Answer:

The horizontally applied force = 2360 N

Explanation:

<em>Force:</em> Force can be defined as the product of mass and acceleration. the S.I unit of force is Newton (N)

Fh = Fr + ma......... Equation 1

Where Fh = horizontally applied force, Fr = friction force, m = mass of the crate, a = acceleration of the crate.

<em>Given: m = 400 kg, a = 1 m/s²</em>

Fr = 1/2 W, W = mg ⇒W = 400×9.8 = 3920 N

∴Fr = 1/2(3920), Fr = 1960 N

Substituting these values into equation 1

Fh = 1960 + 400×1

Fh = 1960 + 400

Fh = 2360 N

Therefore the horizontally applied force = 2360 N

We want to construct a solenoid with a resistance of 4.30 Ω and generate a magnetic field of 3.70 × 10−2 T at its center when ap

marshall27 [118]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Resistance of solenoid,R=4.3 ohm

Magnetic field,B= $3.7\times 10^{-2} T$

Current,I=4.6 A

Diameter of wire,d=0.5 mm= $0.5\times 10^{-3} m$

Radius of wire,r= $\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.5\times 10^{-3}}{2}=0.25\times 10^{-3} m$

$1mm=10^{-3} m$

Radius of solenoid,r'=1 cm= $1\times 10^{-2} m$

$1 cm=10^{-2} m$

Resistivity of copper, $\rho=1.68\times 10^{-8}\Omega m$

We know that

$R=\frac{\rho l}{A}$

Where $A=\pi r^2$

Using the formula

$4.3=\frac{1.68\times 10^{-8}\times l}{\pi(0.25\times 10^{-3})^2}$

$l=\frac{4.3\times \pi(0.25\times 10^{-3})^2}{1.68\times 10^{-8}}=50.23 m$

Number of turns of wire= $\frac{l}{2\pi r'}$

Number of turns of wire= $\frac{50.26}{2\pi(1\times 10^{-2}}=800$

Hence, the number of turns of the solenoid,N=799

Magnetic field in solenoid,B= $\mu_0 nI$

$3.7\times 10^{-2}=4\pi\times 10^{-7} n\times 4.6$

$n=\frac{3.7\times 10^{-2}}{4\times 3.14\times 10^{-7}\times 4.6}$

$n=6404 turns/m$

$n=\frac{N}{L}$

$L=\frac{N}{n}$

$L=\frac{799}{6404}$

$L=0.125 m=0.125\times 100=12.5 cm$

Length of solenoid=12.5 cm

1m=100 cm

1. A toy car is marked to go at 0.5m/s, which of the following sets of

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

b. 0.6m/s, 0.7m/s, 0.61m/s, 0.62m/s

Explanation:

Precision of a measurement is the closeness of the experimental values to one another. Hence, experimental measurements are said to be precise if they are close to each other irrespective of how close they are to the accepted value. Precision can be determined by finding the range of each experimental value. The measurement with the LOWEST RANGE represents the MOST PRECISE.

Note: Range is the highest value - lowest value

Set A: 1.5 - 0.8 = 0.7

Set B: 0.7 - 0.6 = 0.1

Set C: 2.4 - 2.0 = 0.4

Set D: 3.1 - 2.9 = 0.2

Set B has the lowest range (0.1), hence, represent the most precise value.

Two satellites are in circular orbits around the earth. the orbit for satellite a is at a height of 542 km above the earth's sur

Evgen [1.6K]

Let R be radius of Earth with the amount of 6378 km h = height of satellite above Earth m = mass of satellite v = tangential velocity of satellite
Since gravitational force varies contrariwise with the square of the distance of separation, the value of g at altitude h will be 9.8*{[R/(R+h)]^2} = g'
So now gravity acceleration is g' and gravity is balanced by centripetal force mv^2/(R+h):
m*v^2/(R+h) = m*g' v = sqrt[g'*(R + h)]
Satellite A: h = 542 km so R+h = 6738 km = 6.920 e6 m g' = 9.8*(6378/6920)^2 = 8.32 m/sec^2 so v = sqrt(8.32*6.920e6) = 7587.79 m/s = 7.59 km/sec
Satellite B: h = 838 km so R+h = 7216 km = 7.216 e6 m g' = 9.8*(6378/7216)^2 = 8.66 m/sec^2 so v = sqrt(8.32*7.216e6) = 7748.36 m/s = 7.79 km/sec
