Answer:
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The radius is [tex]r = 1.4 \ mm = 1.4 *10^{-3} \ m[/tex]
The current is [tex]I = 4.5 \ A[/tex]
Generally the electric field is mathematically represented as
[tex]E = \frac{J}{\sigma }[/tex]
Where [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the conductivity of aluminum with value [tex]\sigma = 3.5 *10^{7} \ s/m[/tex]
J is the current density which mathematically represented as
[tex]J = \frac{I}{A}[/tex]
Here A is the cross-sectional area which is mathematically represented as
[tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex]
[tex]A = 3.142 * (1.4*10^{-3})^2[/tex]
[tex]A = 6.158*10^{-6} \ m^2[/tex]
So
[tex]J = \frac{ 4.5 }{6.158*10^{-6}}[/tex]
[tex]J = 730757 A/m^2[/tex]
So
[tex]E = \frac{ 730757}{3.5*10^{7} }[/tex]
[tex]E = 0.021 \ N/C[/tex]
Air bags greatly reduces the chance og injury in a car accident.explain how they do si in terms of energy transfer
Answer:
in an accident, when the body collides with the air bags, the collision time of impact between the two bodies will increase due to the presence of air bags in the car. Larger is the impact time smaller is the transformation of energy between the body and air bag. That is why air bags greatly reduce the chance of injury in a car accident.
How many turns of wire are needed in a circular coil 13 cmcm in diameter to produce an induced emf of 5.6 VV
Answer:
Number of turns of wire(N) = 3,036 turns (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Diameter = 13 Cm
emf = 5.6 v
Note:
The given question is incomplete, unknown information is as follow.
Magnetic field increases = 0.25 T in 1.8 (Second)
Find:
Number of turns of wire(N)
Computation:
radius (r) = 13 / 2 = 6.5 cm = 0.065 m

A 28.0 kg child plays on a swing having support ropes that are 2.30 m long. A friend pulls her back until the ropes are 45.0 ∘ from the vertical and releases her from rest.
A: What is the potential energy for the child just as she is released, compared with the potential energy at the bottom of the swing?
B: How fast will she be moving at the bottom of the swing?
C: How much work does the tension in the ropes do as the child swings from the initial position to the bottom?
Answer
A)184.9J
B)=3.63m/s
C) Zero
Explanation:
A)potential energy of the child at the initial position, measured relative the her potential energy at the bottom of the motion, is
U=Mgh
Where m=28kg
g= 9.8m/s
h= difference in height between the initial position and the bottom position
We are told that the rope is L = 2.30 m long and inclined at 45.0° from the vertical
h=L-Lcos(x)= L(1-cosx)=2.30(1-cos45)
=0.674m
Her Potential Energy will now
= 28× 9.8×0.674
=184.9J
B)we can see that at the bottom of the motion, all the initial potential energy of the child has been converted into kinetic energy:
E= 0.5mv^2
where
m = 28.0 kg is the mass of the child
v is the speed of the child at the bottom position
Solving the equation for v, we find
V=√2k/m
V=√(2×184.9/28
=3.63m/s
C)we can find work done by the tension in the rope is given using expresion below
W= Tdcosx
where W= work done
T is the tension
d = displacement of the child
x= angle between the directions of T and d
In this situation, we have that the tension in the rope, T, is always perpendicular to the displacement of the child, d. x= 90∘ and cos90∘=0 hence, the work done is zero.

(a) 3 times that of the Celsius and
(b) 1/5 times that of the Celsius
Answer:
C = 26.67° and F = 80°C = -20° and F = -4°Explanation:
Find:
3 times that of the Celsius and 1/5 times that of the CelsiusComputation:
F = (9/5)C + 32
3 times that of the Celsius
If C = x
So F = 3x
So,
3x = (9/5)x + 32
15x = 9x +160
6x = 160
x = 26.67
So, C = 26.67° and F = 80°
1/5 times that of the Celsius
If C = x
So F = x/5
So,
x/5 = (9/5)x + 32
x = 9x + 160
x = -20
So, C = -20° and F = -4°
The frequency of light emitted from hydrogen present in the Andromeda galaxy has been found to be 0.10% higher than that from hydrogen measured on Earth.
Is this galaxy approaching or receding from the Earth, and at what speed?
Answer:
3x10^5m/s
Explanation:
See attached file
Explanation:
The speed of the light emitted from the earth is approaching the galaxy at [tex]3\times 10^5\;\rm m/s[/tex].
Doppler's Effect
According to the Doppler effect, the difference between the frequency at which light wave leave a source and reaches an observer is caused by the relative motion of the observer and the wave source.
Given that the difference in the frequency is 0.10 %. The speed of light emitted from the galaxy can be calculated by the Doppler effect.
[tex]\dfrac {\Delta f}{f} = \dfrac {v}{c}[/tex]
Where f is the frequency of the light, v is the speed of light emitted from the galaxy and c is the speed of light emitted from the earth.
[tex]\dfrac {0.10 f}{100 f} = \dfrac {v}{3\times 10^8}[/tex]
[tex]v = 3\times 10^5\;\rm m/s[/tex]
Hence we can conclude that the speed of the light emitted from the earth is approaching the galaxy at [tex]3\times 10^5\;\rm m/s[/tex].

