Answer:
B = 0.118 T
Explanation:
From Biot-Savart Law:
[tex]B = \frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi r}[/tex]
where,
B = strength of magnetic field = ?
μ₀ = 4π x 10⁻⁷ Tm/A
I = current enclosed = 474.1 A
r = radius = 0.8 mm = 8 x 10⁻⁴ m
Therefore,
[tex]B = \frac{(4\pi\ x\ 10^{-7}\ Tm/A)(474.1\ A)}{2\pi(8\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m)}[/tex]
B = 0.118 T
A uniform steel rod of length 0.9 m and mass 3.8 kg has two point masses of 2.3 kg each at the two ends. Calculate the moment of inertia of the system about an axis perpendicular to the rod, and passing through its center.
Answer: [tex]2.4705\ kg.m^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Given
length of the rod is L=0.9 m
Mass of the rod m=3.8 kg
Point masses has mass of m=2.3 kg
Moment of Inertia of the rod about the center is
[tex]\Rightarrow I_o=\dfrac{1}{12}ML^2[/tex]
Moment of inertia of combined system is the sum of rod and two point masses.
[tex]\Rightarrow I=I_o+2mr^2[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{1}{12}3.8\times 0.9^2+2\times 2.3\times \left(\dfrac{0.9}{2}\right)^2\\\\\Rightarrow I=1.539+0.9315\\\Rightarrow I=2.4705\ kg-m^2[/tex]

Fluids in which the shear stress must reach
certain minimum value(yield stress)
before flow commences are called
Answer:
Plastic
Explanation:
Shear Modulus can be defined as the ratio of shear stress to shear strain with respect to a physical object.
This ultimately implies that, Shear Modulus arises as a result of the application of a shear force on an object or body which eventually leads to its deformation. Thus, this phenomenon is simply used by scientists to measure or determine the rigidity of an object or body.
Fluids in which the shear stress must reach certain minimum value (yield stress) before flow commences are called plastic. Thus, a plastic would only begin to flow when its shear stress attain a certain minimum value (yield stress). The unit of measurement of yield stress is usually mega pascal (MPa).

Explanation:
A 10.0 L tank contains 0.329 kg of helium at 28.0 ∘C. The molar mass of helium is 4.00 g/mol . Part A How many moles of helium are in the tank? Express your answer in moles.
Answer:
82.25 moles of He
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Volume (V) = 10 L
Mass of He = 0.329 Kg
Temperature (T) = 28.0 °C
Molar mass of He = 4 g/mol
Mole of He =?
Next, we shall convert 0.329 Kg of He to g. This can be obtained as follow:
1 Kg = 1000 g
Therefore,
0.329 Kg = 0.329 Kg × 1000 g / 1 Kg
0.329 Kg = 329 g
Thus, 0.329 Kg is equivalent to 329 g.
Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of He in the tank. This can be obtained as illustrated below:
Mass of He = 329 g
Molar mass of He = 4 g/mol
Mole of He =?
Mole = mass / molar mass
Mole of He = 329 / 4
Mole of He = 82.25 moles
Therefore, there are 82.25 moles of He in the tank.
A planet of mass m moves around the Sun of mass M in an elliptical orbit. The maximum and minimum distance of the planet from the Sun are r1 and r2, respectively. Find the relation between the time period of the planet in terms of r1 and r2.
Answer:
the relation between the time period of the planet is
T = 2π √[( r1 + r2 )³ / 8GM ]
Explanation:
Given the data i the question;
mass of sun = M
minimum and maximum distance = r1 and r2 respectively
Now, using Kepler's third law,
" the square of period T of any planet is proportional to the cube of average distance "
T² ∝ R³
average distance a = ( r1 + r2 ) / 2
we know that
T² = 4π²a³ / GM
T² = 4π² [( ( r1 + r2 ) / 2 )³ / GM ]
T² = 4π² [( ( r1 + r2 )³ / 8 ) / GM ]
T² = 4π² [( r1 + r2 )³ / 8GM ]
T = √[ 4π² [( r1 + r2 )³ / 8GM ] ]
T = 2π √[( r1 + r2 )³ / 8GM ]
Therefore, the relation between the time period of the planet is
T = 2π √[( r1 + r2 )³ / 8GM ]
g A mass of 2.0 kg traveling at 3.0 m/s along a smooth, horizontal plane hits a relaxed spring. The mass is slowed to zero velocity when the spring has been compressed by 0.15 m. What is the spring constant of the spring
By the work-energy theorem, the total work done on the mass by the spring is equal to the change in the mass's kinetic energy:
W = ∆K
and the work done by a spring with constant k as it gets compressed a distance x is -1/2 kx ²; the work it does is negative because the restoring force of the spring points opposite the direction in which it's getting compressed.
So we have
-1/2 k (0.15 m)² = 0 - 1/2 (2.0 kg) (3.0 m/s)²
Solve for k to get k = 800 N/m.
David is driving a steady 30 m/s when he passes Tina, who is sitting in her car at rest. Tina begins to accelerate at a steady 2.0 m/s2 at the instant when David passes. How far does Tina drive before passing David?
A body starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 5m/s. Calculate the time taken by the body to cover a distance of 1km

