A flea walking along a ruler moves from the 45 cm mark to the 27 cm mark. It does this in 3 seconds. What is the speed? What is

the velocity?

Answer:

Explanation:

In the calculation of distance we do not take into account the direction of movement .So only magnitude of movement is taken care of.

On the other hand , in respect of displacement , we take into account even direction of movement along with magnitude.

Distance covered by flea = 45 - 27 = 18 cm

Displacement by flea = 27 - 45 = - 18 cm

Speed = Distance covered / time

= 18 / 3 = 6 cm / s

Velocity = - 18 / 3 = - 6 cm /s.

A circular loop of flexible iron wire has an initial circumference of 165cm , but its circumference is decreasing at a constant
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

emf induced is 0.005445 V and direction is clockwise because we can see area is decrease and so that flux also decrease so using right hand rule direction of current here clockwise

Explanation:

Given data

initial circumference = 165 cm

rate = 12.0 cm/s

magnitude = 0.500 T

tome = 9 sec

to find out

emf induced and direction

solution

we know emf in loop is - d∅/dt    ........1

here ∅ = ( BAcosθ)

so we say angle is zero degree and magnetic filed is uniform here so that

emf = - d ( BAcos0) /dt

emf = - B dA /dt     ..............2

so  area will be

dA/dt = d(πr²) / dt

dA/dt = 2πr dr/dt

we know 2πr = c,

r = c/2π = 165 / 2π

r  = 26.27 cm

c is circumference so from equation 2

emf = - B 2πr dr/dt    ................3

and

here we find rate of change of radius that is

dr/dt = 12/2π = 1.91  10^{-2}cm/s

so when 9.0s have passed that radius of coil = 26.27 - 191 (9)

radius = 9.08 10^{-2} cm

so now from equation 3 we find emf

emf = - (0.500 )  2π(9.08 10^{-2} )   1.91  10^{-2}

emf = - 0.005445

and magnitude of emf = 0.005445 V

so

emf induced is 0.005445 V and direction is clockwise because we can see area is decrease and so that flux also decrease so using right hand rule direction of current here clockwise

The solid rod shown has a radius of 0.75 in. if it is subjected to the force the 500lb determine the max normal stress developed
Kipish [7]
The normal stress follows the formula written below:

σ = F/A

There are two types of stress, axial and tangential. Since we are only given with the dimension of the radius (and not the length), the possible stress is axial. So, the area is,

A = πr² = π(0.75 in)² = 1.767 in²

So,
σ = F/A = 500 lb/1.767 in² = <em>282.94 psi</em>
