'A' and 'C' are exactly the same circuit, except the voltmeter's terminals are flipped.

'A' is the correct way to hook everything up.

If you start at the positive terminal of the battery, and follow the flow of current through the circuit and around to the negative terminal, you're following the path where the voltage gets lower and lower and lower all the way.

So each time you come to any device in the circuit ... whether it's a resistor or a meter ... you would be hitting the positive side of it first, and then the voltage where you come out on the other side of it would be lower.

So the left side of the resistor is more positive, and the right side is more negative. The voltmeter is connected correctly in 'A', but it's backwards in 'C'. If you connect the voltmeter like in 'C' and turn things on, the voltmeter will try to go <em>down</em> from zero. You can't read the number on it, and It's possible that the voltmeter might be damaged.

Answer:

A) μ = A.m²

B) z = 0.46m

Explanation:

A) Magnetic dipole moment of a coil is given by; μ = NIA

Where;

N is number of turns of coil

I is current in wire

A is area

We are given

N = 300 turns; I = 4A ; d =5cm = 0.05m

Area = πd²/4 = π(0.05)²/4 = 0.001963

So,

μ = 300 x 4 x 0.001963 = 2.36 A.m².

B) The magnetic field at a distance z along the coils perpendicular central axis is parallel to the axis and is given by;

B = (μ_o•μ)/(2π•z³)

Let's make z the subject ;

z = [(μ_o•μ)/(2π•B)] ^(⅓)

Where u_o is vacuum permiability with a value of 4π x 10^(-7) H

Also, B = 5 mT = 5 x 10^(-6) T

Thus,

z = [ (4π x 10^(-7)•2.36)/(2π•5 x 10^(-6))]^(⅓)

Solving this gives; z = 0.46m =

a freight train travels at v=60(1-e^-t) ft/s, where t is the elapsed time in seconds. Determine the distance traeled in tree sec

lesantik [10]

Answer

given,

$v = 60(1-e^{-t})\ ft/s$

t = 3 s

we know,

$v = \dfrac{dx}{dt}$

$a = \dfrac{dv}{dt}$

position of the particle

$dx = v dt$

integrating both side

$\int dx =\int 60(1-e^{-t}) dt$

$x = 60 t + 60 e^{-t}$

Position of the particle at t= 3 s

$x = 60\times 3+ 60 e^{-3}$

x = 182.98 ft

Distance traveled by the particle in 3 s is equal to 182.98 ft

now, particle’s acceleration

$a = \dfrac{dv}{dt}$

$a = \dfrac{d}{dt}60(1-e^{-t})$

$a = 60 e^{-t}$

at t= 3 s

$a = 60 e^{-3}$

a = 2.98 ft/s²

acceleration of the particle is equal to 2.98 ft/s²

ohaa [14]

Answer:

He sees the light as 1c

Explanation:

According to relativity, the speed of light is the same in all inertial frame of reference.

If we were to add the velocities as applicable to a normal moving bodies, the relative speed of the light beam will exceed c which will break relativistic law since nothing can go past the speed of light.
