The person's velocity relative to the shore is determined as 6.5 m/s.

<h3>Velocity of the person</h3>

The velocity of the person is calculated as follows;

V(p/f) = V(p) - V(f)

where;

  • V(p/f) is the velocity of the person relative to the ferry
  • V(p) is the velocity of the person
  • V(f) is velocity of the ferry

1.5 = V(p) - 5

V(p) = 6.5 m/s

Thus, the person's velocity relative to the shore is determined as 6.5 m/s.

What is the easiest way to increase the magnetic force acting on the rotor in an induction motor?
Schach [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnets are of two major forms namely the permanent magnet and the temporary magnets. Temporary magnets magnetizes and demagnetize easily while permanent magnets does not magnetizes and demagnetize easily.

This permanents magnets are applicable in loudspeakers, generators, induction motor etc.

To increase the

The following will tend to increase the magnetic force acting on the rotor in an induction motor.

1. Increasing the strength of the bar magnet. Increase in strength of the magnet will lead to increase in the magnetic force acting on the rotor.

2. Increase in the magnetic line of force also known as the magnetic flux around the magnet will also increase the magnetic force acting on the rotor.

A circuit is constructed with six resistors and two batteries as shown. the battery voltages are v1 = 18 v and v2 = 12 v. the po
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

V4=9.197v

Explanation:

Given:

V1= 18v ,V2= 12v ,r1=r5=58ohms ,r2=r6=124ohms , r3=47ohms ,r4= 125ohms

V4= I4R4 = V2/(R4 + R5)×R4

V4= 12×125 /(125 + 58)

V4=1500/183 =9.197v

How light is channelled down an optical fibre
coldgirl [10]

Explanation:

Suppose you want to shine a flashlight beam down a long, straight hallway. Just point the beam straight down the hallway -- light travels in straight lines, so it is no problem. What if the hallway has a bend in it? You could place a mirror at the bend to reflect the light beam around the corner. What if the hallway is very winding with multiple bends? You might line the walls with mirrors and angle the beam so that it bounces from side-to-side all along the hallway. This is exactly what happens in an optical fiber.

The light in a fiber-optic cable travels through the core (hallway) by constantly bouncing from the cladding (mirror-lined walls), a principle called total internal reflection. Because the cladding does not absorb any light from the core, the light wave can travel great distances.

However, some of the light signal degrades within the fiber, mostly due to impurities in the glass. The extent that the signal degrades depends on the purity of the glass and the wavelength of the transmitted light (for example, 850 nm = 60 to 75 percent/km; 1,300 nm = 50 to 60 percent/km; 1,550 nm is greater than 50 percent/km). Some premium optical fibers show much less signal degradation -- less than 10 percent/km at 1,550 nm.
