A 10.0-cm-long wire is pulled along a U-shaped conducting rail in a perpendicular magnetic field. The total resistance of the wi

re and rail is 0.350ohms . Pulling the wire at a steady speed of 4.0m/s causes 4.20W of power to be dissipated in the circuit. part A: How big is the pulling force? part B: What is the strength of the magnetic field?

A) 1.05 N

The power dissipated in the circuit can be written as the product between the pulling force and the speed of the wire:

$P=Fv$

where

P = 4.20 W is the power

F is the magnitude of the pulling force

v = 4.0 m/s is the speed of the wire

Solving the equation for F, we find

$F=\frac{P}{v}=\frac{4.20 W}{4.0 m/s}=1.05 N$

B) 3.03 T

The electromotive force induced in the circuit is:

$\epsilon=BvL$ (1)

where

B is the strength of the magnetic field

v = 4.0 m/s is the speed of the wire

L = 10.0 cm = 0.10 m is the length of the wire

We also know that the power dissipated is

$P=\frac{\epsilon^2}{R}$ (2)

where

$R=0.350 \Omega$ is the resistance of the wire

Subsituting (1) into (2), we get

$P=\frac{B^2 v^2 L^2}{R}$

And solving it for B, we find the strength of the magnetic field:

$B=\frac{\sqrt{PR}}{vL}=\frac{\sqrt{(4.20 W)(0.350 \Omega)}}{(4.0 m/s)(0.10 m)}=3.03 T$

A fire breaks out and increases the Kelvin temperature of a cylinder of compressed gas by a factor of 2.4. What is the final pre

kherson [118]

Answer:

P(final) is 2.4 times P(initial).

Explanation:

Here we can assume that the cylinder did not break and it's volume and number of moles of gas present in the cylinder remains constant.

Given the temperature increases by a factor of 2.4. Let us assume that the initial temperature be $T_{1}$ and the final temperature be $T_{2}$ .

Given that $T_{2}=2.4\times T_{1}$

Now we know the ideal gas equation is PV=nRT

here V=constant , n=constant , R=gas constant(which is constant).

$\frac{P}{T}=constant$

$\frac{P_{1} }{T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2} }{T_{2} }$

$P_{2}=(\frac{T_{2} }{T_{1} } )P_{1}$

$P_{2}=(\frac{2.4T_{1} }{T_{1} } )P_{1}$

$P_{2}=2.4\times P_{1}$

Explanation:

Dear Student, this question is incomplete, and to attempt this question, we have attached the complete copy of the question in the image below. Please, Kindly refer to it when going through the solution to the question.

To objective is to find the:

(i) required heat exchanger area.

(ii) flow rate to be maintained in the evaporator.

Given that:

water temperature = 300 K

At a reasonable depth, the water is cold and its temperature = 280 K

The power output W = 2 MW

Efficiency $\zeta$ = 3%

where;

$\zeta = \dfrac{W_{out}}{Q_{supplied }}$

$Q_{supplied } = \dfrac{2}{0.03} \ MW$

$Q_{supplied } = 66.66 \ MW$

However, from the evaporator, the heat transfer Q can be determined by using the formula:

Q = UA(L MTD)

where;

$LMTD = \dfrac{\Delta T_1 - \Delta T_2}{In (\dfrac{\Delta T_1}{\Delta T_2} )}$

Also;

$\Delta T_1 = T_{h_{in}}- T_{c_{out}} \\ \\ \Delta T_1 = 300 -290 \\ \\ \Delta T_1 = 10 \ K$

$\Delta T_2 = T_{h_{in}}- T_{c_{out}} \\ \\ \Delta T_2 = 292 -290 \\ \\ \Delta T_2 = 2\ K$

$LMTD = \dfrac{10 -2}{In (\dfrac{10}{2} )}$

$LMTD = \dfrac{8}{In (5)}$

LMTD = 4.97

Thus, the required heat exchanger area A is calculated by using the formula:

$Q_H = UA (LMTD)$

where;

U = overall heat coefficient given as 1200 W/m².K

$66.667 \times 10^6 = 1200 \times A \times 4.97 \\ \\ A= \dfrac{66.667 \times 10^6}{1200 \times 4.97} \\ \\ \mathbf{A = 11178.236 \ m^2}$

The mass flow rate:

$Q_{H} = mC_p(T_{in} -T_{out} ) \\ \\ 66.667 \times 10^6= m \times 4.18 (300 -292) \\ \\ m = \dfrac{ 66.667 \times 10^6}{4.18 \times 8} \\ \\ \mathbf{m = 1993630.383 \ kg/s}$

A 50kg meteorite moving at 1000 m/s strikes Earth. Assume the velocity is along the line joining Earth's center of mass and the

zysi [14]

As per the question, the mass of meteorite [ m]= 50 kg

The velocity of the meteorite [v] = 1000 m/s

When the meteorite falls on the ground, it will give whole of its kinetic energy to earth.

We are asked to calculate the gain in kinetic energy of earth.

The kinetic energy of meteorite is calculated as -

$Kinetic\ energy\ [K.E]\ =\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

$=\frac{1}{2}50kg*[1000\ m/s]^2$

$=\frac{1}{2}50* 10^{6}\ J$

$=25*10^6\ J$

Here, J stands for Joule which is the S.I unit of energy.

$Hence,\ the\ kinetic\ energy\ gained\ by\ earth\ is\ 25*10^6\ J$
