What is the speed of an object at rest

Physics
1 answer:
sammy [17]3 years ago
4 0
The speed of an object is measured by calculating the distance it travels per unit time.
The formula in Physics for calculating speed is = distance/ time.

Since an object at rest is not covering any distance, the speed is always assumed to be 0 m/s.

Inside a television picture tube there is a build-up of electrons (charge of 1.602 × 10^–19 C) with an average spacing of 38.0 n
Brut [27]
The magnitude of electric field is produced by the electrons at a certain distance.

E = kQ/r²

where: 
E = electric field produced
Q = charge
r = distance
k = Coulomb Law constant 9 x10^9<span> N. m</span>2<span> / C</span><span>2

Given are the following:
Q = </span><span>1.602 × 10^–19 C
</span><span>r = 38 x 10^-9 m

Substitue the given:
E = </span>\frac{( 1.602 x 10^{-19} )( 9.0x10_{9} )}{(38x10^{-9}) ^{2} }

E = 998.476 kN/C

True or false?
Ksju [112]

1. False

Explanation: it's exactly the opposite. In fact, Lenz's law states that the induced current and the induced emf in a conductor are generated in such a direction that opposes to the change in magnetic flux through the coil. This is summarized by the negative sign in the Faraday's Newmann Lenz law:

\epsilon= -\frac{d\Phi }{dt}

where \epsilon is the emf induced and \frac{d\Phi}{dt} is the rate of change of magnetic flux through the coil.

Lenz's law is a consequence of the law of conservation of energy. In fact, we have:

- If the magnetic flux through a coil is increasing, then the induced current has a direction such that the magnetic field generated by the coil is opposite to the direction of the external magnetic field, in order to decrease the total flux

- If the magnetic flux through a coil is decreasing, then the induced current has a direction such that the magnetic field generated by the coil is in the same direction as the external field, in order to increase the total flux

2. False

Explanation: the magnetic flux through a surface is given by

\Phi = BA cos \theta

where

B is the magnitude of the magnetic field

A is the surface area

\theta is the angle between the direction of B and the normal vector to the surface

As we see, the magnetic flux depends not only on B and A, but also on the orientation of the coil with respect to the magnetic field.

3. False

Explanation:

- Sound waves are mechanical waves: mechanical waves are waves consisting of oscillations of the particles in a medium. Due to their nature, therefore, mechanical waves can propagate only in the presence of a medium

- Electromagnetic waves are NOT mechanical waves: they consist of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields, in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. Since em waves are not mechanical waves, they do NOT need a medium to propagate, since they can also travel through a vacuum; therefore the original statement is false.

Rank in order, from smallest to largest, the six torques (torque 1 to torque 2) about the hinge.?
anzhelika [568]
The solution for this problem is:torque1 = torque2 = FL / 2 
Torque 3 = Torque 4 = FL / 2 * sin (theta) 
Torque 5 = 2 FL 
Torque 6 = 0 

So the order of the torques from smallest to largest is torque 6, (torque 3 and 4), (torque 1 and 2), torque 5.


Remember or just take note that sin (theta) < 1 is why 3 and 4 are less than 1 and 2.
