Answer:
The answer is B. falseExplanation:
Current in the same direction
When current flow through to parallel conductors of a given length, when the current flows in the same direction
1. A force of attraction between the wires occurs and this tends to draw the wires inward
2. A magnetic field in the same direction is produced.
Current in opposite direction
when the current is in opposite direction
1. Force of repulsion between the two wires occurs, draws the wire outward
2. A magnetic field in opposite direction occurs
Suppose, we have a parallel plate capacitor and we know the following about it: Area of each plate = $0.0012m^2$ Distance between the two plates = $0.002m$ Charge on each plate after fully charging the capacitor = $2\times10^{-6}C$ Potential difference between the plates after fully charging the capacitor = $4\times 10^{-3}V$ My solution: We know that the electric field intensity at a point between two equally and oppositely charged plates is $\LARGE\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}$. So, for the above case, $$\large E = \frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}$$ $$\large\implies E = \frac{\frac{2\times10^{-6}}{0.0012}}{8.85\times10^{-12}}{NC^{-1}}$$ $$\large\implies E =188323917.1NC^{-1}$$ My book's solution: $$E = \frac{V}{d}$$ $$\implies E=\frac{4\times 10^{-3}V}{0.002m}NC^{-1}$$ $$\implies E = 2NC^{-1}$$ If the books solution is correct, could you please explain why my answer is wrong and the book's is correct?

a trombone can be modeled like an open closed air tube. the trombone plays a fifth harmonic of 159 hz. the speed of sound is 343 m/s. what is the wavelength of this sound
Answer:
The wavelength is 2.16 m.
Explanation:
Given the speed of the sound = 343 m/s
Trombone generate the frequency = 159 Hz
Now we have to find the wavelength of the sound. Here, we can find the wavelength by dividing the speed of the sound with frequency.
The wavelength of the sound = Speed of sound/frequency
Wavelength of the sound = 343 / 159 = 2.16 m
Sunlight strikes a piece of crown glass at an angle of incidence of 37.4o. Calculate the difference in the angle of refraction between a red (660 nm) and a blue (470 nm) ray within the glass. The index of refraction is n
Answer:
The difference in angle of refraction between the red and blue light is 0.2°
Explanation:
Here is the complete question
Sunlight strikes a piece of crown glass at an angle of incidence of 37.4°. Calculate the difference in the angle of refraction between a red (660 nm) and a blue (470 nm) ray within the glass. The index of refraction is n=1.520 for red and n=1.531 for blue light.
Solution
From Snell's law refractive index n = sini/sinr where i = angle of incidence and r = angle of refraction.
Now for the red light n₁ = 1.520, i = 37.4° and r₁ = angle of refraction of red light
So, n₁ = sini/sinr₁
n₁sinr₁ = sini
sinr₁ = sini/n₁
r₁ = sin⁻¹(sini/n₁) = sin⁻¹(sin37.4°/1.52) = sin⁻¹(0.6074/1.52) = sin⁻¹(0.3996) = 23.55°
Now for the blue light n₂ = 1.531, i = 37.4° and r₂ = angle of refraction of blue light
So, n₂ = sini/sinr₂
n₂sinr₂ = sini
sinr₂ = sini/n₂
r₂ = sin⁻¹(sini/n₂) = sin⁻¹(sin37.4°/1.531) = sin⁻¹(0.6074/1.531) = sin⁻¹(0.3967) = 23.37°
So the difference in angle of refraction between the red and blue light is r₁ - r₂ = 23.55° - 23.37° = 0.18° ≅ 0.2°
You need to make a spring scale to measure the mass of objects hung from it. You want each 1.0 cm length along the scale to correspond to a mass difference of 0.10 kg. What should be the value of the spring constant?
Answer:
The spring constant should be:
[tex]k= 98\, \frac{N}{m}[/tex]
Explanation:
Use Hooke's law for this problem, knowing that the magnitude of the force (F) on the spring equals the stretching it experiences [tex]\Delta x[/tex] times the spring constant "k":
[tex]F=k\,\Delta x[/tex]
in our case, since the mass hanging is given in kg, we need to multiply it by "g" to get the force exerted:
Then if we add to the spring in its relaxed state, a mass of 0.10 kg, and we want for that a displacement of 1 cm (0.01 m), then the value of the spring constant should be:
[tex]k=\frac{F}{\Delta x} \\k=\frac{9.8\,(0.1)}{0.01} \, \frac{N}{m} \\k= 98\, \frac{N}{m}[/tex]
A spherical balloon has a radius of 6.95m and is filled with helium. The density of helium is 0.179 kg/m3, and the density of air is 1.29 kg/m3. The skin and structure of the balloon has a mass of 960kg . Neglect the buoyant force on the cargo volume itself. Determine the largest mass of cargo the balloon can lift.
Answer:
602.27 kg
Explanation:
The computation of the largest mass of cargo the balloon can lift is shown below:-
Volume of helium inside the ballon= (4 ÷ 3) × π × r^3
= (4 ÷ 3) × 3.14 × 6.953
= 1406.19 m3
Mass the balloon can carry = volume × (density of air-density of helium)
= 1406.19 × (1.29-0.179)
= 1562.27 kg
Mass of cargo it can carry = Mass it can carry - Mass of structure
= 1562.27 - 960
= 602.27 kg
Two identical trucks have mass 5500 kg when empty, and the maximum permissible load for each is 8000 kg. The first truck, carrying a 3900 kg, is at rest. The second truck plows into it at 64 km/h, and the pair moves away at 44 km/h. As an expert witnes, you're asked to determine whether the second truck was overloaded. What do you report? Yes the truck is overloaded, or no, the truck is not overloaded?
Answer:
no, the truck is not overloaded
Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
Let us assume the mass of the loan in the second truck be M
So, the equation is as follows
{(Mass + M) × second truck × 1000 ÷ 3,600} = {(Mass + M + mass + first truck) × Pair moves away × 1,000 ÷ 3,600}
{(5500 + M) × 64 × 1,000 ÷ 3,600 = {(5,500 + M + 5,500 + 3,900) × 44 × 1,000 ÷ 3,600}
(5500 + M) × 64 = (14,900 + M) × 44
352,000 + 64 M = 655,600 + 44 M
After solving this
M = 15,180 kg
Therefore the second truck is not overloaded
A ferry boat sails east across a lake at 10 km/h. A woman is walking east on

