You want to see how your new belt buckle matches your new hat. Your eyes are 114 mm below the top of the hat and 800 mm above th

damaskus [11]

Answer:

$x=0.057m$

$h=0.457m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Distance of eyes from the top of hat $d_1=114mm$

Distance of eyes from buckle $d_2=800mm$

Generally position of mirror relative eyes x is mathematically given as

$x=\frac{114}{2}$

$x=57mm$

$x=0.057m$

Generally the height of the mirror h is mathematically given as

$h=\frac{(Buckle\ below\ the\ hat)+(Buckle\ below\ the\ hat)}{2}$

$h=\frac{(114)+(800)}{2}$

$h=457mm$

$h=0.457m$

How do the charges compare when two objects are charged through friction?

spayn [35]

Answer:

The objects become oppositely charged and have equal amounts of charge.

Explanation:

There are three methods for charging objects:

- Conduction: a charged object is brought in contact with a neutral object. Electrons are transferred from the charged object to the neutral one, which also becomes charged

- Induction: a charged object is brought close (but not in contact) to a neutral object. The charges inside the neutral object redistribute, such that those of opposite sign to the charge in the charged object migrate on the side closer to the charged object, while the charges of same sign migrate towards the opposite side. If the neutral object is then grounded, the charges on the opposite side flow to the ground, leaving the neutral object charged as well

- Friction: two objects initially neutral are rubbed against each other. Electrons move from one object to the other one: therefore, one object becomes positively charged while the other one becomes negatively charged. Since the charge gained by one object is equal to charge lost by the other object, it follows that the two objects have same magnitude of charge, but with opposite sign.

A beaker of water rests on an electronic balance that reads 875.0 g. A 2.75-cm-diameter solid copper ball attached to a string i

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The tension in the string is $T = 0.85 N$

The new balance reading is $M_b = 885.86 g$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the beaker of water is $m = 875 .0g$

The diameter of the copper ball is $d = 2.75 cm = \frac{2.75}{100} = 0.0275 m$

There are two forces acting on the copper ball

The first is the Buoyant force of the water pushing it up which is mathematically represented as

$F = \rho V g$

Where $\rho$ is the density of water which has value of $\rho = 1000 kg/m^3$

g is the acceleration due to gravity $g= 9.8 \ m/s^2$

$V$ is the volume of water displaced by the copper ball which is mathematically evaluated as

$V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$

The radius r is $r = \frac{d}{3} = \frac{0.0275}{2} = 0.01375 m$

Substituting value

$V = \frac{4}{3} * 3.142 * (0.01375)^3$

$V = 1.08 9 *10^{-5 } m^3$

Substituting for F

$F = 1000 * 1.089 *10^{-5} * 9.8$

$F = 0.1067 N$

The second force is the weight of the copper ball which is mathematically represented as

$W_c = mg$

Now m is the mass which can be mathematically evaluated as

$m = \rho_c * V$

Where is the density of copper with value of $\rho_c = 8960 kg /m^3$

So $m = 8960 * 1.089 *10^{-5}$

$m = 0.0976$

So the weight of copper is

$W_c = 0.09756 * 9.8$

$W_c = 0.956 N$

Now the tension the string would be mathematically evaluated as

$T = W_c - F$

So $T = 0.956 - 0.1067$

$T = 0.85 N$

From this value we that the string is holding only 0.85 N of the copper weight thus (0.956 - 0.85 = 0.1065 N ) is being held by the balance

Now the mass equivalent of this weight is mathematically evaluated as

$m_z = \frac{1.0645 }{9.8 }$

$m_z = 0.01086 kg$

Converting to grams

$m_z = 10.86 g$

So the new balance reading is

$M_b = 875.0 +10.86$

$M_b = 885.86 g$

A copper rod 0.570 � long and with a mass 0.05900 �� is suspended from two thin wire. At right angle to the rod is a uniform mag

finlep [7]

Answer:

a) Left to right

b) 1.51 A

Explanation:

The gravitational force on the rod due to its mass is in downward direction. hence to levitate the rod, the magnetic force on the rod must be in upward direction.

The magnetic field is inward to page and magnetic force must be upward. Using right hand rule, the current must be flowing from left to right.

Left to right

L = length of the copper rod = 0.570 m

m = mass of the rod = 0.059 kg

B = magnitude of magnetic field in the region = 0.670 T

θ = Angle between the magnetic field and rod = 90

i = current flowing throw the rod = ?

The magnetic force on the rod balances the gravitational force on the rod. hence

Magnetic force = gravitational force

mg = i B L Sinθ

(0.059) (9.8) = i (0.670) (0.570) Sin90

i = 1.51 A
