Answer:

see answer below

Explanation:

Before we do any kind of calculation, we need to convert the proper units of the exercise. All the units of distance must be in meters, so, let's change distance of the wire, and the magnetic field to meters:

Separation between the wires are 2.5 mm:

2.5 mm * (1 m / 1000 mm) = 0.0025 m

The distance of P from the bottom of the wires is 37 cm:

37 cm * (1 m/100 cm) = 0.37 m

The distance of P from the top of the wires is just the sum of the two distances:

R = 0.37 + 0.0025 = 0.3725 m

Now that we have the distance, we can determine the magnetic field, using the following expression:

B = B(bottom) - B(top) or just B₂ - B₁

And B = μ₀ I / 2πR

Replacing in the above expression we have:

B = μ₀ I / 2π ( 1/R₂ - 1/R₁)

Now we can determine the magnetic field:

B = (4πx10⁻⁷ * 10 / 2π) (1/0.37 - 1/0.3725)

<h2>B = 3.63x10⁻⁸ T</h2><h2></h2>

Which means that the magnetic field is out of the page.

Hope this helps

A 190 g rock at 20°C is completely immersed in 600 g of water at 80°C. Which one of the following statements is true right after

Umnica [9.8K]

Rock is completely immersed in hot water. By the second law of thermodynamics, thermal energy or heat is transferred from substance with higher temperature to substance with lower temperature until they come to thermal equilibrium i.e. both at same temperature.

It is given here that rock is at 20°C which is at lower temperature than water at 80°C. ∴Heat or thermal energy flows from water to rock. So, right choice is-

A. The water gives the rock thermal energy and gets no thermal energy in return.

which jar contains a mixture? a jar of solid carbon a jar of carbon dioxide gas a jar of liquid copper a jar of copper and water

marysya [2.9K]

Solid carbon is an element in its solid state, not a mixture.
Carbon-dioxide gas is a compound in its gaseous state, not a mixture.
Liquid copper is an element in its liquid state, not a compound.
Copper will never dissolve in water, so copper in water is a mixture.

Suppose a 350-g kookaburra (a large kingfisher bird) picks up a 75-g snake and raises it 2.5 m from the ground to a branch. (a)

mafiozo [28]

(a) The work done by the bird to raise the snake on the branch is equal to the product between the weight of the snake and the height of the branch above the ground:

$W_1 = mg h$

where $m=75 g=0.075 kg$ is the mass of the snake and $h=2.5 m$ is the height of the branch with respect to the ground. Substituting numbers into the equation, we find

$W_1 = (0.075 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(2.5 m)=1.84 J$

(b) The work the bird did to raise its own centre of mass from the ground to the branch is equal to the product between the bird's weight and the height of the branch:

$W_2 = mgh$

where $m=350 g=0.35 kg$ is the mass of the bird. Substituting numbers into the equation, we find

$W_2 = (0.35 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(2.5 m)=8.58 J$

A spherical balloon is made from a material whose mass is 3.00 kg. The thickness of the material is negligible compared to the 1

vesna_86 [32]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the definition of Newton's second Law and the definition of density.

Density means the relationship between volume and mass:

$\rho = \frac{m}{V}$

While Newton's second law expresses that force is given by

F = ma

Where,

m = mass

a= acceleration (gravity at this case)

In the case of the given data we have to,

$m_b = 3Kg$

$r = 1.5m\\V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \\V = \frac{4}{3} \pi 1.5^3\\V = 14.13m^3$

In equilibrium, the entire system is equal to zero, therefore

$\sum F = 0$

$F_g +F_h-F_b = 0$

Where,

$F_g =$ Weight of balloon

$F_h =$ Weight of helium gas

$F_b =$ Bouyant force

Then we have,

$mg+V\rho g -V\rho_a g = 0$

$\rho = \rho_0-\frac{m}{V}$

Replacing the values we have that

$\rho = 1.19kg/m^3 -\frac{3Kg}{14.13m^3}$

$\rho = 0.978kg/m^3$

Now by ideal gas law we have that

$PV=nRT$

$P\frac{\rho}{m} = nRT$

$P = \rho \frac{n}{m}RT$

But the relation \frac{n}{m} is equal to the inverse of molar mass, that is

$P = \frac{\rho}{M_0} RT$

$P = \frac{0.978kg/m^3}{0.04kg/mol}*8.314J/K.Mol * 305K$

$P = 619995.7Pa$

Therefore the pressure of the helium gas assuming it is ideal is 0.61Mpa

A certain fuse "blows" if the current in it exceeds 1.0 A, at which instant the fuse melts with a current density of What is the

Alborosie

Answer:

<em>0.45 mm</em>

Explanation:

The complete question is

a certain fuse "blows" if the current in it exceeds 1.0 A, at which instant the fuse melts with a current density of 620 A/ cm^2. What is the diameter of the wire in the fuse?

A) 0.45 mm

B) 0.63 mm

C.) 0.68 mm

D) 0.91 mm

Current in the fuse is 1.0 A

Current density of the fuse when it melts is 620 A/cm^2

Area of the wire in the fuse = I/ρ

Where I is the current through the fuse

ρ is the current density of the fuse

Area = 1/620 = 1.613 x 10^-3 cm^2

We know that 10000 cm^2 = 1 m^2, therefore,

1.613 x 10^-3 cm^2 = 1.613 x 10^-7 m^2

Recall that this area of this wire is gotten as

A = $\frac{\pi d^{2} }{4}$

where d is the diameter of the wire

1.613 x 10^-7 = $\frac{3.142* d^{2} }{4}$

6.448 x 10^-7 = 3.142 x $d^{2}$

$d^{2}$ = $\sqrt{ 2.05*10^-7}$

d = 4.5 x 10^-4 m = <em>0.45 mm</em>
