A normal human being can rotate his neck at maximum angle of 70 degree at one stretch

So here the maximum angle is 70 degree upto which he can see the height

now we will have

tan\theta = \frac{H}{d}

tan70 = \frac{227.4 - 4.3}{d}

now we have

d = 81.2 m

so he is able to see the top at minimum distance of 81.2 m from that gate

zimovet [89]

definition of breeder reactors.

These are a type of nuclear reactors which produce more fissile material than they consume

Advantages: Breeder reactors produce Pu-239 which can be extensively used as a nuclear fuel. Also, Pu-239 can absorb neutron to form Pu-240, which is another fertile material.[1]

MAVERICK [17]

A textbook would hit the ground first


Factors:

-Textbook weighs most

-Pillow is flat and fluffy not very aerodynamic) also is very light

-Paper airplane will glide to the ground do to its wings and will hit the ground last

How can you say that joule and Newton are derived units​
maxonik [38]

Answer:

F = M a    where M is acceleration and a is acceleration

a = x / s^2 = distance / time squared

The Newton is derived because mass, distance, and time are all fundamental units One would have to look at the fundamental requirements for these definitions, but they can all be repeated in a laboratory.

So the Newton is determined from these fundamental units and since the Joule equals Newton * Distance it is also derived from the fundamental units.

If one has the three fundamental units then one can derive the Joule and Newton.

What is the difference between mutual flux, leakage flux and magnetizing flux<br> ​
Lemur [1.5K]

In simple words, flux can be stated as the rate of flow of a fluid, radiant energy, or particles across a given area.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>Mutual Flux:</u>

  • The magnetic lines present in among two magnets or solenoid is mutual flux.
  • These are the lines in which the attraction and repulsion happens.
  • The SI unit of mutual flux is the Henry

<u>Leakage Flux:</u>

  • In simple words, it can be stated as  the magnetic flux which does not follow the specially designed way in a magnetic circuit.
  • Leakage flux in the induction motor takes spot due to current runs through the essence of the induction motor.
  • The SI unit of Leakage flux is the Weber

<u>Magnetizing flux</u>

  • Magnetic flux is an analysis of the entire magnetic field which moves in a given field
  • In simple words can be defined as the Magnetic flux is what generates the field around a magnetic material.
  • The SI unit of magnetic flux is the Weber