20 seconds
Explanation:
We are given 2 givens in the first statement
v0=0 and a=5
And we are trying to find time needed to cover 1km or 1000m.
So we use
x-x0=v0t+1/2at²
Plug in givens
1000=0+2.5t²
solve for t
t²=400
t=20s
1.a machine gun fires a ball with an initial velocity of 600m/s with an elevation of 30° with respect to the ground neglecting air resistance calculate:
a.the maximum height that can be reached?
b.the time of flight of the bullet?
c.the maximum horizontal displacement of the ired bullet?
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
a) maximum height of a projectile = u sin^2θ/2g
H= 600 × (sin 30)^2/2 × 10
H= 7.5 m
b) Time of flight
t= 2u sinθ/g
t= 2 × 600 sin 30/10
t= 60 seconds
Range
R= u^2sin2θ/g
R= (600)^2 × sin2(30)/10
R= 31.2 m
190 students sit in an auditorium listening to a physics lecture. Because they are thinking hard, each is using 125 W of metabolic power, slightly more than they would use at rest. An air conditioner with a COP of 5.0 is being used to keep the room at a constant temperature. What minimum electric power must be used to operate the air conditioner?
Answer:
W = 4.75 KW
Explanation:
First, we will calculate the heat to be removed:
Q = (No. of students)(Metabolic Power of Each Student)
Q = (190)(125 W)
Q = 23750 W = 23.75 KW
Now the formula of COP is:
[tex]COP = \frac{Q}{W}\\\\W = \frac{Q}{COP}\\\\W = \frac{23.75\ KW}{5}\\\\[/tex]
W = 4.75 KW

The weight of a hydraulic barber's chair with a client is 2100 N. When the barber steps on the input piston with a force of 44 N, the output plunger of a hydraulic system begins to lift the chair. Determine the ratio of the radius of the output plunger to the radius of the input piston.
Answer:
[tex]\frac{r_1}{r_2}=6.9[/tex]
Explanation:
According to Pascal's Law, the pressure transmitted from input pedal to the output plunger must be same:
[tex]P_1 = P_2\\\\\frac{F_1}{A_1}=\frac{F_2}{A_2}\\\\\frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{A_1}{A_2}\\\\\frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{\pi r_1^2}{\pi r_2^2}\\\\\frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}[/tex]
where,
F₁ = Load lifted by output plunger = 2100 N
F₂ = Force applied on input piston = 44 N
r₁ = radius of output plunger
r₂ = radius of input piston
Therefore,
[tex]\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}=\frac{2100\ N}{44\ N}\\\\\frac{r_1}{r_2}=\sqrt{\frac{2100\ N}{44\ N}} \\\\\frac{r_1}{r_2}=6.9[/tex]
Two blocks in contact with each other are pushed to the right across a rough horizontal surface by the two forces shown. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between each of the blocks and the surface is 0.30, determine the magnitude of the force exerted on the 2.0-kg block by the 3.0-kg block.
I assume the blocks are pushed together at constant speed, and it's not so important but I'll also assume it's the smaller block being pushed up against the larger one. (The opposite arrangement works out much the same way.)
Consider the forces acting on either block. Let the direction in which the blocks are being pushed by the positive direction.
The 2.0-kg block feels
• the downward pull of its own weight, (2.0 kg) g
• the upward normal force of the surface, magnitude n₁
• kinetic friction, mag. f₁ = 0.30n₁, pointing in the negative horizontal direction
• the contact force of the larger block, mag. c₁, also pointing in the negative horizontal direction
• the applied force, mag. F, pointing in the positive horizontal direction
Meanwhile the 3.0-kg block feels
• its own weight, (3.0 kg) g, pointing downward
• normal force, mag. n₂, pointing upward
• kinetic friction, mag. f₂ = 0.30n₂, pointing in the negative horizontal direction
• contact force from the smaller block, mag. c₂, pointing in the positive horizontal direction (this is the force that is causing the larger block to move)
Notice the contact forces form an action-reaction pair, so that c₁ = c₂, so we only need to find one of these, and we can get it right away from the net forces acting on the 3.0-kg block in the vertical and horizontal directions:
• net vertical force:
n₂ - (3.0 kg) g = 0 ==> n₂ = (3.0 kg) g ==> f₂ = 0.30 (3.0 kg) g
• net horizontal force:
c₂ - f₂ = 0 ==> c₂ = 0.30 (3.0 kg) g ≈ 8.8 N

