There are 200 turns of wire around an electromagnet. The current in the wire is 6 amp. You want to increase the strength of the magnet to 1.5 times its present strength. What are two changes you can make to achieve your goal? Show all your calculations.

Answers

Answer:

i. increasing the number of turns of the wire by half, so that it equals 300.

OR

ii. increasing the value of the current by half of its initial value, so that it equals 9 amp.

Explanation:

An electromagnet consists of a coil of wire wound around a conductor which becomes induced with magnetism when current flows through the coil.

The magnetic strength of the electromagnet can be increased to 1.5 of its initial strength either by;

i. increasing the number of turns by half of its initial value

OR

ii. increasing the current by half of its initial value

The magnetic strength of an electromagnet = I × N

where; I is the amount of current and N the number of turns.

Given that: I = 6 A, N = 200, then;

magnetic strength = 6 ×200

                              = 1200 Ampere turns

i. Increasing the number of turns to 300 and I = 6 A, we have;

magnetic strength = 6 × 300

                              = 1800 Ampere turns

OR

ii. increasing the value of current by half of its initial value, so that N = 200 and I = 9 A;

magnetic strength = 9 ×200

                              = 1800 Ampere turns

Answers

Answer: 44.89 times

Explanation:

Given that the earth's average velocity is about 6.7 times faster than that of planetoid Makemake

Given that the formula involved is:

R2/R1 = (V1/V2)^2

Let V1 = earth velocity and R1 = earth orbital distance

While R2 = Makemake velocity and R2 = orbital distance.

Since the earth's average velocity is about 6.7 times faster than that of planetoid Makemake, then,

V1/V2 = 6.7

Substitute this in the formula above

R2/R1 = (6.7)^2

R2/R1 = 44.89

Cross multiply

R2 = 44.89R1

Therefore, Makemake's orbit is about 44.89 times larger than the earth's orbit.

Answers

Answer:

Work done = 100 Nm

Potential energy = 250J

Explanation:

A person carrying a heavy weight of load without moving does no work. But the load will surely experience potential energy.

Work will be done when he or she covers a little distance.

If the weight of the load = 25 N and the distance covered is 4 metres, the workdone will be the product of the weight and distance covered. That is,

WD = F × d

WD = 25 × 4 = 100Nm

Let assume that the height of the man is 10 m tall.

The load will be experiencing potential energy of mgh. That is,

P.E = mgh

Since weight W = mg

Substitute weight and height into the formula

P.E = 25 × 10 = 250J

Sasha sits on a horse on a carousel 3.5 m from the center of the circle. She makes a revolution once every 8.2
seconds. What is Sasha's tangential speed?
O 0.9 m/s
O 1.3 m/s
O 2.7 m/s

Answers

~2.7 m/s. The circumference of the carousel, therefore the distance, is 22 meters, or 2 pi radius. Dividing that by the time will give you the velocity. Therefore, 22m / 8.2 seconds equals 2.7 m/s.

Answer:

tangential speed ≈ 2.7 m/s

Explanation:

formula: Vt = 2r / t

r = 3.5 m

t = 8.2 s

Vt = 2(3.5) / 8.2

Vt = 2.68184 m/s

Vt ≈ 2.7 m/s

Calculate the number of orbits that Mars completes in the time it takes for Saturn to complete one orbit.Immersive Reader

(5 Points)

Answers

Answer: 15 orbits

Explanation:

Given that the

Radius of Mars = 2.28 × 10^8 km

Radius of Saturn = 1.43 × 10^9 km

For a linear speed,

One revolution = 2πR

One revolution of Mars = 2 × π 2.28×10^8

And

One revolutionary of Saturn = 2 × π × 1.43 × 10^9

Since the relationship between angular speed and linear speed is

V = wr

Or

W = V/2πR

The number of orbits that Mars completes in the time it takes for Saturn to complete one orbit will be

(Vs/2π × 1.43 × 10^9) ÷ (Vm/2π × 2.28×10^8)

Where

Vm = linear speed of Mars = 24.1 km/s

Vs = linear speed of Saturn = 9.7km/s

(24.1/2π × 2.28×10^8) ÷ (9.7/2π × 1.43 × 10^9)

(24.1/2π × 2.28×10^8) × ( 2π × 1.43 × 10^9/9.7)

2π Will cancel each other

(24.1/2.28 × 10^8) × (1.43×10^9/9.7)

(24.1 × 1.43×10^9)/(2.28×10^8 × 9.7)

3.4463×10^10 / 2.2116×10^9

15.58 times

Therefore, Mars will complete 15 orbits in the time it takes for Saturn to complete one orbit.

