A metal disk of radius 4.0 cm is mounted on a frictionless axle. Current can flow through the axle out along the disk, to a slid

ing contact on the rim of the disk. A uniform magnetic field B= 1.25 T is parallel to the axle of the disk. When the current is 5.5 A, the disk rotates with constant angular velocity. What's the frictional force at the rim between the stationary electrical contact and t?

Answer:

Friction force is 0.1375 N

Solution:

As per the question:

Radius of the metal disc, R = 4.0 cm = 0.04 m

Magnetic field, B = 1.25 T

Current, I = 5.5 A

Force on a current carrying conductor in a magnetic field is given by considering it on a differential element:

dF = IB\times dR

Integrating the above eqn:

\int dF = IB\int_{0}^{R}dr

\tau = IB\times \frac{R^{2}}{2} = \frac{1}{2}IBR^{2}          (1)

Now the torque is given by:

\tau = F\times R                        (2)

From eqn (1) and (2):

F\times R = \frac{1}{2}IBR^{2}

Thus the Frictional force is given by:

F = \frac{1}{2}\times 5.5\times 1.25\times 0.04 = 0.1375\ N

Answer:

Explanation:

Conservation of momentum

Initial momentum is zero

3(15) + 2(v) = 0

v = - 22.5 m/s

v = 22.5 m/s downward

An astronaut having mass 320 kg with equipment included is attempting an untethered space walk. The astronaut is initially at re
ExtremeBDS [4]
This can be solved using momentum balance, since momentum is conserved, the momentum at point 1 is equal to the momentum of point 2. momentum = mass x velocity
m1v1 = m2v2
(0.03kg x 900 m/s ) = 320(v2)
v2 = 27 / 320
v2 = 0.084 m/s is the speed of the astronaut
