3 0

Answer:

0.00001581 light years

Explanation:

distance divided by speed of light= 150,000,000/300,000= 500 seconds 8.3333

8.3 minutes

now divide this by 60 x 24 x 365.25. so you will get answer=  

.000015823 light years.

Match each action to its result. The strength of the electromagnet increases. The electromagnet turns off. The poles of the elec
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

1) The strength of the electromagnet increases   →   Place a magnetic core inside the coil of wire

2) The electromagnet turns off    →    Turn off the battery supply

3) The poles of the electromagnet reverse     →    Change the direction in which the current flows

Explanation:

when current passes through a coil it behaves a an electromagnet.

Magnetic field strength is given by

B = μ N I  

N is no of turns and

I is the current through coil

μ is permeability of the medium or core in the coil.

1). Magnetic core increase permeability μ so it will strengthen magnetic field:

B = <u>μ</u> N I

2). When the battery turns off current becomes zeroi.e I=0

So B = μ N * 0

⇒ B = 0

so electromagnet turns off

3). Direction of magnetic field can be determine by right hand rule, i.e curl the fingers in the direction of current, thumb will point in the direction of north pole.

so changing current direction will change direction of magnetic field.

Li and Raj are playing football. They take turns trying to run past each other with the football. Li weighs 125 pound and Raj we
Elenna [48]

Answer:

Li has less mass and therefore less inertia, so he can change his motion more easily than Raj.

Explanation:

Inertia describes the resistance of an object to any change in its state of motion, and it depends on the mass of the object only. In particular:

- if an object has a large inertia (large mass), then it is more difficult to change its state of motion (i.e. to put it in motion, or to slow it down, or to change its direction of motion)

- if an object has small inertia (small mass), then it is more easy to change its state of motion

In this problem, Li has less mass than Raj, so he has less inertia, therefore he can change his motion more easily than Raj.

KatRina [158]

Answer:

4 Ohms

Explanation

(This is seriously not as hard as it looks :)

You only need two types of calculations:

  1. replace two resistances, say, R1 and R2, connected in a series by a single one R. In this case the new R is a sum of the two: R = R_1+R_2
  2. replace two resistances that are connected in parallel. In that case: \frac{1}{R}= \frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}\\\mbox{or}\\R= \frac{R_1\cdot R_2}{R_1+R_2}

I am attaching a drawing showing the process of stepwise replacement of two resistances at a time (am using rectangles to represent a resistance). The left-most image shows the starting point, just a little bit "warped" to see it better. The two resistances (6 Ohm next to each other) are in parallel and are replaced by a single resistance (3 Ohm, see formula above) in the top middle image. Next, the two resistances (9 and 3 Ohm) are nicely in series, so they can be replaced by their sum, which is what happened going to the top right image. Finally we have two resistances in parallel and they can be replaced by a single, final, resistance as shown in the bottom right image. That (4 Ohms) is the <em>equivalent resistance</em> of the original circuit.

Using these two transformations you will be able to solve step by step any  problem like this, no matter how complex.

A 0.50-kg red cart is moving rightward with a speed of 40 cm/s when it collides
lukranit [14]

The momentum of the red cart before the collision is 0.2 kgm/s and the blue cart is 0.

The momentum of the red cart after the collision is 0.05 kgm/s and the blue cart is 0.15 kgm/s.

The change in momentum of the system of the carts is 0.

<h3>Initial momentum of the carts before collision</h3>

The momentum of the carts before the collision is calculated as follows;

P(red) = 0.5 kg x 0.4 m/s = 0.2 kgm/s

P(blue) = 1.5 x 0 = 0

<h3>Momentum of the carts after collision</h3>

The momentum of the carts after the collision is calculated as follows;

P(red) = 0.5 x 0.1 = 0.05 kgm/s

P(blue) = 1.5 0.1 = 0.15 kgm/s

<h3>Change in momentum of the carts</h3>

\Delta P = P_f - P_i

ΔP = (0.05 + 0.15) - (0.2)

ΔP = 0
