Devise an exponential decay function that fits the given​ data, then answer the accompanying questions. Be sure to identify the

reference point ​(tequals ​0) and units of t. The pressure of a certain​ planet's atmosphere at sea level is approximately 800 millibars and decreases exponentially with elevation. At an elevation of 35 comma 000 ​ft, the pressure is​ one-third of the​ sea-level pressure. At what elevation is the pressure half of the​ sea-level pressure? At what elevation is it 2 ​% of the​ sea-level pressure?

Answer:

22145.27733 ft

124984.76055 ft

Explanation:

The equation of pressure is

P=P_0e^{-kh}

where,

P_0 =Atmospheric pressure = 800 mbar

k = Constant

h = Altitude = 35000 ft

P=\dfrac{1}{3}P_0

\dfrac{1}{3}P_0=P_0e^{-k35000}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{3}=e^{-k35000}\\\Rightarrow 3=e^{k35000}\\\Rightarrow ln3=k35000\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{ln3}{35000}\\\Rightarrow k=3.13\times 10^{-5}

Now

P=\dfrac{1}{2}P_0

ln2=kh\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{ln2}{k}\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{ln2}{3.13\times 10^{-5}}\\\Rightarrow h=22145.27733\ ft

The altitude will be 22145.27733 ft

P=0.02P_0

0.02P_0=P_0e^{-kh}\\\Rightarrow 0.02=e^{-3.13\times 10^{-5}h}\\\Rightarrow ln0.02=-3.13\times 10^{-5}h\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{ln0.02}{-3.13\times 10^{-5}}\\\Rightarrow h=124984.76055\ ft

The elevation is 124984.76055 ft

Q 28.7: A strip 1.2 mm wide is moving at a speed of 25 cm/s through a uniform magnetic field of 5.6 T. What is the maximum Hall
Zinaida [17]

Answer:the  maximum Hall voltage across the strip= 0.00168 V.

Explanation:

The Hall Voltage is calculated using

Vh= B x v x  w

Where

B is the magnitude of the magnetic field, 5.6 T

v is the speed/  velocity of the strip, = 25 cm/s  to m/s becomes 25/100=0.25m/s

and w is the width of the strip=  1.2 mm to meters becomes 1.2 mm /1000= 0.0012m

 Solving

Vh= 5.6T x 0.25m/s x 0.0012m

=0.00168T.m²/s

=0.00168Wb/s

=0.00168V

Therefore, the  maximum Hall voltage across the strip=0.00168V

Mains electricity is an ac supply. Explain the difference between direct and alternating potential difference.
Gennadij [26K]

Direct current (DC) is the flow of electric charge in only one direction. It is the steady state of a constant-voltage circuit. Most well-known applications, however, use a time-varying voltage source. Alternating current (AC) is the flow of electric charge that periodically reverses direction.
