Answer:

He is testing for voltage drop (voltage drop test)

Explanation:

Connecting the red lead of a voltmeter to the B+ output to an ac generator and black lead to a battery +ve terminal measures the voltage drop in the circuit when the engine is turned ON and all electrical accessories too.

with this he knows if the alternator is charging the battery.

a conducting rod whose length is 25 cm is placed on a u-shaped metal wire that has a resistance of 8.0 ω . the wire and the rod

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The current is $I = 1 A$

The direction is anti-clockwise

Explanation:

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

From the question we are told that

the length of the conducting rod is $L = 25 \ cm = \frac{25}{100} = 2.5 \ m$

The resistance is $R = 8 \Omega$

The magnetic field is $B = 0.40\ T$

The speed of the rod is $v = 6.0 m/s$

The emf induced is

$\epsilon = BLv$

substituting values we have

$\epsilon = 0.40 * 2.5 * 8$

$\epsilon = 8V$

From ohm law the induced current would be

$I = \frac{\epsilon}{R }$

substituting values we have

$I = \frac{8}{8 }$

$I = 1 A$

The direction anticlockwise this because according to lenze law the current due to change in magnetic field will act in the opposite direction of the force causing the magnetic field to change

In 2000, NASA placed a satellite in orbit around an asteroid. Consider a spherical asteroid with a mass of 1.40×1016 kg and a ra

Arturiano [62]

A) 8.11 m/s

For a satellite orbiting around an asteroid, the centripetal force is provided by the gravitational attraction between the satellite and the asteroid:

$m\frac{v^2}{(R+h)}=\frac{GMm}{(R+h)^2}$

where

m is the satellite's mass

v is the speed

R is the radius of the asteroide

h is the altitude of the satellite

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the asteroid

Solving the equation for v, we find

$v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R+h}}$

where:

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}$

$M=1.40\cdot 10^{16}kg$

$R=8.20 km=8200 m$

$h=6.00 km = 6000 m$

Substituting into the formula,

$v=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(1.40\cdot 10^{16}kg)}{8200 m+6000 m}}=8.11 m/s$

B) 11.47 m/s

The escape speed of an object from the surface of a planet/asteroid is given by

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R+h}}$

where:

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}$

$M=1.40\cdot 10^{16}kg$

$R=8.20 km=8200 m$

$h=6.00 km = 6000 m$

Substituting into the formula, we find:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(1.40\cdot 10^{16}kg)}{8200 m+6000 m}}=11.47 m/s$

The quantum state of a particle can be specified by giving a complete set of quantum numbers (n,l, ml, ms). How many different q

Delvig [45]

Answer:

number of quantum states = 8

Explanation:

To find the total number of allowed states you take into account the following relations:

$l=n-1\\\\m_l=-l,-(l-1),...,0,,,,(l-1),l$

in this case you have:

$n=2\\\\l=0,1\\\\m_0=0\\\\m_1=-1,0,1$

furthermore, for each n,l,ml quantum state you have two additional states due to the spin of the electrons.

then, you have (n,l,ml) = (2,0,0), (2,1,-1), (2,1,0), (2,1,1) and with the spin:

number of quantum states = 2*(1+3) = 8

Copper has a specific heat of 387 J/kg°C. A copper bullet is moving at 950 m/s. If the bullet is suddenly stopped so that all of

Alla [95]

Answer:

1196.02 °C

Explanation:

If the kinetic energy is converted into heat,

then,

Kinetic energy of the copper = heat energy of the copper

1/2m(v²) = cm(t₂-t₁)

where m = mass of copper, v = velocity of copper, c = specific heat capacity of copper, t₂ = final temperature of copper, t₁ = initial temperature of copper.

Since the mass of copper remains the same,

1/2v² = c(t₂-t₁)

make t₂ the subject of the equation

t₂ = 1/2(v²/c)+t₁..................... Equation 1

Given: v = 950 m/s, c = 387 J/kg°C, t₁ 30 °C

Substitute into equation 1

t₂ = 1/2(950²/387)+30

t₂ = 1196.02 °C

Hence the temperature the bullet reach before it was stopped = 1196.02 °C
