Which forms first: protoplanets or planetesimals?

1 answer:

6 0

A planetesimal is small bodies from which a planet originated in the early stages of formation of the solar system. Protoplanets are when planetesimals join together through collisions and through the force of gravity to form larger bodies.

Therefore, planetesimals are formed first.

A fixed coil of wire with 10 turns and an area of 0.055 m2 is placed in a perpendicular magnetic field. This field oscillates in

Blababa [14]

Answer:

Part a)

Average EMF for half cycle is

$E_{avg} = 2.64 V$

Part b)

For one complete cycle we will have

$E_{avg} = 0$

Part c)

Maximum induced EMF will be at

t = 0.025 s and 0.075 s

minimum induced EMF is at

t = 0.05s and 0.1 s

Explanation:

As we know that magnetic field is oscillating in direction as well as magnitude

so induced EMF is given as

$E = NBA\omega sin(\omega t)$

Part a)

For average value of EMF from positive maximum to negative maximum which is equal to half cycle

so we have

$E_{avg} = NBA\omega \frac{2}{T}\int_0^{T/2} sin(\omega t) dt$

$E_{avg} = \frac{2NBA\omega}{\pi}$

$E_{avg} = \frac{2(10)(0.12)(0.055)(2\pi (10))}{\pi}$

$E_{avg} = 2.64 V$

Part b)

For one complete cycle we will have

$E_{avg} = NBA\omega \frac{1}{T}\int_0^T sin(\omega t) dt$

$E_{avg} = 0$

Part c)

Maximum induced EMF will be at

$t = \frac{T}{4} and \frac{3T}{4}$

here we know

$T = \frac{1}{f} = 0.1 s$

t = 0.025 s and 0.075 s

minimum induced EMF is at

$t = \frac{T}{2} and T$

so it is

t = 0.05s and 0.1 s

A 64 kg swimmer jumps, with a velocity of 4.2 m/s, off the front of a 25 kg kayak when the kayak is moving forward at a velocity

Crank

Answer:

3.88m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum

m1u1+m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

m1 and m2 are the masses

u1 and 2 are the initial velocities

v is the final velocity

Given

m1 = 64kg

u1 = 4.2m/s

m2 = 25kg

u2 = 3.2m/s

Required

Final velocity v

Substitute the given values into the formula

64(4.2)+25(3.2) = (65+25)v

268.8+80 = 90v

348.8 = 90v

v = 348.8/90

v = 3.88m/s

Hence the velocity of the kayak after the swimmer jumps off is 3.88m/s

An astronaut orbits planet Y in her spaceship. To remain in orbit at 410km above the planet's center, she maintains a speed of 6

choli [55]

Formula for orbital speed, v = √(GM/R)

Where G is the universal gravitational constant, M = Central Mass,

R = Distance between centers of Mass.

Given. v = 68 m/s, M = ? , R = 410 km = 410000 m., G = 6.674 * 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

68 = √(GM/R)

68 = √(6.674 * 10⁻¹¹ * M/410000)

68² = (6.674 * 10⁻¹¹ * M)/410000

(68² * 410000) / 6.674 * 10⁻¹¹ = M

2.84 × 10¹⁹ = M

Mass of Planet Y = 2.84 × 10¹⁹ kg
