n the metric system the acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface is about 9.81 meters per second per second. What is the

acceleration due to gravity as measured in the English system, that is, in feet per second per second? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

Answer:

32.2\frac{ft}{s^2}

Explanation:

To do this conversion we have to know that:

1ft=0.3048m

(It is easy to find this value on physics textbooks or internet physics webpages)

So, we should convert the gravitational acceleration in the next way:

9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}}=9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}}*\frac{1ft}{0.3048m}

So, the meters cancel out:

9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}}=9.81\frac{1}{s^{2}}*\frac{1ft}{0.3048}=32.18\frac{ft}{s^2}

9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}}=32.2\frac{ft}{s}

Describe, using the relevant physics, how moving a magnet near a [ 1 2 ] solenoid induces a voltage across it. How does the spee
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Explanation:

Moving a magnet might cause a change in the magnetic field going through the solenoid. Whether or not it will change depends on the movement.

According to Faraday's law of induction a voltage is induced in a coil by a change in the magnetic flux. Magnetic flux is defined as the dot product of the magnetic field (a vector field) by the area enclosed by a loop of the coil.

\Phi B = -\int{B} \, dA

The voltage is induced by the variation of the magnetic flux:

\epsilon = -N * \frac{d \Phi B}{dt}

Where

ε: electromotive fore

N: number of turns in the coil

ΦB: magnetic flux

Moving the magnet faster would increase the rare of change of the magnetic flux, resulting in higher induced voltage.

Turning the magnet upside down would invert the direction of the magnetic field, reversing the voltage induced.

In which situation is no work considered to be done by a force?
andre [41]
If the angle is either 0 or 180, that means that there is either negative or positive work, so A and D are not correct.
If the angle is 45, then there is still some work involved.
The only option where there is no work done by a force is B. when the angle is between the force and displacement is 90.
