An inductor has inductance of 0.260 H and carries a current that is decreasing at a uniform rate of 18.0 mA/s.
nignag [31]

Answer:

The self-induced emf in this inductor is 4.68 mV.

Explanation:

The emf in the inductor is given by:

\epsilon = -L\frac{dI}{dt}

Where:

dI/dt: is the decreasing current's rate change = -18.0 mA/s (the minus sign is because the current is decreasing)

L: is the inductance = 0.260 H

So, the emf is:

\epsilon = -L\frac{dI}{dt} = -0.260 H*(-18.0 \cdot 10^{-3} A/s) = 4.68 \cdot 10^{-3} V

Therefore, the self-induced emf in this inductor is 4.68 mV.  

I hope it helps you!

A satellite of mass m is in a circular orbit of radius R2 around a spherical planet of radius R1 made of a material with density
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

a)      K = 2/3 π G m ρ R₁³ / R₂ ,  b) U = - G m M / r

Explanation:

The law of universal gravitation is

     F = G m M / r²

Part A

Let's use Newton's second law

     F = m a

The acceleration is centripetal

     a = v² / R₂

     

      G m M / R₂² = m v² / R₂

      v² = G M / R₂

They give us the density of the planet

    ρ = M / V

    V = 4/3 π R₁³

    M =   ρ V

    M =   ρ 4/3 π R₁³

    v² = 4/3 π G  ρ R₁³ / R₂

    K = ½ m v²

    K = ½ m (4/3 π G ρ R₁³ / R₂)

    K = 2/3 π G m ρ R₁³ / R₂

Part B

Potential energy and strength are related

     F = - dU / dr

     ∫ dU = - ∫ F. dr

The force was directed towards the center and the vector r outwards therefore there is an angle of 180º between the two cos 180 = -1

    U- U₀ = G m M ∫ dr / r²

    U - U₀ = G m M (- r⁻¹)

We evaluate for

    U - U₀ = -G m M (1 / r_{f} -  1 /r_{i})

They indicate that for ri = ∞     U₀ = 0

    U = - G m M / r

What is the average power consumption in watts of an appliance that uses 5.00 kWh of energy per day? How many joules of energy d
denpristay [2]

Answer:

(A)  power  = 0.208 kW = 208 watts

(B)  energy = 6.6 x 10^{9} joules

Explanation:

energy consumed per day = 5 kWh

(a) find the power consumed in a day

         1 day = 24 hours

        power = \frac{energy}{time}

        power = \frac{5}{24}

          power  = 0.208 kW = 208 watts

         

(b) find the energy consumed in a year

    assuming it is not a leap year and number of days = 365 days

     1 year = 365 x 24 x 60 x 60 = 31,536,000 seconds

            energy = power x time

            energy = 208 x 31,536,000

            energy = 6.6 x 10^{9} joules

You place a light bulb 8 cm in front of a concave mirror. You then move a sheet of paper back and forth in front of the mirror.
Alika [10]

sorry - late reply...just stumbled across tis...hope u can still use it :)


By the mirror equation: 1/di + 1/do = 1/f

<span>
</span>

<span>where di = distance to image = +12cm (+ for real image)</span>


and do = distance to object = +8cm


Substitute and solve for f, the focal length

<span><span>
1/12 + 1/8 = 1/f
</span><span>
1/f = (8 + 12) / 12 * 8 = 20/96
</span><span>
so f = 96/20 = 4.8 cm</span>
