram we see that the effect of the current flowing in the circular loop is (i.e the magnetic field generated)

$\frac{\mu_o I}{2R} = 1mT$

This implies that the effect of a current flowing in the smaller semi-circular loop is (i.e the magnetic field generated)

$B_1 = \frac{1}{2} \frac{\mu_o I}{2R}$

and for the larger semi-circular loop is

$B_2 = \frac{1}{2} \frac{\mu_o I}{2 * (2R)}$

Now a closer look at the second diagram will show us that the current in the semi-circular loop are moving in the opposite direction

So the net magnetic field would be

$B_{net} = B_1 - B_2$

$= \frac{1}{2} \frac{\mu_o I}{2R} -\frac{1}{2} \frac{\mu_o I}{2 * (2R)}$

$=\frac{\mu_o I}{4R} -\frac{\mu_o I }{8R}$

$=\frac{\mu_o I}{8R}$

$= \frac{1}{4} \frac{\mu_o I}{2R}$

Recall $\frac{\mu_o I}{2R} = 1mT$

$B_{net} = \frac{1}{4} * mT$

Using the Right-hand rule we see that the direction is into the page which is $-k$

A train slows down as it rounds a sharp horizontal turn, going from 94.0 km/h to 46.0 km/h in the 17.0 s that it takes to round

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

1.41 m/s^2

Explanation:

First of all, let's convert the two speeds from km/h to m/s:

$u = 94.0 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h} = 26.1 m/s$

$v=46.0 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=12.8 m/s$

Now we find the centripetal acceleration which is given by

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

v = 12.8 m/s is the speed

r = 140 m is the radius of the curve

Substituting values, we find

$a_c=\frac{(12.8 m/s)^2}{140 m}=1.17 m/s^2$

we also have a tangential acceleration, which is given by

$a_t = \frac{v-u}{t}$

where

t = 17.0 s

Substituting values,

$a_t=\frac{12.8 m/s-26.1 m/s}{17.0 s}=-0.78 m/s^2$

The two components of the acceleration are perpendicular to each other, so we can find the resultant acceleration by using Pythagorean theorem:

$a=\sqrt{a_c^2+a_t^2}=\sqrt{(1.17 m/s^2)+(-0.78 m/s^2)}=1.41 m/s^2$
