If a freely falling rock were equipped with a speedometer, by how much would itd speed readings increase with each second if it

were on a planet wreg=20m/s2?

" 20 m/s² " means that if gravity is the ONLY force on the object
(the object is in 'free fall'), then its speed increases by  20 m/s
every second.

That's the answer to your question.  Now, let me ask you
another one:

How does a speedometer tied to a falling rock work ?
How can it measure the rock's speed ?

Maybe one way would be to have a little tiny propeller on
the front of the speedometer, and it could measure how fast
the propeller is spinning as the rock falls through the air ?
Great idea.  But we already said the rock is in free-fall,
so there's no air resistance, we can't have any air, and
there's nothing to spin the propeller.

How would you do it ?  How can you measure the rock's speed ?

Answer:

  • Disk C and Disk D

Explanation:

The total charge in the disks

q_1 + q_2 = q_{total}

must be conserved before and after bringing them together.

Lets equate the sum of the initial charge with the sum of the final for the disk:

q_{1_i} + q_{2_i} = q_{1_f} + q_{2_f} = 2 * (+8.5) \mu C

q_{1_i} + q_{2_i} = +17 \mu C

So, the initial charges must sum +17 μC.

Now, as there are no charges over +17 μC, this means that both charges must be positive.

As the only positive charges are q_C and q_D, this disk must be the ones we are looking for. And, as we can see, they sum 17 μC:

q_{C} + q_{D} = 5 \mu C + 12 \mu C = 17 \mu C

Korolek [52]
This question is so vague as to render it useless.

I suspect the answer they're looking for is Kepler advanced Copernicus's work as is stated. but the way science works is that anyone who has contributed will have their work built on. for example, Newton advanced Kepler's work on the elliptical path of planets as Einstein advanced Newton's work.

A solenoid inductor has an emf of 0.80 V when the current through it changes at the rate 10.0 A/s. A steady current of 0.20 A pr
barxatty [35]

Answer:

The number of turns of the inductor is 2000 turns.

Explanation:

Given;

emf of the inductor, E = 0.8 V

the rate of change of current with time, dI/dt = 10 A/s

steady current in the solenoid, I = 0.2 A

flux per turn, Ф = 8.0 μWb per

Determine the inductance of the solenoid, L

E = L(dI/dt)

L = E / (dI/dt)

L = 0.8 / (10)

L = 0.08 H

The inductance of the solenoid is given by;

L = \frac{\mu_o N^2 A}{l}

Also, the magnetic field of the solenoid is given by;

B = \frac{\mu_o NI}{l}

I is 0.2 A

B = \frac{\mu_oN(0.2)}{l} = \frac{0.2\mu_o N}{l}

\frac{B}{0.2 } = \frac{\mu_o N}{l}

L = \frac{\mu_o N^2 A}{l} \\\\L = \frac{\mu_o N }{l} (NA)\\\\L = \frac{B}{0.2} (NA)\\\\L = \frac{BA}{0.2} (N)

But Ф = BA

L = \frac{\phi N}{0.2} \\\\\phi N = 0.2 L\\\\N = \frac{0.2 L}{\phi} \\\\N = \frac{0.2 *0.08}{8*10^{-6}}\\\\N = 2000 \ turns

Therefore, the number of turns of the inductor is 2000 turns.
