Calculate the true mass (in vacuum) of a piece of aluminum whose apparent mass is 4.5000 kgkg when weighed in air. The density o

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The true weight of the aluminium is $m_{alu} =$ 4.5021 kg

Explanation:

Given data

$m_{app}$ = 4.5 kg

$\rho_{air}$ = 1.29 $\frac{kg}{m^{3} }$

$\rho_{al}$ = 2.7× $10^{3} \frac{kg}{m^{3} }$

The true mass of the aluminium is given by

$m_{alu} = \frac{\rho_{alu}m_{app}}{\rho_{alu} -\rho_{air} }$

Put all the values in above equation we get

$m_{alu} = \frac{(2700)(4.5)}{2700-1.29}$

$m_{alu} =$ 4.5021 kg

Therefore the true weight of the aluminium is $m_{alu} =$ 4.5021 kg

A gas has an initial volume of 2.5 L at a temperature of 275 K and a pressure of 2.1 atm. The pressure of the gas increases to 2

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

2.10L

Explanation:

Given data

V1= 2.5L

T1= 275K

P1= 2.1atm

P2= 2.7 atm

T2= 298K

V2= ???

Let us apply the gas equation

P1V1/T1= P2V2/T2

substitute into the expression we have

2.1*2.5/275= 2.7*V2/298

5.25/275= 2.7*V2/298

Cross multiply

275*2.7V2= 298*5.25

742.5V2= 1564.5

V2= 1564.5/742.5

V2= 2.10L

Hence the final volume is 2.10L

The direction of the force on a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field is

Bess [88]

Answer:

Explanation:

The forces acting on a conductor carrying current placed in a magnetic field is analysed using the Fleming's left hand rule.

The rule states that "If the fire finger, the middle finger and the thumb are held mutually perpendicular to one another in a magnetic field, the fore finger acts in the direction of the magnetic field, the middle finger acts on the direction of the current while the thumb acts in the direction of the force.

Based on the rule, it can be inferred this current carrying wire placed in the magnetic field acts perpendicular to the magnetic field and force acting on the wire.

Two long parallel wires 40 cm apart are carrying currents of 10 A and 20 A in the opposite direction. What is the magnitude of t

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic field halfway between the wires is 3.0 x 10⁻⁵ T.

Explanation:

Given;

distance half way between the parallel wires, r = ¹/₂ (40 cm) = 20 cm = 0.2 m

current carried in opposite direction, I₁ and I₂ = 10 A and 20 A respectively

The magnitude of the magnetic field halfway between the wires can be calculated as;

$B = \frac{\mu _oI_1}{2 \pi r} + \frac{\mu_oI_2}{2\pi r}$

where;

B is magnitude of the magnetic field halfway between the wires

I₁ is current in the first wire

I₂ is current the second wire

μ₀ is permeability of free space

r is distance half way between the wires

$B = \frac{\mu_o I_1}{2\pi r} + \frac{\mu_o I_2}{2\pi r} \\\\B = \frac{\mu_o }{2\pi r} (I_1 +I_2)\\\\B = \frac{4\pi *10^{-7} }{2\pi *0.2} (10 +20) = 3.0 *10^{-5}\ T$
