Two round concentric metal wires lie on a tabletop, one inside the other. The inner wire has a diameter of 19.0 cmcm and carries

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

magnetic field due to circular wire

= μ₀ i / 2r

i is current and r is radius of coil .

Magnetic fields due to inner coil

μ₀ x 20 / (2 x 9.5 x 10⁻²)

Magnetic field due to outer coil

= μ₀ x I / (2 x 19 x 10⁻²) , I is the current to be calculated

Total field

μ₀ x 20 /( 2 x 9.5 x 10⁻²) +μ₀ x I / (2 x 19 x 10⁻²) = 0

20 + I /2 = 0

I = - 40 A

Current required is 40 A , and it will be in opposite direction.

What is the mechanical advantage of a nail puller where you exert a force 45 cm from the pivot and the nail is 1.8 cm on the oth

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mechanical Advantage is the ratio of the distance of the input load (Li)from the pivot to the output load applied to the pivot(Lo)

MA = Li/Le

Given;

Li = 45cm

Lo = 1.8cm

MA = 45/1.8

MA = 25

Hence the mechanical advantage is 25

Also MA is expressed in terms of the force ratio which is the ratio of the Load to the effort applied.

MA = Load/Effort

Given

Load = 1250N

MA = 25

Effort = ?

Substitute

25 = 1250/Effort

Effort = 1250/25

Effort = 50N

Hence the minimum force exerted on the load is 50N

S Problem Set<br> 2.) 6.4 x 109 nm to cm

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

$6.4\cdot 10^2 cm$

Explanation:

First of all, let's convert from nanometres to metres, keeping in mind that

$1 nm = 10^{-9} m$

So we have:

$6.4\cdot 10^9 nm \cdot 10^{-9} m/nm = 6.4 m$

Now we can convert from metres to centimetres, keeping in mind that

$1 m = 10^2 cm$

So, we find:

$6.4 m \cdot 10^2 cm/m = 6.4\cdot 10^2 cm$

1. What is the bond angle between the hydrogen atoms in an ammonia (NH3) molecule? 2. What is the bond angle between the oxygen

Klio2033 [76]

The answer is 107 degrees. The geometric shape for ammonia is Trigonal Pyramidal, even though its electron geometry is “Tetrahedral”. This is because ammonia has a lone pair of electrons that occupy its space like the other 3 hydrogens in the geometric structure.

The answer 180 degrees. This is because of the linear geometric structure of carbon dioxide. The oxygen atom is on either side of the carbon atom, each is bound by a double covalent bond. All the atoms are involved in the bond and there are no one pair electrons.

The answer is tetrahedral geometry. This is because all the 4 valence electrons of the carbon are involved in a bond with a hydrogen atom. The angles in a tetrahedral geometric arrangement, such as in methane, is 109.5 degrees, where the hydrogen atoms are as far apart, from each other, as possible .
