Hello

1) First of all, since we know the radius of the wire (r=1.2~mm=0.0012~m), we can calculate its cross-sectional area
A=\pi r^2 = 3.14 \cdot (0.0012~m)^2=4.5\cdot10^{-6}~m^2

2)  Then, we can calculate the current density J inside the wire. Since we know the current, I=3~A, and the area calculated at the previous step, we have
J= \frac{I}{A}= \frac{3~A}{4.5\cdot10^{-6}~m^2} = 6.63\cdot10^5 ~A/m^2

3) Finally, we can calculate the electric field E applied to the wire. Given the conductivity \sigma=3.6\cdot10^7~ \frac{A}{Vm} of the aluminium, the electric field is given by
E= \frac{J}{\sigma}= \frac{ 6.63\cdot10^5 ~A/m^2}{3.6\cdot10^7~ \frac{A}{Vm} } = 0.018~V/m

How is amplitude changed in an instrument or tuning fork
azamat

Amplitude is affected by the energy wave in the instrument. High energy wave means high amplitude and low energy wave means low amplitude.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The amplitude of a periodic variable is a measure of its change over a single period. There are various definitions of amplitude, which are all functions of the magnitude of the differences between the variable's extreme values.

The amount of energy carried by a wave is related to the amplitude of the wave. Amplitude of an instrument is directly affected by the wave of the energy in the instruments. High energy wave means high amplitude and low energy wave means low amplitude in the instrument.

A car in motion has kinetic energy. What happens to the kinetic energy when the car brakes to a stop? The kinetic energy is tran
Pie

Answer:

<em>When a moving car brakes to a stop the </em><em>kinetic energy of the car is converted to heat energy. </em>

Explanation:

A moving car has kinetic energy.

It is given by the equation k=\frac{1}{2} mv^2

Where m denotes mass of the car and v denote sits velocity. When the brakes are applied the velocity becomes zero and the car doesn’t possess kinetic energy anymore.

According to law of conservation of energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but can only be transformed from one form to another. On coming to a stop,  the kinetic energy of the car  gets converted to heat. The friction between the tyre and the road heats up the tyre.

A force in the +x-direction with magnitude ????(x) = 18.0 N − (0.530 N/m)x is applied to a 6.00 kg box that is sitting on the ho
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

v_f=8.17\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

First, we calculate the work done by this force after the box traveled 14 m, which is given by:

W=\int\limits^{x_f}_{x_0} {F(x)} \, dx \\W=\int\limits^{14}_{0} ({18N-0.530\frac{N}{m}x}) \, dx\\W=[(18N)x-(0.530\frac{N}{m})\frac{x^2}{2}]^{14}_{0}\\W=(18N)14m-(0.530\frac{N}{m})\frac{(14m)^2}{2}-(18N)0+(0.530\frac{N}{m})\frac{0^2}{2}\\W=252N\cdot m-52N\cdot m\\W=200N\cdot m

Since we have a frictionless surface, according to the the work–energy principle, the work done by all forces acting on a particle equals the change in the kinetic energy of the particle, that is:

W=\Delta K\\W=K_f-K_i\\W=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-\frac{mv_i^2}{2}

The box is initially at rest, so v_i=0. Solving for v_f:

v_f=\sqrt{\frac{2W}{m}}\\v_f=\sqrt{\frac{2(200N\cdot m)}{6kg}}\\v_f=\sqrt{66.67\frac{m^2}{s^2}}\\v_f=8.17\frac{m}{s}

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

option E

Explanation:

the correct answer is option E

the direction of magnetic field will be found out with the help of right hand rule.

Put you palm in the direction of electric field and curl your finger in the direction of magnetic field which east direction.

 now, the direction shown by the thumb will be the direction of magnetic field  which comes out to be toward South direction.
