TRUE OR FALSE? We can see every member of the electromagnetic spectrum?

That is false. we cannot see the microwaves that cook your food or the x-rays that allows doctors to see the bones inside your body. We are limited to a small portion of the EM spectrum that is called visible light

It is false. We see only a few members of electromagnetic spectrum

Hope it helps!

If the kinetic and potential energy in a system are equal, then the potential energy increases. What happens as a resul

Kobotan [32]

-- If the system is 'closed', then nothing ... including energy ... can get in or out, and the total energy inside has to be constant.

If half of the energy in the system starts out as potential energy and the rest starts out as kinetic, and then the potential energy increases, there's only one place the increase could have come from ... it could only have been converted from kinetic energy. So the kinetic energy in the system must decrease.

In fact, this isn't even a "result". The kinetic energy has to decrease before the potential energy can increase, because that's where the increase has to come from.

If the system is 'open', then energy can come in and go out. If the potential energy inside suddenly increases, we don't know where it came from, so we can't say anything about what happens to the system.

In a physics laboratory experiment, a coil with 200 turns enclosing an area of 13.1 cm2 is rotated during the time interval 3.10

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

A) $\Phi=83.84\times 10^{-9}$

B) $\Phi=0 Wb$

C) $emf=5.4090\times 10^{-4}V$

Explanation:

Given that:

no. of turns i the coil, $n=200$

area of the coil, $a=13.1 \times 10^{-4}\,m^2$

time interval of rotation, $t=3.1\times 10^{-2}\,s$

intensity of magnetic field, $B=6.4\times 10^{-5}\,T$

(A)

Initially the coil area is perpendicular to the magnetic field.

So, magnetic flux is given as:

$\Phi=B.a\,cos \theta$ ..................................(1)

$\theta$ is the angle between the area vector and the magnetic field lines. Area vector is always perpendicular to the area given. In this case area vector is parallel to the magnetic field.

$\Phi=6.4\times 10^{-5}\times 13.1 \times 10^{-4}\, cos 0^{\circ}$

$\Phi=83.84\times 10^{-9} Wb$

(B)

In this case the plane area is parallel to the magnetic field i.e. the area vector is perpendicular to the magnetic field.

∴ $\theta=90^{\circ}$

From eq. (1)

$\Phi=6.4\times 10^{-5}\times 13.1 \times 10^{-4}\, cos 90^{\circ}$

$\Phi=0 Wb$

(C)

According to the Faraday's Law we have:

$emf=n\frac{B.a}{t}$

$emf=\frac{200\times 6.4\times 10^{-5}\times 13.1 \times 10^{-4}}{3.1\times 10^{-2}}$

$emf=5.4090\times 10^{-4}V$

A sliver cylindrical rod has a length of 0.5 m and a radius of 0.4 m, find the density of the rod if it's mass is 2.640 kg

Serga [27]

Answer:

Density=10.50kg/m³

Explanation:

$Solution,\\Height(h)=0.5m\\Radius(r)=0.4m\\Now, \\Volume=\pi r^{2} h\\\\Volume=\pi *(0.4m)^{2} *0.5m\\\\Volume=0.251327m^{3} \\\\Again,\\\\Density=\frac{mass}{volume} \\\\Density=\frac{2.640kg}{0.251327} \\\\Density=10.50kg/m^{3}$

How did mount st. Helen get its name

steposvetlana [31]

The modern name, Mount St. Helen's, was given to the volcanic peak in 1792 by seafarer and explorer Captain George Vancouver of the British Royal Navy. He named it in honor of fellow countryman Alleyne Fitzherbert, who held the title 'Baron St. Helen's.
