Explain why people are hesitant to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge

1 answer:

8 0

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is located in northern Alaska, and it sits well inside the Arctic Circle. Recent explorations showed that the region has several billion barrels of recoverable oil. It is a protected wildlife area, like the Grand Canyon or the Florida Everglades, so drilling will have negative impact on wildlife and forests in the region. Also, the region also supports native Alaskan tribes that rely on caribou herds.

A coil has 400 turns and self-inductance 7.50 mH. The current in the coil varies with time according to i = 1680 mA2 cos [πt/(0.

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

(a) 1.58 V

(b) 0.0126 Wb

Solution:

As per the question:

No. of turns in the coil, N = 400 turns

Self Inductance of the coil, L = 7.50 mH = $7.50\times 10^{- 3}\ H$

Current in the coil, i = $1680cos[\frac{\pi t}{0.0250}]$ A

where

$i_{max} = 1680\ mA = 1.680\ A$

Now,

(a) To calculate the maximum emf:

We know that maximum emf induced in the coil is given by:

$e = \frac{Ldi}{dt}$

$e = L\frac{d}{dt}(1680)cos[\frac{\pi t}{0.0250}]$

$e = - 7.50\times 10^{- 3}\times \frac{\pi}{0.0250}\times \frac{d}{dt}(1680)sin[\frac{\pi t}{0.0250}]$

For maximum emf, $sin\theta$ should be maximum, i.e., 1

Now, the magnitude of the maximum emf is given by:

$|e| = 7.50\times 10^{- 3}\times 1680\times 10^{- 3}\times \frac{\pi}{0.0250} = 1.58\ V$

(b) To calculate the maximum average flux,we know that:

$\phi_{m, avg} = L\times i_{max} = 7.50\times 10^{- 3}\times 1.680 = 0.0126\ Wb$

$e = e_{o}sin{\pi t}{0.0250}$

$e = 7.50\times 10^{- 3}\times sin{\pi \times 0.0180}{0.0250} = 2.96\times 10^{- 4} =0.0493\ V$

34. A train, starting from rest, accelerates along the platform at a uniform rate of 0.6 m/s2. A passenger standing on the platf

ira [324]

Answer:

4.08 s

Explanation:

Let the passenger took "t" time to catch the train

so in this case the total distance moved by the train + 5 m = total distance moved by the passenger

so we will have

distance moved by train is given as

$d_1 = \frac{1}{2}(0.6) t^2$

also the distance moved by passenger

$d_2 = \frac{1}{2}(1.2) t^2$

so we will have

$d_1 + 5 = d_2$

$0.3 t^2 + 5 = 0.6 t^2$

$0.3 t^2 = 5$

t = 4.08 s

If 1.34 ✕ 1020 electrons move through a pocket calculator during a full day's operation, how many coulombs of charge moved throu

ioda

Given :

Number of operations move through a pocket calculator during a full day's operation , $n=1.34 \times 10^{20}$ .

To Find :

How many coulombs of charge moved through it .

Solution :

We know , charge in one electron is :

$e^-=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\ coulombs$

So , charge on n electron is :

$C=e^-\times n\\C=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.34\times 10^{20} \ C\\C=-21.44\ C$

Therefore , -21.44 coulombs of charge is moved through it .

Hence , this is the required solution .

Two boats - Boat A and Boat B - are anchored a distance of 24 meters apart. The incoming water waves force the boats to oscillat

ozzi

Answer:

wavelength = 24 m

Period = 10 s

f = 0.1 Hz

Amplitude = 4 m

Explanation:

Wavelength:

Since the boats are at crest and trough, respectively at the same time. Hence, the horizontal distance between them is the wavelength of the wave:

wavelength = 24 m

Period:

The period is given as:

$Period = \frac{time}{no.\ of\ cycles} \\\\Period = \frac{10\ s}{1}\\\\$

Period = 10 s

Frequency:

The frequency is given as:

$f = \frac{1}{time\ period}\\\\f = \frac{1}{10\ s}\\\\$

f = 0.1 Hz

Amplitude:

Amplitude will be half the distance between extreme points, that is, crest and trough:

Amplitude = 8 m/2

Amplitude = 4 m
