Answer:

Explanation:

The negative feedback is responsible for maintaining equilibrium (stability) in a system as it lessens effects, which is contrary to positive feedback which increases reaction and moves a system further away from equilibrium (stability), It does so by amplifying the effects of a product or event and occurs when something needs to happen quickly. e.g

Insulin lowers down blood sugar levels, so when the body detects that it has too much sugar, the pancreas is prompted to release insulin and only stops when balance is achieved; hence, negative feedback.

When there is a tear on the skin, a chemical is released. This chemical causes platelets in the blood to activate, hence they release a chemical which signals more platelets to activate, until the wound is clotted, positive feedback.

Answer:

$B= 4.197*10^-5T$

Explanation:

We know that the magnetic Field of the Earth is 50\mu T, so the equation for

Hall effect voltage und magnetic field are defined as,

$\Delta V_H = \frac{IB}{nqt}$

$B=\frac{nqt\Delta V_h}{I}$

So,

$B=\frac{(8.48*10^{28})(1.6*10^{-19})(0.0055)(4.5*10^-{12})}{8}$

$B= 0.00004197$

$B= 4.197*10^{-5}T$

The tape in a videotape cassette has a total

Answer:

$w=19.76 \ rad/s$

Explanation:

<u>Circular Motion </u>

Suppose there is an object describing a circle of radius r around a fixed point. If the relation between the angle of rotation by the time taken is constant, then the angular speed is also constant. If that relation increases or decreases at a constant rate, the angular speed is given by:

$w=w_o+\alpha \ t$

Where $\alpha$ is the angular acceleration and t is the time. If the object was instantly released from the circular path, it would have a tangent speed of:

$\displaystyle v_t=w.r$

We have two reels: one loaded with the tape to play and the other one empty and starting to fill with tape. They both rotate at different angular speeds, one is increasing and the other is decreasing as the tape goes from one to the other. We'll assume the tangent speed is constant for both (so the tape can play correctly). Let's call $w_1$ the angular speed of the loaded reel and $w_2$ that from the empty reel. We have
