Answer:

Since resistance is proportional to length R = K L / A

the resistance of each piece would be R / 10 = 10 ohms

The 80.0-lb boy at a is suspended from the cable that passes over the quarter circular cliff rock. determine if it is possible f

IrinaVladis [17]

<span>Yes, it's possible to hoist the child up. Let's first determine the maximum amount of pull that the woman can exert. That will be the simple product of her weight and the coefficient of static friction with her shoes and the ground. So 0.8 * 190 = 152. So far, so good, since 152 is greater than the boy's 80 lbs. But the cable rubs at the cliff edge and that means that the lady has to pull harder. Let's see how much harder. There will be 80 lbs of tension on the cable, pressing against the cliff edge. So let's multiply by the coefficient of friction to get how much that is 0.2 * 80 = 16 So friction will take 16 lbs of effort to overcome. So the lady needs to pull with 80 + 16 = 96 lbs of force to move the boy. And since we've determined earlier that she can pull with up to 152 lbs of force, she can easily hoist the child up.</span>

You are performing an experiment that requires the highest possible energy density in the interior of a very long solenoid. Whic

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

b. increasing the number of turns per unit length on the solenoid

e. increasing the current in the solenoid

Explanation:

As we know that energy density depends on the strength of the magnetic field. The magnetic field strength depends on the no of turns of the solenoid and the current passing through it. The greater the number of turns per unit length, greater the current passing through it, more stronger the magnetic field is. As

B = μ₀nI

n = no of turns

I = current through the wire

So the right options are

b. increasing the number of turns per unit length on the solenoid

e. increasing the current in the solenoid

Which of the statements concerning light are true? The speed of light is the same no matter what material it is traveling throug

wel

Answer:

The statements that are true concerning light are the last three statements:

Its propagation direction is perpendicular to both the electric field and the magnetic field.

It moves at a constant speed through a vacuum.

The speed of light in matter is less than the speed of light in a vacuum.

Explanation:

<em>Light</em> is <em>electromagnetic waves. </em>

The properties of the electromagnetic waves were established by James Clerk Maxwell.

They included that they are the result of the oscillation of a <em>magnetic field </em>in phase with an <em>electric field</em> which are always is always <em>perpendicular</em> to each other.

Also, the electromagnetic waves propagate at right-angles to the direction of both the magnetic and the electric field, meaning that they are a type of transverse wave.

Thus, the second statement (<em>"Its propagation direction is parallel to both the electric field and the magnetic field"</em>) is false, and the fourth statement ("Its propagation direction is perpendicular to both the electric field and the magnetic field") is true.

On the other hand, it is a postulate of the special theory of relativity that the speed of light is a constant (absolute value) in vacuum: nothing can travel faster than what light travels in vacuum. Thus, the fifth statement, <em>"It moves at a constant speed through a vacuum"</em> is true.

About the speed of light in matter, it is always less than the speed of light in vacuum. Thus, the first statement, "<em>the speed of light is the same no matter what material it is traveling through</em>", and the third statement "<em>the speed of light in matter is greater than the speed of light in a vacuum"</em> are false; while the last statement, "<em>the speed of light in matter is less than the speed of light in a vacuum</em>" is true.

The explanation on why the speed of light is less in a medium than in vacuum is related with the fact that at nanoscopic level the waves suffer polarization which means deviations from the straighi path, which makes that the net straight propagation is slower.

An athlete swings a ball, connected to the end of a chain, in a horizontal circle. The athlete is able to rotate the ball at the

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

a) 2nd case rate of rotation gives the greater speed for the ball

b) 1534.98 m/s^2

c) 1515.04 m/s^2

Explanation:

(a) v = ωR

when R = 0.60, ω = 8.05×2π

v = 0.60×8.05×2π = 30.34 m/s

Now in 2nd case

when R = 0.90, ω = 6.53×2π

v = 0.90×6.53×2π = 36.92 m/s

6.35 rev/s gives greater speed for the ball.

(b) a = ω^2 R = (8.05×2π)^2 )(0.60) = 1534.98 m/s^2

(c) a = ω^2 R = (6.53×2π)^2 )(0.90) = 1515.05 m/s^2
