One terminal of a car battery is said to be connected to “ground.” since it is not really connected to the ground, what is meant

This expression means that the negative terminal (-) is connected to the metal chassis or engine, which means that all voltages used for the electrical devices in the car are measured with respect to the car's chassis or engine. 
Today's vehicles have a negative ground system, which means that the vehicle's steel frame or chassis is directly connected to the negative side of the battery via the negative battery cable.

(a) Calculate the self-inductance (in mH) of a 55.0 cm long, 10.0 cm diameter solenoid having 1000 loops.
DedPeter [7]

Explanation:

(a) We have,

Length of solenoid, l = 55 cm = 0.55 m

Diameter of the solenoid, d = 10 cm

Radius, r = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Number of loops in the solenoid is 1000.

(a) The self inductance in the solenoid is given by :

L=\dfrac{\mu_o N^2A}{l}

A is area

L=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times (1000)^2\times \pi (0.05)^2}{0.55}\\\\L=0.0179\ H\\\\L=17.9\ mH

(b) The energy stored in the inductor is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}LI^2\\\\E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.0179\times (19.5)^2\\\\E=3.4\ J

Hence, this is the required solution.

What changes in airplane longitudinal control must be made to maintain altitude while the airspeed is being decreased?
garik1379 [7]

Explanation:

The  changes can be made in airplane longitudinal control to maintain altitude while the airspeed is being decreased is

We can increase the angle of attack this would compensate for the decreasing lift. As the angle of attack directly controls the distribution of pressure on the wings. Moreover, increase in angle of attack will also cause the drag to increase.

calculate the diameter of a silver wire of length 75cm , which is extended by 1.85mm when a 10kg mass is suspended from it's end
sdas [7]

Answer:0.8\ mm

Explanation:

Given

length of wire l=75\ cm

change in length \Delta l=1.85\ mm

mass of wire m=10\ kg

Young's modulus for silver E=7.9\times 10^{10}\ N/m^2

load on wire F=mg

F=10\times 9.8=98\ kg

change in length is given by

\Delta l=\dfrac{Pl}{AE}

Where A=area of cross-section

A=\dfrac{Pl}{\Delta lE}

A=\dfrac{98\times 0.75}{1.85\times 10^{-3}\times 7.9\times 10^{10}}

A=\dfrac{73.5}{14.615\times 10^{7}}

A=5.029\times 10^{-7}\ m^2

also wire is the shape of cylinder so cross-section is given by

A=\dfrac{\pi d^2}{4}=5.029\times 10^{-7}\ m^2

\Rightarrow d^2=\dfrac{5.029\times 10^{-7}\times 4}{\pi }

\Rightarrow d^2=64.02\times 10^{-8}

\Rightarrow d=8\times 10^{-4}\ m

\Rightarrow d=0.8\ mm
