The magnitude of the magnetic field at point P for a certain electromagnetic wave is 2.12 μT. What is the magnitude of the electric field for that wave at P? (c = 3.0 × 108 m/s)

Answer:

B. 1.6 x 10⁻³ m

Explanation:

The magnetic field at the center of the loop is given by;

[tex]B = \frac{\mu_o I }{2R}[/tex]

Where;

μ₀ is the permeability of free space

I is the current in the loop

R is the radius of the circular loop

B is the magnetic field

Given;

diameter of the loop = 1cm

radius of the loop, r = 0.5 cm = 0.005 m

magnetic field, B = 2.5mT = 2.5 x 10⁻³ T

The current in the loop is calculated as;

[tex]I = \frac{2BR}{\mu_o} \\\\I = \frac{2*2.5*10^{-3}*0.005}{4\pi*10^{-7}} \\\\I = 19.89 \ A[/tex]

The magnetic at a distance from the long straight wire is calculated as;

[tex]B = \frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi d}[/tex]

where;

d is the distance from the wire;

[tex]d = \frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi B} \\\\d = \frac{4\pi *10^{-7} * 19.89}{2\pi *2.5*10^{-3}} \\\\d = 1.6 *10^{-3} \ m[/tex]

Therefore, the distance from the wire where the magnetic field is 2.5 mT is 1.6 x 10⁻³ m.

B. 1.6 x 10⁻³ m

This question involves the concepts of the magnetic field due to a loop and a  current-carrying wire and current.

A long straight wire carrying the same current as the loop of wire has a magnetic field of 2.5 mT at a distance of b "B. 1.5 x 10⁻³ m".

The magnetic field at the center of a loop of wire is given by the following formula:

[tex]B=\frac{\mu_o I}{2r}[/tex]

where,

B = Magnetic Field = 2.5 mT = 2.5 x 10⁻³ T

μ₀ = permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷ N/A²

I = current = ?

r = radius = diameter/2 = 1 cm/2 = 0.5 cm = 0.005 m

Therefore,

[tex]I = \frac{(2.5\ x\ 10^{-3}\ T)(2)(0.005\ m)}{4\pi\ x\ 10^{-7}\ N/A^2}[/tex]

I = 19.9 A

Now, the magnetic field at a distance from the straight wire is given by the following formula:

[tex]B=\frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi R}[/tex]

where,

R = distance from wire = ?

Therefore,

[tex]R = \frac{(4\pi \ x \ 10^{-7}\ N/A^2)(19.9\ A)}{2\pi(2.5\ x\ 10^{-3}\ T)}[/tex]

R = 1.6 x 10⁻³ m

Answer:

Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation

Answer:

34°

Using the relation

θᶜ = sin^-1(n₂/n₁),

where n1= the refractive index of light is propagating from a medium

And n2 = refractive index of medium into which light is entering

So we know that

refractive index of diamond at 589nm = 2.41= n₁

refractive index of ethanol at 589nm and 20°C = 1.36= n₂

Thus. θᶜ = sin^-1(1.361/2.417) = 0.58radians = 34°

Answer:

1.34 mm

Explanation:

A double slit experiment is conducted with a light which has a wavelength of 620 nm

The fringes are separated 2.3 mm apart

The light is changed to a wavelength length of 360 nm

Let x represent the fringe spacing as a result of the change in wavelength

Therefore,the fringe spacing can be calculated as follows

2.3mm/x= 620nm/360nm

Multiply both sides

x × 620= 2.3×360

620x= 828

x= 828/620

x= 1.34 mm

Answer:

Knowledge of vectors is important because many quantities used in physics are vectors. If you try to add together vector quantities without taking into account their direction you'll get results that are incorrect.

Explanation:

An example of the importance of vector addition could be the following:

Two cars are involved in a collision. At the time of the collision car A was travelling at 40 mph, car B was travelling at 60 mph. Until I tell you in which directions the cars were travelling you don't know how serious the collision was.

The cars could have been travelling in the same direction, in which case car B crashed into the back of car A, and the relative velocity between them was 20 mph. Or the cars could have been travelling in opposite directions, in which case it was a head on collision with a relative velocity between the cars of 100 mph!

