6 0

Answer:

2.5N

Explanation:

since force is inversely proportional to square of the distance apart. that means the ratio of distance apart. so u have 12800×12800÷(6400××6400)=4/1

so the weight will be reduced to 1/4 of 10N

A person sits on a freely spinning lab stool that has no friction in its axle. When this person extends her arms, A. her moment

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

C. her moment of inertia increases and her angular speed decreases

D. her moment of inertia increases and her angular speed decreases

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of a body is the sum of the products of an increment of mass and the square of its distance from the center of rotation. When a spinning person extends her arms, part of her mass increases its distance from the center of rotation, so increases the moment of inertia.

The kinetic energy of a spinning body is jointly proportional to the moment of inertia and the square of the angular speed. Hence an increase in moment of inertia will result in a decrease in angular speed unless there is a change in the rotational kinetic energy.

This effect is used by figure skaters to increase their spin rate by drawing their arms and legs closer to the axis of rotation. Similarly, they can slow the spin by extending arms and legs.

When the person extends her arms, her moment of inertia increases and her angular speed decreases.

An object is 50 cm from a converging lens with a focal length of 40 cm . A real image is formed on the other side of the lens, 2

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

d) -4.0

Explanation:

The magnification of a lens is given by

$M=-\frac{q}{p}$

where

M is the magnification

q is the distance of the image from the lens

p is the distance of the object from the lens

In this problem, we have

p = 50 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

q = 250 cm - 50 cm is the distance of the image from the lens (because the image is 250 cm from the obejct

Also, q is positive since the image is real

So, the magnification is

$M=-\frac{200 cm}{50 cm}=-4.0$

Solenoid 2 has twice the radius and six times the number of turns per unit length as solenoid 1. The ratio of the magnetic field

Xelga [282]

Answer:

Explanation:

The magnetic field inside a solenoid is given by the following formula:

$B = \mu_{0}nI$

where,

B = Magnetic Field Inside Solenoid

μ₀ = permittivity of free space

n = No. of turns per unit length

I = Current Passing through Solenoid

For Solenoid 1:

$B_{1} = \mu_{0}n_{1}I ------------------- equation 1$

For Solenoid 2:

n₂ = 6n₁

Therefore,

$B_{1} = \mu_{0}n_{2}I\\B_{1} = 6\mu_{0}n_{1}I ----------------- equation 2$

Diving equation 1 and equation 2:

$\frac{B_{2}}{B_{1}} = \frac{6\mu_{0}nI}{\mu_{0}nI}\\\\\frac{B_{2}}{B_{1}} = 6$

Hence, the correct option is:

6
