Personally, I agree with your answer, namely that the likely-intended event happening here is one of acceleration. Having said that, I also want to add: it pains me to see this type of wording because, clearly, it is vague and only invites confusion of the type you are talking about.

Good luck!

The inductance of a closely packed coil of 560 turns is 8.9 mH. Calculate the magnetic flux through the coil when the current is

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

$0.11\times 10^{-6}weber$

Explanation:

We have given number of turns N = 560

Inductance L = 8.9 mH

Current through the coil = 7 mA

Inductance of the coil is given as $L=\frac{N\Phi }{I}$

Where N is number of turns I is current and $\Phi$ is flux

So $\Phi =\frac{LI}{N}=\frac{8.9\times 10^{-3}\times 7\times 10^{-3}}{560}=0.11\times 10^{-6}weber$

A 500-g lump of clay is dropped onto a 1-kg cart moving at 60 cm/s. The clay is moving downward at 30 cm/s just before l dith t

viktelen [127]

Answer:

The speed of the cart and clay after the collision is 50 cm/s .

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of lump , m = 500 g = 0.5 kg .

Velocity of lump , v = 30 cm/s .

Mass of cart , M = 1 kg .

Velocity of cart , V = 60 cm/s .

We know by conservation of momentum :

$mv+MV=(m+M)v'$

Here , $v'$ is the speed of the cart and clay after the collision .

Putting all value in above equation .

We get :

$0.5\times 30+1\times 60=(0.5+1)\times v'\\\\v'=\dfrac{15+60}{1.5}\\\\v'=50\ cm/s$

Hence , this is the required solution .

An object is allowed to fall freely near the surface of a planet. The object has an acceleration due to gravity of 24 m/s2. How

Alborosie

Answer:

12 m

Explanation:

The object is in uniformly accelerated motion, so the distance covered can be found using the following suvat equation:

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where

s is the distance

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

For this problem,

$g=24 m/s^2$

and

u = 0, since we are considering the first second of motion

So, substituting t = 1 s, we find

$s=0+\frac{1}{2}(24)(1)^2=12 m$
