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 × 10-5T directed downward from horizontal by 40°. The expected voltage would be about

Answer:

EMF = 5.01 \times 10^{-4} Volts

Explanation:

Here we know that the EMF induced in this Field is given as

EMF = vBL

here B = perpendicular component of magnetic field

v = speed of the bird

L = length of the wings

now we have

B = 5\times 10^{-5} sin40

v = 13 m/s

L = 1.2 m

now we have

EMF = (13)(3.21 \times 10^{-5})(1.2)

EMF = 5.01 \times 10^{-4} Volts

A stone dropped in a pond sends out a circular ripple whose radius increases at a constant rate of 4 ft/sec. After 12 seconds, h
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

After 12 seconds, the area enclosed by the ripple will be increasing rapidly at the rate of 1206.528 ft²/sec

Explanation:

Area of a circle = πr²

where;

r is the circle radius

Differentiate the area with respect to time.

\frac{dA}{dt} = 2\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}

dr/dt = 4 ft/sec

after 12 seconds, the radius becomes = \frac{dr}{dt} X 12 = 4 \frac{ft}{sec}  X 12 sec = 48 ft

To obtain how rapidly is the area enclosed by the ripple increasing after 12 seconds, we calculate dA/dt

\frac{dA}{dt} = 2\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}

\frac{dA}{dt} = 2\pi (48)(4)

    dA/dt = 1206.528 ft²/sec

Therefore, after 12 seconds, the area enclosed by the ripple will be increasing rapidly at the rate of 1206.528 ft²/sec

Consider the two moving boxcars in Example 5. Car 1 has a mass of m1 = 65000 kg and a velocity of v01 = +0.80 m/s. Car 2 has a m
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

1.034m/s

Explanation:

We define the two moments to develop the problem. The first before the collision will be determined by the center of velocity mass, while the second by the momentum preservation. Our values are given by,

m_1 = 65000kg\\v_1 = 0.8m/s\\m_2 = 92000kg\\v_2 = 1.2m/s

<em>Part A)</em> We apply the center of mass for velocity in this case, the equation is given by,

V_{cm} = \frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}

Substituting,

V_{cm} = \frac{(65000*0.8)+(92000*1.2)}{92000+65000}

V_{cm} = 1.034m/s

Part B)

For the Part B we need to apply conserving momentum equation, this formula is given by,

m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f

Where here v_f is the velocity after the collision.

v_f = \frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}

v_f = \frac{(65000*0.8)+(92000*1.2)}{92000+65000}

v_f = 1.034m/s

Two protons are 9.261 fm apart. (1 fm= 1 femtometer = 1 x 10^-15 m.) What is the ratio of the electric force to the gravitationa
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

1.24\times 10^{36}

Explanation:

q = magnitude of charge on each proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

m = mass of each proton = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

r = distance between the two protons = 1 x 10⁻¹⁵ m

Electric force between the two protons is given as

F_{e} = \frac{kq^{2}}{r^{2}}

F_{e} = \frac{(9\times 10^{9})(1.6\times 10^{-19})^{2}}{(1\times 10^{-15})^{2}}

F_{e} = 230.4 N

Gravitational force between the two protons is given as

F_{g} = \frac{Gm^{2}}{r^{2}}

F_{g} = \frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})(1.67\times 10^{-27})^{2}}{(1\times 10^{-15})^{2}}

F_{g} = 1.86\times 10^{-34} N

Ratio is given as

Ratio =\frac{F_{e}}{F_{g}}

Ratio =\frac{230.4}{1.86\times 10^{-34}}

Ratio = 1.24\times 10^{36}
