Answer to Problem 1Q

The law of conservation of energy is used when there is no non-conservative force on the system, the law of conservation of linear momentum is used when there is only internal force which does not affect the system and the law of conservation of angular momentum is used when there is no external torque on the system.

Explanation of Solution

The law of conservation of energy explains that energy never is created nor destroyed. It only changes from one form to other form of energy. The law of conservation of energy is used when there is no non-conservative force on the system. Non-conservative force is dispersing forces like friction or air resistance, which take away energy from the system.

The law of conservation of linear momentum explains that the momentum of the system is conserved when there is no external force is applied to the system. This law of conservation of linear momentum is applicable when there is only internal force which does not affect the system.

The law of conservation of angular momentum explains that the angular momentum of the system is conserved when the external torque is not applied to the system. This law of conservation of angular momentum is applicable when there is no external torque on the system.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the law of conservation of energy is used when there is no non-conservative force on the system, the law of conservation of linear momentum is used when there is only internal force which does not affect the system and the law of conservation of angular momentum is used when there is no external torque on the system.

When current is flowing through the coil, the direction of the torque can be thought of in two ways. Either as the result of the forces on current carrying wires, or as a magnetic dipole moment trying to line up with an external field (e.g. like a compass). Note: the magnetic moment of a coil points in the direction of the coil's magnetic field at the center of the coil. d) Forces: We can consider the left-most piece of the loop (labeled ○) as a short segment of straight wire carrying current directly out of the page at us. Similarly, we can consider the right-most piece of the loop (labeled ) as a short segment straight wire carrying current directly into the page, away from us. Add to the picture below the two forces due to the external magnetic field acting on these two segments. Then describe how these two forces give a torque and determine if the torque acts to rotate the loop clockwise or counterclockwise according to this picture? B

If the mass of substance (1 kg), initial temperature (125˚C), the final temperature (175˚C) and the total volume of a closed container (1 m3) remains constant in two experiments, but one experiment is done with water ( ) and the other is done with nitrogen ( ). What is the difference in the change in pressure between water and nitrogen?
