Cindy saw her mother heating a wet pan on the stove. As the pan got hotter, the water on the outside began to dry. Why?

Answer:

As the temperature of materials increase, the objects find a phenomenon called change of phase.

This means that if you give enough heat to a liquid, this can change of state from liquid state to gas state (the water evaporates)

So the water in the pan reaches the evaporation temperature (around 100°C) and it starts to evaporate, this is why the water on the outside begins to "dry"

An aluminum wire having a cross-sectional area equal to 3.90 10-6 m2 carries a current of 6.00 A. The density of aluminum is 2.7

stich3 [128]

Answer:

Vd = 1.597 ×10⁻⁴ m/s

Explanation:

Given: A = 3.90×10⁻⁶ m², I = 6.00 A, ρ = 2.70 g/cm³

To find:

Drift Velocity Vd=?

Solution:

the formula is Vd = I/nqA (n is the number of charge per unit volume)

n = No. of electron in a mole ( Avogadro's No.) / Volume

Volume = Molar mass / density ( molar mass of Al =27 g)

V = 27 g / 2.70 g/cm³ = 10 cm³ = 1 × 10 ⁻⁵ m³

n= (6.02 × 10 ²³) / (1 × 10 ⁻⁵ m³)

n= 6.02 × 10 ²⁸

Now

Vd = (6A) / ( 6.02 × 10 ²⁸ × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × 3.9×10⁻⁶ m²)

Vd = 1.597 ×10⁻⁴ m/s

Ask Your Teacher Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers throws a perfect football spiral at 6.9 rev/s. The radius of a pro football

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

$a=159.32\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Angular speed of the football spiral, $\omega=6.9\ rev/s=43.35\ rad/s$

Radius of a pro football, r = 8.5 cm = 0.085 m

The velocity is given by :

$v=r\omega$

$v=0.085\times 43.35$

v = 3.68 m/s

The centripetal acceleration is given by :

$a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}$

$a=\dfrac{(3.68)^2}{0.085}$

$a=159.32\ m/s^2$

So, the centripetal acceleration of the laces on the football is $159.32\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the direction of the field halfway between two horizontal parallel wires if the top wire has a current of 4 A to the lef

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

A) Out of the page.

Explanation:

Right-hand rule points the direction of the magnetic field at any point.

<u>Top wire</u>: Current is to the left. Point your thumb to the left and curl your other fingers around the wire. The tips of the four fingers points the direction of the field at that point. In this case, out of the page.

<u>Bottom wire</u>: Current is to the right. Point your thumb to the right and curl your other fingers around the wire. The tips of the four finger points out of the page again.

So, the total field produced by both wires is directed out of the page.

Another method to figure out the direction is the mathematical method.

Use the B-field formula:

$d\vec{B} = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\frac{Id\vec{l}\times \^r}{r^2}$

The cross product between the direction of the current and the target position gives the direction of the B-field. If the left is -x direction and downwards is the -y direction, then

$(-\^x) \times (-\^y) = +\^z$ for the top wire.
