Answer:

Since steel contains iron (a magnetic metal), the magnets will attract the steel cans since aluminum is not magnetic. This is used to separate the steel cans from the aluminum cans so they can be recycled separately.

What is not an example of Absorption? (Physics)

amm1812

When a light wave strikes an object, it can be absorbed, reflected, or refracted by the object. All objects have a degree of reflection and absorption. ... In the natural world, light can also be transmitted by an object. That is, light can pass through an object with no effect (an x-ray, for example).

The electric field strength in the space between two closely spaced parallel disks is 1.0 105 N/C. This field is the result of t

balu736 [363]

Answer:

$D=2.996\times 10^{-2} m$

Explanation:

*Assume the parallel disks have equal diameters.

Given the electric strength as $1.0\times 10^5 N/C.$ transferring $3.9\times 10^9$ electrons, the disk's Area can be calculated using the formula:

$E=\frac{\eta}{\epsilon_o}=\frac{Q}{A\epsilon_o}\\\\A=\frac{Q}{E\epsilon_o}\\\\=\frac{(3.9\times 10^9)\times (1.6\times10^{-19})}{(1.0\times 10^5 )\times (8.85\times10^{-12})}\\\\A=7.0508\times 10^{-4} \ m^2$

#We now calculate the disks diameter:

$A=\pi(D/2)^2\\\\2\sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi}}=D\\\\=2\sqrt{7.0508\times 10^{-4}/\pi}\\\\D=2.996\times 10^{-2} \ m$

Hence, the diameter of the disks is $D=2.996\times 10^{-2} m$

Two teams of nine members each engage in tug-of-war. Each of the first team's members has an average mass of 68 kg and exerts an

diamong [38]

Answer:

(a) Acceleration = 0.1063 m/s^2 (Second team wins)

(b) Tension in rope = 65.106 N

Explanation:

Total mass of first team = 68 * 9 = 612 kg

Total force of first team = 1350 * 9 = 12150 N

Total mass of second team = 73 * 9 = 657 kg

Total force of seconds team = 1365 * 9 = 12285 N

Difference in force = 12285 - 12150 = 135 N (towards the second team as it has more force)

(a) For acceleration we get:

F = m * a

135 = (mass of both teams) * a

a = 135 / (612 + 657)

acceleration = 0.1063 m/s^2 (Second team wins)

(b) Since we know the acceleration of the first team (pulling being pulled towards the second team at an acceleration of 0.1063 m/s^2) , we can find out the force required to move them:

Force required for first team = mass of first team * acceleration

Force required = 612 * 0.1063

Force required = 65.106 N

This is the force exerted on the first team through the rope, so the tension in the rope will also be 65.106 N.

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer: 4.17m

Explanation:

The observer at C will hear a sound on no sound upon whether the interference is constructive or destructive.

If the listeners hears sounds it is caled constructive interference but if he hears no sound its called destructive interference.

d2 - d1 = (n *lamba)/ 2

Where n=1,3,5

lamda=v/f =349/62.8

lamda=5.56m

d2= d1 + nlamda/2

d2= 1 + 5.56/2

d2= 3.78m

X'= 1 cos 60= 0.5m

Y= 1 sin60= 0.866m

X"^2 + Y^2 =d2^2

X" =√(y^2 - d2^2)

X"=√(3.78^2 - 0.886^2)

X"= 3.67m

So therefore the closest that speaker A can be to speaker B so the listener does not hear any sound is X' + X"= 0.5 + 3.67

4.17m
