As you read this in your chair, how fast are you moving relative to the chair? relative to the sun?

1 answer:

5 0

To answer this question, you need to know the definition of Relative Motion:
The motion is relative when it depends on a reference point or referencial system. If you know the reference point, you can determine the velocity of an object.
If you are sitting on your chair, you are not moving relative to it (Your speed is 0 km/s); but as you know, our planet moves around the Sun (Traslation Movement) with a speed of 30.0 km/s. Therefore, you are moving 30.0 km/s relative to the sun.

A circular loop of wire with a radius of 15.0 cm and oriented in the horizontal xy-plane is located in a region of uniform magne

Answer:

The average emf that will be induced in the wire loop during the extraction process is 37.9 V

Explanation:

The average emf induced can be calculated from the formula

$Emf = -N\frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}$

Where $N$ is the number of turns

$\Delta \phi$ is the change in magnetic flux

$\Delta t$ is the time interval

The change in magnetic flux is given by

$\Delta \phi = \phi _{f} - \phi _{i}$

Where $\phi _{f}$ is the final magnetic flux

and $\phi _{i}$ is the initial magnetic flux

Magnetic flux is given by the formula

$\phi = BAcos(\theta)$

Where $B$ is the magnetic field

$A$ is the area

and $\theta$ is the angle between the magnetic field and the area.

Initially, the magnetic field and the area are pointed in the same direction, that is, $\theta = 0^{o}$

From the question,

B = 1.5 T

and radius = 15.0 cm = 0.15 m

Since it is a circular loop of wire, the area is given by

$A = \pi r^{2}$

∴ $A = \pi (0.15)^{2}$

$A = 0.0225\pi$

∴ $\phi_{i} = (1.5)(0.0225\pi)cos(0^{o} )$

$\phi_{i} = (1.5)(0.0225\pi)$

( NOTE: $cos (0^{o}) = 1$ )

$\phi_{i} = 0.03375\pi$ Wb

For $\phi_{f}$

The field pointed upwards, that is $\theta = 90^{o}$ . Since $cos (90^{o}) = 0$

Then

$\phi_{f} = 0$

Hence,

$\Delta \phi = 0- 0.03375\pi$

$\Delta \phi = - 0.03375\pi$

From the question

$\Delta t = 2.8 ms = 2.8 \times 10^{-3} s$

Here, $N$ = 1

Hence,

$Emf = -N\frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}$ becomes

$Emf = -(1)\frac{-0.03375\pi}{2.8 \times 10^{-3} }$

$Emf = 37.9 V$

Hence, the average emf that will be induced in the wire loop during the extraction process is 37.9 V.

Thermal energy transfers throughout the water in the beaker. Describe and explain how this happens?

ziro4ka [17]

The transfer of heat between the bottom surface of the beaker and water inside it is due to Convection phenomenon. When a fluid, such as air or a liquid, is heated and then travels away from the source, it carries the thermal energy along. ... The fluid above a hot surface expands, becomes less dense, and rises

What is the magnitude of the kinetic frictional force

Effectus [21]

The magnitude of the kinetic friction force, ƒk, on an object is. Where μk is called the kinetic friction coefficient and |FN| is the magnitude of the normal force of the surface on the sliding object. The kinetic friction coefficient is entirely determined by the materials of the sliding surfaces. hope it helps

A mason is shot with a constant speed of 7.5 x 10²m/sinto a region, when an electric field produces acceleration on the mason of

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Distance, d = 0.1 m

It is given that,

Initial velocity of meson,

Finally, the meson is coming to rest v = 0

Acceleration of the meson, (opposite to initial velocity)

Using third equation of motion as :

s is the distance the meson travelled before coming to rest.

So,

s = 0.1 m

The meson will cover the distance of 0.1 m before coming to rest. Hence, this is the required solution.

A constant force is applied to an object, causing the object to accelerate at 10 m/s^2. What will the acceleration be if: a) The

Liula [17]

What you need to know is that the force is

F=ma

The force is the product of mass and acceleration

this means that the acceleration is

a=F/m

a) The force is halved?
this means that f will be $\frac{F}{2}$ now:

a= $\frac{F}{2m}$

So the accelaration will also he halved (it's the original acceleratation divided by 2)

b) The object's mass is halved?
a= $\frac{F}{m/2}$ =a= $\frac{F2}{m}$

which is the original acceleration times two!! so it will double

c) The force and the object's mass are both halved?
now we have

a= $\frac{F/2}{m/2}$ =a= $\frac{2F}{2m}$ =a= $\frac{F}{m}$

so they will cancel each other out and the acceleration will stay the same!
