An 0.80-m aluminum bar is held with its length parallel to the east-west direction and dropped from a bridge. Just before the ba

r hits the river below, its speed is 23 m/s, and the emf induced across its length is 5.5 x 10-4 V. Assuming the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field at the location of the bar points directly north, (a) determine the magnitude of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field.(b) state whether the east end or the west end of the bar is positive.

Answer:

a) B=2.9891\times 10^{-5}\,T

b)  west end of the bar is positive.

Explanation:

Given:

  • emf induced in the bar, \epsilon=5.5\times 10^{-4}\,V
  • length of the bar, l=0.8\,m
  • velocity of the bar at the given instant, v=23\,m.s^{-1}

(a)

The magnitude of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field(B):

We know:

\epsilon=B.l.v

5.5\times 10^{-4}=B\times 0.8\times 23

B=2.9891\times 10^{-5}\,T

(b)

Using Fleming's left hand rule we determine that the current is flowing towards east end of the bar i.e. west end of the bar is positive.

4.5 billion km, the average separation between the sun and Neptune (report answer in hours). How long does it take light to trav
Liula [17]

Answer:

t = 4.17 hours

Explanation:

given,

The distance between Sun and Neptune, d = 4.5 billion Km

                                                                         = 4.5 x 10⁹ Km

                                                                          = 4.5 x 10¹¹ m

The velocity of light, c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

The velocity is always equal to displacement by the time.

                                           <em>V = d / t    m/s</em>

∴                                           t = d / V

                                               = 4.5 x 10¹¹ m / 3 x 10⁸ m/s

                                               = 15,000 s

                                               = 4.17 h

Hence, the time taken by the light rays to reach the Neptune is, t = 4.17 h

A 1500 kg car, initially traveling at 22.0 m/s, hits its brakes and skids to a stop. Determine the work done by friction.
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

<em>The work done by the car is 363 kJ</em>

Explanation:

Work : Work is said to be done when a Force moves an object through a certain distance. Work and Energy are interchangeable because they have the same unit. The unit of work is Joules (J).

Mathematically work done can be expressed as,

E = W = 1/2mv²

W =  1/2mv²................................ Equation 1

Where E = Energy, W = work done, m = mass of the car, v = velocity of the car

<em>Given: m=1500 kg, v=22 m/s</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1</em>

<em>W = 1/2(1500)(22)²</em>

<em>W = 750 × 484</em>

<em>W = 363000 J</em>

<em>W = 363 kJ</em>

<em>Thus the work done by the car is 363 kJ</em>

Which of the following concepts best explains why a mass of low-density material in the mantle rises?Multiple Choice Strain Buoy
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Bouyancy

Explanation:

Bouyancy occurs when the upthrust exerted on an object is equal to the weight of object displaced. It is mostly applicable to low density objects for example balloon. When balloon is displaced in water, it floats. This is due to the effect of the upthrust acting on the balloon which allows the balloon to float and which is opposite the weight.

Note that the weight acts downwards the object while the upthrust always acts opposite (upward)
