<h2>Answer: Generator</h2>

Alternating Current (AC) is the electric current in which the magnitude and direction vary cyclically.

In other words:

It is a variable electric current in which <u>electrical charges change the direction of movement periodically</u>.

Unlike Direct Current (DC), that is produced by a chemical reaction (a battery, for example), alternating current is produced by a <u>generator</u> that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

What is the peak emf generated by rotating a 940-turn, 24 cm diameter coil in the Earth’s 5·10−5 T magnetic field, given th

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The peak emf generated by the coil is 2.67 V

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns, N = 940 turns

diameter, d = 24 cm = 0.24 m

magnetic field, B = 5 x 10⁻⁵ T

time, t = 5 ms = 5 x 10⁻³ s

peak emf, V₀ = ?

V₀ = NABω

Where;

N is the number of turns

A is the area

B is the magnetic field strength

ω is the angular velocity

V₀ = NABω and ω = 2πf = 2π/t

V₀ = NAB2π/t

A = πd²/4

V₀ = N x (πd²/4) x B x (2π/t)

V₀ = 940 x (π x 0.24²/4) x 5 x 10⁻⁵ x (2π/0.005)

V₀ = 940 x 0.04524 x 5 x 10⁻⁵ x 1256.8

V₀ = 2.6723 V = 2.67 V

The peak emf generated by the coil is 2.67 V

Estimate the mass of the Great Pyramid of Giza, in tons. You make may use of the following information: the Great Pyramid is in

postnew [5]

Answer:

6005803.83105 short tons

Explanation:

The definition of density is $\rho = \frac{m}{V}$ , and the volume of a pyramid is (confusingly written on the proposal) $V=\frac{1}{3} Ah$ , so we can write:

$m=\rho V=\rho V \frac{1}{3} Ah=\rho V \frac{1}{3} s^2h$

Where s is the side of the base, being $s^2$ the area of that square.

We will write everything in S.I., and the best way to convert units is using conversion factors, for example, since 1m=100cm, we know that $\frac{1m}{100cm}=1$ , and we can use this factor to convert anything written in cm to anything written in m. Example:

$500cm=500cm\frac{1m}{100cm}=5m$

Here we just multiplied 500cm by something that is equal to 1 (as every conversion factor must), so <em>it's not doing anything but changing the units</em>.

We can use this tool like this:

$2.1\frac{g}{cm^3}=2.1\frac{g}{cm^3}(\frac{1Kg}{1000g})(\frac{100cm}{1m})^3=2100Kg/m^3$

Where we have used the fact that $1^3=1$ (<u>we can elevate any conversion factor to any number and they still will be 1</u>) and where we have placed strategically what is the numerator and what in the denominator so the units we don't want cancel out and the units we want appear.

Substituting then our values:

$m=\rho V \frac{1}{3} s^2h=(2100Kg/m^3)\frac{1}{3} (230.34m)^2(146.7m)=5448373586.96Kg$

And now we will convert to short tons using two conversion factors at the same time:

$m=5448373586.96\ Kg(\frac{1\ lb}{0.45359237\ Kg})(\frac{1\ short\ ton}{2000\ lb} )=6005803.83105\ short \ tons$

Remember, their value is 1, and we place the units to cancel the ones we don't want and keep the ones we want, here Kg cancel out, and lb cancel out, leaving the short tones.
