The sun’s gravitational attraction and the planet’s inertia keeps planets moving is circular orbits.

Explanation:

The planets in the Solar System move around the Sun in a circular orbit. This motion can be explained as a combination of two effects:

1) The gravitational attraction of the Sun. The Sun exerts a force of gravitational attraction on every planet. This force is directed towards the Sun, and its magnitude is

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the Sun

m is the mass of the planet

r is the distance between the Sun and the planet

This force acts as centripetal force, continuously "pulling" the planet towards the centre of its circular orbit.

2) The inertia of the planet. In fact, according to Newton's first law, an object in motion at constant velocity will continue moving at its velocity, unless acted upon an external unbalanced force. Therefore, the planet tends to continue its motion in a straight line (tangential to the circular orbit), however it turns in a circle due to the presence of the gravitational attraction of the Sun.

A 100-turn, 3.0-cm-diameter coil is at rest in a horizontal plane. A uniform magnetic field 60%u2218 away from vertical increase
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Induced emf in the coil, E = 0.157 volts

Explanation:

It is given that,

Number of turns, N = 100

Diameter of the coil, d = 3 cm = 0.03 m

Radius of the coil, r = 0.015 m

A uniform magnetic field increases from 0.5 T to 2.5 T in 0.9 s.

Due to this change in magnetic field, an emf is induced in the coil which is given by :

E=-NA\dfrac{\Delta B}{\Delta t}

E=-100\times \pi (0.015)^2\times \dfrac{2.5-0.5}{0.9}

E = -0.157 volts

Minus sign shows the direction of induced emf in the coil. Hence, the induced emf in the coil is 0.157 volts.

Please help on this one?
kupik [55]

Answer: A)30V. First find the current of the circuit. I=V/R(total resistance). So I=60/120=0.5. Now to find voltage drop in R3 use ohms law as given. V(of 3)=(0.5)(60)=30V
