Answer:

0.4752 oz.

Explanation:

Length = 1000 ft

Converting ft to inches,

12 in = 1 ft

1000 ft = 1000 * 12

= 12000 in

0.05082 in = 0.12908 cm

Mass = 19.8 lb

Converting lb to oz,

1 ounce = 0.0625 lb

1 lb = 1/0.0625 oz

19.8 lb = 1/0.0625 * 19.8

= 316.8 ounce

Since, 12000 in of copper wire weighs 316.8 ounces.

Therefore, 1 in will weigh = 316.8/12000

= 0.0264 oz

18 in = 0.0264 * 18

= 0.4752 oz.

Answer:

mu = 0.56

Explanation:

The friction force is calculated by taking into account the deceleration of the car in 25m. This can be calculated by using the following formula:

$v^2=v_0^2+2ax\\$

v: final speed = 0m/s (the car stops)

v_o: initial speed in the interval of interest = 60km/h

= 60(1000m)/(3600s) = 16.66m/s

x: distance = 25m

BY doing a the subject of the formula and replace the values of v, v_o and x you obtain:

$a=\frac{v^2-v_o^2}{2x}=\frac{0m^2/s^2-(16.66m/s)^2}{2(25m)}=-5.55\frac{m}{s^2}$

with this value of a you calculate the friction force that makes this deceleration over the car. By using the Newton second's Law you obtain:

$F_f=ma=(1490kg)(5.55m/s^2)=8271.15N$

Furthermore, you use the relation between the friction force and the friction coefficient:

$F_f= \mu N=\mu mg\\\\\mu=\frac{F_f}{mg}=\frac{8271.15N}{(1490kg)(9.8m/s^2)}=0.56$

hence, the friction coefficient is 0.56

What is the magnetic flux density (B-field) at a distance of 0.36 m from a long, straight wire carrying a current of 3.8 A in ai

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The magnetic flux density is $2.11\times10^{-6}\ T$

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 0.36 m

Current = 3.8 A

We need to calculate the magnetic flux density

Using formula of magnetic field

$B =\dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{2r}$

Where,

r = radius

I = current

Put the value into the formula

$B =\dfrac{4\pi\times10^{-7}\times3.8}{2\times\pi\times0.36}$

$B=2.11\times10^{-6}\ T$

Hence, The magnetic flux density is $2.11\times10^{-6}\ T$