Answer:

a)   Δt = 24.96 s , b)  τ = 0.078 N m

Explanation:

This is a rotational kinematics exercise

        θ = w₀ t - ½ α t²

Let's reduce the magnitudes the SI system

       θ = 60 rev (2π rad / 1 rev) = 376.99 rad

       w₀ = 7.0 rot / s (2π rad / 1 rpt) = 43.98 rad / s

      α = (w₀ t - θ) 2 / t²

let's calculate the annular acceleration

      α = (43.98 10 - 376.99) 2/10²

      α = 1,258 rad / s²

Let's find the time it takes to reach zero angular velocity (w = 0)

        w = w₀ - alf t

         t = (w₀ - 0) / α

         t = 43.98 / 1.258

         t = 34.96 s

this is the total time, the time remaining is

         Δt = t-10

         Δt = 24.96 s

To find the braking torque, we use Newton's law for angular motion

        τ = I α

the moment of inertia of a circular ring is

       I = M r²

we substitute

         τ = M r² α

we calculate

        τ = 0.625  0.315²  1.258

        τ = 0.078 N m

The total time taken by the wheel to come to rest is 25.18 s and the magnitude of the frictional torque is 25.18 N-m.

Given data:

The initial angular speed of wheel is, [tex]\omega = 7.0 \;\rm rps[/tex]   (rps means rotation per second).

The time interval is, t' = 10.0 s.

The number of rotations made by wheel is, n = 60.0.

The mass of bike wheel is, m = 0.625 kg.

The radius of wheel is, r = 0.315 m.

The problem is based on rotational kinematics. So, apply the second rotational equation of motion as,

[tex]\theta = \omega t-\dfrac{1}{2} \alpha t'^{2}[/tex]

Here, [tex]\theta[/tex] is the angular displacement, and its value is,

[tex]\theta =2\pi \times 60\\\\\theta = 376.99 \;\rm rad[/tex]

And, angular speed is,

[tex]\omega = 2\pi n\\\omega = 2\pi \times 7\\\omega = 43.98 \;\rm rad/s[/tex]

Solving as,

[tex]376.99 = 43.98 \times 10-\dfrac{1}{2} \alpha \times 10^{2}\\\\\alpha = 1.25 \;\rm rad/s^{2}[/tex]

Apply the first rotational equation of motion to obtain the value of time to reach zero final velocity.

[tex]\omega' = \omega - \alpha t\\\\0 = 43.98 - 1.25 \times t\\\\t = 35.18 \;\rm s[/tex]

Then total time is,

T = t - t'

T = 35.18 - 10

T = 25.18 s

Now, use the standard formula to obtain the value of braking torque as,

[tex]T = m r^{2} \alpha\\\\T = 0.625 \times (0.315)^{2} \times 1.25\\\\T = 0.0775 \;\rm Nm[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the total time taken by the wheel to come to rest is 25.18 s and the magnitude of the frictional torque is 25.18 N-m.

Answer:

His angular velocity will increase.

Explanation:

According to the conservation of rotational momentum, the initial angular momentum of a system must be equal to the final angular momentum of the system.

The angular momentum of a system = [tex]I[/tex]'ω'

where

[tex]I[/tex]' is the initial rotational inertia

ω' is the initial angular velocity

the rotational inertia = [tex]mr'^{2}[/tex]

where m is the mass of the system

and r' is the initial radius of rotation

Note that the professor does not change his position about the axis of rotation, so we are working relative to the dumbbells.

we can see that with the mass of the dumbbells remaining constant, if we reduce the radius of rotation of the dumbbells to r, the rotational inertia will reduce to [tex]I[/tex].

From

[tex]I[/tex]'ω' = [tex]I[/tex]ω

since [tex]I[/tex] is now reduced, ω will be greater than ω'

therefore, the angular velocity increases.

Answer:

Net force = 2.3686 × 10^(20) N

Explanation:

To solve this, we have to find the force of the earth acting on the moon and the force of the sun acting on the moon and find the difference.