Look at the periodic table which statement about the elements on the periodic table is true

Answers

Answer: B

Explanation:

The reactivity of alkaline metal ( example group one ) increases down the group because of the increase in atomic mass from the top to the bottom of the group. As the mass increases, the force between the nucleus and the valence electron gets weaker and the atom will easily give up the electron as a result of this which eventually increases its reactivity.

The reactivity of halogens decreases as atomic mass increases. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

Answer:

λ = L / # _ periods

Explanation:

We don't have the image of the string, but a wavelength is the minimum distance when the wave repeats, therefore the distance between two consecutive maxima is the wavelength in the string

A method used to decrease the error is to measure the distance in several consecutive maxima and divide the number of them, in this way the error in the measurements is divided between all the points, so the value of the wavelength is more exact

describe how light reflecting from a mirror can produce an image. In particular, explain how mirrors can produce images that are larger or smaller than life size, as well as upright or inverted.

Answers

Answer:

A larger image is produced when  [tex]d_i[/tex] > [tex]d_o[/tex]

A smaller image is produced when [tex]d_i[/tex] < [tex]d_o[/tex]

An upright image  is produced when m is positive

An upright image  is produced when m is negative

Explanation:

The mirror equation is given as follows;

[tex]\dfrac{1}{f} = \dfrac{1}{d_i} + \dfrac{1}{d_o}[/tex]

[tex]m =-\dfrac{d_i}{d_o} = \dfrac{h_i}{h_o}[/tex]

For concave mirrors, f = focal length

[tex]d_i[/tex] = Image distance from the mirror (-ve [tex]d_i[/tex] = Image is behind the mirror +ve [tex]d_i[/tex] = Image is in front of the mirror)

[tex]d_o[/tex] = Object distance from the mirror (-ve [tex]d_o[/tex] = Object is behind the mirror +ve [tex]d_o[/tex] = Object is in front of the mirror)

m = Magnification (-ve m = Inverted image +ve m = upright image)

[tex]h_i[/tex] = Image height

[tex]h_o[/tex] = Object height

f = Focal length of the mirror

To produce a larger image [tex]d_i[/tex] > [tex]d_o[/tex]

To produce a smaller image [tex]d_i[/tex] < [tex]d_o[/tex]

To produce an upright image, m should be positive hence, [tex]d_i[/tex] will be negative or the image will appear behind the mirror

To produce an inverted image, m should be negative hence, [tex]d_i[/tex] will be positive or the image will form in front of the mirror.

Assuming that voltage remains constant, what happens to the current in a wire as its diameter decreases? A. The current is not affected by a change in wire diameter. B. The current alternates between high and low values. C. The current increases. D. The current decreases.

Answers

Answer:

The current decreases

Explanation:

A P E X

Assuming that voltage remains constant, as its diameter decreases, its current decreases. hence option D is correct.

What is Current ?

Current is a flow of charges. it is denoted by i and expressed in ampere A. Mathematically it is expressed as i = q/t, where q is the amount of charge and t is time. Current is nothing but amount of charges flown in the unit time in the electric wire. Charge is expressed in coulomb C and time in second s. hence coulomb per second (C/s) is ampere A. Charge on electron is 1.60217663 × 10⁻¹⁹C which is called as elementary charge.

There are two types of the current, Convectional current and non-conventional current. Convectional current is the current flows from positive to negative. Non convectional current flows from negative to positive. Note that flow of electrons is from negative to positive. Hence direction of flow of conventional current is from positive to negative.

In this problem, voltage is constant and diameter of the wire is decreasing,

The relation between resistance and and resistivity is

R = ρ l/A

When diameter decreases, cross sectionals area decreases, it increases resistance of the wire. and due to increase in resistance, current decreases in order to keep the voltage constant(V=IR).

