Answer:

converts mechanical energy into electrical energy by rotating a coil of wire in a magnetic field

Explanation:

generator is based on the principle of Electromagnetic Induction given by Faraday's law.

As per above law rate of change in magnetic flux will induce EMF in closed coil.

$EMF = \frac{d\phi}{dt}$

here we know

$\phi = BAcos\theta$

so we will have

$EMF = \frac{d}{dt}(BAcos\theta)$

$EMF = BA\omega sin\theta$

so in this way if we rotate a coil between magnetic field of strong magnets by using mechanical energy then it will produce electric energy.

Th correct option is D.
A generator operates by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy by rotating coils of wire around magnetic field. There are two types of generator, a direct current generator and an alternating current generator.

An artillery shell is fired with an initial velocity of 300 m/s at 52.0° above the horizontal. To clear an avalanche, it explode

sasho [114]

The x- and y-coordinates are 9142.57 m and -304.425 m

<u>Explanation:</u>

As the motion of the shell is in a plane (two dimensional space) and the acceleration is that due to gravity which is vertically downward, we resolve initial velocity of the shell $v_{0}$ in horizontal and vertical directions. If the initial velocity of the shell is making angle with the horizontal, the horizontal component of initial velocity will be

$v_{x}=v_{0} \times \cos \theta$

As the acceleration of the shell is vertical having no horizontal component, the shell may be considered to move horizontally with constant velocity of $v_{x}$ and hence the horizontal distance covered (or the x coordinate of the shell with point of projection as origin) is given by

$v_{x}=v_{o} \times \cos \theta=300 \times \cos \left(52^{\circ}\right)=184.69 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$

$v_{y}=v_{o} \times \sin \theta==300 \times \sin \left(52^{\circ}\right)=236.4 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$

For motion with constant acceleration, we know

$s=s_{0}+v_{0} t+\left(\frac{(1)}{2}\right) a t^{2}$

Along the horizontal, x-axis, we might write this as

$x=x_{0}+v_{x 0} t+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) a_{x} t^{2}$

Measuring distances relative to the firing point means

$x_{0}=0$

we know that,

$a_{x}=0$

or,

$v_{x}=v_{x 0}=\text { constant }$

By applying the values, we get,

$x=0+(184.69 \times 49.5)+\left(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \times 0 \times(49.5)^{2}\right)=9142.57 \mathrm{m}$

The acceleration of gravity is vertically downward and is $g=-9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ , hence the vertical distance covered (or y coordinate of the shell) is given by the second equation of motion

$y=y_{0}+v_{y 0} t+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) a_{y} t^{2}$

we know, $y_{0}=0$ and $a_{y}=-9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ , so,

$y=0+(236.4 \times 49.5)+\left(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \times(-9.8) \times(49.5)^{2}\right)$

y = 11701.8 - 4.9(2450.25)= 11701.8 - 12006.225 = - 304.425 m

In a horse cart system when would there be the smallest amount of acceleration

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

well... when the horse stops/rests, or if it is blocked by a surface or anything of solid background.

Explanation:

If it is going up a hill or slope and it just starts to move that would also be considered the smallest amount of acceleration this can go for many things when it just starts to move. but I would go for when it rests amounting to your fitting of the question.
