A mini rail gun made of a copper rod of mass m and radius r rests on two parallel copper rails that are a distance L apart and o

f length d. A magnetic field of magnitude B is directed perpendicular to the rod and the rails. When current is applied to the parallel copper rails, the rod rolls along the rails without slipping. If the rod starts from rest, what is the speed of the rod as it leaves the rails?

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnetic Force on the rod F = Bi L

Work done by this force = F X d

= Bi Ld

This energy is converted into both rotational and linear kinetic energy

= 1/2 I ω² + 1/2 mv²

= 1/2 x 1/2 m r²ω²+ 1/2 mv²

= 1/4 m v² + 1/2 mv²

= 3/4 mv²

So according to conservation of energy

Bi Ld = 3/4 mv²

v = $\sqrt{\frac{4BiLd}{3m} }$

The gravitational constant G was first measured accurately by Henry Cavendish in 1798. He used an exquisitely sensitive balance

belka [17]

The gravitational force between the spheres is

$F_{\rm g}=\dfrac{G(188\,\mathrm{kg})(0.93\,\mathrm{kg})}{(0.27\,\mathrm m)^2}\approx1.6\times10^{-7}\,\mathrm N$

where <em>G</em> = 6.674 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg².

The weight of the lighter sphere is

$F_{\rm w}=(0.93\,\mathrm{kg})g\approx9.1\,\mathrm N$

where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s².

The ratio between the two forces is then

$\dfrac{F_{\rm g}}{F_{\rm w}}\approx1.8\times10^{-8}$

Which of the following is correct definition of electrical energy

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Electrical energy. Jump to navigation Jump to search. Electrical energy is energy derived from electric potential energy or kinetic energy. When used loosely, electrical energy refers to energy that has been converted from electric potential energy

Suppose that the dipole moment associated with an iron atom of an iron bar is 2.8 × 10-23 J/T. Assume that all the atoms in the

masya89 [10]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the equations related to the magnetic moment, that is, the amount of force that an image can exert on the electric currents and the torque that a magnetic field exerts on them.

The diple moment associated with an iron bar is given by,

$\mu = \alpha *N$

Where,

$\alpha =$ Dipole momento associated with an Atom

N = Number of atoms

$\alpha$ y previously given in the problem and its value is 2.8*10^{-23}J/T

$L = 5.8cm = 5.8*10^{-2}m$

$A = 1.5cm^2 = 1.5*10^{-4}m^2$

The number of the atoms N, can be calculated as,

$N = \frac{\rho AL}{M_{mass}}*A_n$

Where

$\rho =$ Density

$M_{mass} =$ Molar Mass

A = Area

L = Length

$A_n =$ Avogadro number

$N = \frac{(7.9g/cm^3)(1.5cm)(5.8cm^2)}{55.9g/mol}(6.022*10^{23}atoms/mol)$

$N = 7.4041*10^{23}atoms$

Then applying the equation about the dipole moment associated with an iron bar we have,

$\mu = \alpha *N$

$\mu = (2.8*10^{-23})*(7.4041*10^{23})$

$\mu = 20.72Am^2$

PART B) With the dipole moment we can now calculate the Torque in the system, which is

$\tau = \mu B sin(90)$

$\tau = (20.72)(2.2)$

$\tau = 45.584N.m$

<em>Note: The angle generated is perpendicular, so it takes 90 ° for the calculation made.</em>

2CO + 2NO → 2CO2 + N2 is it balannced

natita [175]

If the same atoms appear on both sides, then it's balanced.

In this reaction, there are 4 Oxygens, 2 Carbons, and 2 Nitrogens on each side. So numerically, <em>it's balanced</em>. But I don't know enough chemistry to say whether the reaction is possible.
