What is unique about the rotation of Uranus, and what caused it?

2 answers:

Sample Response: The axis of Uranus is tilted so that it appears to be rotating on its side. This may have been caused by a collision with a planet-sized body, which dramatically changed Uranus's rotation.

Uranus rotates on its side. Its axial tilt is 97.8 degrees, which is 74.3 degrees more than Earth. Scientists suspect that it may have been caused by a collision or series of collisions, although they believe it is probably more complicated than that.

A satellite, orbiting the earth at the equator at an altitude of 400 km, has an antenna that can be modeled as a 1.76-m-long rod

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The inducerd emf is 1.08 V

Solution:

As per the question:

Altitude of the satellite, H = 400 km

Length of the antenna, l = 1.76 m

Magnetic field, B = $8.0\times 10^{- 5}\ T$

Now,

When a conducting rod moves in a uniform magnetic field linearly with velocity, v, then the potential difference due to its motion is given by:

$e = - l(vec{v}\times \vec{B})$

Here, velocity v is perpendicular to the rod

Thus

e = lvB (1)

For the orbital velocity of the satellite at an altitude, H:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{Gm_{E}}{R_{E}} + H}$

where

G = Gravitational constant

$m_{e} = 5.972\times 10^{24}\ kg$ = mass of earth

$R_{E} = 6371\ km$ = radius of earth

$v = \sqrt{\frac{6.67\times 10^{- 11}\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{6371\times 1000 + 400\times 1000} = 7670.018\ m/s$

Using this value value in eqn (1):

$e = 1.76\times 7670.018\times 8.0\times 10^{- 5} = 1.08\ V$

Accelerating charges radiate electromagnetic waves. Calculate the wavelength of radiation produced by a proton of mass mp moving

Iteru [2.4K]

Explanation:

Let $m_p$ is the mass of proton. It is moving in a circular path perpendicular to a magnetic field of magnitude B.

The magnetic force is balanced by the centripetal force acting on the proton as :

$\dfrac{mv^2}{r}=qvB$

r is the radius of path,

$r=\dfrac{mv}{qB}$

Time period is given by :

$T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v}$

$T=\dfrac{2\pi m_p}{qB}$

Frequency of proton is given by :

$f=\dfrac{1}{T}=\dfrac{qB}{2\pi m_p}$

The wavelength of radiation is given by :

$\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{2\pi m_pc}{qB}$

So, the wavelength of radiation produced by a proton is $\dfrac{2\pi m_pc}{qB}$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

"The burning of fossil fuels and ___________ from nuclear power provide about 87% of the energy used in the world."

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Explanation:

"The burning of fossil fuels , oil and natural and power from nuclear power provide about 87% of the energy used in the world.

Coal, natural gas, petroleum and nuclear power are the major energy providers to the whole world. Till date we are heavily depend on them. They provide for about 87% of the total energy used in the world.