A. 8.5 km/h west
B. 8.5 km/h east
C. 1.5 km/h east
O D. 1.5 km/h west
Answer:
B
8.5 km/h east
Explanation:
Relative velocity= Va -Vb
=10-1.5
=8.5 km/h east
The concept relative speed is used when two or more bodies moving with some speed are considered. The relative speed of woman to the boat is 8.5 km/h east. The correct option is B.
What is relative speed?The relative speed of two bodies is defined as the sum of their speeds if they are moving in the opposite direction and it is the difference of their speeds if they are moving in the same direction.
The speed of the moving body with respect to the stationary body is known as the relative speed. The term relative means in comparison to. The relative speed is a scalar quantity.
Here both the boat and women are travelling in the same direction. So the relative speed is given as:
Relative speed = 10 - 1.5 = 8.5 km / h
Therefore the relative speed is 8.5 km/h east.
Thus the correct option is B.

Answer:
IMA is always larger than the AMA
Explanation:
IMA is Ideal Mechanical Advantage and it equals the length of effort that is divided by the length of resistance which is given by the formula
IMA= Fr/Fe
Where Fr is the resistance force
Fe is the effort force.
IM= de/dr
Where de is the distance of the applied effort
dr is the distance traveled by the load.
In any real machine, the effort is needed to overcome friction and because of this, the ideal mechanical advantage(IMA) is always larger than the actual mechanical advantage (AMA)

