On a playground, there is a merry‑go‑round. In order to get it moving, Bonnie applies a force of 31 N31 N . The merry‑go‑round m

easures 8.5 m8.5 m from the axis of rotation to the edge where Bonnie applies her force. Assuming she applies her force perpendicularly to a line drawn from the axis of rotation, what is the magnitude of the torque ????τ Bonnie imparts to the merry‑go‑round?

Answer:

The magnitude of the torque is 263.5 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Applied force = 31 N

Distance from the axis = 8.5 m

She applies her force perpendicularly to a line drawn from the axis of rotation

So, The angle is 90°

We need to calculate the torque

Using formula of torque

\tau=Fd\sin\theta

Where, F = force

d = distance

Put the value into the formula

\tau=31\times8.5\sin90

\tau= 263.5\ N

Hence, The magnitude of the torque is 263.5 N.

A magnet is moved in and out of a coil of wire connected to a high-resistance voltmeter. If the number of coils doubles, the ind
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

A. Doubles.

Explanation:

In an electromagnetic device such as a generator, when a wire (conductor) moves through the magnetic field between the South and North poles of a magnet, an electromotive force (e.m.f) is usually induced across a wire

The mode of operation of a generator is that a metal core with copper tightly wound to it (conductor coil) rotates rapidly between the two (2) poles of a horseshoe magnet type. Thus when the conductor coil rotates rapidly, it cuts the magnetic field existing between the poles of the horseshoe magnet and then induces the flow of current.

When a high-resistance voltmeter is connected to an electric circuit, a deflection will arise due to the flow of electricity. Moving the magnet towards the coil of wire will cause the needle of the high-resistance voltmeter to move in one direction. Also, as the magnet is moved out from the coil of wire, the needle of the high-resistance voltmeter moves in the opposite direction.

In this scenario, a magnet is moved in and out of a coil of wire connected to a high-resistance voltmeter. If the number of coils doubles, the induced voltage doubles because the number of turns (voltage) in the primary winding is directly proportional to the number of turns (voltage) in the secondary winding.

A person pushes horizontally with a force of 180. N on a 67.0 kg crate to move it across a level floor. The coefficient of kinet
brilliants [131]

Answer:

a) frictional force  = 93.8 N

b) acceleration = 1.29 ms∧-2

Explanation:

The frictional force can be calculated by :

μ k   = Fk / N

where:

  • μ k = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.14
  • N= normal force or the force perpendicular to the contacting surface
  • Weight of the crate, W = mg = (67 × 10) == 670 N

take acceleration due to gravity = 10m/s∧2

The normal force , N = W = 670N ( upward force equals downward force)

Fk = μ k × N

= 0.14 × 670

Fk  = 93.8 N

b) To calculate the magnitude of crate's acceleration

F - Fk  = ma

where

  • Fk  = frictional force = 93.8N
  • F = horizontal force = 180 N
  • m = mass = 67.0 kg
  • a = magnitude of acceleration (unknown)

by substituting,

180 - 93.8 = 67a

86.2 = 67a

acceleration, a = (86.2 ÷ 67)

a = 1.29 ms∧-2
