Answer:

1.045 m from 120 kg

Explanation:

m1 = 120 kg

m2 = 420 kg

m = 51 kg

d = 3 m

Let m is placed at a distance y from 120 kg so that the net force on 51 kg is zero.

By use of the gravitational force

Force on m due to m1 is equal to the force on m due to m2.

\frac{Gm_{1}m}{y^{2}}=\frac{Gm_{2}m}{\left ( d-y \right )^{2}}

\frac{m_{1}}{y^{2}}=\frac{m_{2}}{\left ( d-y \right )^{2}}

\frac{3-y}{y}=\sqrt{\frac{7}{2}}

3 - y = 1.87 y

3 = 2.87 y

y = 1.045 m

Thus, the net force on 51 kg is zero if it is placed at a distance of 1.045 m from 120 kg.

A solenoid 91.0 cm long has a radius of 1.50 cm and a winding of 1300 turns; it carries a current of 3.60 A. Calculate the magni
irinina [24]

The magnitude of the magnetic field inside the solenoid is 6.46 \times 10^{-3} \ T.

The given parameters;

  • <em>length of the solenoid, L = 91 cm = 0.91 m</em>
  • <em>radius of the solenoid, r = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m</em>
  • <em>number of turns of the solenoid, N = 1300 </em>
  • <em>current in the solenoid, I = 3.6 A</em>

The magnitude of the magnetic field inside the solenoid is calculated as;

B = \mu_0 nI\\\\B = \mu_o(\frac{ N}{L} )I\\\\

where;

\mu_o is the permeability of frees space = 4π x 10⁻⁷ T.m/A

B = (4\pi \times 10^{-7}) \times (\frac{1300}{0.91} ) \times 3.6\\\\B = 6.46 \times 10^{-3} \ T

Thus, the magnitude of the magnetic field inside the solenoid is 6.46 \times 10^{-3} \ T.

Using the law of conservation of angular momentum, estimate how fast a collapsed stellar core would spin if its initial spin rat
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

\omega_{f} = 1000000\,\frac{rev}{day}

Explanation:

The law of conservation of angular momentum states that angular momentum remains constant when there is no external moment or forces applied to the system. Let assume that star can be modelled as an sphere, then:

\frac{2}{5}\cdot M\cdot R_{o}^{2} \cdot \omega_{o} = \frac{2}{5}\cdot M\cdot R_{f}^{2} \cdot \omega_{f}

The final angular speed is:

\omega_{f} = \omega_{o}\cdot (\frac{R_{o}}{R_{f}})^{2}

\omega_{f} = (1\,\frac{rev}{day} )\cdot (\frac{10000\,km}{10\,km} )^{2}

\omega_{f} = 1000000\,\frac{rev}{day}
