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

How are balanced & unbalanced forces related to net force?
Levart [38]

Answer:

An unbalanced force (net force) acting on an object changes its speed and/or direction of motion. ... A net force = unbalanced force. If however, the forces are balanced (in equilibrium) and there is no net force, the object will not accelerate and the velocity will remain constant.

How do earthquakes affect earths surface?
ivanzaharov [21]
Some of the reasons that can cause can earthquake are volcanic eruptions, the grinding of tectonic plates beneath the earth's crust and violent explosions which can be artificially induced as well. No matter what the reason is, earthquakes affect the environment and earth's surface. Noticeable cracks have formed on the earth's surface after earthquakes. If the tremors are violent, it can result in the destruction of landscapes. The mountains become prone to land sliding. the glacier's become a threat because of fear of avalanches. tsunamis which are earthquakes in the ocean bed can cause heavy flooding which causes water to cross all boundaries and shores and flood entire cities. Earthquakes caused by volcanoes can result in the spewing of so much lava that it may spill everywhere and cool changing the surface of the earth geologically as well as the ash causing aerial pollution.

A 66-kg diver jumps off a 9.7-m tower. (a) Find the diver's velocity when he hits the water. (b) The diver comes to a stop 2.0 m
Mariana [72]

Answer:

(a)  13.795 m/s.

(b) -3140.28 N.

Explanation:

(a) Using newton's  equation of motion,

v² = u² + 2gs.......................... Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, s = height of the tower, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: s = 9.7 m, u = 0 m/s ( jump from a height), g = 9.81 m/s².

Substitute into equation 1

v² = 0² + 2×9.81×9.7

v² = 190.314

v = √(190.314)

v = 13.795 m/s.

Hence the velocity of the driver when he hits the water = 13.795 m/s.

(b)

F = ma.................... Equation 2

Where F = force exerted on the diver, m = mass of the diver, a = acceleration of the diver below the water surface.

Also using

v² = u² + 2as ............ Equation 3

Note: At the point when the diver enters the water, u = 13.795 m/s, and at the point when the diver comes to a complete stop, v = 0 m/s

Given: s = 2.0 m, u = 13.795 m/s, v = 0 m/s

Substitute into equation 3

0² = 13.795²+2(2a)

0 = 190.30203 + 4a

-4a = 190.30203

a = 190.30203/-4

a = -47.58 m/s²

Also given: m = 66 kg,

Substitute into equation 3

F = (-47.58)(66)

F = -3140.28

Note: The Force is negative because it act against the motion of the diver.

Hence the net force exerted on the diver while in the water = -3140.28 N.
