How does wire thickness affect the power of the electromagnet?

Physics

It does not depend on the thickness of the wire. Well, not directly.

As steveastrouk wrote, the magnetic field depends on the current through the wire and how often the wire goes around the core - the number of loops.

If you use a thinner wire, you can wrap more turns into a given space. Good for the magnetic field!  But...

A thinner wire means more resistance. More turns mean a longer wire and that means even more resistance.  More resistance means that a given voltage can drive less current through the wire. Less current means a lower magnetic field.

If and when the two effects cancel each other, well that's what math is for.

(Of course you could increase the voltage to keep the current in the thinner wire the same as in the thicker wire, but that would increase the thermal losses in the wire as well.)

The airplane is flying with a constant velocity. Which force acting on the airplane below represents the friction from air resis
tankabanditka [31]

The correct answer to the question is  C i.e C represents the friction from air resistance.

EXPLANATION:

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand friction.

The friction is the opposing force which acts tangentially between two bodies in contact when there is a relative motion between them.

The air resistance is that frictional force which is provided by the air to the moving body through it. Hence, the friction from air resistance will be directed opposite to the motion of the body.

In the given diagram, the airplane is going horizontally. The force A acts in forward direction while force C acts in backward direction. The forces B and D are acting vertically.  There is no motion in vertical direction. Hence, the net force of A and C will cause the airplane to move.

As the plane is moving along the direction of A, the frictional force must act along the direction of C.

The speed of sound at room temperature (20 degrees Celsius) is 343 m/s. If the speed of sound in air increases about 0.60 m/s fo
stepan [7]

Answer:

36,67 degrees Celsius

Explanation:

The simplest way to approach this problem, given the information provided, is to simply start with the speed difference.

Goal: 353 m/s

Start: 343 m/s (at 20 degrees Celsius).

Difference: 10 m/s

Variation rate: 0.60 m/s/d (d = degree)

d = \frac{10 m/s}{0.60 m/s/d}  = 16,67 d

So, 16,67 degrees more than the starting point.

The temperature will then be 36.67 degrees Celsius, when the sound travels at the speed of 353 m/s.

Liz rushes down onto a subway platform to find her train already departing. she stops and watches the cars go by. each car is 8.
Snezhnost [94]

 

The average velocity can be calculated using the formula:

v = d / t

For the 1st car, the velocity is calculated as:

v1 = 8.60 m / 1.80 s = 4.78 m / s

While that of the 2nd car is:

v2 = 8.60 m / 1.66 s = 5.18 m / s

 

Now we can solve for the acceleration using the formula:

v2^2 = v1^2 + 2 a d

Rewriting in terms of a:

a = (v2^2 – v1^2) / 2 d

a = (5.18^2 – 4.78^2) / (2 * 8.6)

a = 0.23 m/s

 

Therefore the train has a constant acceleration of about 0.23 meters per second.
