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.

A centrifuge used in DNA extraction spins at a maximum rate of 7000rpm producing a "g-force" on the sample that is 6000 times th

defon

Answer:

A) a = 73.304 rad/s²

B) Δθ = 3665.2 rad

Explanation:

A) From Newton's first equation of motion, we can say that;

a = (ω - ω_o)/t. We are given that the centrifuge spins at a maximum rate of 7000rpm.

Let's convert to rad/s = 7000 × 2π/60 = 733.04 rad/s

Thus change in angular velocity = (ω - ω_o) = 733.04 - 0 = 733.04 rad/s

We are given; t = 10 s

Thus;

a = 733.04/10

a = 73.304 rad/s²

B) From Newton's third equation of motion, we can say that;

ω² = ω_o² + 2aΔθ

Where Δθ is angular displacement

Making Δθ the subject;

Δθ = (ω² - ω_o²)/2a

At this point, ω = 0 rad/s while ω_o = 733.04 rad/s

Thus;

Δθ = (0² - 733.04²)/(2 × 73.304)

Δθ = -537347.6416/146.608

Δθ = - 3665.2 rad

We will take the absolute value.

Thus, Δθ = 3665.2 rad

A weight lifter is trying to do a bicep curl with a weight of 300 N. At the "sticking point", the moment arm of this weight is 3

lesantik [10]

Answer:

The weight lifter would not get past this sticking point.

Explanation:

Generally torque applied on the weight is mathematically represented as

T = F z

To obtain Elbow torque we substitute 4000 N for F (the force ) and 2cm $= \frac{2}{100} = 0.02m$ for z the perpendicular distance

So Elbow Torque is $T_e= 4000 * 0.02$

$= 80Nm$

To obtain the torque required we substitute 300 N for F and 30cm $=\frac{30}{100} = 0.3 m$

So the Required Torque is $T_R = 300 *0.3$

$=90Nm$

Now since $T_e < T_R$ it mean that the weight lifter would not get past this sticking point

The magnitude of the magnetic flux through the surface of a circular plate is 5.90 10-5 T · m2 when it is placed in a region of

valkas [14]

Answer:

The strength of the magnetic field is 3.5 x 10⁻³ T

Explanation:

Given;

magnitude of the magnetic flux , Φ = 5.90 x 10⁻⁵ T·m²

angle of inclination of the field, θ = 42.0°

radius of the circular plate, r = 8.50 cm = 0.085 m

Generally magnetic flux in a uniform magnetic field is given as;

Φ = BACosθ

where;

B is the strength of the magnetic field

A is the area of the circular plate

Area of the circular plate:

A = πr²

A = π (0.085)² = 0.0227 m²

The strength of the magnetic field:

B = Φ / ACosθ

B = ( 5.90 x 10⁻⁵) / ( 0.0227 x Cos42)

B = 3.5 x 10⁻³ T

Therefore, the strength of the magnetic field is 3.5 x 10⁻³ T
