I'm not sure, I think it's option A.

Let me know if I'm wrong!

The terminals of a 0.70 Vwatch battery are connected by a 80.0-m-long gold wire with a diameter of 0.200 mm What is the current

Komok [63]

Answer:

$I=0.047A$

Explanation:

Let's use Ohm's law:

$V=IR$

$I=\frac{V}{R}$ (1)

Where:

$V=Voltage\\I=Current\\R=Electrical\hspace{2 mm}Resistance$

We know the value of the voltage V, so we need to find the value of R in order to find I. Fortunately there is a relation between the resistivity of a conductor and its electrical resistance given by:

$R=\rho*\frac{l}{A}$ (2)

Where:

$R=Electrical\hspace{2 mm}Resistance\\l=Length\hspace{2 mm}of\hspace{2 mm}the\hspace{2 mm}conductor=80m\\A=Cross\hspace{2 mm}sectional\hspace{2 mm}area\hspace{2 mm}of\hspace{2 mm}the\hspace{2 mm}conductor=1.256637061*10^{-7} \\\rho=Electrical\hspace{2 mm}resistivity\hspace{2 mm}of\hspace{2 mm}the\hspace{2 mm}material=2.35*10^{-8}$

Keep in mind that the electrical resistivity of the gold is a known constant which is $\rho_g_o_l_d=2.35*10^{-8}$ and the cross sectional area of the conductor is calculated as:

$A=\pi *(r^{2})=\pi *(0.0002m)^{2} =1.256637061*10^{-7} m^{2}$

Because we have a wire in this case, so we assume a cylindrical geometry.

Now replacing our data in (2)

$R=(2.35*10^{-8})*\frac{80}{1.256637061*10^{-7} } =14.96056465\Omega$

Finally, we know R and V, so replacing these values in (1) we will be able to find the current:

$I=\frac{0.7}{14.96056465}\approx0.047A$

By what factor would your weight increase if you could stand on the sun? (never mind that you can't.)

Fofino [41]

Gravity on the surface of sun is given as

$g = \frac{GM}{R^2}$

here we know that

$M = 1.98 \times 10^{30} kg$

$R = 6.95 \times 10^8 m$

now we will have

$g = \frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(1.98 \times 10^30)}{(6.95 \times 10^8)^2}$

$g = 273.4 m/s^2$

now we need to find the ratio of weight on surface of sun and on surface of Earth

$R = \frac{mg_{sun}}{mg_{earth}}$

$R = \frac{273.4}{9.8} = 28 times$

so weight will increase by 28 times

Alpha particles, each having a charge of +2e and a mass of 6.64 ×10-27 kg, are accelerated in a uniform 0.50 T magnetic field to

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

$KE=1.2036\times 10^{-12}\ J$

Explanation:

Given:

charge on the alpha particle, $q=2e=3.2\times 10^{-19}\ C$

mass of the alpha particle, $m=6.64\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

strength of a uniform magnetic field, $B=0.5\ T$

radius of the final orbit, $r=0.5\ m$

<u>During the motion of a charge the magnetic force and the centripetal forces are balanced:</u>

$q.v.B=m.\frac{v^2}{r}$

$m.v=q.B.r$

where:

v = velocity of the alpha particle

$v=\frac{q.B.r}{m}$

$v=\frac{3.2\times 10^{-19}\times 0.5\times 0.5}{6.64\times 10^{-27}}$

$v=1.2048\times 10^{7}\ m.s^{-1}$

Here we observe that the velocity of the aprticle is close to the velocity of light. So the kinetic energy will be relativistic.

<u>We firstly find the relativistic mass as:</u>

$m'=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } } \times m$

$m'=\frac{6.64\times 10^{-27}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(1.2048\times 10^7)^2}{(3\times 10^8)^2} } }$

$m'=6.6533\times10^{-27}\ kg$

now kinetic energy:

$KE=m'.c-m.c$

$KE=6.6533\times 10^{-27}\times (3\times 10^8)^2-6.64\times 10^{-27}\times (3\times 10^8)^2$

$KE=1.2036\times 10^{-12}\ J$

You travel in a car 30 miles north to ava and home again. what is your distance? __________________________________________ what

Luden [163]

If you travel 30 miles somewhere and then come home again your distance is 60 miles. Your displacement is 0 because it is the ending position minus the beginning position, which are the same place (home). In other words, displacement is a vector and distance is a scalar.
