A long wire carries a current 5 A from west to east. A magnetic compass pointing North is placed underneath the wire at a distan

ce of 2 mm. What is the deflection of the compass when it is placed under the wire?

Answer:

no deflection

Explanation:

current is flowing from west to east. As the magnetic field of a long wire carrying current is circular, its direction will be north below the wire and south above the wire (according to the right hand rule). So, when the compass is placed underneath the wire, it will still point towards the north direction.

Gamma rays may be used to kill pathogens in ground beef. One irradiation facility uses a 60Co source that has an activity of 1.0
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

C_i=3.7\times 10^{16} \,decays/sec

Energy of gamma rays due to ore decay is

(1.17+1.33)MeV=2.50MeV

Energy of gamma ray produced in seconds is

(2.5\times 3.7\times 10^{16})MeV

Activity

1 \times 10^6c

Total energy of gamma ray produced in second is

(2.5 \times 3.7 \times 10^{16} \times 10^6)MeV

E-energy of gamma ray produced in an hour is

(2.5\times 3.7\times 10^{10}\times 60 \times 60)MeV

Gamma ray energy absorbed by meat = 30% (in 1 hour) of E is 0.3E

Dose required to kill pathogen = 4000Gy=4000J/kg

The kilogram of meat that can be produced per hour is

\frac{0.3E/hr}{4000J/kg}\\\\E=(2.5\times 3.7\times 10^{10}\times 60 \times 60)MeV\\\\=333\times 10^{18}MeV\\\\eV=1.6\times 10^{-19}\\\\E=53.3J

The meat that can be produced =\frac{0.3\times 53.3}{4000}=3.996\times 10^{-3}

A bicycle rides in a straight line at 1 km at 10
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

avg speed =total distance/total time

total distance =2km (given)

total time=1/10 +1/25=7/50

so avg speed =100/7=14.28

Rank the pressures from highest to lowest:
n200080 [17]

Answer:

P₃ > P₁ > P₂

Explanation:

To rank pressure of the given situation

a) we know

  Pressure at height h below

      P = ρ g h

density of salt water, ρ = 1029 kg/m³

      P₁ = 1029 x 10 x 0.2

      P₁ = 2058 Pa

b) density of fresh water, ρ = 1000 kg/m³

      P₂ = 1000 x 10 x 0.2

      P₂ = 2000 Pa

c) density of mercury, ρ = 13593 kg/m³

      P₃ = 13593 x 10 x 0.05

      P₃ = 6796.5 Pa

Rank of Pressures from highest to lowest

        P₃ > P₁ > P₂
