Answer:

Because of the high permeability and high saturation level of holding magnetism.

Explanation:

Soft iron always used in the core of an electromagnet because of the following reason which are discussed below.

Permeability: These magnets are highly permeable means they can gain magnetism when current is passes through them and instantly loose magnetism after removal of current.
High saturation level: The property of these soft magnets are they have the high value of saturation means they can hold high level of magnetism without easily saturating.

The soft iron inside the coil makes the magnetic field stronger because it becomes a magnet itself when the current is flowing. Soft iron is used because it loses its magne

Find refractive index first

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \mu=\dfrac{c}{v}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \mu=\dfrac{1.0003}{1.33}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \mu =0.75$

Now

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{sini}{sinr}=\mu$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{sin45}{sinr}=0.75$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{sin45}{0.75}=sinr$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow sinr=0.94$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow r=sin^{-1}(0.94)$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow r=70^{\circ}$

The height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170 m on a day when its temperature is 35.0°C. What will the change in i

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The deformation is 0.088289 m

The final height of the monument is 170-0.088289 = 169.911702 m

Explanation:

Thermal coefficient of marble varies between (5.5 - 14.1) ×10⁻⁶/K = α

So, let us take the average value

(5.5+14.1)/2 = 9.8×10⁻⁶ /K

Change in temperature = 35-(-18) = 53 K = ΔT

Original length = 170 m = L

Linear thermal expansion

$\frac{\Delta L}{L} = \alpha\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=\frac{\alpha\Delta T}{L}\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=9.8\times 10^{-6}\times 53\times 170$

The deformation is 0.088289 m

The final height of the monument is 170-0.088289 = 169.911702 m (subtraction because of cooling)

A battery has an electric potential of 1.5V and transfers 10.0 C between the two terminals. How much work was done?

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

15 Joules

Explanation:

work = charge x potential difference

= 10 x 1.5

= 15

True or false: Balanced forces can change an object's direction?

slava [35]

The statement is false. Balanced forces can NOT change the speed OR direction of an object's motion. (See Newton's #1 law of motion.)
