Rail guns can accelerate an object by using the magnetic force on a current carrying device. A rail gun is constructed to accele

rate a length of copper wire, having a radius of 5.1 x 10-4 m and density,  = 8960 kg/m3. The rails have a length L = 1.0 m and are in a constant magnetic field B = 2.0 T, oriented perpendicularly to the plane defined by the rails. The wire forms an electrical connection across the rails at one end of the rails. The wire starts from rest at this end of the rails, and when triggered, a current of 10 KA flows through the wire. Calculate the speed of the wire as it leaves the rail. {2.34 km/s}

Answer:

v = 2.33 103 m / s

Explanation:

The magnetic force is

       F = q v x B = i L X B

Where L is wire length and B the magnetic field

Let's calculate the value of the force

       F = i L B

Now we can calculate the acceleration using Newton's second law

     F = m a

     a = F / m

Density is

    ρ = m / V

    V = π r² L

    ρ = m / π r² L

   m = ρ π r² L

    a = I L B / (ρ π r² L)

    a = 10 10³ 2.0 / (8960 π (5.1 10⁻⁴)²)

    a = 2.73 10⁶ m/s²

Having the acceleration we use the kinematic equation

     v² = v₀² + 2 a x

     v = √ 2 ax

     v = √ (2  2,723 10⁶  1.0)

     v = 2.33 103 m / s

Which statement best describes the work and energy in these examples?
solniwko [45]

Answer: <u>Option A: </u>The gas and food are examples of energy.

Explanation:

Work and energy are inter-related. Energy is required to do the work. An equal amount of energy is converted into work. Work and energy have same units. The SI unit is Joule.

The gas and food are sources of energy. They act as fuel. This energy is utilized to perform work. The gas is used to run the car. The food is metabolized inside the body which is a source of energy and utilized to perform every day work.

Hence, The gas and food are examples of energy.

HELP A car traveling at 4m/s accelerates at a rate of .80m/s2 for 1.8s. What is its final velocity?
Semenov [28]

Answer:

148(m/s)

Explanation:

V_final = V_current + (acceleration) x (time)

            = 4 + 80 x 1.8 = 148 (m/s)
