A river 500 ft wide flows with a speed of 8 ft/s with respect to the earth. A woman swims with a speed of 4 ft/s with respect to

the water.
1) If the woman heads directly across the river, how far downstream is she swept when she reaches the opposite bank?
2) If she wants to be swept a smaller distance downstream, she heads a bit upstream. Suppose she orients her body in the water at an angle of 37° upstream (where 0° means heading straight accross, how far downstream is she swept before reaching the opposite bank?
3) For the conditions, how long does it take for her to reach the opposite bank?

Answer:

1) \Delta s=1000\ ft

2)  \Delta s'=998.11\ ft.s^{-1}

3) t\approx125\ s

t'\approx463.733\ s

Explanation:

Given:

width of river, w=500\ ft

speed of stream with respect to the ground, v_s=8\ ft.s^{-1}

speed of the swimmer with respect to water, v=4\ ft.s^{-1}

<u>Now the resultant of the two velocities perpendicular to each other:</u>

v_r=\sqrt{v^2+v_s^2}

v_r=\sqrt{4^2+8^2}

v_r=8.9442\ ft.s^{-1}

<u>Now the angle of the resultant velocity form the vertical:</u>

\tan\beta=\frac{v_s}{v}

\tan\beta=\frac{8}{4}

\beta=63.43^{\circ}

  • Now the distance swam by the swimmer in this direction be d.

so,

d.\cos\beta=w

d\times \cos\ 63.43=500

d=1118.034\ ft

Now the distance swept downward:

\Delta s=\sqrt{d^2-w^2}

\Delta s=\sqrt{1118.034^2-500^2}

\Delta s=1000\ ft

2)

On swimming 37° upstream:

<u>The velocity component of stream cancelled by the swimmer:</u>

v'=v.\cos37

v'=4\times \cos37

v'=3.1945\ ft.s^{-1}

<u>Now the net effective speed of stream sweeping the swimmer:</u>

v_n=v_s-v'

v_n=8-3.1945

v_n=4.8055\ ft.s^{-1}

<u>The  component of swimmer's velocity heading directly towards the opposite bank:</u>

v'_r=v.\sin37

v'_r=4\sin37

v'_r=2.4073\ ft.s^{-1}

<u>Now the angle of the resultant velocity of the swimmer from the normal to the stream</u>:

\tan\phi=\frac{v_n}{v'_r}

\tan\phi=\frac{4.8055}{2.4073}

\phi=63.39^{\circ}

  • Now let the distance swam in this direction be d'.

d'\times \cos\phi=w

d'=\frac{500}{\cos63.39}

d'=1116.344\ ft

<u>Now the distance swept downstream:</u>

\Delta s'=\sqrt{d'^2-w^2}

\Delta s'=\sqrt{1116.344^2-500^2}

\Delta s'=998.11\ ft.s^{-1}

3)

Time taken in crossing the rive in case 1:

t=\frac{d}{v_r}

t=\frac{1118.034}{8.9442}

t\approx125\ s

Time taken in crossing the rive in case 2:

t'=\frac{d'}{v'_r}

t'=\frac{1116.344}{2.4073}

t'\approx463.733\ s

A point charge of 5.7 µc moves at 4.5 × 105 m/s in a magnetic field that has a field strength of 3.2 mt, as shown in the diagram
Sauron [17]

The magnitude of the force on the charge by the influence of the magnetic field will be 6.6*10^-3 N

<h3>What is magnetic force?</h3>

Magnetic force, attraction or repulsion that arises between electrically charged particles because of their motion.The magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the charge is given by:

\rm F=qvBsin\theta

where

The magnitude of the charge   q=5.7\ \mu C =5.7\times 10^{-6} \ C

The velocity of the charge        v=4.5\times 10^5\ \frac{m}{s}

The magnitude of the magnetic field   3.2\ mT=0.0032\ T

The angle between the directions of v and B  \theta =90^o-37^o=53^o

By substituting the values we will get:

F=(5.7\times 10^}-6})(4.5\times 10^5)(0.0032)(Sin53^o)

F=6.6\times 10^{-3}\ N

Hence the magnitude of the force on the charge by the influence of the magnetic field will be 6.6*10^-3 N

An emf is induced in a conducting loop of wire 1.22 m long as its shape is changed from square to circular. Find the average mag
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

The induced emf in the loop is 7.35\times 10^{-4}\ V

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the wire, L = 1.22 m

It changes its shape is changed from square to circular. Then the side of square be its circumference, 4a = L

4a = 1.22

a = 0.305 m

Area of square, A=a^2=(0.305)^2=0.0930\ m^2

Circumference of the loop,

C=2\pi r=L\\\\r=\dfrac{L}{2\pi}\\\\r=\dfrac{1.22}{2\pi}=0.194\ m

Area of circle,

A'=\pi r^2\\A'=\pi (0.194)^2\\\\A'=0.118\ m^2

The induced emf is given by :

\epsilon=\dfrac{\d\phi}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=\dfrac{\d(BA)}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=B\dfrac{A'-A}{t}\\\\\epsilon=0.125 \times \dfrac{0.118-0.0930}{4.25}\\\\\epsilon=7.35\times 10^{-4}\ V

So, the induced emf in the loop is 7.35\times 10^{-4}\ V
