Voltmeter is used to find the potential difference between two points.

We always connect it in parallel to the points where we need the potential difference.

Here in order to make the reading accurate we can increase the resistance of voltmeter so that it can not withdraw any current from the circuit.

Name human body organs where magnetism is significant

ser-zykov [4K]

It has been hypothesized, and some studies have supported the conjecture,
that certain species of insects and birds are able to sense the direction of external
magnetic fields.

I don't think there is any such notion where human beings are concerned.

A long thin uniform rod of length 1.50 m is to be suspended from a frictionless pivot located at some point along the rod so tha

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

0.087 m

Explanation:

Length of the rod, L = 1.5 m

Let the mass of the rod is m and d is the distance between the pivot point and the centre of mass.

time period, T = 3 s

the formula for the time period of the pendulum is given by

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{mgd}}$ .... (1)

where, I is the moment of inertia of the rod about the pivot point and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Moment of inertia of the rod about the centre of mass, Ic = mL²/12

By using the parallel axis theorem, the moment of inertia of the rod about the pivot is

I = Ic + md²

$I = \frac{mL^{2}}{12}+ md^{2}$

Substituting the values in equation (1)

$3 = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\frac{mL^{2}}{12}+ md^{2}}{mgd}}$

$9=4\pi^{2}\times \left ( \frac{\frac{L^{2}}{12}+d^{2}}{gd} \right )$

12d² -26.84 d + 2.25 = 0

$d=\frac{26.84\pm \sqrt{26.84^{2}-4\times 12\times 2.25}}{24}$

$d=\frac{26.84\pm 24.75}{24}$

d = 2.15 m , 0.087 m

d cannot be more than L/2, so the value of d is 0.087 m.

Thus, the distance between the pivot and the centre of mass of the rod is 0.087 m.

During an experiment of momentum, trolley, X, of mass (2.34 ± 0.01) kg is moving away from another trolley, Y, of mass (2.561 ±

Alla [95]

Answer:

P = 1 (14,045 ± 0.03 ) k gm/s

Explanation:

In this exercise we are asked about the uncertainty of the momentum of the two carriages

Δ (Pₓ / Py) =?

Let's start by finding the momentum of each vehicle

car X

Pₓ = m vₓ

Pₓ = 2.34 2.5

Pₓ = 5.85 kg m

car Y

Py = 2,561 3.2

Py = 8,195 kgm

How do we calculate the absolute uncertainty at the two moments?

ΔPₓ = m Δv + v Δm

ΔPₓ = 2.34 0.01 + 2.561 0.01

ΔPₓ = 0.05 kg m

Δ $P_{y}$ = m Δv + v Δm

ΔP_{y} = 2,561 0.01+ 3.2 0.001

ΔP_{y} = 0.03 kg m

now we have the uncertainty of each moment

P = Pₓ / $P_{y}$

ΔP = ΔPₓ/P_{y} + Pₓ ΔP_{y} / P_{y}²

ΔP = 8,195 0.05 + 5.85 0.03 / 8,195²

ΔP = 0.006 + 0.0026

ΔP = 0.009 kg m

The result is

P = 14,045 ± 0.039 = (14,045 ± 0.03 ) k gm/s

Three point charges are arranged along the x axis. Charge q1=-4.00nC is located at x= .250 m and q2= 2.40 nC is at the x= -.300m

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

q₃=5.3nC

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the force exerted by the charges q₁ and q₂. To do this, we use the Coulomb's Law:

$F= k\frac{|q_aq_b|}{r^{2} } \\\\\\F_{13}=(9*10^{9} Nm^{2} /C^{2} )\frac{|(-4.00*10^{-9}C)q_3|}{(.250m)^{2} } =576q_3N/C\\\\F_{23}=(9*10^{9} Nm^{2} /C^{2} )\frac{|(2.40*10^{-9}C)q_3|}{(.300m)^{2} } =240q_3N/C\\$

Since we know the net force, we can use this to calculate q₃. As q₁ is at the right side of q₃ and q₁ and q₃ have opposite signs, the force F₁₃ points to the right. In a similar way, as q₂ is at the left side of q₃, and q₂ and q₃ have equal signs, the force F₂₃ points to the right. That means that the resultant net force is the sum of these two forces:

$F_{Net}=F_{13}+F_{23}\\\\4.40*10^{-9} N=576q_3N/C+240q_3N/C\\\\4.40*10^{-6} N=816q_3N/C\\\\\implies q_3=5.3*10^{-9}C=5.3nC$

In words, the value of q₃ must be 5.3nC.
