In 1996, NASA performed an experiment called the Tethered Satellite experiment. In this experiment a 2.30 104-m length of wire w

as let out by the space shuttle Atlantis to generate a motional emf. The shuttle had an orbital speed of 7.50 103 m/s, and the magnitude of the earth's magnetic field at the location of the wire was 5.40 10-5 T. If the wire had moved perpendicular to the earth's magnetic field, what would have been the motional emf generated between the ends of the wire?

<h2>emf = 9.3 x 10³</h2>

Explanation:

When a conductor moves in the magnetic field , the emf is generated across its ends . Which can be calculated by the relation

emf  ξ = B x l x v

here B is the magnetic field strength , l is the length of conductor and v is its velocity .

In our question B = 5.4 x 10⁻⁵ T

l = 2.30 x 10⁴ m  and v = 7.5 x 10³

Thus  ξ = 5.4 x 10⁻⁵ x 2.30 x 10⁴ x 7.5 x 10³ = 9.3 x 10³ Volt

A college student is working on her physics homework in her dorm room. Her room contains a total of 6.0 x 10^26 gas molecules. A
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Temperature, T = 3.62 kelvin

Explanation:

It is given that,

Total number of gas molecules, N=6\times 10^{26}

Her body is converting chemical energy into thermal energy at a rate of 125 W, P = 125 W

Time taken, t = 6 min = 360 s

Energy of a gas molecules is given by :

\Delta E =\dfrac{3}{2}NkT

T=\dfrac{2E}{3Nk}, k is Boltzmann constant

T=\dfrac{2\times P\times t}{3Nk}

T=\dfrac{2\times 125\times 360}{3\times 6\times 10^{26}\times 1.38\times 10^{-23}}

T = 3.62 K

So, the temperature increases by 3.62 kelvin. Hence, this is the required solution.

The coefficients of static and kinetic frictions for plastic on wood are 0.50 and 0.40,respectively. How much horizontal force w
IrinaK [193]

The horizontal force needed to start the calculator moving from rest is 1.5 N

What is Kinetic friction?

It is defined as a force that acts between moving surfaces.

The magnitude of the force will depend on the coefficient of kinetic friction between the two materials.

Here,

weight of calculator, N = 3 N

The coefficients of static frictions, µ (static) = 0.50

The coefficients of kinetic frictions, µ (kinetic) = 0.40

Now,

The horizontal force required = The static friction force

F = µ (static) * weight of calculator

F = 0.50 * 3.0

F = 1.5 N

Hence,

The horizontal force needed to start the calculator moving from rest is 1.5 N

Why do polar compounds tend to have higher melting points than nonpolar compounds
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The inter-molecular forces holding non-polar compounds together is low compare to that of polar compounds. Therefore, it will take less energy to break the bond for non-polar compounds and vice versa. That is why polar compounds have higher melting points than non-polar compounds.

A typical helicopter has four blades that rotate at 334 rpm and have a total kinetic energy of 4.55 105 J. What is the magnitude
djyliett [7]

Answer:

the magnitude of the total angular momentum of the blades is <em>743.71 kg·m²</em>

Explanation:

Converting the angular speed into radians per second:

ω = 334 rpm · (2π rad / 1 rev) · (1 min / 60 s)

ω = 34.98 rad/s

The rotational kinetic energy of the blades is given by:

EK = 1/2 I ω²

where

  • I is the moment of inertia
  • ω is the angular speed

Therefore, rearranging the above equation, we get:

1/2 I ω² = EK

I ω² = 2 EK

I = 2(EK) / ω²

I = 2(4.55 × 10⁵ J) / (34.98 rad/s)²

<em>I = 743.71 kg·m²</em>

<em></em>

Therefore, the magnitude of the total angular momentum of the blades is <em>743.71 kg·m²</em>.
