Give an example to explain that motion is relative in nature

3 0

Consider a long train moving at speed v. Now consider a passenger throwing a ball inside this train, towards the back of the train, with same velocity v (but in the opposite direction of the train movement).

- A passenger inside the train will see the ball moving with speed v
- For an observer outside the train, however, the ball will appear as still. In fact, for him the ball will have a speed v (given by the movement of the train) -v (velocity of the ball but moving in the opposite direction), so the net velocity will be v+(-v)=0.

A square coil of wire with side 8.0 cm and 50 turns sits in a uniform magnetic field that is perpendicular to the plane of the c

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

area of the coil A = .08 x .08 = 64 x 10⁻⁴ m ²

flux through the coil Φ = area of coil x no of turns x magnetic field

= 64 x 10⁻⁴ x 50 x B where B is magnetic field

emf induced = dΦ / dt = ( 64 x 10⁻⁴ x 50 x B - 0 ) / .2

= 1.6 B

current induced = emf induced / resistance

12 x 10⁻³ = 1.6 B / 15

B = 112.5 x 10⁻³ T .

One person is in a pool and is diving to a depth of 2.3m, and another person is diving to a depth of 3m. What pressure does each

Vlad [161]

Explanation:

The static pressure is P = ρgh, where ρ is the density of the fluid and h is the depth.

For the first person:

P = (1000 kg/m³) (9.8 m/s²) (2.3 m)

P = 22,500 Pa

For the second person:

P = (1000 kg/m³) (9.8 m/s²) (3 m)

P = 29,400 Pa

¡¡¡AYUDA CON ESTOS EJERCICIOS DE FÍSICA!!!

asambeis [7]

Answer:

(a) 8 V, (b) 144000 V, (c) 2 x 10^(-8) C

Explanation:

(a) charge, q = 5 μC , Work, W = 40 x 10-^(-6) J

The electric potential is given by

W = q V

$40\times10^{-6}=5 \times10^{-6}\times V\\\\V = 8 V$

(b)

charge, q = 8 x 10^(-6) C, distance, r = 50 cm = 0.5 m

Let the potential is V.

$V =\frac{k q}{r}\\\\V =\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 8\times 10^{-6}}{0.5}\\\\V =144000 V$

(c)

Work, W = 8 x 10^(-5) J, Potential difference, V = 4000 V

Let the charge is q.

W= q V

$8\times10^{-5}= q\times 4000\\\\q =2\times 10^{-8} C$

A bird takes off from the tree and after 5 s is flying at a speed of 10 m/s. Calculate

Volgvan

Answer:

10miles/second

Explanation:

Change in velocity of the bird is expressed as the difference between the final velocity and initial velocity of the body.

Change in velocity = Final velocity - initial velocity

Since the bird takes off from the tree, the initial velocity of the bird = 0miles/sec

Final velocity = 10miles/secs

Change in velocity = 10-0

Change in velocity = 10miles/second
