If there were no current in the wire running through the magnet, what could you do to induce an electric current?

1 answer:

5 0

If there is no current running through a good conductor, it's always because
there is no potential difference between its ends, so the electrons in it have
no incentive to go anywhere. If you want a current to flow, just create a potential
difference (a voltage) between the ends of the conductor. You can do that with
a generator, a battery, a solar cell, or some pieces of metal stuck into a moist
potato. As soon as you do that, those electrons wake up, and they all start trying
to fly away from the negative end of the conductor, toward the positive end.

A player kicks a football from ground level with a velocity of 26.2m/s at an angle of 34.2° above the horizontal. How far back f

Amanda [17]

For the ball to go straight into the goal, the kicker needs to be no more than 6.54 meters away from the goal.

For the ball to arc into the goal, the kicker needs to be between 58.5 and 65.1 meters away from the goal.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

How long does it take for the ball to reach the goal?

Let the distance between the kicker and the goal be $x$ meters.

Horizontal velocity of the ball will always be $26.2\times\cos{34.2\textdegree}$ until it lands if there's no air resistance.

The ball will arrive at the goal in $\displaystyle \frac{x}{26.2\times\cos{34.2\textdegree}}$ seconds after it leaves the kicker.

What will be the height of the ball when it reaches the goal?

Consider the equation

$\displaystyle h(t) = -\frac{1}{2}\cdot g\cdot t^{2} + v_{0,\;\text{vertical}} \cdot t + h_0$ .

For this soccer ball:

$g = 9.81\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-2}$ ,
$v_{0,\;\text{vertical}} = 26.2\times \sin{34.2\textdegree{}}\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-2}$ ,
$h_0 = 0$ since the player kicks the ball "from ground level."

$\displaystyle t=\frac{x}{26.2\times\cos{34.2\textdegree}}$

when the ball reaches the goal.

$\displaystyle h= - 9.81 \times \frac{x^2}{(26.2\times\cos{34.2\textdegree})^2} + (26.2 \times \sin{34.2\textdegree})\times\frac{x}{26.2\times\cos{34.2\textdegree}} \\\phantom{h} = -\frac{9.81}{(26.2\times\cos{34.2\textdegree})^2}\cdot x^{2} + \frac{\sin{34.2\textdegree}}{\cos{34.2\textdegree}}\cdot x$ .

Solve this quadratic equation for $x$ , $x > 0$ .

$x = 65.1$ meters when $h = 0$ meters.
$x = 6.54$ or $58.5$ meters when $h = 4$ meters.

In other words,

For the ball to go straight into the goal, the kicker needs to be no more than 6.54 meters away from the goal.
For the ball to arc into the goal, the kicker needs to be between 58.5 and 65.1 meters away from the goal.

What is the driving force for (a) heat transfer, (b) electric current, and (c) fluid flow?

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The driving force for (a) heat transfer is temperature difference. (b) electric current is voltage difference. (c) fluid flow is pressure or hydraulic head difference.

Explanation: (a) The driving force for heat transfer is temperature difference. Heat transfer between two mediums is possible only if the two mediums are at different temperature, the higher the temperature, the higher the heat transfer.

(b) The driving force for electric current is voltage difference. Voltage difference is defined as the potential difference in charge between two points in electrical field. For electric current to occur,the voltage must be high.

(c) The driving force for fluid flow is pressure difference or hydraulic head difference. For fluid to move upward,it requires energy.
