<u>Answer:</u> The acceleration of Beth is more than the acceleration of Dewayne.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.

Mathematically,

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where,

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

t = time taken

<u>For Dewayne:</u>

We are given:

$v=12m/s\\u=0m/s\\t=4sec$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$a=\frac{12-0}{4}=3m/s^2$

Acceleration of Dewayne = $3m/s^2$

<u>For Beth:</u>

We are given:

$v=16m/s\\u=0m/s\\t=5sec$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$a=\frac{16-0}{5}=3.2m/s^2$

Acceleration of Beth = $3.2m/s^2$

Hence, the acceleration of Beth is more than the acceleration of Dewayne.

Answer: Beth

Explanation: Dewayne (a) = 12/4 = 3m/s^2.

Beth (a) = 16/5 = 3.2 m/s^2.

So, Beth is the answer.

A coil is wrapped with 300 turns of wire on the perimeter of a circular frame (radius = 8.0 cm). Each turn has the same area, eq

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Approximately 18 volts when the magnetic field strength increases from $\rm 20\; mT$ to $\rm 80\;mT$ at a constant rate.

Explanation:

By the Faraday's Law of Induction, the EMF $\epsilon$ that a changing magnetic flux induces in a coil is:

$\displaystyle \epsilon = N \cdot \frac{d\phi}{dt}$ ,

where

$N$ is the number of turns in the coil, and
$\displaystyle \frac{d\phi}{dt}$ is the rate of change in magnetic flux through this coil.

However, for a coil the magnetic flux $\phi$ is equal to

$\phi = B \cdot A\cdot \cos{\theta}$ ,

where

$B$ is the magnetic field strength at the coil, and
$A\cdot \cos{\theta}$ is the area of the coil perpendicular to the magnetic field.

For this coil, the magnetic field is perpendicular to coil, so $\theta = 0$ and $A\cdot \cos{\theta} = A$ . The area of this circular coil is equal to $\pi\cdot r^{2} = \pi\times 8.0\times 10^{-2}\approx \rm 0.0201062\; m^{2}$ .

$A\cdot \cos{\theta} = A$ doesn't change, so the rate of change in the magnetic flux $\phi$ through the coil depends only on the rate of change in the magnetic field strength $B$ . The size of the magnetic field at the instant that $B = \rm 50\; mT$ will not matter as long as the rate of change in $B$ is constant.

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \frac{d\phi}{dt} &= \frac{\Delta B}{\Delta t}\times A \\&= \rm \frac{80\times 10^{-3}\; T- 20\times 10^{-3}\; T}{20\times 10^{-3}\; s}\times 0.0201062\;m^{2}\\&= \rm 0.0603186\; T\cdot m^{2}\cdot s^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

As a result,

$\displaystyle \epsilon = N \cdot \frac{d\phi}{dt} = \rm 300 \times 0.0603186\; T\cdot m^{2}\cdot s^{-1} \approx 18\; V$ .

Answer

True

Explanation.

Some parts of the earth are prompt to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions landslides and magma movements etc. All this may cause energy movements through the earth inform of a wave. These type of waves are called seismic waves.

valina [46]

Answer:

-0.7 m/s

Explanation:

Initial velocity (u)= 2.5 m/s

Acceleleration (a)= -0.8 m/s^2

Time taken (t) = 4 seconds

Hence,

v=u+at [1st Equation of motion]

v=2.5+-0.8*4

v=2.5-3.2

v=-0.7 m/s

Note that the negative sign indicates that the ball has changed direction and rolls downwards with gravity
