<h2>Entire trip takes 1.22 seconds.</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

        Time, t = 0.866 s      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      s = 0 x 0.866 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 0.866²

                      s = 3.68 m

      Halfway is 3.68 m

Total height = 2 x 3.68 = 7.36 m

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

        Time, t = ?

        Displacement, s  = 7.36 m

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      7.36 = 0 x t + 0.5 x 9.81 x t²

                      t = 1.22 s

Entire trip takes 1.22 seconds.

An eight-turn coil encloses an elliptical area having a major axis of 40.0 cm and a minor axis of 30.0 cm. The coil lies in the
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

9.25 x 10^-4 Nm

Explanation:

number of turns, N = 8

major axis = 40 cm

semi major axis, a = 20 cm = 0.2 m

minor axis = 30 cm

semi minor axis, b = 15 cm = 0.15 m

current, i = 6.2 A

Magnetic field, B = 1.98 x 10^-4 T

Angle between the normal and the magnetic field is 90°.

Torque is given by

τ = N i A B SinФ

Where, A be the area of the coil.

Area of ellipse, A = π ab = 3.14 x 0.20 x 0.15 = 0.0942 m²

τ = 8 x 6.20 x 0.0942 x 1.98 x 10^-4 x Sin 90°

τ = 9.25 x 10^-4 Nm

thus, the torque is 9.25 x 10^-4 Nm.

The potential difference between the plates of an air-filled parallel-plate capacitor with a plate separation of 4 cm is 51 V. W
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electric field between plates of a parallel plate capacitor is uniform .

In a uniform electric field , relation between electric field and potential gradient is as follows

electric field = potential gradient               [ E = - dV / dl ]

in the given case ,

dV = 51 V  ,

dl = 4 cm

=  4 x 10⁻² m

E = 51 /  4 x 10⁻²

= 12.75 x 10² V / m

= 1275 V / m

user100 [1]

Answer:

4.2 is the answer

Explanation

The image formed in a plane mirror is an equal distance behind the mirror as the object in front of it.

Step 1: the equation to this problem would be: 8.4/2

Step 2: 8.4 ÷ 2 = 4.2
