Hello!

Most ocean waves obtain their energy and motion from the wind.

Ocean waves are surface waves that move across the surface of the ocean. When wind touches the surface of the water, there is friction in the contact zone. This friction causes a drag effect, that makes wrinkles on the surface of the water. As the wrinkles get bigger, they transform into full-blown waves, and the taller the wave, the more energy it can extract from the wind, making them even bigger and to move longer distances.

Have a nice day!

You are designing a generator with a maximum emf 8.0 V. If the generator coil has 200 turns and a cross-sectional area of 0.030

shutvik [7]

Answer:

7.1 Hz

Explanation:

In a generator, the maximum induced emf is given by

$\epsilon= 2\pi NAB f$

where

N is the number of turns in the coil

A is the area of the coil

B is the magnetic field strength

f is the frequency

In this problem, we have

N = 200

$A=0.030 m^2$

$\epsilon=8.0 V$

B = 0.030 T

So we can re-arrange the equation to find the frequency of the generator:

$f=\frac{\epsilon}{2\pi NAB}=\frac{8.0 V}{2\pi (200)(0.030 m^2)(0.030 T)}=7.1 Hz$

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

$E = (0.56 \times 10^8 ) r \ \ N/c$

Explanation:

Given that:

$\rho_o = (10^{-3} ) \ c/m^3$

R = (0.1) m

To find the electric field for r < R by using Gauss Law

${\oint}E^{\to}* da^{\to} = \dfrac{Q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon_o} --- (1)$

For r < R

$Q_{enclosed}=(\rho) ( \pi r^2 ) l$

$E*(2 \pi rl)= \dfrac{\rho ( \pi r ^2 l)}{\varepsilon_o}$

$E= \dfrac{\rho ( r)}{2 \varepsilon_o}$

where;

$\varepsilon_o = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}$

$E= \dfrac{10^{-3} ( r)}{2 (8.85 \times 10^{-12})}$

$E = (0.56 \times 10^8 ) r \ \ N/c$

A spacecraft is in a circular Earth orbit at an altitude of 6000 km . By how much will its altitude decrease if it moves to a ne

blagie [28]

Answer:

a) 2148 km = 2150 km

b) 840 km

Explanation:

The force keeping the satellite in circular motion is the force given by Netwon's gravitational law

Centripetal force = (mv²/r)

Force due to Newton's law of gravitation = (GMm/r²)

where m = mass of satellite

M = mass of the earth

G = Gravitational constant

v = velocity of the satellite

r = radius of circular orbit

(mv²/r) = (GMm/r²)

v² = (GM/r)

Meaning that the square of the velocity of orbit is inversely proportional to the radius of circular orbit. (Since G and M are constants)

v² = (k/r)

when v = v₀, r = 6000 + 6378 = 12,378 km (the radius of orbit = 6000 km + radius of the earth)

v₀² = (k/12,378)

K = 12378v₀²

When the velocity increases by 10%, v₁ = 1.1v₀, the square of the new velocity = (1.1v₀)² = 1.21v₀² and the new radius of orbit = r₁

1.21v₀² = (k/r₁)

r₁ = (k/1.21v₀²)

Recall, k = 12378v₀²

r₁ = 12378v₀² ÷ 1.21v₀² = 10,229.75 km

10,229.75 km = (10,229.75 - 6378) km altitude above the Earth's surface

New altitude of orbit = 3851.75 km

Decrease in altitude = 6000 - 3851.75 = 2148 km

b) The period of orbit is related to the radius of orbit through Kepler's Law

T² ∝ R³

T² = kR³

When the period of orbit is T₀, Radius of orbit = R₀ = (6000 + 6378) = 12378 km (Earth's radius = 6378 km)

T₀² = kR₀³

T₀² = k(12378)³

k = (T₀²) ÷ (12378)³

When the period reduces by 10%, T₁ = 0.90T₀ and the new radius of orbit = R₁

T₁² = kR₁³

(0.90T₀)² = kR₁³

0.81T₀² = kR₁³

R₁³ = (0.81T₀²) ÷ k

Recall, k = (T₀²)/(12378)³

R₁³ = (0.81T₀²) ÷ [(T₀²)/(12378)³]

R₁³ = 1,536,160,005,663.1

R₁ = ∛(1,536,160,005,663.1) = 11,538.4 km

New Altitude = R₁ - (Radius of the Earth)

= 11,538.4 - 6378 = 5160.4 km

Decrease in altitude = 6000 - 5160.4 = 839.6 km = 840 km

Hope this Helps!!!
