Density applies to many if not all aspects of life. With density you can explain why ice floats. You can explain why oxygen is on the earth, and not floating around in space( or being replaced by another gas). You can also explain why heat rises while cold air sinks.

When operated on a household 110.0 V line, typical hair dryers draw about 1650 W of power. The current can be modeled as a long,

Andre45 [30]

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage of household line, V = 110 V

Power of the hairdryer, P = 1650 W

During use, the current is about 1.95 cm from the user's hand.

(a) Power is given by :

$P=V\times I\\\\I=\dfrac{P}{V}\\\\I=\dfrac{1650\ W}{110\ V}\\\\I=15\ A$

(b) Again the power is given by :

$P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}$

R is resistance of the dryer

$R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}\\\\R=\dfrac{(110)^2}{1650}\\\\R=7.34\ \Omega$

(c) The magnetic field produced by the dryer at the user's hand is given by :

$B=\dfrac{\mu_o I}{2\pi r}\\\\B=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 15}{2\pi \times 1.95\times 10^{-2}}\\\\B=1.53\times 10^{-4}\ T$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Calculate the lowest energy (in ev) for an electron in an infinite well having a width of 0.050 mm.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The lowest energy of electron in an infinite well is 1.2*10^-33J.

To find the answer, we have to know more about the infinite well.

<h3>What is the lowest energy of electron in an infinite well?</h3>

It is given that, the infinite well having a width of 0.050 mm.
We have the expression for energy of electron in an infinite well as,

$E_n=\frac{n^2h^2}{8mL^2}$

where;

$m=9.1*10^{-31}kg\\L=0.050*10^{-3}m\\h=6.63*10^{-34}Js\\n=1$

Thus, the lowest energy of electron in an infinite well is,

$E_1=\frac{(6.63*10^{-34})^2}{8*9.1*10^{-31}*(0.050*10^{-3})}=1.2*10^{-33}J$

Thus, we can conclude that, the lowest energy of electron in an infinite well is 1.2*10^-33J.

The Michelson-Morley experiment was designed to measure Group of answer choices the velocity of the Earth relative to the ether.

NISA [10]

Answer:

The Michelson-Morley was designed to detect the motion of the earth through the ether.

No such relation was found and the speed of light is assumed to be the same in all reference frames.

Through what vertical height is a 50 N object moved if 250 J of work is done lifting it against the gravitational field of Earth

zimovet [89]

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of object = 50N

Work done in lifting object = 250J

Unknown:

Vertical height = ?

Solution:

The work done on an object is the force applied to lift a body in a specific direction.

Work done = force x distance

Weight is a force in the presence of gravity;

Work done = weight x height of lifting

Height of lifting = $\frac{work done }{weight}$

Height of lifting = $\frac{250}{50}$ = 5m

The vertical height through which the object was lifted is 5m

What happens when multiple forces act on an object?

kozerog [31]

They can either cancel each other or add up to a resultant force with a certain direction and modulus.
Newton's second law states that F=m*a, where F is the resultant force, ie ΣF.