A cyclist moves effortlessly at a constant speed of 12 m / s, but enters a muddy area where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.60. Will the rider leave the muddy area without having to pedal if the mud extends 11m? If so, how fast will it emerge?
Answer:
3.5 m/s
Explanation:
There are 3 forces on the cyclist:
Weight force mg pulling down,
Normal force N pushing up,
and friction force Nμ pushing left.
Sum of forces in the y direction:
∑F = ma
N − mg = 0
N = mg
∑F = ma
-Nμ = ma
-mgμ = ma
a = -gμ
a = -(10 m/s²)(0.60)
a = -6 m/s²
Velocity reached at end of 11 m:
v² = v₀² + 2aΔx
v² = (12 m/s)² + 2 (-6 m/s²) (11 m)
v = √12 m/s
v ≈ 3.5 m/s
Design a voltage divider to provide the following approximate voltages with respect to ground using a 30 V source: 8.18 V, 14.7 V, and 24.6 V. The current drain on the source must be limited to no more than 1 mA. The number of resistors, their values, and their wattage ratings must be specified. A schematic showing the circuit arrangement and resistor placement must be provided
Answer:
R₁ = 14.7 10³ Ω , R₂ = 8.18 10³ Ω , R₃ = 1.72 10³ Ω , R₄ = 5.4 10³ Ω 1/8 W resistor
Explanation:
For this exercise we must use a series circuit since the sum of the voltage on each resin is equal to the source voltage (V = 30 V)
Therefore we build a circuit with 4 resistors in series, in such a way that
V = i R
let the voltage
1st resistance
V = i R
R₁ = V / i
R₁ = 14.7 / 1 10⁻³
R₁ = 14.7 10³ Ω
power is
P = V i
P = 14.7 1 10⁻³
P = 14.7 10⁻³ W = 0.0147 W
a resistance of ⅛ W is indicated
2nd resistance
R₂ = 8.18 / 1 10⁻³
R₂ = 8.18 10³ Ω
Power
P = 8.18 1 10⁻³
P = 0.00818W
a 1/8 W resistor
3rd resistance
this resistance is calculated in such a way that
V₁ + V₂ + V₃ = 24.6
V₃ = 24.6 - V₁ -V₂
V₃ = 24.6 - 14.7 - 8.18
V₃ = 1.72 V
R₃ = 1.72 / 1 10⁻³
R₃ = 1.72 10³ Ω
power
P = Vi
P = 1.72 10⁻³
P = 0.00172 W
a resistance of ⅛ W
To obtain the voltage of 24.6 we use this three resistors together
4th resistance
The value of this resistance is calculated so that the sum of all the voltages reaches the source voltage
30 = V₁ + V₂ + V₃ + V₄
V₄ = 30 - V₁ -V₂ -V₃
V₄ = 30 -14.7 - 8.18 - 1.72
V₄ = 5.4 V
R₄ = 5.4 / 1 10⁻³
R₄ = 5.4 10³ Ω
Power
P = V i
P = 5.4 10⁻³
P = 0.0054 W
⅛ W resistance
The values of these resistance are commercially
Let's check the consumption of the circuit
R_total = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + R₄
R_total = (14.7 + 8.18 + 1.72 + 5.4) 10³
R_total = 30 10³
the current circulating in the circuit is
i = V / R_total
i = 30/30 10³
i = 1 10⁻³ A
therefore it is within the order requirement.

A bar magnet is dropped from above and falls through the loop of wire. The north pole of the bar magnet points downward towards the page as it falls. Which statement is correct?a. The current in the loop always flows in a clockwise direction. b·The current in the loop always flows in a counterclockwise direction. c. The current in the loop flows first in a clockwise, then in a counterclockwise direction. d. The current in the loop flows first in a counterclockwise, then in a clockwise direction. e. No current flows in the loop because both ends of the magnet move through the loop.
Answer:
b. The current in the loop always flows in a counterclockwise direction.
Explanation:
When a magnet falls through a loop of wire, it induces an induced current on the loop of wire. This induced current is due to the motion of the magnet through the loop, which cause a change in the flux linkage of the magnet. According to Lenz law, the induced current acts in such a way as to repel the force or action that produces it. For this magnet, the only opposition possible is to stop its fall by inducing a like pole on the wire loop to repel its motion down. An induced current that flows counterclockwise in the wire loop has a polarity that is equivalent to a north pole on a magnet, and this will try to repel the motion of the magnet through the coil. Also, when the magnet goes pass the wire loop, this induced north pole will try to attract the south end of the magnet, all in a bid to stop its motion downwards.
The current in the loop always flows in a counterclockwise direction. Hence, option (b) is correct.
The given problem is based on the concept and fundamentals of magnetic bars. When a magnet falls through a loop of wire, it induces an induced current on the loop of wire. There is some magnitude of current induced in the wire.
This induced current is due to the motion of the magnet through the loop, which cause a change in the flux linkage of the magnet. According to Lenz law, the induced current acts in such a way as to repel the force or action that produces it. For this magnet, the only opposition possible is to stop its fall by inducing a like pole on the wire loop to repel its motion down. An induced current that flows counterclockwise in the wire loop has a polarity that is equivalent to a north pole on a magnet, and this will try to repel the motion of the magnet through the coil. Also, when the magnet goes pass the wire loop, this induced north pole will try to attract the south end of the magnet, all in a bid to stop its motion downwards.Thus, we can say that the current in the loop always flows in a counterclockwise direction. Hence, option (b) is correct.

Explanation:
A telescope is an instrument that collects light from very distant objects, therefore very weak.
Therefore you should select a converging lens for large diameter lenses, to collect magnanimous light and with a large focal length.
For the eyepiece you must select a lens with a small focal length and the diameter is not important
the telescope magnification is
m = f_objective / F_ocular
The selected lenses should decrease chromatic aberration.

Describe how you expect the waveform and the sound you hear changes when you hit the tuning fork harder.
Answer:
In a tuning fork, two basic qualities of sound are considered, they are
1) The pitch of the waveform: This pitch depends on the frequency of the wave generated by hitting the tuning fork.
2) The loudness of the waveform: This loudness depends on the intensity of the wave generated by hitting the tuning fork.
Hitting the tuning fork harder will make it vibrate faster, increasing the number of vibrations per second. The number of vibration per second is proportional to the frequency, so hitting the tuning fork harder increase the frequency. From the explanation on the frequency above, we can say that by increasing the frequency the pitch of the tuning fork also increases.
Also, hitting the tuning fork harder also increases the intensity of the wave generated, since the fork now vibrates faster. This increases the loudness of the tuning fork.

