<u>Metal detectors work by transmitting an electromagnetic field from the search coil into the ground. Any metal objects (targets) within the electromagnetic field will become energised and retransmit an electromagnetic field of their own. The detector’s search coil receives the retransmitted field and alerts the user by producing a target response. metal detectors are capable of discriminating between different target types and can be set to ignore unwanted targets. </u>

1. Search Coil

The detector’s search coil transmits the electromagnetic field into the ground and receives the return electromagnetic field from a target.

2. Transmit Electromagnetic Field (visual representation only - blue)

The transmit electromagnetic field energises targets to enable them to be detected.

3. Target

A target is any metal object that can be detected by a metal detector. In this example, the detected target is treasure, which is a good (accepted) target.

A solid sphere has a radius of 0.200 m and a mass of 150.0 kg. how much work is required to get the sphere rolling with an angul
Allisa [31]

Here in this case we can use work energy theorem

As per work energy theorem

Work done by all forces = Change in kinetic Energy of the object

Total kinetic energy of the solid sphere is ZERO initially as it is given at rest.

Final total kinetic energy is sum of rotational kinetic energy and translational kinetic energy

KE = \frac{1}{2}Iw^2 +\frac{1}{2} mv^2

also we know that

I = \frac{2}{5}mR^2

w= \frac{v}{R}

Now kinetic energy is given by

KE = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{5}mR^2)w^2 +\frac{1}{2} m(Rw)^2

KE = \frac{1}{5}mR^2w^2 +\frac{1}{2} mR^2w^2

KE = \frac{7}{10}mR^2w^2

KE = \frac{7}{10}*150*(0.200)^2(50)^2

KE = 10500 J

Now by work energy theorem

Work done = 10500 - 0 = 10500 J

So in the above case work done on sphere is 10500 J

Barney walks at a velocity of 1.7 meters/second on an inclined plane, which has an angle of 18.5° with the ground. What is the h
Viktor [21]
The velocities and the speed build a triangle, where the 1.7 m/s are the hypotenuse and the x-velocity and y-velocity are the other sides. 

<span>So the x-velocity is: speed*cos(angle) </span>

<span>now plug in </span>
<span>x=1.7 m/s * cos(18.5)=1.597 m/s </span>

A 15-turn circular wire loop with a radius of 3.0 cm is initially in a uniform magnetic field with a strength of 0.5 T. The fiel
lana66690 [7]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the definition given in Faraday's law in a solenoid for which it is noted that

\epsilon = - d\frac{\phi_B}{dt}

\epsilon = -NA\frac{dB}{dt}

Where,

N = Number of loops

A = Cross sectional Area

B = Magnetic Field

\epsilon = (15)(\pi(0.03)^2)\frac{0-0.5}{0.1}

\epsilon = 0.212V

\epsilon = 0.21V

Therefore the correct answer is A.

Answer:

here try this! i hope this helps

Explanation:

There are many advantages when we compare strength training with other forms of training. For example, the biggest benefit would be the increase of muscle mass due to us using the muscle more and for harder movements than usual. Strength training can preserve the mass that we lose with age. Bones also get stronger when we train so they are harder to fracture. We get more joint flexibility from the movements we do. So things as arthritis can be avoided or at least feel better.
