A typical mattress has a network of springs that provide support. If you sit on a mattress, the springs compress. A heavier pers

on compresses the springs more than a lighter person. Use the properties of springs and spring forces to explain why.

Answer:

Explanation:

Spring has a tendency to store energy in them and deform its shape when force is applied on it. Once the applied force is removed it regains its original shape and size.

It is in helical shape and is used in mattress to give structure and support. Spring have elastic nature and follows spring forces, F = k * x

where is the applied force, k is the spring constant and x is the amount of extension.

When a heavier person sits on a mattress, more weight is applied on springs and they form coils, as weight is removed they regains its shape again.

Two generators use the same magnetic field and operate at the same frequency. Each has a single-turn circular coil. One generato
Volgvan

Answer:

The coil radius of other generator is 5.15 cm

Explanation:

Consider the equation for induced emf in a generator coil:

EMF = NBAω Sin(ωt)

where,

N = No. of turns in coil

B = magnetic field

A = Cross-sectional area of coil = π r²

ω = angular velocity

t = time

It is given that for both the coils magnetic field, no. of turn and frequency is same. Since, the frequency is same, therefore, the angular velocity, will also be same. As, ω = 2πft.

Therefore, EMF for both coils or generators will be:

EMF₁ = NBπr₁²ω Sin(ωt)

EMF₂ = NBπr₂²ω Sin(ωt)

dividing both the equations:

EMF₁/EMF₂ = (r₁/r₂)²

r₂ = r₁ √(EMF₂/EMF₁)

where,

EMF₁ = 1.8 V

EMF₂ = 3.9 V

r₁ = 3.5 cm

r₂ = ?

Therefore,

r₂ = (3.5 cm)√(3.9 V/1.8 V)

<u>r₂ = 5.15 cm</u>

Does the mass of a pendulum affects the period of oscillation
pshichka [43]
Mass does not affect the pendulum's swing. The longer the length of string, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period, or back and forth swing of the pendulum. The greater the amplitude, or angle, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period.

In Niels Bohr's 1913 model of the hydrogen atom, the single electron is in a circular orbit of radius 5.29×10⁻¹¹m and its speed
Svet_ta [14]

The magnitude of the magnetic moment due to the electron's motion is 87.87 * 10^{-37}.

<h3>What is magnetic moment?</h3>

The magnetic pull and direction of a magnet or other object that produces a magnetic field are referred to as the magnetic moment in electromagnetism. Things that have magnetic moments include electromagnets, permanent magnets, various compounds, elementary particles like electrons, and a number of celestial objects (such as many planets, some moons, stars, etc).

The term "magnetic moment" really refers to the magnetic dipole moment of a system, which is the portion of the magnetic moment that can be represented by an equivalent magnetic dipole or a pair of magnetic north and south poles that are only very slightly apart. The magnetic dipole component is adequate for sufficiently small magnets or over sufficiently large distances.

Calculations:

radius= 5.29 * 10^{-11} m\\

velocity=2.9* 10^{6} m/s

Working formula, M=N/A

I=\frac{charge flow }{time taken} =\frac{e}{time taken\\}

T= \frac{2xr}{v} =\frac{2xx * 5.29 * 10^{-11} }{2.9* 10^{6} }

   =15.16 * 10^{-5} s

I= \frac{1.6 * 10^{-19} }{15.16 * 10^{-5} }= 0.10 * 10^{-14}

                     =1 * 10^{-15} C

M=1x (1* 10^{-15} * (5.29 * 10^{-11} )^{2}

  =87.87 * 10^{-37}