If two firecrackers produce a sound level of 81 dBdB when fired simultaneously at a certain place, what will be the sound level if only one is exploded?
Answer:
77.96dB
Explanation:
Recall that decibels are a unit of measuring intensity of sound, and depend on the logarithm of the intensity
the intensity, measured in decibels is given by:
I(db)=10log(I/I0)
I is the intensity in MKS units; I0 is the threshold intensity for human hearing (10^-12 W/m^2)
Thus, if the two sounds together have a dB of 81, we know:
81=10log(I/I0)
using the data above, we can find the intensity of the two sounds to be
0.000125 W/m^2
therefore, one firecracker has an intensity half of that, or 0.0000625W/m^2
now use this value to find the dB of one firecracker:
I(dB0=10log(0.0000625/10^-12)=77.96dB

b. The sail should be absorbing because in this case the momentum transferred to the sail per unit area per unit time is larger than for reflective sail, therefore the radiation pressure is larger for the absorbing sail
c. The sail should be absorbing because in this case the momentum transferred to the sail per unit area per unit time is smaller than for reflective sail, therefore the radiation pressure is larger for the absorbing sail.
d. The sail should be reflective because in this case the momentum transferred to the sail per unit area per unit time is larger than for absorbing sail, therefore the radiation pressure is larger for the reflective sail
Answer:
d. The sail should be reflective because in this case the momentum transferred to the sail per unit area per unit time is larger than for absorbing sail, therefore the radiation pressure is larger for the reflective sail.
Explanation:
Let us take the momentum of a photon unit as u
we know that the rate of change of momentum is proportional to the force exerted.
For a absorbing surface, the photon is absorbed, therefore the final momentum is zero. From this we can say that
F = (u - 0)/t = u/t
for a unit time, the force is proportional to the momentum of the wave due to its energy density. Therefore,
F = u
For a reflecting surface, the momentum of the wave strikes the sail and changes direction. Since we know that the speed of light does not change, then the force is proportional to
F = (u - (-u))/t = 2u/t
just as the we did above, it becomes
F = 2u.
From this we can see that the force for a reflective sail is twice of that for an absorbing sail, and we know that the pressure is proportional to the force for a given area. From these, we conclude that the sail should be reflective because in this case the momentum transferred to the sail per unit area per unit time is larger than for absorbing sail, therefore the radiation pressure is larger for the reflective sail.
The mass (M) of a piece of metal is directly proportional to its volume (V), where the proportionality constant is the density (D) of the metal. (1) Write an equation that represents this direct proportion, in which D is the proportionality constant. The density of lead metal is 11.3 g/cm3. (2) What is the mass of a piece of lead metal that has a volume of 17.3 cm3
Answer:
1) M = 11.3V2) 195.49 gramsExplanation:
1) If the mass (M) of a piece of metal is directly proportional to its volume (V), where the proportionality constant is the density (D) of the metal, this is expressed mathematically as shown;
M ∝ V
M = kV
For every proportionality sign, there will always be a proportionality constant 'k'
Since the proportionality constant is the density (D) of the metal, the equation will become;
M = DV
Given the density to be 11.3 g/cm3, the equation will become;
M = 11.3V
Hence, the equation that represents this direct proportion, in which D is the proportionality constant with metal density of 11.3g/cm³ is M = 11.3V
2) If the volume of the metal is 17.3cm³, on substituting this values into the equation in (1) to get the mass of the metal, we will have;
M = 11.3V
M = 11.3 * 17.3
M = 195.49 grams
Hence, the mass of a piece of lead metal that has a volume of 17.3 cm³ is 195.49 grams.

Consider a bus traveling to the west (negative x direction) that begins to slow down as it approaches a traffic light. Which statement concerning its acceleration in the x direction is correct
Complete question is;
Consider a bus traveling to the west (-x direction) begins to slow down as it approaches a traffic light. Which statement concerning its acceleration in the x direction is correct
a) The bus is decelerating and its acceleration is positive.
b) The bus is decelerating, and its acceleration is negative.
c) The acceleration is zero.
d) A statement cannot be made using the information given.
Answer:
Option A - bus is decelerating and acceleration is positive.
Explanation:
We are told that the bus is travelling in (negative x direction) and begins to slow down. Since the bus is slowing down, it means that the bus is undergoing a negative acceleration which is called deceleration.
Thus, the bus is decelerating.
Since it is moving in the negative x-axis, it means acceleration is now; -(-a) which gives +a.
Thus, bus is decelerating and acceleration is positive.
