Truck drivers approaching a steep hill that they must climb often increase their speed. What good does this do, if any?

Um, this doesn't make any sense. By climbing a hill, you are decreasing your momentum and kinetic energy, so it slows you down. The only positive, is after you have climbed the hill, you have more potential energy, and it will be released once you go down the hill, but you will not be as fast as if you ignored the hill.

If a conducting loop of radius 10 cm is onboard an instrument on Jupiter at 45 degree latitude, and is rotating with a frequency
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

a)  fem = - 2.1514 10⁻⁴ V,  b) I = - 64.0 10⁻³ A, c)    P = 1.38  10⁻⁶ W

Explanation:

This exercise is about Faraday's law

         fem = - \frac{ d \Phi_B}{dt}

where the magnetic flux is

        Ф = B x A

the bold are vectors

        A = π r²

we assume that the angle between the magnetic field and the normal to the area is zero

         fem = - B π 2r dr/dt = - 2π B r v

linear and angular velocity are related

        v = w r

        w = 2π f

        v = 2π f r

we substitute

        fem = - 2π B r (2π f r)

        fem = -4π² B f r²

For the magnetic field of Jupiter we use the equatorial field B = 428 10⁻⁶T

we reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

       f = 2 rev / s (2π rad / 1 rev) = 4π Hz

we calculate

       fem = - 4π² 428 10⁻⁶ 4π 0.10²

       fem = - 16π³ 428 10⁻⁶ 0.010

       fem = - 2.1514 10⁻⁴ V

for the current let's use Ohm's law

        V = I R

        I = V / R

         I = -2.1514 10⁻⁴ / 0.00336

         I = - 64.0 10⁻³ A

Electric power is

        P = V I

        P = 2.1514 10⁻⁴ 64.0 10⁻³

        P = 1.38  10⁻⁶ W

Of the cliff?

Projectile motion
In the problem we are asked to find a height of certain cliff when a motorcycle stunt driver zoom out horizontally at the end the cliff at an initial velocity. So we will use one of the kinematics equation for projectile motion,

y

where
v

y
is just equal to zero since we can assume that the driver zooms out horizontally,

please help! find magnitude and direction (the counterclockwise angle with the +x axis) of a vector that is equal to a + c
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Option (2)

Explanation:

From the figure attached,

Horizontal component, A_x=A\text{Sin}37

A_x=12[\text{Sin}(37)]

     = 7.22 m

Vertical component, A_y=A[\text{Cos}(37)]

    = 9.58 m

Similarly, Horizontal component of vector C,

C_x  = C[Cos(60)]

     = 6[Cos(60)]

     = \frac{6}{2}

     = 3 m

C_y=6[\text{Sin}(60)]

    = 5.20 m

Resultant Horizontal component of the vectors A + C,

R_x=7.22-3=4.22 m

R_y=9.58-5.20 = 4.38 m

Now magnitude of the resultant will be,

From ΔOBC,

R=\sqrt{(R_x)^{2}+(R_y)^2}

   = \sqrt{(4.22)^2+(4.38)^2}

   = \sqrt{17.81+19.18}

   = 6.1 m

Direction of the resultant will be towards vector A.

tan(∠COB) = \frac{\text{CB}}{\text{OB}}

                  = \frac{R_y}{R_x}

                  = \frac{4.38}{4.22}

m∠COB = \text{tan}^{-1}(1.04)

             = 46°

Therefore, magnitude of the resultant vector will be 6.1 m and direction will be 46°.

Option (2) will be the answer.