Proposed Exercises: Strength and Acceleration in Circular Movement In the situation illustrated below, a 7kg sphere is connected to a rope so that it can rotate in a vertical plane around an O axis perpendicular to the plane of the figure. When the sphere is in position A, it has a speed of 3m/s. Determine for this position the modulus of tension on the string and the rate at which the tangential velocity is increased.
Answer:
81 N
7.1 m/s²
Explanation:
Draw a free body diagram of the sphere. There are two forces:
Weight force mg pulling straight down,
and tension force T pulling up along the rope.
Sum of forces in the centripetal direction:
∑F = ma
T − mg sin 45° = m v² / r
T = m (g sin 45° + v² / r)
T = (7 kg) (10 m/s² sin 45° + (3 m/s)² / 2 m)
T = 81 N
Sum of forces in the tangential direction:
mg cos 45° = ma
a = g cos 45°
a = (10 m/s²) cos 45°
a = 7.1 m/s²
A pool ball moving 1.83 m/s strikes an identical ball at rest. Afterward, the first ball moves 1.15 m/s at a 23.3 degrees angle. What is the y-component of the velocity of the second ball?
Answer:
v_{1fy} = - 0.4549 m / s
Explanation:
This is an exercise of conservation of the momentum, for this we must define a system formed by the two balls, so that the forces during the collision have internal and the momentum is conserved
initial. Before the crash
p₀ = m v₁₀
final. After the crash
[tex]p_{f}[/tex] = m [tex]v_{1f}[/tex] + m v_{2f}
Recall that velocities are a vector so it has x and y components
p₀ = p_{f}
we write this equation for each axis
X axis
m v₁₀ = m v_{1fx} + m v_{2fx}
Y Axis
0 = -m v_{1fy} + m v_{2fy}
the exercise tells us the initial velocity v₁₀ = 1.83 m / s, the final velocity v_{2f} = 1.15, let's use trigonometry to find its components
sin 23.3 = v_{2fy} / v_{2f}
cos 23.3 = v_{2fx} / v_{2f}
v_{2fy} = v_{2f} sin 23.3
v_{2fx} = v_{2f} cos 23.3
we substitute in the momentum conservation equation
m v₁₀ = m v_{1f} cos θ + m v_{2f} cos 23.3
0 = - m v_{1f} sin θ + m v_{2f} sin 23.3
1.83 = v_{1f} cos θ + 1.15 cos 23.3
0 = - v_{1f} sin θ + 1.15 sin 23.3
1.83 = v_{1f} cos θ + 1.0562
0 = - v_{1f} sin θ + 0.4549
v_{1f} sin θ = 0.4549
v_{1f} cos θ = -0.7738
we divide these two equations
tan θ = - 0.5878
θ = tan-1 (-0.5878)
θ = -30.45º
we substitute in one of the two and find the final velocity of the incident ball
v_{1f} cos (-30.45) = - 0.7738
v_{1f} = -0.7738 / cos 30.45
v_{1f} = -0.8976 m / s
the component and this speed is
v_{1fy} = v1f sin θ
v_{1fy} = 0.8976 sin (30.45)
v_{1fy} = - 0.4549 m / s

Which unbalanced force accounts for the direction of the net force of the rocket?
a. Air resistance
b. Friction
c. Gravity
d. Thrust of rocket engine
It depends on what stage of the mission you're talking about.
==> While it's sitting on the pad before launch, the forces on the rocket are balanced, so there's no net force on it.
==> When the engines ignite, their thrust (d) is greater than the force of gravity. So the net force on the rocket is upward, and the spacecraft accelerates upward.
==> After the engines shut down, the net force acting on the rocket is due to Gravity (c).
. . . If the rocket has enough vertical speed, it escapes the Earth completely, and just keeps going.
. . . If it has enough horizontal speed, it enters Earth orbit.
. . . If it doesn't have enough vertical or horizontal speed, it falls back to Earth.
A rocket will preserve to speed up so long as there's a resultant pressure upwards resulting from the thrust of the rocket engine.
What unbalanced force bills for the course of the internet pressure of the rocket?A rocket launches whilst the pressure of thrust pushing it upwards is greater than the burden force because of gravity downwards. This unbalanced pressure reasons a rocket to accelerate upwards. A rocket will maintain to hurry up so long as there's a resultant force upwards resulting from the thrust of the rocket engine.
What's the net pressure of unbalanced?
If the forces on an item are balanced, the net pressure is zero. If the forces are unbalanced forces, the results do not cancel each difference. Any time the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, the net pressure is not 0, and the movement of the item modifications.

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by the following formula:
C = ε₀A/d
where,
C = Capacitance
ε₀ = Permeability of free space
A = Area of plates
d = Distance between plates
FOR CAPACITOR A:
C = CA = 17.8 nF = 17.8 x 10⁻⁹ F
A = A₁

Explanation:
A radar installation operates at 9000 MHz with an antenna (dish) that is 15 meters across. Determine the maximum distance (in kilometers) for which this system can distinguish two aircraft 100 meters apart.
Answer:
R = 36.885 km
Explanation:
In order to distinguish the two planes we must use the Rayleigh criterion that establishes two distinguishable objects if in their diffraction the central maximum of one coincides with the first minimum of the other
The diffraction equation for slits is
a sin θ = m λ
the first minimum occurs for m = 1
sin θ = λ a
as the diffraction experiments the angles are very small, we approximate
sin θ = θ
θ = λ / a
This expression is for a slit, in the case of circular objects, when solving the system in polar coordinates, a numerical constant appears, leaving the expression of the form
θ = 1.22 λ / a
In this problem they give us the frequency, let's find the wavelength with the relation
c = λ f
λ = c / f
θ = 1.22 c/ f a
since they ask us for the distance between the planes, we can use the definition of radians
θ = s / R
if we assume that the distance is large, we can approximate the arc to the horizontal distance
s = x
we substitute
x / R = 1.22 c / fa
R = x f a / 1.22c
Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system
f = 9000 MHz = 9 109 Hz
a = 15 m
x = 100 m
let's calculate
R = 100 10⁹ 15 / (1.22 3 108)
R = 3.6885 10⁴ m
let's reduce to km
R = 3.6885 10¹ km
R = 36.885 km