Hence option D is correct.

A boy pushes on a wagon so that it accelerates at a rate of 0.50 m/s2. The wagon has a mass of 24 kg. What is the magnitude of the boy's pushing force? (Ignore frictional effects.) 12 N 12 kg 48 N 48 kg

Answers

Answer:

12N

Explanation:

Force acting on any body is equal to mass of body multiplied by acceleration produced in the body.

Its formula is

F = M*a

where F is the force acting on body

M is the mass of the body

a is the acceleration produced in the body

Unit of force is Newton represented by N

1 N is force acting on body of mass 1 kg which produces acceleration of 1m/s^2.

_____________________________________

Given

a = 0.50 m/s^2

M = 24 kg

therefore

F = 24*0.5 = 12 N

Thus,  magnitude of the boy's pushing force is 12 N.

b. If the velocity of the car is increased to 45 km/hour, what is its kinetic energy?

c. If the velocity is increased to 80 km/hour, what is its kinetic energy?

Answers

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of an automobile is 25 km/h or 6.95 m/s

Kinetic energy of the automobile is [tex]10^4\ J[/tex]

(a) Kinetic energy of automobile s given by :

[tex]K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\m=\dfrac{2K}{v^2}\\\\m=\dfrac{2\times 10^4}{(6.95)^2}\\\\m=414\ kg[/tex]

(b) If the velocity of the car is increased to 45 km/hour or 12.5 m/s, new kinetic energy becomes :

[tex]K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 414\times (12.5)^2\\\\K=32343.75\ J[/tex]

(c) If the velocity is increased to 80 km/hour, 22.23 m/s, So

[tex]K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 414\times (22.23)^2\\\\K=102293.79\ J[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.

In the Position versus Time graph of an object moving in a straight line, what is the change in position in the fourth hour?
A) Zero
B) 15 miles
C) 35 miles
D) 75 miles

Answers

Answer:

Option B. 15miles.

Explanation:

From the question given, in the 4th hour simply means between 3rd and 4th hour.

Now, let us determine the position of the object at the 3rd and 4th hour. This is illustrated below:

At the 3rd hour:

Position (P3) = 60miles

At the 4th hour:

Position (P4) = 75miles

Finally, we shall determine the change in the position of the object as follow:

Change in the position = P4 – P3

Change in the position = 75 – 60

Change in the position = 15 miles

Therefore, the change in the position of the object in the 4th hour is 15miles.

A student is flying west on a school trip from Winnipeg to Calgary in a jet that has an air velocity of 792 km/h.The direction the plane would have to fly to compensate for a wind velocity of 62.0 km/h [N] is _____° S of W. (give your answer with the correct number of significant digits and do not include units)

Answers

Answer:

The direction the plane would have to fly to compensate for a wind velocity of 62.0 km/h[N] is 4.5° S of W

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

Velocity of Jet = 792 km/h

Direction of jet velocity = West

Velocity of wind = 62.0 km/h

Direction of wind velocity = North

Therefore, the jet has to have a component of 62.0 km/h South of West to compensate for the wind velocity

The direction of the plane, θ° South of West (S of W) to compensate for the wind is given as follows;

[tex]Tan \left (\theta \right )= \dfrac{62}{792} = \dfrac{31}{396}[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex]\theta = tan^{-1}\left (\dfrac{31}{396} \right ) = 4.476^{\circ} \approx 4.5^{\circ}[/tex]

The direction the plane would have to fly to compensate for a wind velocity of 62.0 km/h[N] = 4.5° S of W.

The direction the plane would have to fly to is : 4.5° south of west

Given data :

Jet velocity = 792 km/h

wind velocity = 62 km/h

Given that the direction of the jet velocity is west and the direction of the wind velocity is north.

The direction of component velocity of the Jet would be 62 km/h south of west

Determine the direction ( ∅ ) of the plane south of west

Tan ( ∅ ) = 62 / 792

Therefore ( ∅ ) = Tan⁻¹ ( 62/792 )

                          ≈ 4.5° S of W

Hence we can conclude that The direction the plane would have to fly to is : 4.5° south of west
