Here is your answer

$5 watts$

REASON :

Given,

t= 20 secs

F= 20 N

s (displacement)= 5m

Now,

Power= \frac{Work done}{time}

P= W/t ...... (i)

W= F×s×cos(theta)

W= 20×5 × 1 (theta is 0 degree; so cos0= 1)

W= 100 J

Hence,

P= 100/20 (from eq. i)

P= 5 watts

Calculate the density of mercury if 500 cm3

notka56 [123]

Answer:

The density of the mercury is 13.2 g/cm³

Explanation:

Density is a measurement that compares the amount of matter an object

has to its volume

Density is equal to mass divided by volume

We need to find the density of mercury if 500 cm³ has a mass of

6.60 kg in g/cm

We must to change The kilogram to grams

The mass of mercury is 6.60 kilograms

1 kilogram = 1000 grams

6.60 kilograms = 6.60 × 1000 = 6600 grams

Density = mass ÷ volume

The volume of the mercury is 500 cm³

The density = 6600 ÷ 500

The density = 13.2 g/cm³

<em>The density of the mercury is 13.2 g/cm³ </em>

Denise is conducting a physics experiment to measure the acceleration of a falling object when it slows down and comes to a stop

iren [92.7K]

We need a and we have m and F . Now a = f÷m so therefore a = 4,9 ÷ 0,5 which is 0,98 metres per cubic second

Calculate the mag-netic field (magnitude and direc-tion) at a point p due to a current i=12.0 a in the wire shown in fig. p28.68

creativ13 [48]

Complete Question

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The magnitude is $B= 4.2 *10^ {-6}T$ , the direction is into the page

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The current is $i = 12.0 A$

The radius of arc bc is $r_{bc} = 30.0 \ cm =\frac{30}{100} = 0.3m$

The radius of arc da is $r_{da} = 20.0 \ cm = \frac{20}{100} = 0.20 \ m$

The length of segment cd and ab is = $l = 10cm = \frac{10}{100} = 0.10 m$

The objective of the solution is to obtain the magnetic field

Generally magnetic due to the current flowing in the arc is mathematically represented as

$B = \frac{\mu_o I}{4 \pi r}$

Here I is the current

$\mu_o$ is the permeability of free space with a value of $4\pi *10^{-7}T \cdot m/A$

r is the distance

Considering Arc da

$B_{da} = \frac{\mu_o I}{4 \pi r_{da}} \theta$

Where $\theta$ is the angle the arc da makes with the center from the diagram its value is $\theta = 120^o = 120^o * \frac{\pi}{180} = \frac{2\pi}{3} rad$

Now substituting values into formula for magnetic field for da

$B_{da} = \frac{4\p *10^{-7} * 12}{4 \pi (0.20)}[\frac{2 \pi}{3} ]$

$= \frac{10^{-7} * 12}{0.20} * [\frac{2 \pi}{3} ]$

$B_{da}= 12.56*10^{-6} T$

Looking at the diagram to obtain the direction of the current and using right hand rule then we would obtain the the direction of magnetic field due to da is into the pages of the paper

Considering Arc bc

$B_{bc} = \frac{\mu_o I}{4 \pi r_{bc}} \theta$

Substituting value

$B_{bc} = \frac{4 \pi *10^{-7} * 12}{4 \pi (0.30)} [\frac{2 \pi}{3} ]$

$B_{bc}= 8.37*10^{-6}T$

Looking at the diagram to obtain the direction of the current and using right hand rule then we would obtain the the direction of magnetic field due to bc is out of the pages of the paper

Since the line joining P to segment bc and da makes angle = 0°

Then the net magnetic field would be

$B = B_{da} - B{bc}$

$= 12.56*10^{-6} - 8.37*10^{-6}$

$= 4.2 *10^ {-6}T$

Since $B_{da} > B_{bc}$ then the direction of the net charge would be into the page

What is the initial velocity of the object represented by the graph? ___m/s Graph:

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

On a velocity-time graph… slope is acceleration. the "y" intercept is the initial velocity. when two curves coincide, the two objects have the same velocity at that time.
