Answer

The nail will become an electromagnet.

Explanation

When the switched is closed , a current will flow in the insulated wire. Then the current flows through the coil around the iron nail, it will induce am magnetic filed inside the nail. The nail becomes a magnet because it is made of magnetic material. As long as there is current flowing through the current, there nail will remain a magnet.

A torque of 36.5 N · m is applied to an initially motionless wheel which rotates around a fixed axis. This torque is the result

vivado [14]

Answer:

$21.6\ \text{kg m}^2$

$3.672\ \text{Nm}$

$54.66\ \text{revolutions}$

Explanation:

$\tau$ = Torque = 36.5 Nm

$\omega_i$ = Initial angular velocity = 0

$\omega_f$ = Final angular velocity = 10.3 rad/s

t = Time = 6.1 s

I = Moment of inertia

From the kinematic equations of linear motion we have

$\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha_1 t\\\Rightarrow \alpha_1=\dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\\\Rightarrow \alpha_1=\dfrac{10.3-0}{6.1}\\\Rightarrow \alpha_1=1.69\ \text{rad/s}^2$

Torque is given by

$\tau=I\alpha_1\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{\tau}{\alpha_1}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{36.5}{1.69}\\\Rightarrow I=21.6\ \text{kg m}^2$

The wheel's moment of inertia is $21.6\ \text{kg m}^2$

t = 60.6 s

$\omega_i$ = 10.3 rad/s

$\omega_f$ = 0

$\alpha_2=\dfrac{0-10.3}{60.6}\\\Rightarrow \alpha_1=-0.17\ \text{rad/s}^2$

Frictional torque is given by

$\tau_f=I\alpha_2\\\Rightarrow \tau_f=21.6\times -0.17\\\Rightarrow \tau=-3.672\ \text{Nm}$

The magnitude of the torque caused by friction is $3.672\ \text{Nm}$

Speeding up

$\theta_1=0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.69\times 6.1^2\\\Rightarrow \theta_1=31.44\ \text{rad}$

Slowing down

$\theta_2=10.3\times 60.6+\dfrac{1}{2}\times (-0.17)\times 60.6^2\\\Rightarrow \theta_2=312.03\ \text{rad}$

Total number of revolutions

$\theta=\theta_1+\theta_2\\\Rightarrow \theta=31.44+312.03=343.47\ \text{rad}$

$\dfrac{343.47}{2\pi}=54.66\ \text{revolutions}$

The total number of revolutions the wheel goes through is $54.66\ \text{revolutions}$ .

Three identical resistors are connected in parallel to a battery. If the current of 12. A flows from the battery, how much curre

Doss [256]

Answer:

4 A

Explanation:

We are given that

$R_1=R_2=R_3=4\Omega$

I=12 A

We have to find the current flowing through each resistor.

We know that in parallel combination current flowing through different resistors are different and potential difference across each resistor is same.

Formula :

$\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}$