Now, from standards;

Mass of earth;M_e = 5.98 × 10^(24) kg

Mass of moon;M_m = 7.36 × 10^(22) kg

Mass of sun;M_s = 1.99 × 10^(30) kg

Distance between the sun and earth;d_se = 1.5 × 10^(11) m

Distance between moon and earth;d_em = 3.84 × 10^(8) m

Distance between sun and moon;d_sm = (1.5 × 10^(11)) - (3.84 × 10^(8)) = 1496.96 × 10^(8) m

Gravitational constant;G = 6.67 × 10^(-11) Nm²/kg²

Now formula for gravitational force between the earth and the moon is;

F_em = (G × M_e × M_m)/(d_em)²

Plugging in relevant values, we have;

F_em = (6.67 × 10^(-11) × 5.98 × 10^(24) × 7.36 × 10^(22))/(3.84 × 10^(8))²

F_em = 1.9909 × 10^(20) N

Similarly, formula for gravitational force between the sun and moon is;

F_sm = (G × M_s × M_m)/(d_sm)²

Plugging in relevant values, we have;

F_se = (6.67 × 10^(-11) × 1.99 × 10^(30) ×

7.36 × 10^(22))/(1496.96 × 10^(8))²

F_se = 4.3595 × 10^(20) N

Thus, net force = F_se - F_em

Net force = (4.3595 × 10^(20) N) - (1.9909 × 10^(20) N) = 2.3686 × 10^(20) N

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the Continuity equation

v X A = v' xA'

so if A is 1/2of A' then A velocity must be 2 times the A'

after-contraction v = 2 x 5.0m/s = 10m/s

Using the Bernoulli equation

p₁ + ½ρv₁² + ρgh₁ = p₂ + ½ρv₂² + ρgh₂

, the "h" terms cancel

3.5 x 10^ 5Pa + ½ x 1000kg/m³x (5.0m/s)² = p₂ + ½ x 1000kg/m³ x (10m/s)²

p₂ = 342500pa

Answer:

A.   number of neutrons of Magnesium Mg = 13

B.   The average mass of Mg = 22.29 amu

C.   the magnesium composition on Mars is not the same as that on Earth.

Explanation:

Isotopes are atoms with the same atomic number but different mass number. This is due to the difference in mass of the neutrons.

The atomic number of Magnesium Mg = 12

The atomic number of an element is the number of protons present in the atomic nucleus of the element

i.e Atomic number = number of protons = 12

The mass number of an element is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus of the element.

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

Given that the mass number of Mg = 25

Then;

25 = 12 + number of neutrons

25 - 12 = number of neutrons

13 = number of neutrons

number of neutrons of Magnesium Mg = 13

B. What is the average atomic mass of magnesium in these rocks?

The average atomic mass of an element which exhibit isotopy is the average mass of its various isotopes as they occur naturally in any quantity of the element.

Therefore the average atomic mass of magnesium can be calculated as:

= [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{(23.9872 \times 79.70) + ( 24.9886 \times 10.13) + (25.9846 \times 10.17) }{79.7 + 10.13 +10.17}}[/tex]

= [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{(1911.77984) + ( 53.134518) + (264.263382) }{100}}[/tex]

= [tex]\mathtt{\dfrac{2229.17774 }{100}}[/tex]

The average mass of Mg = 22.29 amu

C. Is the magnesium composition on Mars the same as that on Earth? Explain.

The average atomic weight of magnesium on Earth is said to be 24.305 amu while that of Mars is 22.29 amu.

There difference in the average atomic weight result into difference in their composition. Therefore,the magnesium composition on Mars is not the same as that on Earth.

Answer:

The frictional force the road applies to the rear tire is static friction and it acts opposite to the direction in which the car is traveling.

Explanation:

This question suggests that the car is accelerating forward. Thus, the easiest way for us to know what friction is doing is for us to know what happens when we turn friction off.

Now, if there is no friction and the car is stopped, if we push down on the accelerator, it will make the front wheels to spin in a clockwise manner. This spin occurs on the frictionless surface with the rear wheels doing nothing while the car doesn't move.

Now, if we apply friction to just the front wheels, the car will accelerate forward while the back wheels would be dragging along the road and not be spinning. Thus, friction opposes the motion and as such, it must act im a direction opposite to where the car is going. This must be static friction.

