The y-intercept of a position-time graph of an object gives the average velocity of the object is False.

Answer: False. 

Explanation:

The initial position of the object can be obtained by calculating the Y intercept of a position-time graph. In a position-time graph, the independent variable is time and dependent variable is position. Y axis is the position axis and x axis is the time axis.

The equation of the graph is given by $y =mx + c$ . m is the slope of the graph and c is the y intercept. When a particle starts from the origin its y intercept is zero.

The nature of the graph gives us an idea about velocity. When the velocity is positive, the position- time graph has positive slope and when the velocity is positive the graph has negative slope.

A closely wound, circular coil with radius 2.50 cmcm has 740 turns. Part A What must the current in the coil be if the magnetic

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The current in the coil is 4.086 A

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circular coil, R = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m

number of turns of the circular coil, N = 740 turns

magnetic field at the center of the coil, B = 0.076 T

The magnetic field at the center of the coil is given by;

$B = \frac{N\mu_o I}{2R}$

where;

μ₀ is permeability of free space = 4 x 10⁻⁷ m/A

I is the current in the coil

R is radius of the coil

N is the number of turns of the coil

The current in the circular coil is given by

$B = \frac{N\mu_o I}{2R} \\\\I = \frac{2BR}{N\mu_o} \\\\I =\frac{2*0.076*0.025}{740*4\pi*10^{-7}} \\\\I = 4.086 \ A$

Therefore, the current in the coil is 4.086 A

Answer:

$-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C$

$3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}\ C$

$1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C$

$1.6351501669\times 10^{-9}\ C$

Explanation:

r = Radius

k = Coulomb constant = $8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

Electric field is given by

$E=-\dfrac{kq}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow q=-\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow q=-\dfrac{1610\times 0.1^2}{8.99\times 10^9}\\\Rightarrow q=-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C$

The charge is $-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C$

$Q+q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}-q\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{120\times 0.35^2}{8.99\times 10^9}-(-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9})\\\Rightarrow Q=3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}\ C$

The charge is $3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}\ C$

The charge inside will have the polarity changed

$q=+1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C$

Outside the charge will be

$3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\\ =1.6351501669\times 10^{-9}\ C$

Summarize: Based on what you have learned, how will the sound that the observer hears

Reil [10]

Answer: The sound will change due to changes in frequency and the wavelength of the airplane.

Explanation: Let assume that the observer is at a stationary position. The wavelength of the sound from the airplane reduces and the frequency increases as the plane is moving toward the observer. As the airplane passes by, that is, moving away from the observer, the frequency starts to reduce while the wavelength of the sound starts to increase.

The sound that the observer hears will change base on the illustration above.
