Answer:

$1.4\cdot 10^5$

Explanation:

In multiplications or divisions, the result must be written using a number of significant figures equal to the smallest number of significant figures contained in the original numbers.

For instance, in this case the two numbers are:

3278 --> 4 significant figures

42 --> 2 significant figures

So, the product must be written using 2 significant figures.

Calculating the product, we get:

$3278\cdot 42=137676$

Therefore, using 2 significant figures only, the result is

$1.4\cdot 10^5$

Figure 10.20 in your textbook shows an energy diagram for a system with total energy E1. Suppose the system's total energy is E2

wolverine [178]

The particles can undergo small oscillations around x₂.

The given parameters;

initial energy of the particles = E₁
final energy of the particles, E₂ = 0.33E₁

The movement of the particles depends on the kinetic energy of the particles.

When kinetic energy of the particles is 100%, the particles can oscillate from x₁ to x₅.

However, when the total energy of this particles is reduced to one-third (¹/₃) or 33% of the initial energy of the particle, the oscillation of the particles will be reduced.

The maximum position the particle can oscillate is x₅

The half position the particles can oscillate is x₃

Since 33% is less than the half of the energy of the particle, the particle will oscillate between x₁ and x₂.

Thus, we can conclude that the particles can undergo small oscillations around x₂.

Four long wires are each carrying 6.0 A. The wires are located

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

$B_T=2.0*10^-5[-\hat{i}+\hat{j}]T$

Explanation:

To find the magnitude of the magnetic field, you use the following formula for the calculation of the magnetic field generated by a current in a wire:

$B=\frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi r}$

μo: magnetic permeability of vacuum = 4π*10^-7 T/A

I: current = 6.0 A

r: distance to the wire in which magnetic field is measured

In this case, you have four wires at corners of a square of length 9.0cm = 0.09m

You calculate the magnetic field in one corner. Then, you have to sum the contribution of all magnetic field generated by the other three wires, in the other corners. Furthermore, you have to take into account the direction of such magnetic fields. The direction of the magnetic field is given by the right-hand side rule.

If you assume that the magnetic field is measured in the up-right corner of the square, the wire to the left generates a magnetic field (in the corner in which you measure B) with direction upward (+ j), the wire down (down-right) generates a magnetic field with direction to the left (- i) and the third wire generates a magnetic field with a direction that is 45° over the horizontal in the left direction (you can notice that in the image attached below). The total magnetic field will be:

$B_T=B_1+B_2+B_3\\\\B_{T}=\frac{\mu_o I_1}{2\pi r_1}\hat{j}-\frac{\mu_o I_2}{2\pi r_2}\hat{i}+\frac{\mu_o I_3}{2\pi r_3}[-cos45\hat{i}+sin45\hat{j}]$

I1 = I2 = I3 = 6.0A

r1 = 0.09m

r2 = 0.09m

$r_3=\sqrt{(0.09)^2+(0.09)^2}m=0.127m$

Then you have:

$B_T=\frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi}[(-\frac{1}{r_2}-\frac{cos45}{r_3})\hat{i}+(\frac{1}{r_1}+\frac{sin45}{r_3})\hat{j}}]\\\\B_T=\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(6.0A)}{2\pi}[(-\frac{1}{0.09m}-\frac{cos45}{0.127m})\hat{i}+(\frac{1}{0.09m}+\frac{sin45}{0.127m})]\\\\B_T=\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(6.0A)}{2\pi}[-16.67\hat{i}+16.67\hat{j}]\\\\B_T=2.0*10^-5[-\hat{i}+\hat{j}]T$
