Answer:

A solenoid is a device comprised of a coil of wire, the housing and a moveable plunger (armature). When an electrical current is introduced, a magnetic field forms around the coil which draws the plunger in. More simply, a solenoid converts electrical energy into mechanical work.

Explanation:

The coil is made of many turns of tightly wound copper wire. When an electrical current flows through this wire, a strong magnetic field/flux is created.

The housing, usually made of iron or steel, surrounds the coil concentrating the magnetic field generated by the coil.

The plunger is attracted to the stop through the concentration of the magnetic field providing the mechanical force to do work.

Write a hypothesis why the moon has very little liquid water.

Llana [10]

Because the Moon has a very small surface area compared to other spacial geo-bodies, it has cooled down much faster than Earth. Any water on the moon would freeze.

We know the frequency range of certain sounds are: 400-560 Hz, what are the ranges of wavelength in meters when the signal trans

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Range of wavelength will be $5.35\times 10^5m$ to $7.5\times 10^5m$

Explanation:

We have given range of frequency is 400-560 Hz

Speed of the light $c=3\times 10^8m/sec$

We have to find the range of the wavelength of signal transmitted

Ween know that velocity is given by $v=\lambda f$ , here $\lambda$ is wavelength and f is frequency

So for 400 Hz frequency wavelength will be $\lambda =\frac{c}{f}=\frac{3\times 10^8}{400}=7.5\times 10^5m$

And wavelength for frequency 560 Hz $\lambda =\frac{c}{f}=\frac{3\times 10^8}{560}=5.35\times 10^5m$

So range of wavelength will be $5.35\times 10^5m$ to $7.5\times 10^5m$

When a mass of 29 g is attached to a certain spring, it makes 20 complete vibrations in 3.1 s. What is the spring constant of th

never [62]

Answer:

The spring constant of the spring is 47.62 N/m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass that is attached with the spring, m = 29 g = 0.029 kg

The spring makes 20 complete vibrations in 3.1 s. We need to find the spring constant of the spring. We know that the number of oscillations per unit time is called frequency of an object. So,

$f=\dfrac{20}{3.1}$
