<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B) Electromagnets are powerful and can be turned on and off easily.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<em><u>Electromagnets are made by winding a wire through a magnetic material such as soft iron core making a coil, and then passing electric current through the coil thus making the soft iron core magnetic.</u></em>

The strength of the electromagnet depends on the number of coils and also the size of the electric current through the coil.

<em><u>Its advantageous to use electromagnets as compared to using permanent magnets since they are powerful and can be turned on and off easily and also the strength of the electromagnet can be easily adjusted by regulating the amount of current flowing through the coils. </u></em>

On a snowy day, max (mass = 15 kg) pulls his little sister maya in a sled (combined mass = 20 kg) through the slippery snow. max

sesenic [268]

Work done by a given force is given by

$W = F.d$

here on sled two forces will do work

1. Applied force by Max

2. Frictional force due to ground

Now by force diagram of sled we can see the angle of force and displacement

work done by Max = $W_1 = Fdcos\theta$

$W_1 = 12*5cos15$

$W_1 = 57.96 J$

Now similarly work done by frictional force

$W_2 = Fdcos\theta$

$W_2 = 4*5cos180$

$W_2= -20 J$

Now total work done on sled

$W_{net}= W_1 + W2$

$W_{net} = 57.96 - 20 = 37.96 J$

20. In a parallel RL circuit, 10 mA flows through the resistor and 4 mA flows through the inductor. What phase angle separates v

stellarik [79]

Answer:

Option D: 21.8 degrees

Explanation:

In a parallel RL circuit, the current in the resistor R and that in the inductor L are separated among themselves 90 degrees as illustrated in the attached image. In the image the current in the resistor is represented in orange, that of the inductor in blue, and the total current (vector addition of the previous two) is represented in red, forming a certain angle (theta) with respect to the current in the resistor. The output voltage is the same as the input voltage as measured over the resistor R.

Therefore, the phase angle that separated output voltage and total current can be obtained using the fact that tan(phase angle) = $\frac{I_l}{I_R} = \frac{x}{y} \frac{4}{10}$ , therefore the angle is the arctangent of 4/10:

$arctang(\frac{4}{10} )= 21.801$ degrees.

1) the weight of an object at Earth's surface is given by $F=mg$ , where m is the mass of the object and $g=9.81 m/s^2$ is the gravitational acceleration at Earth's surface. The book in this problem has a mass of m=2.2 kg, therefore its weight is
$F=mg=(2.2 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=21.6 N$

2) On Mars, the value of the gravitational acceleration is different: $g=3.7 m/s^2$ . The formula to calculate the weight of the object on Mars is still the same, but we have to use this value of g instead of the one on Earth: $F=mg=(2.2 kg)(3.7 m/s^2)=8.1 N$

3) The weight of the textbook on Venus is F=19.6 N. We already know its mass (m=2.2 kg), therefore by re-arranging the usual equation F=mg, we can find the value of the gravitational acceleration g on Venus:
$g= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{ 19.6 N}{2.2 kg}=8.9 m/s^2$

4) The mass of the pair of running shoes is m=0.5 kg. Their weight is F=11.55 N, therefore we can find the value of the gravitational acceleration g on Jupiter by re-arranging the usual equation F=mg:
$g= \frac{F}{m} = \frac{11.55 N}{0.5 kg} =23.1 m/s^2$

5) The weight of the pair of shoes of m=0.5 kg on Pluto is F=0.3 N. As in the previous step, we can calculate the strength of the gravity g on Pluto as
$g= \frac{F}{m} = \frac{0.3 N}{0.5 kg} =0.6 m/s^2$

<span>6) On Earth, the gravity acceleration is </span> $g=9.81 m/s^2$ <span>. The mass of the pair of shoes is m=0.5 kg, therefore their weight on Earth is
</span> $F=mg=(0.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=4.9 N$ <span>