Cell phone conversations are transmitted by high-frequency radio waves. Suppose the signal has wavelength 35 cm while traveling through air. What are the
(a) frequency and
(b) wavelength as the signal travels through 3-mm-thick window glass into your room?
Answer:
(a) 8.57 x 10^8 Hz
(b) 23.3 cm
Explanation:
Wavelength = 35 cm = 0.35 m
speed =3 x10^8 m/s
Let the frequency is f.
(a) The relation is
speed = frequency x wavelength
3 x 10^8 = 0.35 x f
f = 8.57 x 10^8 Hz
(b) refractive index of glass is 1.5
The relation for the refractive index and the wavelength is
wavelength in glass= wavelength in air/ refractive index.
Wavelength in glass= 35/1.5 = 23.3 cm

What is the total surface charge qint on the interior surface of the conductor (i.e., on the wall of the cavity)
Answer: hello your question is incomplete below is the missing part
A spherical cavity is hollowed out of the interior of a neutral conducting sphere. At the center of the cavity is a point charge, of positive charge q.
answer:
- q
Explanation:
Since the spherical cavity was carved out of a neutral conducting sphere hence the electric field inside this conductor = zero
given that there is a point charge +q at the center of the spherical cavity hence for the electric field inside the conductor to be = zero the total surface charge qint on the wall of the cavity will be -q
1. A block of mass m = 10.0 kg is released with a speed v from a frictionless incline at height 7.00 m. The
block reaches the horizontal ground and then slides up another frictionless incline as shown in Fig. 1.1. If the
horizontal surface is also frictionless and the maximum height that the block can slide up to is 26.0 m, (a) what
is the speed v of the block equal to when it is released and (b) what is the speed of the block when it reaches
the horizontal ground? If a portion of length 1 2.00 m on the horizontal surface is frictional with coefficient
of kinetic friction uk = 0.500 (Fig. 1.2) and the block is released at the same height 7.00 m with the same
speed v determined in (a), (c) what is the maximum height that the block can reach, (d) what is the speed of the
block at half of the maximum height, and (e) how many times will the block cross the frictional region before
it stops completely?
1 = 2.00 m (frictional region)
Let A be the position of the block at the top of the first incline; B its position at the bottom of the first incline; C its position at the bottom of the second incline; and D its position at the top of the second incline. I'll denote the energy of the block at a given point by E (point).
At point A, the block has total energy
E (A) = (10.0 kg) (9.80 m/s²) (7.00 m) + 1/2 (10.0 kg) v₀²
E (A) = 686 J + 1/2 (10.0 kg) v₀²
At point B, the block's potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, so that its total energy is
E (B) = 1/2 (10.0 kg) v₁²
The block then slides over the horizontal surface with constant speed v₁ until it reaches point C and slides up a maximum height of 26.0 m to point D. Its total energy at D is purely potential energy,
E (D) = (10.0 kg) (9.80 m/s²) (26.0 m) = 2548 J
Throughout this whole process, energy is conserved, so
