A bar magnet is dropped from above and falls through the loop of wire. The north pole of the bar magnet points downward towards

the page as it falls. Which statement is correct?a. The current in the loop always flows in a clockwise direction. b·The current in the loop always flows in a counterclockwise direction. c. The current in the loop flows first in a clockwise, then in a counterclockwise direction. d. The current in the loop flows first in a counterclockwise, then in a clockwise direction. e. No current flows in the loop because both ends of the magnet move through the loop.

Answer:

<em>b. The current in the loop always flows in a counterclockwise direction.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

When a magnet falls through a loop of wire, it induces an induced current on the loop of wire. This induced current is due to the motion of the magnet through the loop, which cause a change in the flux linkage of the magnet. According to Lenz law, the induced current acts in such a way as to repel the force or action that produces it. For this magnet, the only opposition possible is to stop its fall by inducing a like pole on the wire loop to repel its motion down. An induced current that flows counterclockwise in the wire loop has a polarity that is equivalent to a north pole on a magnet, and this will try to repel the motion of the magnet through the coil. Also, when the magnet goes pass the wire loop, this induced north pole will try to attract the south end of the magnet, all in a bid to stop its motion downwards.

What total mass must be converted into energy
Eduardwww [97]

This question apparently wants you to get comfortable
with  E = m c² .  But I must say, this question is a lame
way to do it.

c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
                                                    E = m c²

                           1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule  =  (m) (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²

Divide each side by (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²:

                         Mass = (1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)

                                   =  (1.03 / 9) x (10⁻¹³ ⁻ ¹⁶) (kg)

                                   =        1.144 x 10⁻³⁰  kg .    (choice-1)

This is roughly the mass of (1 and 1/4) electrons, so it seems
that it could never happen in nature.  The question is just an
exercise in arithmetic, and not a particularly interesting one.

Something like this could have been much more impressive:
 
The Braidwood Nuclear Power Generating Station in northeastern
Ilinois USA serves Chicago and northern Illinois with electricity.
<span>The station has two pressurized water reactors, which can generate
a net total of 2,242 megawatts at full capacity, making it the largest
nuclear plant in the state.
If the Braidwood plant were able to completely convert mass
to energy, how much mass would it need to convert in order
to provide the total electrical energy that it generates in a year,
operating at full capacity ?

Energy = (2,242 x 10⁶ joule/sec) x (86,400 sec/day) x (365 da/yr)

             =  (2,242 x 10⁶ x 86,400 x 365) joules

             =          7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules .

How much converted mass is that ?

                                           E  =  m c²

Divide each side by  c² :    Mass  =  E / c² .
c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

              Mass = (7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)

                        =        0.786 kilogram ! ! !

THAT should impress us !  If I've done the arithmetic correctly,
then roughly  (1 pound  11.7 ounces) of mass, if completely
converted to energy, would provide all the energy generated
by the largest nuclear power plant in Illinois, operating at max
capacity for a year !

How much force is needed to accelerate a 68 kilogram-skier at a rate of 1.2 m/sec^2?
DiKsa [7]
<span>Answer: Force = 81.6 N

Explanation:
According to Newton's Second law:
F = ma --- (1)

Where F = Force = ?
m = Mass = 68 kg
a = Acceleration = 1.2 m/s^2

Plug in the values in (1):
(1) => F = 68 * 1.2
F = 81.6 N (The force needed to accelerate the skier at a rate of 1.2 m/s^2)</span>

Which one of the following statements does not accurately describe vibrations?
Ivanshal [37]

This is an example of resonance - when one object vibrating at the same natural frequency of a second object forces that second object into vibrational motion. The result of resonance is always a large vibration.

Answer D. Forced vibrations, such as those between a tuning fork and a large cabinet surface, result in a much lower sound than was produced by the original vibrating body Because this statement contridicts the above statement, it is not accurate
