Samburu the elephant has a mass of 1650kg. If each of his feet cover an area of .25 m^2, how much pressure does samburu exert on

Samburu's weight is (mass x gravity) = (1650kg x 9.8 m/s²) = 16,170 Newtons.

Samburu's contact area with the ground is (0.25 m²/hoof) x (4 hoofs) = 1 m² .

Pressure = (force) / (area) = (16,170 Newtons) / (1 m²) = 16,170 Pascal .

Find the radius of the path described by a proton moving at 15 km/s in a plane perpendicular to a 400-g magnetic field.
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The radius described the proton moving is

r=3.91mm

Explanation:

The magnetic field that moving the proton with the velocity

v=15 km/s

To find the radius combinate the magnetic field with the mass of the proton and the charge of the proton

r = mv=eB

r = mv/eB

r=\frac{(1.67*10^{-27})*(15\frac{km}{s})}{(1.6*10^{-19})(4*10^-2kg)}

r = 3.9mm

If during the submerged weighing procedure air bubbles were to adhere to the object, how would the experimental results be affec
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

see from this analysis, the apparent weight of the body is lower due to the push created by the air brujuleas

Explanation:

We will propose this exercise using Archimedes' principle, which establishes that the thrust on a body is equal to the volume of the desalted liquid.

          B = ρ g V

The weight of a submerged body is the net force between the weight and the thrust

          F_net = W - B

we can write the weight as a function of the density

          ρ_body = m / V

         m =  ρ_body V

         W = mg

         W =  ρ _body g V

we substitute

         F_net= ( ρ_body -  ρ _fluid) g V

In general this force is directed downwards, we can call this value the apparent weight of the body. This is the weight of the submerged body.

          W_aparente = ( ρ_body -  ρ _fluid) g V

If some air bubbles formed in this body, the net force of these bubbles is

         F_net ’= #_bubbles ( ρ_fluido -  ρ_air) g V’

this force is directed upwards

whereby the measured force is

         F = W_aparente - F_air  

           

As we can see from this analysis, the apparent weight of the body is lower due to the push created by the air brujuleas

1. (I) If the magnetic field in a traveling EM wave has a peak magnitude of 17.5 nT at a given point, what is the peak magnitude
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The electric field is E  =  5.25 V/m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The peak magnitude of the magnetic field is  B  =  17.5 nT  =  17.5 *10^{-9}\ T

Generally the peak magnitude of the electric field is mathematically represented as

         E  =  c  *  B

Where c is the speed of light with value c  =  3.0 *10^{8} \ m/s

So

       E  =  3.0 *10^{8}  *  17.5 *10^{-9}

       E  =  5.25 V/m

Write a hypothesis about the use of an object’s physical characteristics to determine its density. Use the format "if . . . then
kari74 [83]

The density of an object is the mass of the object divided by its volume.

Remember that mass of an object is the amount of matter that the object contains. The unit for mas in the standard international unit system is the kilogram (kg), which is 1000 grams; the unit of mass in the US is the pound (lb), which is 453.592 grams.

The volume of an object is the amount of space that the object occupies. The unit for volume in the standard international unit system are the cubic meter (m^3) and the liter (L); 1 cubic meter equals 1000 liters.

The density of an object is the quantity of mass of the object per unit of its volume. The unit for mas in the standard international unit system is the kilogram per cubic meter (\frac{kg}{m^3}).

Now, lets create our hypothesis:

If the mass and the volume of and object are known, then its density can be calculated dividing the object's mass by its volume.

We can conclude that the density of an object can be obtained by dividing its mass by its volume.
