"On a movie set, an alien spacecraft is to be lifted to a height of 32.0 m for use in a scene. The 260.0-kg spacecraft is attach

ed by ropes to a massless pulley on a crane, and four members of the film's construction crew lift the prop at constant speed by delivering 135 W of power each. If 18.0% of the mechanical energy delivered to the pulley is lost to friction, what is the time interval required to lift the spacecraft to the specified height?"

Answer:

<em>The time interval required to lift the spacecraft to this specified height is 123.94 seconds</em>

Explanation:

Height through which the spacecraft is to be lifted = 32.0 m

Mass of the spacecraft = 260.0 kg

Four crew member each pull with a power of 135 W

18.0% of the mechanical energy is lost to friction.

work done in this situation is proportional to the mechanical energy used to move the spacecraft up

work done = (weight of spacecraft) x (the height through which it is lifted)

but the weight of spacecraft = mg

where m is the mass,

and g is acceleration due to gravity 9.81 m/s

weight of spacecraft = 260 x 9.81 = 2550.6 N

work done on the space craft = weight x height

==> work = 2550.6 x 32 = 81619.2 J

this is equal to the mechanical energy delivered to the system

18.0% of this mechanical energy delivered to the pulley is lost to friction.

this means that

0.18 x 81619.2  = <em>14691.456 J  </em> is lost to friction.

Total useful mechanical energy =  81619.2 J - 14691.456 J = 66927.74<em> J</em>

Total power delivered by the crew to do this work = 135 x 4 = 540 W

But we know tat power is the rate at which work is done i.e

P = \frac{w}{t}

where p is the power

where w is the useful work done

t is the time taken to do this work

imputing values, we'll have

540 = 66927.74/t

t = 66927.74/540

time taken t = <em>123.94 seconds</em>

makvit [3.9K]

Explanation:

Following are two interactions that are generally involved when we use a TV remote control to change the channel :

1. Figure touches remote buttons, and its a short range interaction.

2. Now remote sends signal to Television, this is a long range interaction.

A coil has 400 turns and self-inductance 7.50 mH. The current in the coil varies with time according to i = 1680 mA2 cos [πt/(0.
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

(a) 1.58 V

(b) 0.0126 Wb

(c) 0.0493 V

Solution:

As per the question:

No. of turns in the coil, N = 400 turns

Self Inductance of the coil, L = 7.50 mH = 7.50\times 10^{- 3}\ H

Current in the coil, i = 1680cos[\frac{\pi t}{0.0250}] A

where

i_{max} = 1680\ mA = 1.680\ A

Now,

(a)  To calculate the maximum emf:

We know that maximum emf induced in the coil is given by:

e = \frac{Ldi}{dt}

e = L\frac{d}{dt}(1680)cos[\frac{\pi t}{0.0250}]

e = - 7.50\times 10^{- 3}\times \frac{\pi}{0.0250}\times \frac{d}{dt}(1680)sin[\frac{\pi t}{0.0250}]

For maximum emf, sin\theta should be maximum, i.e., 1

Now, the magnitude of the maximum emf is given by:

|e| = 7.50\times 10^{- 3}\times 1680\times 10^{- 3}\times \frac{\pi}{0.0250} = 1.58\ V

(b) To calculate the maximum average flux,we know that:

\phi_{m, avg} = L\times i_{max} = 7.50\times 10^{- 3}\times 1.680 = 0.0126\ Wb

(c) To calculate the magnitude of the induced emf at t = 0.0180 s:

e = e_{o}sin{\pi t}{0.0250}

e = 7.50\times 10^{- 3}\times sin{\pi \times 0.0180}{0.0250} = 2.96\times 10^{- 4} =0.0493\ V

Consider the four quantum numbers of an electron in an atom, n, l, ml, and ms. The energy of an electron in an isolated atom dep
Effectus [21]

Answer:

The energy of an electron in an isolated atom depends on b. n only.

Explanation:

The quantum number n, known as the principal quantum number represents the relative overall energy of each orbital.

The sets of orbitals with the same n value are often referred to as an electron shell, in an isolated atom all electrons in a subshell have exactly the same level of energy.

The principal quantum number comes from the solution of the Schrödinger wave equation, which describes energy in eigenstates E_n, and for the case of an hydrogen atom we have:

E_n=-\cfrac{13.6}{n^2}\, eV

Thus for each value of n we can describe the orbital and the energy corresponding to each electron on such orbital.