E (A) = E (B) = E (C) = E (D)
(a) Solve for v₀ :
686 J + 1/2 (10.0 kg) v₀² = 2548 J
==> v₀ ≈ 19.3 m/s
(b) Solve for v₁ :
1/2 (10.0 kg) v₁² = 2548 J
==> v₁ ≈ 22.6 m/s
Now if the horizontal surface is not frictionless, kinetic friction will contribute some negative work to slow down the block between points C and D. Check the net forces acting on the block over this region:
• net horizontal force:
∑ F = -f = ma
• net vertical force:
∑ F = n - mg = 0
where f is the magnitude of kinetic friction, a is the block's acceleration, n is the mag. of the normal force, and mg is the block's weight. Solve for a :
n = mg = (10.0 kg) (9.80 m/s²) = 98.0 N
f = µn = 0.500 (98.0 N) = 49.0 N
==> - (49.0 N) = (10.0 kg) a
==> a = - 4.90 m/s²
The block decelerates uniformly over a distance 2.00 m and slows down to a speed v₂ such that
v₂² - v₁² = 2 (-4.90 m/s²) (2.00 m)
==> v₂² = 490 m²/s²
and thus the block has total/kinetic energy
E (C) = 1/2 (10.0 kg) v₂² = 2450 J
(c) The block then slides a height h up the frictionless incline to D, where its kinetic energy is again converted to potential energy. With no friction, E (C) = E (D), so
2450 J = (10.0 kg) (9.80 m/s²) h
==> h = 25.0 m
(d) At half the maximum height, the block has speed v₃ such that
2450 J = (10.0 kg) (9.80 m/s²) (h/2) + 1/2 (10.0 kg) v₃²
==> v₃ ≈ 15.7 m/s
The block loses speed and thus energy as it moves between B and C, but its energy is conserved elsewhere. If we ignore the inclines and pretend that the block is sliding over a long horizontal surface, then its velocity v at time t is given by
v = v₁ + at = 22.6 m/s - (4.90 m/s²) t
The block comes to a rest when v = 0 :
0 = 22.6 m/s - (4.90 m/s²) t
==> t ≈ 4.61 s
It covers a distance x after time t of
x = v₁t + 1/2 at ²
so when it comes to a complete stop, it will have moved a distance of
x = (22.6 m/s) (4.61 s) + 1/2 (-4.90 m/s²) (4.61 s)² = 52.0 m
(e) The block crosses the rough region
(52.0 m) / (2.00 m) = 26 times

The following two waves are sent in opposite directions on a horizontal string so as to create a standing wave in a vertical plane: y1(x, t) = (8.20 mm) sin(4.00πx - 430πt) y2(x, t) = (8.20 mm) sin(4.00πx + 430πt), with x in meters and t in seconds. An antinode is located at point A. In the time interval that point takes to move from maximum upward displacement to maximum downward displacement, how far does each wave move along the string?
Answer:
Explanation:
From the information given:
The angular frequency ω = 430 π rad/s
The wavenumber k = 4.00π which can be expressed by the equation:
k = ω/v
∴
4.00 = 430 /v
v = 430/4.00
v = 107.5 m/s
Similarly: k = ω/v = 2πf/fλ
We can say that:
k = 2π/λ
4.00 π = 2π/λ
wavelength λ = 2π/4.00 π
wavelength λ = 0.5 m
frequency of the wave can now be calculated by using the formula:
f = v/λ
f = 107.5/0.5
f = 215 Hz
Also, the Period(T) = 1/215 secs
The time at which particle proceeds from point A to its maximum upward displacement and to its maximum downward displacement can be computed as t = T/2;
Thus, the distance(x) covered by each wave during this time interval(T/2) will be:
x = v * t
x = v * T/2
x = λ/2
x = 0.5/2
x = 0.25 m

Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Amplitude [tex]a=4.20cm[/tex]
Spring Constant [tex]K=262N/m[/tex]
Mass [tex]m=560g[/tex]
Generally the equation for mechanical energy is mathematically given by

Three 15-Ω and two 25-Ω light bulbs and a 24 V battery are connected in a series circuit. What is the current that passes through each bulb?
1) 0.18 A
2) 0.25 A
3) 0.51 A
4) 0.74 A
5) The current will be 1.6 A in the 15-Ω bulbs and 0.96 A in the 25-Ω bulbs.
Answer:
I = 0.25 A
Explanation:
Given that,
Three 15 ohms and two 25 ohms light bulbs and a 24 V battery are connected in a series circuit.
In series combination, the equivalent resistance is given by :
[tex]R=R_1+R_2+R_3+....[/tex]
So,
[tex]R=15+15+15+25+25\\\\=95\ \Omega[/tex]
The current each resistor remains the same in series combination. It can be calculated using Ohm's law i.e.
V = IR
[tex]I=\dfrac{V}{R}\\\\I=\dfrac{24}{95}\\\\I=0.25\ A[/tex]
So, the current of 0.25 A passes through each bulb.
A 165-km-long high-voltage transmission line 2.00 cm in diameter carries a steady current of 1,015 A. If the conductor is copper with a free charge density of 8.50 1028 electrons per cubic meter, how many years does it take one electron to travel the full length of the cable?
Answer:
22.1 years
Explanation:
Since the current in the wire is I = nevA where n = electron density = 8.50 × 10²⁸ electrons/cm³ × 10⁶ cm³/m³= 8.50 × 10³⁴ electrons/m³, e = electron charge = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C, v = drift velocity of electrons and A = cross-sectional area of wire = πd²/4 where d = diameter of wire = 2.00 cm = 2 × 10⁻² m
Making v subject of the formula, we have
v = I/neA
So, v = I/neπd²/4
v = 4I/neπd²
Since I = 1,015 A, substituting the values of the other variables into the equation, we have
v = 4I/neπd²
v = 4(1,015 A)/[8.50 × 10³⁴ electrons/m³ × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × π ×(2 × 10⁻² m)²]
v = 4(1,015 A)/[8.50 × 10³⁴ electrons/m³ × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × π × 4 × 10⁻⁴ m²]
v = (1,015 A)/[42.779 × 10¹¹ electronsC/m]
v = 23.73 × 10⁻¹¹ m/s
v = 2.373 × 10⁻¹⁰ m/s
Since distance d = speed, v × time, t
d = vt
So, the time it takes one electron to travel the full length of the cable is t = d/v
Since d = distance moved by free charge = length of transmission line = 165 km = 165 × 10³ m and v = drift velocity of charge = 2.373 × 10⁻¹⁰ m/s
t = 165 × 10³ m/2.373 × 10⁻¹⁰ m/s
t = 69.54 × 10⁷ s
t = 6.954 × 10⁸ s
Since we have 365 × 24 hr/day × 60 min/hr × 60 s/min = 31536000 s in a year = 3.1536 × 10⁷ s
So, 6.954 × 10⁸ s = 6.954 × 10⁸ s × 1yr/3.1536 × 10⁷ s = 2.21 × 10 yrs = 22.1 years
It will take one electron 22.1 years to travel the full length of the cable

Which physical phenomenon is illustrated by the fact that the prism has different refractive indices for different colors
Answer:
The incoming white light is composed of light of different colors,
Since these different colors have different refractive indices they are refracted at different angles from one another.
The output light is then separated by color creating a color spectrum.
Since n is greater for shorter wavelengths (violet colors) these wavelengths are refracted thru the larger angles.

For time:
Initial time (t₁) = 0 s
Final time (t₂) = 3 s
Change in time (Δt) =?
Δt = t₂ – t₁
Δt = 3 – 0
Δt = 3 s
Finally, we shall determine the acceleration of the object. This can be obtained as follow:
Change in velocity (Δv) = –15 m/s
Change in time (Δt) = 3 s
Acceleration (a) =?
a = Δv / Δt
a = –15 / 3
a = –5 m/s²
Thus, the acceleration of the object is
–5 m/s².
