It is known that birds can detect the earth's magnetic field, but the mechanism of how they do this is not known. It has been su

ggested that perhaps they detect a motional EMF as they fly north to south, but it turns out that the induced voltages are small compared to the voltages normally encountered in cells, so this is probably not the mechanism involved. To check this out, calculate the induced voltage for a wild goose with a wingspan of 1.2 m flying due south at 13 m/s at a point where the earth's magnetic field is 5 x 10-5 T directed downward from horizontal by 40-degrees. The expected voltage would be about:A) .50 mV B) .25 mV C) .60 mV D) .060 mV E) .78 mV

Answer:

A) 0.50 mV

Explanation:

In this problem, we can think the wings of the bird as a metal rod moving across a magnetic field. So, and emf will be induced into the wings of the bird, according to the formula:

\epsilon = BvL sin \theta

where

B=5\cdot 10^{-5} T is the strength of the magnetic field

v = 13 m/s is the speed of the bird

L = 1.2 m is the wingspan of the bird

\theta=40^{\circ} is the angle between the direction of motion and the direction of the magnetic field

Substituting numbers into the formula, we find

\epsilon = (5.0\cdot 10^{-5} T)(13 m/s)(1.2 m) sin 40^{\circ}=0.00050 V = 0.50 mV

an auditorium measures 30.0 m ✕ 15.0 m ✕ 5.0 m. the density of air is 1.20 kg/m3. (a) what is the volume of the room in cubic fe
Fynjy0 [20]

dimension = 30.0 m ✕ 15.0 m ✕ 5.0 m.

density = 1.20 kg/m3

(a)volume = lenght * breadth * height

      = 30 * 15 * 5

      = 2250 metre cube = 2.25 cubic meter

(b)   mass of air = density * volume

        mass of air = 1.2 * 2250

mass of air = 2700kg

weight  = mass * 9.8

             = 2700 * 9.8

             = 26,460 N

  • The definition of Density is the amount of matter in a given space, or volume
  • Density = mass/volume
  • units for density kg/m^3
  • Density of water 1g/ml
  • Salt water is denser that is why  don't sink as easily.

Stels [109]

In quantum mechanics, a central concept is that both matter and <u>energy</u> are alternate forms of the same entity and therefore both exhibit dual characteristics of particles and of <u>waves</u>.

Matter can be defined as anything that has mass and is able to occupy space.

Thus, any physical object or substance that is found on Earth is typically composed of matter.

Similarly, energy is highly affected by the mass of a any physical object or substance just like matter,

Hence, both energy and matter are known to be made up of atoms and as a result of this fact, exhibit dual characteristics of particles and of waves.

A wave can be defined as a disturbance in a medium that progressively transports energy from a source location to another location without the transportation of matter.

In conclusion, this central concept makes it easier for us to better understand the behavior of tiny particles such as electrons.
