The weight (or the mass) of a planet is determined by its gravitational effect on other bodies. Newton's Law of Gravitation states that every bit of matter in the universe attracts every other with a gravitational force that is proportional to its mass.

A 22-turn circular coil of wire has diameter 1.02 m. It is placed with its axis along the direction of the Earth's magnetic fiel
ollegr [7]

Answer:

ξ = 0.00845020162 V or 8.4 mV

Explanation:

Magnetic flux measures the total magnetic field that passes through a known area. Magnetic flux describe the effect of magnetic field in a given area. Mathematically,

magnetic flux (Ф) = BA cos ∅

where

A = test area

B = magnetic field

before the flip

Ф = Bπr²N

N = number of turn

magnitude of induced emf = N |ΔФ/Δt|

ξ  = 2Nπr²B/dt

ξ  = 2 × 22 × π × (1.02/2)² × 0.000047/0.2

ξ = 44 × π × 0.51² × 0.000047/0.2

ξ = 44 × π × 0.2601  × 0.000047/0.2

ξ = 0.0005378868  × 3.142/0.2

ξ = 0.00169004032/0.2

ξ = 0.00845020162 V or 8.4 mV

The mass of a planet is 3.7 x 1024 kg. If the planet has a radius of 9.2 x 106 m what is the acceleration of gravity for a perso
nalin [4]

Explanation:

It s given that,

Mass of a planet, M=3.7\times 10^{24}\ kg

Radius of a planet, R=9.2\times 10^{6}\ m

(1) We need to find the acceleration due to gravity for a person on the surface of the planet. Its formula is given by :

g=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}

g=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\ Nm^2/kg^2\times 3.7\times 10^{24}\ kg}{(9.2\times 10^{6}\ m)^2}

g=2.91\ m/s^2

(2) The escape velocity is given by :

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R}}

v=\sqrt{{\dfrac{2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\ Nm^2/kg^2\times 3.7\times 10^{24}\ kg}{9.2\times 10^{6}\ m}}

v = 7324.61 m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

A copper wire 1.0 meter long and with a mass of .0014 kilograms per meter vibrates in two segments when under a tension of 27 Ne
Furkat [3]

Answer:

the frequency of this mode of vibration is 138.87 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

length of the copper wire, L = 1 m

mass per unit length of the copper wire, μ = 0.0014 kg/m

tension on the wire, T = 27 N

number of segments, n = 2

The frequency of this mode of vibration is calculated as;

F_n = \frac{n}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\F_2 = \frac{2}{2\times 1} \sqrt{\frac{27}{0.0014} }\\\\F_2 = 138.87 \ Hz

Therefore, the frequency of this mode of vibration is 138.87 Hz
