What would happen if you use a thicker wire around the iron nail of an electromagnet? (thats the whole question)

puteri [66]

Answer:

When we have a current I, we will have a magnetic field perpendicular to this current.

Then if we have a wire in a "spring" form. then we will have a magnetic field along the center of this "spring".

Now suppose we put an iron object in the middle (where the magnetic field is) then we will magnetize the iron object.

Of course, the intensity of the magnetic field is proportional to the current, given by:

B = (μ*I)/(2*π*r)

Where:

μ is a constant, I is the current and r is the distance between to the current.

Now remember that for a resistor:

R = ρ*L/A

R is the resistance, ρ is the resistivity, which depends on the material of the wire, L is the length of the wire, and A is the cross-section of the wire.

If we increase the area of the wire (if we use a thicker wire).

And the relation between resistance and current is:

I = V/R

Where V is the voltaje.

Now, if we use a thicker wire, then the cross-section area of the wire increases.

Notice in the resistance equation, that the cross-section area is on the denominator, then if we increase the area A, the resistance decreases.

And the resistance is on the denominator of the current equation, then if we decrease R, the current increases.

If the current increases, the magnetic field increases, which means that we will have a stronger electromagnet.

Two massless bags contain identical bricks, each brick having a mass M. Initially, each bag contains four bricks, and the bags m

stepladder [879]

Answer: $F_{2}=\frac{3}{4}F_{1}$

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation:

$F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}$

Where:

$F$ is the module of the force exerted between both bodies

$G$ is the universal gravitation constant.

$m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ are the masses of both bodies.

$r$ is the distance between both bodies

In this case we have two situations:

1) Two bags with masses $4M$ and $4M$ mutually exerting a gravitational attraction $F_{1}$ on each other:

$F_{1}=G\frac{(4M)(4M)}{r^2}$ (1)

$F_{1}=G\frac{16M^2}{r^2}$ (2)

$F_{1}=16\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ (3)

2) Two bags with masses $2M$ and $6M$ mutually exerting a gravitational attraction $F_{2}$ on each other (assuming the distance between both bags is the same as situation 1):

$F_{2}=G\frac{(2M)(6M)}{r^2}$ (4)

$F_{2}=G\frac{12M^2}{r^2}$ (5)

$F_{2}=12\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ (6)

Now, if we isolate $\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ from (3):

$\frac{F_{1}}{16}=\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ (7)

Substituting $\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ found in (7) in (6):

$F_{2}=12(\frac{F_{1}}{16})$ (8)

$F_{2}=\frac{12}{16}F_{1}$ (9)

Simplifying, we finally get the expression for $F_{2}$ in terms of $F_{1}$ :

$F_{2}=\frac{3}{4}F_{1}$

What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit?

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

80Ω

Explanation:

Resistance in a series circuit (when one resistor is after another in the same line) is calculated with the following equation

Total resistance = R1 + R2 + R3...Rn

Substitute in your values and solve for total resistance

Total resistance = 60 + 20 = 80Ω

A swimmer bounces straight up from a diving board and falls feet first into a pool. She starts with a velocity of 3.00 m/s, and

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

A) 0.9844 s

B) x2 = 0.4587 m

C) v = 6.657 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Height of take off point above pool; x1 = 1.8 m

Initial take off velocity; u = 3 m/s

Final velocity at highest point before free fall; v = 0 m/s

B) To find the highest point above the board her feet reaches means the distance from take off to the top of the motion just before free fall.

Thus, we will be using equation of motion and we have;

v² = u² + 2gs

Now, let s = x2 which will be the distance between take off and the top before free fall.

So;

v² = u² + 2g(x2)

Now,since the motion is against gravity, g will be negative.

Thus;

v² = u² + 2(-9.81)(x2)

Plugging in the relevant values to give;

0² = 3² - (19.62x2)

19.62(x2) = 9

x2 = 9/19.62

x2 = 0.4587 m

A) We want to find how long her feet is in air.. It means we want to find out the time to get to a distance of x1 and also the time to achieve the distance (x1 + x2) on free-fall.

Thus, using equation of motion;

v = u + gt

Again, g = -9.81

Thus;

0 = 3 - 9.81t1

9.81t1 = 3

t1 = 3/9.81

t1 = 0.3058 s

Now, for the time taken to achieve the distance (x1 + x2) on free-fall, we will use the formula;

s = ut + ½gt²

Where s = (x1 + x2) = 1.8 + 0.4587 = 2.2587 m

And now, u = 0 m/s because the start of the free fall is from maximum height with velocity of 0 m/s. Again, g = - 9.81 m/s²

Thus;

2.2587 = 0 - ½(-9.81)(t2)²

2.2587 = 4.905(t2)²

(t2)² = 2.2587/4.905

(t2)² = 0.4605

t2 = √0.4605

t2 = 0.6786 s

Thus, total time of feet in air = t1 + t2 = 0.3058 + 0.6786 = 0.9844 s

C) Velocity when feet hit the water would be given by;

v = u + gt

Where u = 0 m/s and t = t2 = 0.6786

Since it's in direction of gravity, g = 9.81 m/s

v = 0 + (0.6786 × 9.81)

v = 6.657 m/s
