How are the electric field lines around a positive charge affected when a second positive charge is near it?

What is the purpose of using significant figures? How does it relate to accuracy, precision, resolution, and uncertainty?

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

#see solution for details

Explanation:

-Uncertainty refers to an estimate of the amount by which a result may differ from this value,

-Precision refers to how closely repeated measurements agree with each other.

-Accuracy refers to how closely a measured value agrees with the correct value.

-The number of significant figures is the number of digits believed to be correct by the person doing the measuring. Therefore, choosing the correct number of significant figures reduces the deviation from the point of accuracy/uncertainty or precision and thereby reducing margin of error in the ensuing calculations.

An engine is used to lift a beam weighing 9,800 N up to 145 m. How much work must the engine do to lift this beam? How much work

Arturiano [62]

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the engine used to lift a beam, W = 9800 N

Distance, d = 145 m

Work done by the engine to lift the beam is given by :

W = F d

$W=9800\ N\times 145\ m\\\\W=1421000\ J\\\\W=1421\ kJ$

Let W' is the work must be done to lift it 290 m. It is given by :

$W'=9800\ N\times 290\ m\\\\W'=2842000\ J\\\\W'=2842\ kJ$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Fellow student of mathematical bent tells you that the wave function of a traveling wave on a thin rope is y(x,t)= 2.20 mm cos[(

bezimeni [28]

Answer

given,

y(x,t)= 2.20 mm cos[( 7.02 rad/m )x+( 743 rad/s )t]

length of the rope = 1.33 m

mass of the rope = 3.31 g

comparing the given equation from the general wave equation

y(x,t)= A cos[k x+ω t]

A is amplitude

now on comparing

a) Amplitude = 2.20 mm

b) frequency =

$f = \dfrac{\omega}{2\pi}$

$f = \dfrac{743}{2\pi}$

f = 118.25 Hz

c) wavelength

$k= \dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}$

$\lambda= \dfrac{2\pi}{k}$

$\lambda= \dfrac{2\pi}{7.02}$

$\lambda= 0.895\ m$

d) speed

$v = \dfrac{\omega}{k}$

$v = \dfrac{743}{7.02}$

v = 105.84 m/s

e) direction of the motion will be in negative x-direction

f) tension

$T = \dfrac{v^2\ m}{L}$

$T = \dfrac{(105.84)^2\times 3.31 \times 10^{-3}}{1.33}$

T = 27.87 N

g) Power transmitted by the wave

$P = \dfrac{1}{2}m\ v \omega^2\ A^2$

$P = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.00331\times 105.84\times 743^2\ 0.0022^2$

P = 0.438 W

A gas is compressed at a constant pressure of 0.800 atm from 12.00 L to 3.00 L. In the process, 390 J of energy leaves the gas b

Andru [333]

Answer:

a)W= - 720 J

b)ΔU= 330 J

Explanation:

Given that

P = 0.8 atm

We know that 1 atm = 100 KPa

P = 80 KPa

V₁ = 12 L = 0.012 m³ ( 1000 L = 1 m³)

V₂ = 3 L = 0.003 m³

Q= - 390 J ( heat is leaving from the system )

We know that work done by gas given as

W = P (V₂ -V₁ )

W= 80 x ( 0.003 - 0.012 ) KJ

W= - 0.72 KJ

W= - 720 J ( Negative sign indicates work done on the gas)

From first law of thermodynamics

Q = W + ΔU

ΔU=Change in the internal energy

Now by putting the values

- 390 = - 720 + ΔU

ΔU= 720 - 390 J

ΔU= 330 J

3) Magnets are used to separate steel cans from aluminum cans in recycling plants. How can

Elden [556K]

Answer:

Since steel contains iron (a magnetic metal), the magnets will attract the steel cans since aluminum is not magnetic. This is used to separate the steel cans from the aluminum cans so they can be recycled separately.
