The closer to the equator, the hotter the climate will be.
Answer:
A) B = 5.4 10⁻⁵ T, B) the positive side of the bar is to the West
Explanation:
A) For this exercise we must use the expression of Faraday's law for a moving body
fem =
fem = - d (B l y) / dt = - B lv
B =
we calculate
B = - 7.9 10⁻⁴ /(0.73 20)
B = 5.4 10⁻⁵ T
B) to determine which side of the bar is positive, we must use the right hand rule
the thumb points in the direction of the rod movement to the south, the magnetic field points in the horizontal direction and the rod is in the east-west direction.
Therefore the force points in the direction perpendicular to the velocity and the magnetic field is in the east direction; therefore the positive side of the bar is to the West
Periodic time is the time taken for one complete oscillation by a body in circular motion. In this case the merry-go round takes 2 minutes to cover 15 complete oscillations. 2 Minutes = 120 seconds
Hence, 15 oscillations takes 120 secs
thus 1 oscillation takes 120/15 = 8 seconds
therefore the period of the merry-go-round = 8 seconds