The frictional force the road applies to the rear tire is static friction and it acts opposite to the direction in which the car is traveling.

Answer:

t = 23.6 min

Explanation:

First we need to find the mass of air in the room:

m = ρV

where,

m = mass of air in the room = ?

ρ = density of air at room temperature = 1.2041 kg/m³

V = Volume of room = 16 m x 16.5 m x 12.3 m = 3247.2 m³

Therefore,

m = (1.2041 kg/m³)(3247.2 m³)

m = 3909.95 kg

Now, we find the amount of energy consumed to heat the room:

E = m C ΔT

where,

E = Energy consumed = ?

C = Specific Heat of air at room temperature = 1 KJ/kg.⁰C

ΔT = Change in temperature = 21 °C - 13.5 °C = 7.5 °C

Therefore,

E = (3909.95 kg)(1 KJ/kg.°C)(7.5 °C)

E = 29324.62 KJ

Now, the time period can be calculated as:

P = E/t

t = E/P

where,

t = Time needed = ?

P = Power of heater = 20.7 KW

Therefore,

t = 29324.62 KJ/20.7 KW

t = (1416.65 s)(1 min/60 s)

t = 23.6 min

Now, workdone in moving the glove

W= Fd

Answer:

0.09N, attractive

Explanation:

It can be deducted from the question that the currents are arranged in parallel settings, then it is obvious that the force on each of the wire will be attractive toward the other wire.

the magnitude of force can be determined by using below formula;

F2 = (μ₀/2π)(I₁I₂/d)I₂

μ₀ = constant = 4π × 10^-7 H/m,

I₁, I₂ = currents= 30A

L = the length o the wire=30m

d = distance between these two wires= 0.06m

Since the current are arranged in the same direction, they exhibit attractive force on each other.

Then plugging the values Into the formula above we have

F₂ = (4π × 10^-7 T.m/A)/2π) × ((30A)²/ 0.06m)× 30 m

= 0.09 N, attractive

Therefore, the magnitude and direction of the force is 0.09 N, attractive

Answer:

The highest percentage of change corresponds to the thinnest rod, the correct answer is a

Explanation:

For this exercise we are asked to change the length of the bar by the action of a force applied along its length, in this case we focus on the expression of longitudinal elasticity

               F / A = Y ΔL/L

where F / A is the force per unit length, ΔL / L is the fraction of the change in length, and Y is Young's modulus.

In this case the bars are made of the same material by which Young's modulus is the same for all

              ΔL / L = (F / A) / Y

the area of ​​the bar is the area of ​​a circle

               A = π r² = π d² / 4

               A = π / 4 d²

we substitute

              ΔL / L = (F / Y) 4 /πd²

changing length

               ΔL = (F / Y 4 /π) L / d²

The amount between paracentesis are all constant in this exercise, let's look for the longitudinal change

a) values ​​given d and 3L

               ΔL = cte 3L / d²

               ΔL = cte L /d²  3

To find the percentage, we must divide the change in magnitude by its value and multiply by 100.

                ΔL/L % = [(F /Y  4/π 1/d²) 3L ] / 3L 100

                ΔL/L  % = cte 100%

b) 3d and L value, we repeat the same process as in part a

               ΔL = cte L / 9d²

               ΔL = cte L / d² 1/9

               ΔL / L% = cte 100/9

               ΔL / L% = cte 11%

c) 2d and 2L value

               ΔL = (cte L / d ½ )/ 2L

               ΔL/L% = cte 100/4

               ΔL/L% = cte 25%

d) value 4d and L

               ΔL = cte L / d² 1/16

                ΔL/L % = cte 100/16

                ΔL/L % = cte 6.25%

The highest percentage of change corresponds to the thinnest rod, the correct answer is a

Source voltage V = 110V

Required

Resistance of the bulb R

Substituting the given parameters into the formula for calculating power to get Resistance R;

P = V²/R

R = 110²/100

R = 110 * 110/100

R = 12100/100

R = 121 ohms

Hence, the resistance of this bulb is 121 ohms

      The angle of the sun is  [tex]\theta = 7.2 ^o[/tex]

