You have to use absolute value to change -922 into positive 922, and then add it to 11,542. That will give you the height of the surface above sea level. Therefore, your answer is 12,464 feet above sea level.

Answer:

12464 feet

Explanation:

It is given that, the deepest point of lake Titicaca in south america is -922 feet relative to its surface. The deepest point is 11,542 feet above sea level. We need to find the elevation of the surface of the lake. Let it is equal to x.

x = height relative to its surface + height above sea level.

x = 922 feet + 11542 feet

x = 12464 feet

So, the elevation of the surface of the lake is 12464 feet. Hence, this is the required solution.

A small loop of area A = 5.5 mm2 is inside a long solenoid that has n = 919 turns/cm and carries a sinusoidally varying current

Tema [17]

Answer: $410.90\times 10^{-6} V$

Explanation:

Given

$A=5.5 mm^2$

$n=919 turns/cm\approx 85400 turns/m$

$\omega =226 rad/s$

According to the Faraday law of induction, induced emf is given by

$E=-\frac{\mathrm{d} \phi _B}{\mathrm{d} t}$

Magnetic field $\phi _B=B\cdot A$

$B=\mu _0ni=\mu _0ni_osin\left ( \omega t\right )$

$B=4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 85400\times 3.08\times \sin (226t)$

$B=0.3305\sin (226t)$

$\phi _{B}=0.3305\times \sin (226t)\times 5.5\times 10^{-6}$

$\phi _{B}=1.818\times 10^{-6}\sin (226t)$

$E=-\frac{\mathrm{d} \phi _B}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$E=-1.818\times 10^{-6}\times 226\cos (226t)$

$E=-410.90\times 10^{-6}\cos (226t)$

Amplitude of EMF induced $=410.90\times 10^{-6} V$

A flashlight beam makes an angle of 60 degrees with the surface of the water before it enters the water. in the water what angle

alexira [117]

<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

= 22°

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

According to Snell's law, the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant. The constant value is called the refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first.

Therefore; Sin i/Sin r = η

In this case; Angle of incidence = 90° -60° =30°, angle of refraction =? and η = 1.33

Thus;

Sin 30 / Sin r = 1.33

Sin r = Sin 30°/1.33

= 0.3759

r = Sin^-1 0.3759

= 22.08

<u>≈ 22°</u>

A 2.5 kg , 20-cm-diameter turntable rotates at 150 rpm on frictionless bearings. Two 500 g blocks fall from above, hit the turnt

emmainna [20.7K]

The concepts required to solve this problem are those related to the conservation of the angular momentum and the moment of inertia of the disk. We will begin by calculating the moment of inertia of the disc, then the moment of inertia of the disc after the two two blocks hits and sticks to the edges of the turn table. In the end we will apply the conservation theorem.

The radius is given as,

$R = \frac{20cm}{2} = 10cm = 0.1m$

When a block falls from above and sticks to the turn table, the moment inertia of the turntable increases.

Since two blocks are stick to the turn table, the total final moment of inertia of the turntable is the sum moment of inertias of individual turntable, and two blocks.

$I_1 = \frac{1}{2} MR^2$

$I_1 = \frac{1}{2} (2.5)(0.1)^2$

$I_1 = 0.0125kg \cdot m^2$

The moment of inertia of each block is

$I_0 = mR^2$

Total moment of inertia of two block is

$I_0' = 2mR^2$

The final moment of inertia of the turn table is

$I_2 = I_1 +I'0$

$I_2 = I_1 +2mR^2$

$I_2 = 0.01kg\cdot m^2 + 2(500*10^{-3}kg)(0.1m)^2$

$I_2 = 0.0225kg\cdot m^2$

From the conservation of the angular momentum, the initial angular momentum of the system is equal to final angular momentum of the system,

Rearrange the equation we have that

$I_1\omega_2 = I_2\omega_2$

$\omega_2 = \frac{I_1\omega_2}{I_2}$

$\omega_2 = \frac{0.01*150rpm}{0.0225}$

$\omega_2 = 66.67rpm$

The magnitude of the turntable's angular velocity is 66.67rpm

Four velcro-lined air-hockey disks collide with each other in a perfectly

Reil [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of the final velocity is approximately 0.526 m/s in approximately the direction of 8.746° East of South

Explanation:

The given collision parameters are;

The kind of collision experienced by the four velcro-lined air-hockey disk = Inelastic collision

The mass of the first disk, m₁ = 50.0 g

The velocity of the first disk, v₁ = 0.80 m/s West = -0.8·i

The mass of the second disk, m₂ = 60.0 g

The velocity of the second disk, v₂ = 2.50 m/s North = 2.5·j

The mass of the third disk, m₃ = 100.0 g

The velocity of the third disk, v₃ = 0.20 m/s East = 0.20·i

The mass of the fourth disk, m₄ = 40.0 g

The velocity of the fourth disk, v₄ = 0.50 m/s South = -0.50·j

Therefore, the total initial momentum of the four velcro-lined air-hockey disk, $\Sigma P_{initial}$ is given as follows;

$\Sigma P_{initial}$ = m₁·v₁ + m₂·v₂ + m₃·v₃ + m₄·v₄ = 50.0×(-0.80·i) + 60.0×(2.50·j) + 100 × (0.20·i) + 40.0 × (-0.50·j)

∴ $\Sigma P_{initial}$ = -40·i + 150·j + 20·i - 20·j = -20·i + 130·j

∴ $\Sigma P_{initial}$ = -20·i + 130·j

By the law of conservation of linear momentum, we have;

$\Sigma P_{initial} = \Sigma P _{final}$ = -20·i + 130·j

Therefore, given that the collision is perfectly inelastic, the disks move as one after the collision and the four masses are added to form one mass, "m", m = m₁ + m₂ + m₃ + m₄ = 50.0 + 60.0 + 100.0 + 40.0 = 250.0

∴ m = 250.0 g

Let, "v" represent the final velocity of the four disks moving as one after the collision

We have;

$\Sigma P _{final}$ = m × v = 250.0 × v = -20·i + 130·j

∴ v = -20·i/250 + 130·j/250 = -0.08·i + 0.52·j

The final velocity of the four disks after collision, v = -0.08·i + 0.52·j

The magnitude of the final velocity, $\left | v \right |$ = √((-0.08)² + (0.52)²) ≈ 0.526

$\left | v \right |$ ≈ 0.526 m/s

The direction of the final velocity, θ = arctan(0.52/(-0.08)) ≈ -81.254°

The direction of the final velocity, θ ≈ -81.254° which is 8.746° East of South
