Probably to be more accurate. With hand-operated stop watches there is more room for (human) error.

Because they would be more accurate. And they would start and stop instantly. A human being.

a wire with mass per unit length 75 g/m runs horizontally at right angles to a uniform horizontal 0.12 T magnetic field. what am
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The amount of current that must flow through the wire for it to be suspended against gravity by magnetic force = 6.125 A

Explanation:

Force on a wire carrying current in an electric field is given by

F = (B)(I)(L) sin θ

For this question,

The magnetic force must match the weight of the wire.

F = mg

mg = (B)(I)(L) sin θ

(m/L)g = (B)(I) sin θ

Mass per unit length = 75 g/m = 0.075 kg/m

B = magnetic field = 0.12 T

I = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s

θ = angle between wire's current direction and magnetic field = 90°

0.075 × 9.8 = 0.12 × I sin 90°

I = 0.075 × 9.8/0.12 = 6.125 A

Which property best makes radio waves safe for diagnosing illnesses through magnetic resonance imaging?
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

It is used in MRI because it does not damage cells

Radio waves are used for space research because they have very long wavelengths

Explanation:

Many parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are applied in clinical diagnosis and treatment of illnesses. However, these highly ionizing radiation damage cells and its dosage must be carefully managed to avoid creating radiation related health problems for the patients.

Radio waves can be used in MRI without issues because the energy of the radiation is not sufficient to cause damage to cells but is sufficient to provide images for the sake of medical diagnosis.

Secondly, radio waves have long wavelength. This property is suitable for long range

communication. Hence it can be used in space research

Explain how a step-down transformer makes electricity safe for use in homes.
Savatey [412]

Answer:

it lowers the voltage in homes

Explanation:

this is due to safety reasons as a human cant survive power line voltages which are between 150k and 760k and if you plugged anything short of a piece of 1 inch thick wire not counting insulation it would immediately start smoking and burn the cable.

What is the frequency, in units of kiloHertz, of an AC waveform that has a period of 12 microseconds?
Alik [6]

Answer:

83.3 kHz

Explanation:

The frequency of a waveform is equal to the reciprocal of its period:

f=\frac{1}{T}

where

f is the frequency

T is the period

In this problem, we have

T=12 \mu s=12\cdot 10^{-6} s

so, the frequency of the waveform is

f=\frac{1}{12 \cdot 10^{-6} s}=8.33\cdot 10^4 Hz

And by converting into kiloHertz,

f=8.33\cdot 10^4 Hz=83.3 kHz
