Margaret [11]

Answer:

The direction of the induced magnetic field should be pointing towards the screen.

Explanation:

Because the magnetic field is decreasing, and if we use Len's law, the induced current will increase the external magnetic field. For this increase to occur, said magnetic field produced by the induced current must be pointing towards the screen.

Topic: Chapter 10: Projectory or trajectile?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The other angle is 75⁰

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of the projectile, v = 10 m/s

range of the projectile, R = 5.1 m

angle of projection, 15⁰

The range of a projectile is given as;

R = \frac{u^2sin(2\theta)}{g}

To find another angle of projection to give the same range;

5.1 = \frac{10^2 sin(2\theta)}{9.81} \\\\100sin(2\theta) = 50\\\\sin(2\theta) = 0.5\\\\2\theta = sin^{-1}(0.5)\\\\2\theta = 30^0\\\\\theta = 15^0\\\\since \ the \ angle \ occurs \ in \ \ the \ first \ quadrant,\  the \ equivalent \ angle \\ is \ calculated \ as;\\\\90- \theta = 15^0\\\\\theta = 90 - 15^0\\\\\theta = 75^0

<u>Check: </u>

sin(2θ) = sin(2 x 75) = sin(150) = 0.5

sin(2θ) = sin(2 x 15) = sin(30) = 0.5

State the relation between acceleration and momentum​
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity. Momentum is the mass times the velocity. So if you multiply the mass times the acceleration, you get the of change of momentum.

1.An elevator is ascending with constant speed of 10 m/s. A boy in the elevator throws a ball upward at 20 m/ a from a height of
laiz [17]

(a) The maximum height reached by the ball from the ground level is 75.87m

(b) The time taken for the ball to return to the elevator floor is 2.21 s

<u>The given parameters include:</u>

  • constant velocity of the elevator, u₁ = 10 m/s
  • initial velocity of the ball, u₂ = 20 m/s
  • height of the boy above the elevator floor, h₁ = 2 m
  • height of the elevator above the ground, h₂ = 28 m

To calculate:

(a) the maximum height of the projectile

total initial velocity of the projectile = 10 m/s + 20 m/s  = 30 m/s (since the elevator is ascending at a constant speed)

at maximum height the final velocity of the projectile (ball), v = 0

Apply the following kinematic equation to determine the maximum height of the projectile.

v^2 = u^2 + 2(-g)h_3\\\\where;\\\\g \ is \ the \ acceleration \ due \ to\  gravity = 9.81 \ m/s^2\\\\h_3 \ is \ maximum \ height \ reached \ by \ the \ ball \ from \ the \ point \ of \ projection\\\\0 = u^2 -2gh_3\\\\2gh_3 = u^2 \\\\h_3 = \frac{u^2}{2g} \\\\h_3 = \frac{(30)^2}{2\times 9.81} \\\\h_3 = 45.87 \ m

The maximum height reached by the ball from the ground level (h) = height of the elevator from the ground level + height of he boy above the elevator + maximum height reached by elevator from the point of projection

h = h₁ + h₂ + h₃

h = 28 m + 2 m  +  45.87 m

h = 75.87 m

(b) The time taken for the ball to return to the elevator floor

Final height of the ball above the elevator floor = 2 m + 45.87 m = 47.87 m

Apply the following kinematic equation to determine the time to return to the elevator floor.

h = vt + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\where;\\\\v \ is \ the \ initial \ velocity \ of \ the \ ball \ at \ the \ maximum \ height = 0\\\\h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\gt^2 = 2h\\\\t^2 = \frac{2h}{g} \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 47.87}{9.81}} \\\\t = 2.21 \ s

Which BEST describes the difference between speed and velocity?
kirill [66]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) Velocity includes rate of change and direction.

Explanation :

Speed : Speed is defined as the distance traveled by an object with respect to the time taken. It is a scalar quantity that means it tell us about the magnitude of an object not direction.

Velocity : Velocity is defined as the rate of change of position of an object with respect to the time. It is a vector quantity that means it tell us about the magnitude and direction of an object.

The only difference between the speed and the velocity is that the velocity tell us about magnitude and direction but speed tell us about magnitude only.

Hence, the correct option is, (D) Velocity includes rate of change and direction.
