Answer:

C. The total distance is 105 kilometers and the total displacement is 15 kilometers east.

Explanation:

The main difference between distance and displacement is that: distance is a measure of the total length traveled along the road, the displacement only takes into account the length between the initial (departure) and final (arrival) position.

So the boat traveled 105 km, but the displacement between the start and finish point is only 15 km.

A car battery with a 12 V emf and an internal resistance of 0.11 Ω is being charged with a current of 56 A. What are (a) the pot
denpristay [2]

Answer:

Part a)

V = 18.16 V

Part b)

P_r = 345 Watt

Part c)

P = 672 Watt

Part d)

V = 5.84 V

Part e)

P_r = 345 Watt

Explanation:

Part a)

When battery is in charging mode

then the potential difference at the terminal of the cell is more than its EMF and it is given as

\Delta V = E + i r

here we have

E = 12 V

i = 56 A

r = 0.11

now we have

\Delta V = 12 + (0.11)(56) = 18.16 V

Part b)

Rate of energy dissipation inside the battery is the energy across internal resistance

so it is given as

P_r = i^2 r

P_r = 56^2 (0.11)

P_r = 345 W

Part c)

Rate of energy conversion into EMF is given as

P_{emf} = i E

P_{emf} = (56)(12)

P_{emf} = 672 Watt

Now battery is giving current to other circuit so now it is discharging

now we have

Part d)

V = E - i r

V = 12 - (56)(0.11)

V = 12 - 6.16 = 5.84 V

Part e)

now the rate of energy dissipation is given as

P_r = i^2 r

P_r = 56^2 (0.11)

P_r = 345 W

The magnetic field at the equator points north. If you throw a positively charged object (for example, a baseball with some elec
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The magnetic force points in the positive z-direction, which corresponds to the upward direction.

Option 2 is correct, the force points in the upwards direction.

Explanation:

The magnetic force on any charge is given as the cross product of qv and B

F = qv × B

where q = charge on the ball thrown = +q (Since it is positively charged)

v = velocity of the charged ball = (+vî) (velocity is in the eastern direction)

B = Magnetic field = (+Bj) (Magnetic field is in the northern direction; pointing forward)

F = qv × B = (+qvî) × (Bj)

F =

| î j k |

| qv 0 0|

| 0 B 0

F = i(0 - 0) - j(0 - 0) + k(qvB - 0)

F = (qvB)k N

The force is in the z-direction.

We could also use the right hand rule; if we point the index finger east (direction of the velocity), the middle finger northwards (direction of the magnetic field), the thumb points in the upward direction (direction of the magnetic force). Hence, the magnetic force is acting upwards, in the positive z-direction too.

Hope this Helps!!!

Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of a 0.56 kg ball moving with a constant velocity of 26 m/s (about 60 mi/h)
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The de Broglie wavelength of a 0.56 kg ball moving with a constant velocity of 26 m/s is 4.55×10⁻³⁵ m.

<h3>De Broglie wavelength:</h3>

The wavelength that is incorporated with the moving object and it has the relation with the momentum of that object and mass of that object. It is inversely proportional to the momentum of that moving object.

λ=h/p

Where, λ is the de Broglie wavelength, h is the Plank constant, p is the momentum of the moving object.

Whereas, p=mv, m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity of the moving object.

Therefore, λ=h/(mv)

λ=(6.63×10⁻³⁴)/(0.56×26)

λ=4.55×10⁻³⁵ m.

The de Broglie wavelength associated with the object weight 0.56 kg moving with the velocity of 26 m/s is λ=4.55×10⁻³⁵ m.
