Answer:

doughnut-shaped chamber called the tokamak. This is where the fusion reactions take place, within hot plasma containing deuterium and tritium atoms.

The shape of JET experimental fusion reactor is the 'D-shaped' vacuum chamber.

Explanation:

JET, “Joint European Torus” is World's biggest magnetically compact plasma physics experiment, in Oxfordshire, UK. The tokamak design paved way to the future nuclear fusion grid energy.

JET was the first tokamaks designed to use this D-shaped chamber. The initial construction of this chamber was purely based on safety factor, but later it was noted that the system was built mechanically to reduce the net force across the chamber which forces the torus towards middle of major axis.

To support the forces, magnets around the chamber should be curved at top and bottom and less on inside to support the acting forces leads to oval shaped chamber. The D shape of the reactor has the dimension of about 2.5 meters in width and 4.2 meters in height with the total of 100 cubic meters of volume for the plasma.

Answer:

12N to the right.

Explanation:

There is a force of 12N upwards and a force of 12N downwards: these cancel out.

Assign a negative value to forces towards the left, and a positive value to the forces towards the right: -3N and +15N

Combine them: -3N+15N = 12N

The net force has a magnitude of 12N, and since our answer was positive, it acts towards the right.

A fully loaded, slow-moving freight elevator has a cab with a total mass of 1200 kg, which is required to travel upward 54 m in

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

The average power is calculated as 735.0 W

Solution:

As per the question:

Total mass, M = 1200 kg

Counter mass of the elevator, m = 950

Distance traveled by the elevator, d = 54 m

Time taken, t = 3 min = 180 s

Now,

To calculate the average power:

First, we find the force needed for lifting the weight:

Force, F = (M - m)g = $(1200 - 950)\times 9.8 = 2450 N$

Now, the work done by this force:

W = Fd = $2450\times 54 = 132300\ J = 132.3\ kJ$

Average power is given as:

$P_{avg} = \frac{W}{t} = \frac{132300}{180} = 735.0\ W$

Suppose the sphere is electrically neutral. Is it attracted to

Elden [556K]

Answer:

No, it is not attracted.

Explanation:

If any sphere is electrically neutral it is not attracted. The materials which are attracted by magnet are called magnetic material whereas which are not attracted are called non magnetic material. Sphere made up of non magnetic materials such as glass, wood, paper will not attracted weather is kept near north pole or near south pole.

Two loudspeakers are 1.60 m apart. A person stands 3.00 m from one speaker and 3.50 m from the other. (a) What is the lowest fre

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Distance between two loud speakers $d=1.6\ m$

Distance of person from one speaker $x_1=3\ m$

Distance of person from second speaker $x_2=3.5\ m$

Path difference between the waves is given by

$x_2-x_1=(2m+1)\cdot \frac{\lambda }{2}$

for destructive interference m=0 I.e.

$x_2-x_1=\frac{\lambda }{2}$

$3.5-3=\frac{\lambda }{2}$

$\lambda =0.5\times 2$

$\lambda =1\ m$

frequency is given by

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda }$

where $v=velocity\ of\ sound\ (v=343\ m/s)$

$f=\frac{343}{1}=343\ Hz$

For next frequency which will cause destructive interference is

i.e. $m=1$ and $m=2$

$3.5-3=\frac{2\cdot 1+1}{2}\cdot \lambda$

$\lambda =\frac{1}{3}\ m$

frequency corresponding to this is

$f_2=\frac{343}{\frac{1}{3}}=1029\ Hz$

for $m=2$

$3.5-3=\frac{5}{2}\cdot \lambda$

$\lambda =\frac{1}{5}\ m$

Frequency corresponding to this wavelength

$f_3=\frac{343}{\frac{1}{5}}$

$f_3=1715\ Hz$

Refer to a long, straight wire carrying constant current I. What can be concluded about the magnitude of the magnetic field at d

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

"the magnitude of the magnetic field at a point of distance a around a wire, carrying a constant current I, is inversely proportional to the distance a of the wire from that point"

Explanation:

The magnitude of the magnetic field from a long straight wire (A approximately a finite length of wire at least for close points around the wire.) decreases with distance from the wire. It does not follow the inverse square rule as is the electric field from a point charge. We can then say that "the magnitude of the magnetic field at a point of distance a around a wire, carrying a constant current I, is inversely proportional to the distance a of the wire from that point"

From the Biot-Savart rule,

B = μI/2πR

where B is the magnitude of the magnetic field

I is the current through the wire

μ is the permeability of free space or vacuum

R is the distance between the point and the wire, in this case is = a
