False, as an object falls its potential energy turns into kinetic energy thus decreasing the potential energy.

Relationship between prism and lens ​
kozerog [31]

Answer:

In essence, optical lenses bend and focus light, known as refraction. Prism lenses, however, refract light a bit differently. ... Light passing through a prism will bend towards the base, while the image of the object viewed with the prism moves toward the peak.

A steady current I flows through a wire of radius a. The current density in the wire varies with r as J = kr, where k is a const
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

we can consider an element of radius r < a and thickness dr.  and Area of this element is

dA=2\pi r dr

since current density is given

J=kr

then , current through this element will be,

di_{thru}=JdA=(kr)(2\pi\,r\,dr)=2\pi\,kr^2\,dr

integrating on both sides between the appropriate limits,

\int_0^Idi_{thru}=\int_0^a2\pi\,kr^2\,dr&#10;\\\\&#10;I=\frac{2\pi\,ka^3}{3} -------------------------------(1)

Magnetic field can be found by using Ampere's law

\oint{\vec{B}\cdot\,d\vec{l}}=\mu_0\,i_{enc}

for points inside the wire ( r<a)

now, consider a point at a distance 'r' from the center of wire. The appropriate Amperian loop is a circle of radius r.

by applying the Ampere's law, we can write

\oint{\vec{B}_{in}\cdot\,d\vec{l}}=\mu_0\,i_{enc}&#10;

by symmetry \vec{B} will be of uniform magnitude on this loop and it's direction will be tangential to the loop.

Hence,

B_{in}\times2\pi\,l=\mu_0\int_0^r(kr)(2\pi\,r\,dr)=&#10;\\\\2\pi\,B_{in} l=2\pi\mu_0k \frac{r^3}{3}&#10;\\\\B_{in}=\frac{\mu_0kl^2}{3}&#10;

now using equation 1, putting the value of k,

B_{in} = \frac{\mu_{0} l^2 }{3 } \,\,\, \frac{3I}{2 \pi a^3}&#10;\\\\B_{in} = \frac{ \mu_{0} I l^2}{2 \pi a^3}&#10;

B)

now, for points outside the wire ( r>a)

consider a point at a distance 'r' from the center of wire. The appropriate Amperian loop is a circle of radius l.

applying the Ampere's law

\oint{\vec{B}_{out}\cdot\,d\vec{l}}=\mu_0\,i_{enc}&#10;

by symmetry \vec{B} will be of uniform magnitude on this loop and it's direction will be tangential to the loop. Hence

B_{out}\times2\pi\,r=\mu_0\int_0^a(kr)(2\pi\,r\,dr)&#10;\\\\2\pi\,B_{out}r=2\pi\mu_0k\frac{a^3}{3}&#10;\\\\B_{out}=\frac{\mu_0ka^3}{3r}&#10;

again using,equaiton 1,

B_{out}= \mu_0 \frac{a^3}{3r} \times \frac{3 I}{2 \pi a^3}&#10;\\\\B_{out} = \frac{ \mu_{0} I}{2 \pi r}

A scuba diver and her gear displace a volume of 67.0 l and have a total mass of 64.0 kg. (a) what is the buoyant force on the di
slavikrds [6]
Buoyant force is the force that is a result from the pressure exerted by a fluid on the object. We calculate this value by using the Archimedes principle where it says that the upward buoyant force that is being exerted to a body that is immersed in the fluid is equal to the fluid's weight that the object has displaced. Buoyant force always acts opposing the direction of weight. We calculate as follows:

Fb = W
Fb = mass (acceleration due to gravity)
Fb = 64.0 kg ( 9.81 m/s^2)
Fb = 627.84 kg m/s^2

Therefore, the buoyant force that is exerted on the diver in the sea water would be 627.84 N

An object with a mass of 10 kg is rolled down a frictionless ramp from a height of 3 meters. If a factory worker at the bottom o
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The amount of work the factory worker must to stop the rolling ramp is 294 joules

Explanation:

The object rolling down the frictionless ramp has the following parameters;

The mass of the object = 10 kg

The height from which the object is rolled = 3 meters

The work done by the factory worker to stop the rolling ramp = The initial potential energy, P.E., of the ramp

Where;

The potential energy P.E. = m × g × h

m = The mass of the ramp = 10 kg

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = The height from which the object rolls down = 3 m

Therefore, we have;

P.E. = 10 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 3 m = 294 Joules

The work done by the factory worker to stop the rolling ramp = P.E. = 294 joules

A gold wire that is 1.8 mm in diameter and 15 cm long carries a current of 260 mA. How many electrons per second pass a given cr
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

162500000.  

Explanation:

Given that

Diameter of the wire , d= 1.8 mm

The length of the wire ,L = 15 cm

Current ,I = 260 m A

The charge on the electron ,e= 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

We know that Current I is given as

I=\dfrac{q}{t}

I=Current

q=Charge

t=time

q= I t

q= 260 m t

The total number of electron = n

q= n e

n=\dfrac{260\times 10^{-3}\ t}{1.6\times 10^{-9}}

n=162500000 t

\dfrac{n}{t}=16250000

The number of electron passe per second will be 162500000.
