Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

A metal detector is usually defined as an instrument that is commonly used to detect the presence of metals in the bags and luggage. It is very widely used in places like airports, railway stations, and other important official places.

This device is generally activated with the help of electromagnetic induction. It contains a single or numerous inducting coils which are connected to the elements placed on the ground surface. These used materials are metallic in nature. Within the region of the electromagnetic field, when any metallic substance enters, it immediately gains energy and thereby transmits an electromagnetic field of its own.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

An object has a velocity of 8m/s and a kinetic energy of 480 j what is the mass of the object
MariettaO [177]
Kinetic energy=Ek
Ek=(1/2)mv²
Ek=480 J
v=8 m/s
mass=?

Ek=(1/2)mv²
480 J=(1/2)m(8 m/s)²
480 J=(32 m²/s²) m
m=(480 J)/(32 m²/s²)=15 kg

answer: the mass of the object is 15 kilograms.

There is a gas pressure in a container that is 123kPa what is the pressure in atmospheres ?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

In strict SI units (highly recommended), express n in moles, R is the universal gas constant R=8.314Jmol−K , T is the temperature in Kelvins, and the volume V is in m3 . The resulting pressure P will be in Pa. R=0.082054L−atmmol−K , in which case the pressure is calculated in atm.
