If the star Alpha Centauri were moved to a distance 10 times farther than it is now, its parallax angle would

Answer:

B. get smaller

Explanation:

The parallax angle of a star measured with respect to the Earth is inversely proportional to the distance of the star from the Earth:

\theta = \frac{1}{d}

where

\theta is the parallax angle, measured in arcsec

d is the distance between the star and the Earth, measured in parsec

Therefore, if the star Alpha Centauri is moved farther from Earth, then d increases, and therefore the parallax angle will get smaller.

A long, hollow, cylindrical conductor (inner radius 3.4 mm, outer radius 7.3 mm) carries a current of 36 A distributed uniformly
Elden [556K]

Answer:

a. B= 9.45 \times10^{-3} T

b. B= 0.820 T

c. B= 0.0584 T

Explanation:

First, look at the picture to understand the problem before to solve it.

a. d1 = 1.1 mm

Here, the point is located inside the cilinder, just between the wire and the inner layer of the conductor. Therefore, we only consider the wire's current to calculate the magnetic field as follows:

To solve the equations we have to convert all units to those of the international system. (mm→m)

B=\frac{u_{0}I_{w}}{2\pi d_{1}} =\frac{52 \times4\pi \times10^{-7} }{2\pi 1.1 \times 10^{-3}} =9.45 \times10^{-3} T\\

μ0 is the constant of proportionality

μ0=4πX10^-7 N*s2/c^2

b. d2=3.6 mm

Here, the point is located in the surface of the cilinder. Therefore, we have to consider the current density of the conductor to calculate the magnetic field as follows:

J: current density

c: outer radius

b: inner radius

The cilinder's current is negative, as it goes on opposite direction than the wire's current.

J= \frac {-I_{c}}{\pi(c^{2}-b^{2}  ) }}

J=\frac{-36}{\pi(5.33\times10^{-5}-1.16\times10^{-5}) } =-274.80\times10^{3} A/m^{2}

B=\frac{u_{0}(I_{w}-JA_{s})}{2\pi d_{2} } \\A_{s}=\pi (d_{2}^{2}-b^2)=4.40\times10^{-6} m^2\\

B=\frac{6.68\times10^{-5}}{8.14\times10^{-5}} =0.820 T

c. d3=7.4 mm

Here, the point is located out of the cilinder. Therefore, we have to consider both, the conductor's current and the wire's current as follows:

B=\frac{u_{0}(I_w-I_c)}{2\pi d_3 } =\frac{2.011\times10^-5}{3.441\times10^{-4}} =0.0584 T

As we see, the magnitud of the magnetic field is greater inside the conductor, because of the density of current and the material's nature.

Ice skaters often end their performances with spin turns, where they spin very fast about their center of mass with their arms f
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{30 rev/s}}

Explanation:

This question is based on the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum.

Angular momentum (L) equals the moment of inertia (I) times the angular speed (ω).

L = Iω

If momentum is conserved,

I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

Data:

 I₁ = 3.5    kg·m²s⁻¹

ω₁ = 6.0    rev·s⁻¹

 I₂ = 0.70 kg·m²s⁻¹

Calculation:

\begin{array}{rcl}I_{1}\omega_{1} &= &I_{2}\omega_{2}\\\text{3.5 kg$\cdot$m$^{2}$}\times \text{6.0 rev/s} &= &\text{0.70 kg$\cdot$m$^{2}$}\times\omega_{2}\\\text{21 rev/s} &= &0.70\omega_{2}\\\omega_{2} & = & \dfrac{\text{21 rev/s}}{0.70}\\\\&=&\textbf{30 rev/s}\\\end{array}\\\text{The skater's final rotational speed is $\large \boxed{\textbf{30 rev/s}}$}

Two balls are thrown against a wall. Ball 1 has a much higher speed than ball 2.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Let both the balls have the same mass equals to m.

Let v_1 and v_2 be the speed of the ball1 and the ball2 respectively, such that

v_1>v_2\;\cdots(i)

Assuming that both the balls are at the same level with respect to the ground, so let h be the height from the ground.

The total energy of ball1= Kinetic energy of ball1 + Potential energy of ball1. The Kinetic energy of any object moving with speed, v, is \frac 12 m v^2

and the potential energy is due to the change in height is mgh [where g is the acceleration due to gravity]

So, the total energy of ball1,

=\frac 12 m v_1^2 + mgh\;\cdots(ii)

and the total energy of ball1,

=\frac 12 m v_2^2 + mgh\;\cdots(iii).

Here, the potential energy for both the balls are the same, but the kinetic energy of the ball1 is higher the ball2 as the ball1 have the higher speed, refer equation (i)

So, \frac 12 m v_1^2 >\frac 12 m v_2^2

Now, from equations (ii) and (iii)

The total energy of ball1 hi higher than the total energy of ball2.
