The Moon is about 3.8 ✕ 108 m from Earth. Traveling at the speed of light, 3.0 ✕ 108 m/s, how long does it take a laser beam to

go from Earth to the Moon and back again (in s)? The same physics was responsible for the noticeable delay in communications signals between lunar astronauts and controllers at the Houston Space Flight Center

Hello

1) The total distance the light has to cover to go from Earth to the Moon and back is twice the distance between the Earth and the Moon:
S=2d=2\cdot 3.8 \cdot 10^8~m =7.6 \cdot 10^8~m

2) Given the relationship
v= \frac{S}{t}
where v=3\cdot10^8~m/s is the speed of light, S the total distance covered calculate at point 1), and t the time, we can find the time the light needs to go from Earth to the Moon and back again:
t= \frac{S}{v}= \frac{7.6\cdot10^8 m}{3\cdot10^8~m/s}=2.53~s

5. Suppose that you wish to construct a simple ac generator having an output of 24 V maximum when rotated at 120 Hz. A uniform m
vazorg [7]

Answer:

32 turns

Explanation:

From the expression for the induced emf,

E = (N)(B)(A) w

E = emf = 24 V

N = number of turns = ?

B = magnetic field strength = 0.10 T

A = Cross sectional Area of the loop = 100 cm² = 0.01 m²

w = Angular speed = (2πf) = (2π × 120) = 754.3 rad/s

24 = N (0.1)(0.01)(754.3)

N = (24/0.7543)

N = 31.8 ≈ 32 turns.

Hope this Helps!!!

Problem 4: a long wire carries current towards east. a positive charge moves westward and just north from the wire. what is the
Alex787 [66]
The direction of the force experienced by the positive charge is upward.

We can use the right-hand rule to understand the direction of the Lorentz force acting on the charge: let's put the thumb in the same direction of the current in the wire (eastward), while the other fingers "wrap themselves" around the wire. These other fingers give the direction of the Lorentz force in every point of the space around the wire. Since the charge is located north of the wire, in that point the fingers are directed upward, so the positive charge experiences a force directed upward.
(if it was a negative charge, we should have taken the opposite direction)

The center-seeking change in velocity of an object moving in a circle is:
NeTakaya

The center-seeking change in velocity of an object moving in a circle is the centripetal acceleration.

So, by Newton's laws, we know that an object moving with a given velocity will remain in constant motion with a constant velocity until we apply an acceleration.

So we define acceleration as the rate of change of the velocity, also remember that velocity is a vector (has magnitude and direction), so, if there is a change the direction of the velocity, we have an acceleration that causes that.

In circular motion, the velocity vector is always perpendicular to the radius of the circle, and it can only be possible if the velocity direction is changing constantly. This will happen because of something called centripetal acceleration.

This acceleration points radially inwards (to the center of the circle) so is also perpendicular to the velocity of the moving object, and this is what causes the constant change in the direction of the velocity of the moving object.

Just to give an example, if you have a string with a mass on one end, and with your hand, you rotate the mass (from the string), the tension of the string would be the centripetal acceleration.
