What would happen if you use a thicker wire around the iron nail of an electromagnet? (thats the whole question)

Answer:

When we have a current I, we will have a magnetic field perpendicular to this current.

Then if we have a wire in a "spring" form. then we will have a magnetic field along the center of this "spring".

Now suppose we put an iron object in the middle (where the magnetic field is) then we will magnetize the iron object.

Of course, the intensity of the magnetic field is proportional to the current, given by:

B = (μ*I)/(2*π*r)

Where:

μ is a constant, I is the current and r is the distance between to the current.

Now remember that for a resistor:

R = ρ*L/A

R is the resistance, ρ is the resistivity, which depends on the material of the wire, L is the length of the wire, and A is the cross-section of the wire.

If we increase the area of the wire (if we use a thicker wire).

And the relation between resistance and current is:

I = V/R

Where V is the voltaje.

Now, if we use a thicker wire, then the cross-section area of the wire increases.

Notice in the resistance equation, that the cross-section area is on the denominator, then if we increase the area A, the resistance decreases.

And the resistance is on the denominator of the current equation, then if we decrease R, the current increases.

If the current increases, the magnetic field increases, which means that we will have a stronger electromagnet.

A motorcyclist drives around a bend with a 20 m radius, with a constant velocity of 3 m/s. The motorcyclist and the motorcycle h
Pavel [41]

Answer:

a=0.45\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of a bend, r = 20 m

Velocity of motorcyclist, v = 3 m/s

The combined mass of motorcyclist and the motorcycle is 50 kg

We need to find the motorcyclist’s centripetal acceleration. The formula used to find the centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}\\\\a=\dfrac{(3)^2}{20}\\\\a=0.45\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the motorcyclist is 0.45\ m/s^2.

Answer:

Their number should increase

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon that causes the ejection of electrons from that metal as light shined onto a metal surface. Only certain frequencies of light can cause the ejection of electrons. However, if the frequency of the incident light is too low then no electrons were ejected even if the intensity of the light was very high. If the frequency of the light was higher then electrons were able to be ejected from the metal surface even if the intensity of the light was very low.

According to the accepted wave theory, light of any frequency will cause electrons to be emitted. Kinetic energy emitted by the electrons depends upon the intensity of light.

According to the accepted wave theory, number of electrons being ejected by the metal should increase

3. Pedro threw a penny into a fountain and it sank to the bottom. Which of the following would explain
____ [38]

Answer:

its B because we're not talking about mass even tho most people would have chosen A cuz it says mass and u they would think its apart of density but if ur testing to see density ur figuring out which object will sink and which one will float so da reason why da penny snuck it cuz da density is greater den da water and copper has a better chance of sinking den floating so dats why its B I hope dis helps :3

What is the magnitude of the momentum of a 3400 kg airplane traveling at a speed of 450 miles per hour?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of momentum of the airplane is 6.83\times 10^5\ kg-m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the airplane, m = 3400 kg

Speed of the airplane, v = 450 miles per hour

Since, 1 mile per hour = 0.44704 m/s

v = 201.16 m/s

We need to find the magnitude of momentum of the airplane. It is given by the product of mas and velocity such that,

p=mv

p=3400\ kg\times 201.16 \ m/s

p=683944\ kg-m/s

or

p=6.83\times 10^5\ kg-m/s

So, the magnitude of momentum of the airplane is 6.83\times 10^5\ kg-m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