So we want to first obtain the circumference of the earth

   So let assume that the earth is  circular ([tex]360 ^o[/tex])

  Now from question we know that the sun made an angle of [tex]7.2 ^o[/tex] so with this we will obtain how many  [tex](7.2 ^o)[/tex]  are in [tex]360^o[/tex]

=>      [tex]N = 50[/tex]

     With this  value we can evaluate the circumference as

             [tex]c = 50 * 800[/tex]

              [tex]c = 40000 \ km[/tex]

Generally circumference is mathematically represented as

        [tex]c = 2\pi r[/tex]

         [tex]40000 = 2 * 3.142 * r[/tex]

=>        [tex]r = 6365.4 \ km[/tex]

Answer:

the pressure after contraction is 2×10^5 Pa

the speed after contraction is 15m/s

Explanation:

We were given Pressure P to be 3.5 x 10^5 that is Flowing with speed of 5.0 m/s,

For us to calculate pressure we need to calculate the area first as;

Let initial Area = A₁

And Final area A₂

We were told that in a horizontal pipe it contracts to 1/3 its former area. Which means

A₂= A₁/3.................

V₁ is the speed

the pressure and speed of the water after the contraction can be calculated using equation of continuity below

A₂V₂ = A₁V₁

But

If we substitute given value in the expresion we have

V₂ = (3A *5)/A

V₂ = 15m/s

Therefore, the speed after contraction is 15m/s

Now we can calculate the pressure using

Bernoulli's equation

p₁ + ½ρv₁² + ρgh₁ = p₂ + ½ρv₂² + ρgh₂

But we know that the pipe is horizontal, then "h" terms cancel out then

p₁ + ½ρv₁² = p₂ + ½ρv₂²

Making P₂ subject of formula we have

p₂ = 0.5ρ( V ₁² - v₂² ) + P₁

P₂=. 0.5 × 1000 (5² -15² ) + 3*10^5

=2×10^5 Pa

Therefore, the pressure after contraction is 2×10^5 Pa

(a)  the final speed of the water after contraction is 15 m/s.

(b) The final pressure of the water after contraction is 2.5 x 10⁵ Pa.

The given parameters;

Let the initial area of the pipe = A₁

Apply the continuity equation to determine the final speed of the water after contraction as follows;

[tex]A_1 V_1 = A_2 V_2\\\\V_2 = \frac{A_1V_1}{A_2} \\\\V_2 = \frac{A_1 \times 5}{\frac{1}{3} A_1 } \\\\V_2 = 15 \ m/s[/tex]

The final pressure of the water after contraction is determined by applying Bernoulli's equation for horizontal pipe;

[tex]P_1 + \frac{1}{2} \rho V_1^2= P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho V_2^2\\\\P_2 = \frac{1}{2} \rho (V_1^2 - V_2^2) + P_1\\\\P_2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 1000(5^2 - 15^2) + 3.5 \times 10^5\\\\P_2 = 2.5 \times 10^5 \ Pa[/tex]

Answer:

Explanation:

The general decay equation is given as [tex]N = N_0e^{-\lambda t} \\\\[/tex], then;

[tex]\dfrac{N}{N_0} = e^{-\lambda t} \\[/tex] where;

[tex]N/N_0[/tex] is the fraction of the radioactive substance present = 1/16

[tex]\lambda[/tex] is the decay constant

t is the time taken for decay to occur = 8,450s

Before we can find the half life of the material, we need to get the decay constant first.

Substituting the given values into the formula above, we will have;

[tex]\frac{1}{16} = e^{-\lambda(8450)} \\\\Taking\ ln\ of \both \ sides\\\\ln(\frac{1}{16} ) = ln(e^{-\lambda(8450)}) \\\\\\ln (\frac{1}{16} ) = -8450 \lambda\\\\\lambda = \frac{-2.7726}{-8450}\\ \\\lambda = 0.000328[/tex]

Half life f the material is expressed as [tex]t_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{\lambda}[/tex]

[tex]t_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{0.000328}[/tex]

[tex]t_{1/2} = 2,112.8 secs[/tex]

Hence, the half life of the material is approximately 2113 seconds
