An emf is induced in a conducting loop of wire 1.22 m long as its shape is changed from square to circular. Find the average mag
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

The induced emf in the loop is 7.35\times 10^{-4}\ V

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the wire, L = 1.22 m

It changes its shape is changed from square to circular. Then the side of square be its circumference, 4a = L

4a = 1.22

a = 0.305 m

Area of square, A=a^2=(0.305)^2=0.0930\ m^2

Circumference of the loop,

C=2\pi r=L\\\\r=\dfrac{L}{2\pi}\\\\r=\dfrac{1.22}{2\pi}=0.194\ m

Area of circle,

A'=\pi r^2\\A'=\pi (0.194)^2\\\\A'=0.118\ m^2

The induced emf is given by :

\epsilon=\dfrac{\d\phi}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=\dfrac{\d(BA)}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=B\dfrac{A'-A}{t}\\\\\epsilon=0.125 \times \dfrac{0.118-0.0930}{4.25}\\\\\epsilon=7.35\times 10^{-4}\ V

So, the induced emf in the loop is 7.35\times 10^{-4}\ V

A merry-go-round with a rotational inertia of 600 kg m2 and a radius of 3. 0 m is initially at rest. A 20 kg boy approaches the
Margaret [11]

Hi there!

\boxed{\omega = 0.38 rad/sec}

We can use the conservation of angular momentum to solve.

\large\boxed{L_i = L_f}

Recall the equation for angular momentum:

L = I\omega

We can begin by writing out the scenario as a conservation of angular momentum:

I_m\omega_m + I_b\omega_b = \omega_f(I_m + I_b)

I_m = moment of inertia of the merry-go-round (kgm²)

\omega_m = angular velocity of merry go round (rad/sec)

\omega_f = final angular velocity of COMBINED objects (rad/sec)

I_b = moment of inertia of boy (kgm²)

\omega_b= angular velocity of the boy (rad/sec)

The only value not explicitly given is the moment of inertia of the boy.

Since he stands along the edge of the merry go round:

I = MR^2

We are given that he jumps on the merry-go-round at a speed of 5 m/s. Use the following relation:

\omega = \frac{v}{r}

L_b = MR^2(\frac{v}{R}) = MRv

Plug in the given values:

L_b = (20)(3)(5) = 300 kgm^2/s

Now, we must solve for the boy's moment of inertia:

I = MR^2\\I = 20(3^2) = 180 kgm^2

Use the above equation for conservation of momentum:

600(0) + 300 = \omega_f(180 + 600)\\\\300 = 780\omega_f\\\\\omega = \boxed{0.38 rad/sec}

Two pieces of amber are hung from threads. Piece A is charged by rubbing piece A with fur. Piece B is charged by rubbing piece B
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

ieces A and B must also have the same type of charges

Explanation:

In electrostatics, charges of the same sign repel and charges of different signs attract.

If we apply this to our case, we have that part A and C repel each other, therefore they have the same type of charge.

Also part A and C repel each other, therefore they have the same type of charge.

If we use the transitive property of mathematics, pieces A and B must also have the same type of charges
