A constant magnetic flux through a closed loop of wire induces an emf in that loop. True or false?

miskamm [114]

Answer: False

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the Faraday law, which say

dФm/dt=-ε it means that the variation of the magnetic field flux with time is equal to the emf ( electromotive force). In our case the magnetic flux is constant then there is not a emf induced in a wire closed loop.

A cyclist rides at 6.20 m/s through a intersection. A stationary car begins to

Xelga [282]

Answer:

The width of the intersection is 20 meters

Explanation:

The speed with which the cyclist is riding, v₁ = 6.20 m/s

The rate at which the car starts to accelerate, a = 3.844 m/s²

The initial velocity of the car = The car is stationary at the start = 0 m/s

The time at which the cyclist and the car reach the other side of the intersection = The same time;

Let 't' represent the time at which the cyclist and the car both reach the other side of the intersection, we have;

The distance travelled by the cyclist = The distance traveled by the car

∴ v₁ × t = 1/2 × a × t²

Plugging in the values for 'v₁', and 'a' in the above equation, we get;

6.20 × t = 1/2 × 3.844 × t²

∴ 1.922·t² - 6.20·t = 0

∴ t·(1.922·t - 6.20) = 0

t = 0, or t = 6.20/1.922 = 100/31

The time at which the cyclist and the car both reach the other side of the intersection, t = 100/31 seconds

The with of the intersection, w = v₁ × t

∴ w = 6.20 × 100/31 = 100/5 = 20

The width of the intersection, w = 20 meters.

The amount of energy necessary to remove an electron from an atom is a quantity called the ionization energy, Ei. This energy ca

Verizon [17]

Answer:

The value is $E_i = 1.5596 *10^{-18} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength is $\lambda = 48.2 nm = 48.2 *10^{- 9 }\ m$

The velocity is $v = 2.371*10^6 \ m/s$

The mass of electron is $m_e = 9.109*10^{-31} \ kg$

Generally the energy of the incident light is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{h * c}{\lambda}$

Here c is the speed of light with value $c = 3.0 *10^{8} \ m/s$

h is the Planck constant with value $h = 6.62607015 * 10^{-34 } J\cdot s$

$E = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34 }* 3.0 *10^{8}}{48.2 *10^{- 9 }}$

=> $E = 4.12 *10^{-18} \ J$

Generally the kinetic energy is mathematically represented as

$E_k = \frac{1}{2} * m_e * v^2$

=> $E_k = \frac{1}{2} * 9.109*10^{-31} * (2.371*10^6 )^2$

=> $E_k = 2.56 *0^{-18} \ J$

Generally the ionization energy is mathematically represented as

$E_i = 4.12 *10^{-18} - 2.56 *0^{-18}$

=> $E_i = 1.5596 *10^{-18} \ J$
