Answer:

a) 1.13 10-8 T.  b) +y direction

Explanation:

a)

For an electromagnetic wave propagating in a vacuum, the wave speed is c = 3. 108 m/s.

At a long distance from the source, the components of the wave (electric and magnetic fields) can be considered as plane waves, so the equations for them can be written as follows:

E(z,t) = Emax cos (kz-ωt-φ) +x

B(z,t) = Bmax cos (kz-ωt-φ) +y

In an electromagnetic wave, the magnetic field and the electric field, at any time, and at any point in space, as the perturbation is propagating at a speed equal to c (light speed in vacuum), are related by this expression:

Bmax = Emax/c

So, solving for Bmax:

Bmax = 3.4 V/m / 3 108 m/s = 1.13 10-8 T.

b) As we have already said, in an electromagnetic wave, the electric field and the magnetic field are perpendicular each other and to the propagation direction, so in this case, the magnetic field propagates in the +y direction.

Lorico [155]

Answer:

a. 0.21 rad/s2

b. 2.205 N

Explanation:

We convert from rpm to rad/s knowing that each revolution has 2π radians and each minute is 60 seconds

200 rpm = 200 * 2π / 60 = 21 rad/s

180 rpm = 180 * 2π / 60 = 18.85 rad/s

r = d/2 = 30cm / 2 = 15 cm = 0.15 m

a)So if the angular speed decreases steadily (at a constant rate) from 21 rad/s to 18.85 rad/s within 10s then the angular acceleration is

\alpha = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} = \frac{21 - 18.85}{10} = 0.21 rad/s^2

b) Assume the grind stone is a solid disk, its moment of inertia is

I = mR^2/2

Where m = 28 kg is the disk mass and R = 0.15 m is the radius of the disk.

I = 28*0.15^2/2 = 0.315 kgm^2

So the friction torque is

T_f = I\alpha = 0.315*0.21 = 0.06615 Nm

The friction force is

F_f = T_f/R = 0.06615 / 0.15 = 0.441 N

Since the friction coefficient is 0.2, we can calculate the normal force that is used to press the knife against the stone

N = F_f/\mu = 0.441/0.2 = 2.205 N
