Answer:

The pressure of the air in the tyre is 20 kPa

Explanation:

The parameters for the bicycle pump and tyre are;

The volume of air contained in the bicycle pump, V₁ = 20 cm³

The pressure of the air contained in the bicycle pump, P₁ = 100 kPa

The volume (available) of the tyre, where the air is pumped, V₂ = 100 cm³

Let P₂ represent the pressure in the tyre after the air is pumped

By Boyle's law, we have that at constant temperature, the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure;

Mathematically, Boyle's law gives the following equation;

P₁ × V₁ = P₂ × V₂

∴ P₂ = (P₁ × V₁)/V₂

Substituting the known values gives;

P₂ = (100 kPa × 20 cm³)/(100 cm³)

∴ P₂ = 100 kPa × 1/5 = 20 kPa

P₂ = 20 kPa

The pressure of the air in the tyre = P₂ = 20 kPa.

Suppose that the dipole moment associated with an iron atom of an iron bar is 2.8 × 10-23 J/T. Assume that all the atoms in the

masya89 [10]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the equations related to the magnetic moment, that is, the amount of force that an image can exert on the electric currents and the torque that a magnetic field exerts on them.

The diple moment associated with an iron bar is given by,

$\mu = \alpha *N$

Where,

$\alpha =$ Dipole momento associated with an Atom

N = Number of atoms

$\alpha$ y previously given in the problem and its value is 2.8*10^{-23}J/T

$L = 5.8cm = 5.8*10^{-2}m$

$A = 1.5cm^2 = 1.5*10^{-4}m^2$

The number of the atoms N, can be calculated as,

$N = \frac{\rho AL}{M_{mass}}*A_n$

Where

$\rho =$ Density

$M_{mass} =$ Molar Mass

A = Area

L = Length

$A_n =$ Avogadro number

$N = \frac{(7.9g/cm^3)(1.5cm)(5.8cm^2)}{55.9g/mol}(6.022*10^{23}atoms/mol)$

$N = 7.4041*10^{23}atoms$

Then applying the equation about the dipole moment associated with an iron bar we have,

$\mu = \alpha *N$

$\mu = (2.8*10^{-23})*(7.4041*10^{23})$

$\mu = 20.72Am^2$

PART B) With the dipole moment we can now calculate the Torque in the system, which is

$\tau = \mu B sin(90)$

$\tau = (20.72)(2.2)$

$\tau = 45.584N.m$

<em>Note: The angle generated is perpendicular, so it takes 90 ° for the calculation made.</em>

A transverse wave on a string is described by the following wave function.y = (0.090 m) sin (px/11 + 4pt)(a) Determine the trans

alukav5142 [94]

Explanation:

(a) It is known that equation for transverse wave is given as follows.

y = $(0.09 m)sin(\pi \frac{x}{11} + 4 \pi t)$

Now, we will compare above equation with the standard form of transeverse wave equation,

y = $A sin(kx + \omega t)$

where, A is the amplitude = 0.09 m

k is the wave vector = $\frac{\pi}{11}$

$\omega$ is the angular frequency = $4\pi$

x is displacement = 1.40 m

t is the time = 0.16 s

Now, we will differentiate the equation with respect to t as follows.

The speed of the wave will be:

v(t) = $\frac{dy}{dt}$

v(t) = $A \omega cos(kx + \omega t)$

v(t) = $(0.09 m)(4\pi) cos(\frac{\pi \times 1.4}{11} + 4 \pi \times 0.16)$

v(t) = -0.84 m/s

The acceleration of the particle in the location is

a(t) = $\frac{dv}{dt}$

a(t) = $-A \omega 2sin(kx + \omega t)$

a(t) = $-(0.09 m)(4 \pi)2 sin(\frac{\pi \times 1.4}{11} + 4\pi \times 0.16)$

a(t) = -9.49 $m/s^{2}$

Hence, the value of transverse wave is 0.84 m/s and the value of acceleration is 9.49 $m/s^{2}$ .

(b) Wavelength of the wave is given as follows.

$\lambda = \frac{2\pi}{k}$

$\lambda = (frac{2\pi}{\frac{\pi}{11})
$

$\lambda$ = 22 m

The period of the wave is

T = $\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}$

T = $\frac{2 \pi}{4 \pi}$

= 0.5 sec

Now, we will calculate the speed of propagation of wave as follows.

v = $\frac{\lambda}{T}$

= $\frac{22 m}{0.5 s}$

= 44 m/s

therefore, we can conclude that wavelength is 22 m, period is 0.5 sec, and speed of propagation of wave is 44 m/s.

Think about the various energy sources such as the sun, fossil fuels, water, wind, and nuclear power. What is the energy source

lakkis [162]

Answer:

<em>The energy source that powers my home is gotten from burning of fossil fuels.</em>

<em>No! I do not like this energy source.</em>

<em>I personally would prefer solar source of electricity</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

<em>Fossil fuels are fuels gotten from the decomposition of dead organisms over time, under intense heat and pressure</em>. They are usually found buried beneath the earth's crust where they have been formed and trapped.

Most electricity generating stations generate electricity by burning fossil fuels like natural gas and gasoline to generate electricity. <em>The problem with fossil fuels are the various part that they play in increasing carbon footprints in the atmosphere. The excess carbon in the atmosphere has been a major contributor to the global warming of planet Earth. </em>

My preference for solar energy source is first due to its abundance unlike the fossil fuels that are already diminishing in storage beneath the earth's crust. Also, <em>solar energy is a clean source of energy that does not leave any damage on earth from its use</em>. It also promises to be a cheap source of power in the future with advances in solar technologies.
