The mathematical description that fits to find the circumference of a circle (Approximation we will make to the earth considering it Uniform) is,

$\phi = 2\pi r$

Here,

r = Radius

The radius of the earth is 6378.01 km or 6378010m

Replacing we have that the circumference of the Earth is

$\phi = 2\pi (6378010m)$

$\phi = 40074000 m$

$\phi = 40074*10^3 m$

Therefore the circumference of the Earth in m with 5 significant figures is $40074*10^3 m$ and using only trailing zeros the answer will be $40074000m$

A closely wound, circular coil with a diameter of 4.30 cm has 470 turns and carries a current of 0.460 A .

Nadusha1986 [10]

Hi there!

a)
Let's use Biot-Savart's law to derive an expression for the magnetic field produced by ONE loop.

$dB = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{id\vec{l} \times \hat{r}}{r^2}$

dB = Differential Magnetic field element

μ₀ = Permeability of free space (4π × 10⁻⁷ Tm/A)

R = radius of loop (2.15 cm = 0.0215 m)

i = Current in loop (0.460 A)

For a circular coil, the radius vector and the differential length vector are ALWAYS perpendicular. So, for their cross-product, since sin(90) = 1, we can disregard it.

$dB = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{id\vec{l}}{r^2}$

Now, let's write the integral, replacing 'dl' with 'ds' for an arc length:
$B = \int \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{ids}{R^2}$

Taking out constants from the integral:
$B =\frac{\mu_0 i}{4\pi R^2} \int ds$

Since we are integrating around an entire circle, we are integrating from 0 to 2π.

$B =\frac{\mu_0 i}{4\pi R^2} \int\limits^{2\pi R}_0 \, ds$

Evaluate:
$B =\frac{\mu_0 i}{4\pi R^2} (2\pi R- 0) = \frac{\mu_0 i}{2R}$

Plugging in our givens to solve for the magnetic field strength of one loop:

$B = \frac{(4\pi *10^{-7}) (0.460)}{2(0.0215)} = 1.3443 \mu T$

Multiply by the number of loops to find the total magnetic field:
$B_T = N B = 0.00631 = \boxed{6.318 mT}$

b)

Now, we have an additional component of the magnetic field. Let's use Biot-Savart's Law again:
$dB = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{id\vec{l} \times \hat{r}}{r^2}$

In this case, we cannot disregard the cross-product. Using the angle between the differential length and radius vector 'θ' (in the diagram), we can represent the cross-product as cosθ. However, this would make integrating difficult. Using a right triangle, we can use the angle formed at the top 'φ', and represent this as sinφ.

$dB = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{id\vec{l} sin\theta}{r^2}$

Using the diagram, if 'z' is the point's height from the center:

$r = \sqrt{z^2 + R^2 }\\\\sin\phi = \frac{R}{\sqrt{z^2 + R^2}}$

Substituting this into our expression:
$dB = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{id\vec{l}}{(\sqrt{z^2 + R^2})^2} }(\frac{R}{\sqrt{z^2 + R^2}})\\\\dB = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{iRd\vec{l}}{(z^2 + R^2)^\frac{3}{2}} }$

Now, the only thing that isn't constant is the differential length (replace with ds). We will integrate along the entire circle again:
$B = \frac{\mu_0 iR}{4\pi (z^2 + R^2)^\frac{3}{2}}} \int\limits^{2\pi R}_0, ds$

Evaluate:
$B = \frac{\mu_0 iR}{4\pi (z^2 + R^2)^\frac{3}{2}}} (2\pi R)\\\\B = \frac{\mu_0 iR^2}{2 (z^2 + R^2)^\frac{3}{2}}}$

Multiplying by the number of loops:
$B_T= \frac{\mu_0 N iR^2}{2 (z^2 + R^2)^\frac{3}{2}}}$

Plug in the given values:
$B_T= \frac{(4\pi *10^{-7}) (470) (0.460)(0.0215)^2}{2 ((0.095)^2 + (0.0215)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}} \\\\ = 0.00006795 = \boxed{67.952 \mu T}$

A carbon resistor is to be used as a thermometer. On a winter day when the temperature is 4.00°C, the resistance of the carbon r

dusya [7]

Answer:

28 degree C

Explanation:

We are given that

$T_1=4.00^{\circ}$

$R_1=217.7 \Ohm$

$R_2=215.1\Ohm$

$\alpha=-5.00\times 10^{-4}C^{-1}$

We have to find the temperature on a spring day when resistance is 215.1 ohm.

We know that

$\alpha(T_2-T_1)=\frac{R_2}{R_2}-1$

Using the formula

$-5.00\times 10^{-4}(T_2-4)=\frac{215.1}{217.7}-1$

$-5\times 10^{-4}(T_2-4)=0.988-1=-0.012$

$T_2-4=\frac{0.012}{5\times 10^{-4}}=24$

$T_2=24+4=28^{\circ}C$

Hence, the temperature on a spring day 28 degree C.

A child slides down a hill on a toboggan with an acceleration of 1.8 m/s^2. If she starts at rest, how far has she traveled in :

DENIUS [597]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The acceleration of the toboggan, $a=1.8\ m/s^2$

Initial speed of the toboggan, u = 0

We need to find the distance covered by the toboggan. Using the second equation of motion as :

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

At t = 1 s

$s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.8\times 1^2$

$s_1=0.9\ m$

At t = 2 s

$s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.8\times 2^2$

$s_2=3.6\ m$

At t = 3 s

$s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.8\times 3^2$

$s_3=8.1\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.
