Answer:

When meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere (or that of another planet, like Mars) at high speed and burn up, the fireballs or “shooting stars” are called meteors. When a meteoroid survives a trip through the atmosphere and hits the ground, it's called a meteorite.

Answer: Meteoroid: Small particle from a comet or asteroid orbiting the Sun. Meteor: The light phenomena which results from a meteoroid entering the Earth's atmosphere and vaporizing; this is basically a shooting star. Meteorite: A meteoroid that survives through the Earth's atmosphere and lands on the Earth's surface.

Moving a magnet inside a coil of wire will induce a voltage in the coil. How can the voltage in the coil be increased?

mr_godi [17]

As the magnet is moved inside a coil of wire, the number of lines of magnetic field passing through the coil changes. Faraday stated that : it is the change in the number of field lines passing through the the coil of wire that induces emf in the loop. Specifically, it is the rate of change in the number of magnetic field lines passing through the loop that determines the induced emf. There is a term called magnetic flux same as electric flux, this magnetic flux can be a measure of the number of field lines passing through a surface. It is given by ( Φ=ΣB. dA. Where B is magnetic field and dA is small elementary area). The induced emf is given by (ξ = dΦ/dt). This equation states that THE MAGNITUDE OF THE INDUCED CURRENT IN A CIRCUIT IS EQUAL TO THE RATE AT WHICH THE MAGNETIC FLUX THROUGH THE CIRCUIT IS CHANGING WITH TIME. So more rapid you move the coil, more will be the change in flux and hence more emf will be produced. So option D is the correct answer. I hope this long description will help you out.

Answer:

The force is applicable according to the newton's third law of motion but the force on the engine is compensated in the form of stess on the fixed parts and rigid links whereas the wheel is free to roll.

Explanation:

This interpretation that the engine applies a force on the train and the train also applies an equal force on the engine and hence the train should not move is wrong because the engine imparts a rotational force in the form of torque on the train and the train imparts an equal force on the engine in the opposite direction but the engine is fixed like a structure on the chassis of the train and consists of rigid links which resist the motion and deformation as compared to the relative motion between the wheels and the rail tracks.
