Let us follow the motion of the hammer first. Because the elevator is in motion, when he drops the hammer, because of inertia, there is a slight moment when the hammer also rises with the elevator. Eventually it will reach its highest peak and drop down to the floor. So, the total time for the hammer to reach the floor would include: (1) the time for it to rise with the elevator to its highest peak and (2) the time for the free fall from the highest peak to the floor.

1.) Time for it to rise with the elevator to its highest peak:
      Hmax = v²/2g = (6 m/s)²/2(9.81 m/s²) = 1.835 m
      Time to reach 1.835 m = 1.835 m * 1 s/6 m = 0.306 s
     
     Time for the free fall from the highest peak to the floor:
      t = √2y/g, where y is the total height
      y = 1.835 m + 42 m = 43.835 m
      So,
      t = √2(43.835 m )/(9.81 m/s²) = 2.989 s

      Therefore, the total time is 0.306 s + 2.989 s = 3.3 seconds

2.) Velocity of impact of a free-falling body is:
      v = √2gy
      v = √2(9.81 m/s²)(43.835 m)
      v = 29.33 m/s

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
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius r = 15cm = 0.15m

Area of the circular loop can be determined using the formula for area of a circle

A = π r²

A = π × 0.15²

A = 0.0708 m²

Magnetic field B = 1.2T in positive z direction

B = 1.2 •k T.

If loop is remove from the field in the time interval

∆t = 2.3ms = 2.3×10^-3s

We want to find the average EMF and it is given as

ε = —∆Φ/∆t

The final flux is zero

Φf = 0

Where magnetic flux is given as

Φi = BA Cosθ

Where θ=0 since the area and the magnetic field point in the same direction.

Φi = BA Cos0

Φi = BA

Φi = 1.2 × 0.0708

Φi = 0.0848 Vs

Then, ε = —∆Φ/∆t

ε = —(Φf — Φi) / ∆t

ε = —(0-0.0848) / (2.3×10^-3)

ε = 0.0848 / (2.3×10^-3)

ε = 36.88 V

The EMF is 36.88 Volts

Answer: ANULAR ECLIPSE. Since the moon is too far, it will cover only a part of the sun, and only the external ring of the moon will be visible; this is called anular eclipse.

2) </span><span>anyone looking from the night side of earth can, in principle, see a -->
Answer: LUNAR ECLIPSE. If the moon is the right position, and the Earth's shadow covers partially or totally the moon, then a lunar eclipse occurs.

Answer: PENUMBRA. 

4) </span><span>a ... can occur only when the moon is new and has an angular size larger than the sun in the sky -->
Answer: TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE. When the moon is new, it means it is between the sun and the Earth, and its dark side faces the Earth. If the moon's angular size is also larger than the sun angular size, than it will completely cover the sun, and a total solar eclipse occurs.

Answer: SHADOW. The Earth's shadow will start to cover the moon, and partial lunar eclipse will start.

Answer: NODE. Eclipses occur only when the Moon is at or close to a node, otherwise sun, earth and moon are not "aligned".</span>
