A mini rail gun made of a copper rod of mass m and radius r rests on two parallel copper rails that are a distance L apart and o

f length d. A magnetic field of magnitude B is directed perpendicular to the rod and the rails. When current is applied to the parallel copper rails, the rod rolls along the rails without slipping. If the rod starts from rest, what is the speed of the rod as it leaves the rails?

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnetic Force on the rod  F = Bi L

Work done by this force = F X d

=  Bi Ld

This energy is converted into both rotational and linear kinetic energy

= 1/2 I ω² + 1/2 mv²

= 1/2 x 1/2 m r²ω²+ 1/2 mv²

= 1/4 m v² + 1/2 mv²

= 3/4 mv²

So according to conservation of energy

Bi Ld =  3/4 mv²

v = \sqrt{\frac{4BiLd}{3m} }

A mature thunderstorm will contain both updrafts and downdrafts. True or False
jasenka [17]

A mature thunderstorm will contain both updraft and downdrafts. The given statement is true.

When the cumulus cloud becomes very large, the water in it becomes large and heavy. Raindrops start to fall through the cloud when the rising air can no longer hold them up. Meanwhile, cool dry air starts to enter the cloud. Because cool air is heavier than warm air, it starts to descend in the cloud (known as a downdraft). The downdraft pulls the heavy water downward, making rain.

This cloud has become a cumulonimbus cloud because it has an updraft, a downdraft, and rain. Thunder and lightning start to occur, as well as heavy rain. The cumulonimbus is now a thunderstorm cell.

Newton's second law of motion can also be described as...
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer


B. F=ma



Explanation

The Newton's laws of motion tries to explain the how bodies behave and the energy changes when theys are in motion. For the 3 of them to hold, the bodies must be moving in a straight line and with constant velocity.

The second one states that, "the change of momentum of a moving body is directly proportional to the force producing it and it takes place to the direction of force."

From the choices given, the appropriate answer is B. F=ma
