Why does a compass give unreliable readings when used near electrical appliances

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the compass uses a magnetic field, if anything else magnetic is near it, the compass will start acting up. Making it unreliable so keep magnets away!

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?

Answers

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

You have three identical metallic spheres, A, B and C, fixed to isolating pedestals. They all start off uncharged. You then charge sphere A to +32.0 uC. You use rubber gloves to move sphere A so that it briefly touches sphere B, and then is separated. Next, sphere A briefly touches sphere C, and again is separated. Finally, sphere A touches sphere B a second time, and is again separated. What will be the final charge of sphere B?

Answers

Answer:

Charge on B is 12 uC.

Explanation:

Initial charge on A = 32 uC

Initial charge on B and C = 0

Now A touches to B, so the charge on A and B both is

q = (32 + 0) / 2 = 16 uC

Now A touches to C, so the charge on A and C both is

q' = (16 + 0) / 2 = 8 uC

Now again A touches to B so the charge on B is

q''= (8 + 16) / 2 = 12 uC  

Turning a corner at a typical large intersection in a city means driving your car through a circular arc with a radius of about 25 m. if the maximum advisable acceleration of your vehicle through a turn on wet pavement is 0.40 times the free-fall acceleration, what is the maximum speed at which you should drive through this turn?

Answers

Answer:

9.89 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of the circular arc, r = 25 m

The acceleration of the vehicle is 0.40 times the free-fall acceleration i.e.,a = 0.4(9.8) = 3.92 m/s²

Let v is the maximum speed at which you should drive through this turn. It can be solved as follows :

[tex]a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}\\\\v=\sqrt{ar} \\\\v=\sqrt{3.92\times 25} \\\\=9.89 m/s[/tex]

So, the maximum speed of the car should be 9.89 m/s.

Khi cân bằng, dây treo quả cầu hợp với mặt phẳng 1 góc bằng bao nhiêu?

Answers

Answer:

The angle is 16 degree.  

Explanation:

A uniformly charged infinite plane, density σ = 4.10-9 C/cm2, is placed vertically in air. A small ball of mass 8 g, with charge q = 10-8 C, hangs close to the plane, so that the string is initially parallel to the plane. Take g = 9.8m/s2 . In equilibrium, by what angle does the string hanging from the ball make an angle with the plane?

Surface charge density, σ = 4 x 10^-5 C/m^2

charge, q = 10^-8 C

mass, m = 0.008 kg

The electric field due to the plate is

[tex]E= \frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon 0}[/tex]

Let the angle make with the vertical is A and T is the tension in the string.

[tex]T sin A = q E....(1)\\\\T cos A = m g .... (2)\\\\Divie (1) by (2)\\\\tan A =\frac{q E}{m g}\\\\tan A = \frac{10^{-8}\times 4\times 10^{-5}}{2\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 0.008\times9.8}\\\\tan A = 0.288\\\\A = 16 degree\\[/tex]

A single-turn square loop of wire, 2.00 cm on each edge, carries a clockwise current of 0.240 A. The loop is inside a solenoid, with the plane of the loop perpendicular to the magnetic field of the solenoid. The solenoid has 30.0 turns/cm and carries a clockwise current of 15.0 A. Find:

a. the force on each side of the loop
b. the torque acting on the loop.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Magnetic field inside solenoid B = μ₀ NI ,

μ₀ = 4π x 10⁻⁷ ; N is no of turns per meter length in solenoid and I is current B=  4π x 10⁻⁷ x 30 x 10² x 15

= .0565 T .

Force on each side of square loop = B i L

B is external magnetic field , i is current in loop and L is length of side

Force on each side of square loop = .0565 x .24 x 2 x 10⁻²

= 2.7 x 10⁻⁴ N .

b )

Torque on the loop =  F x d

F is force on one side , d is distance between two sides , that is side of the square loop

= 2.7 x 10⁻⁴ x 2 x 10⁻² N.m

= 5.4  x 10⁻⁶ N.m .

Answer:

The work done by the spring is 2.025 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass on the spring, m = 0.5 kg

spring constant, k = 5 N/m

extension of the spring, x = 0.9 m

The work done by the spring is calculated as;

[tex]W = \frac{1}{2} kx^2\\\\W = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times (0.9)^2\\\\W = 2.025 \ J[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

[tex]m_1 = 10g[/tex]

[tex]d_1 = 45cm[/tex]

[tex]m_2 = 25g[/tex]

Required

Distance of m2 from the pivot

To do this, we make use of:

So, we have:

[tex]10 * 45= 25* d_2[/tex]

[tex]450= 25* d_2[/tex]

[tex]18= d_2[/tex]

Hence:

0. The temperature of source is 500K with source energy 2003, what is the temperature of sink with sink energy 100 J? a. 500 K b. 300 K c. 250 K d. 125 K​

Answers

Answer:

c. 250k

Explanation:

The temperature of the sink is approximately 250 K.

To find the temperature of the sink, we can use the formula for the efficiency of a heat engine:

Efficiency = 1 - (Temperature of Sink / Temperature of Source)

Given that the temperature of the source (T_source) is 500 K and the source energy (Q_source) is 2003 J, and the sink energy (Q_sink) is 100 J, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the temperature of the sink (T_sink):

Efficiency = (Q_source - Q_sink) / Q_source

Efficiency = (2003 J - 100 J) / 2003 J

Efficiency = 1903 J / 2003 J

Efficiency = 0.9497

Now, plug the efficiency back into the first equation to solve for T_sink:

0.9497 = 1 - (T_sink / 500 K)

T_sink / 500 K = 1 - 0.9497

T_sink / 500 K = 0.0503

Now, isolate T_sink:

T_sink = 0.0503 * 500 K

T_sink = 25.15 K

Since the temperature should be in Kelvin, we round down to the nearest whole number, which is 25 K. Thus, the temperature of the sink is approximately 250 K.

So, the ratio of frequency of second wave to the first wave is

[tex]\frac{f_2}{f_1} =\frac{\lambda _1}{\lambda _2}\\\\\frac{f_2}{f_1} =\frac{\lambda _1}{2\lambda _1}\\\\\frac{f_2}{f_1} =\frac{1}{2}\\\\[/tex]
