A rail gun uses electromagnetic forces to accelerate a projectile to very high velocities. The basic mechanism of acceleration i

s relatively simple and can be illustrated in the following example. A metal rod of mass 30.0 g and electrical resistance 0.400 ? rests on parallel horizontal rails that have negligible electric resistance. The rails are a distance L = 9.00 cm apart. (Figure 1) The rails are also connected to a voltage source providing a voltage of V = 5.00 V . The rod is placed in a vertical magnetic field. The rod begins to slide when the field reaches the value B = 0.131 T . Assume that the rod has a slightly flattened bottom so that it slides instead of rolling. Use 9.80 m/s2 for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Find the coefficient of static friction between the rod and the rails.

Answer:

u_s=0.0802

Explanation:

To find the coefficient of static friction between the rod and the rails first must find the current

Using law ohm:

V=I*R

I=\frac{V}{R}=5.0v/0.40

I=2A

Now using the Gauss Law of magnetic field solve to us'

u_s=\frac{I*L*\beta}{m*g}

Replacing given:

\beta=0.131T,L=9.00cm*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.09m, m=30.0g*\frac{1kg}{1000g}=0.03kg

u_s=\frac{2A*0.09m*0.131T}{0.030kg*9.8m/s^2}

u_s=0.0802

What is the acceleration of a racing car if it's speed is increased uniformly from 44 m /s to 66 m / s over an 11 second period
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

the acceleration of the race car is 2 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the race car, u = 44 m/s

final velocity of the race car, v = 66 m/s

time of motion of the race car, t = 11 s

The acceleration of the race car is  calculated as;

a = \frac{v-u}{t} \\\\a = \frac{66-44}{11} \\\\a = 2 \ m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the race car is 2 m/s²

Why are large astronomical bodies round
-Dominant- [34]
<span>Matter of all types have gravity, which causes it to attract to each other. The most efficient way for all this matter to congregate is the sphere. As they consolidate, they form the shape. As they compress, temperatures in the center of the mass start to go up and if it hits the proper point, it can ignite and become a star.</span>

A 2 column table with 2 rows. The first column is labeled material with entries gold, iron. The second column is labeled specifi
topjm [15]

Iron atoms are heavier than gold atoms

Explanation:

Chart:

 Materials            Specific heat

  Gold                       0.129

  Iron                          0.45

The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1g of the substance by 1K.

We can see that the more the mass of a substance, the higher the specific heat needed to raise the temperature.

Specific heat is directly proportional to the mass of substance.

It also dependent on the amount of heat supplied and the nature of the substance.

  • The mass of a body is the amount of substance it contains.
  • A heavier substance has more number of atoms in it.
  • Since iron has a higher specific it, the atoms must be heavier or more than that of gold.

Newton began his academic career in 1667. For how long was he a working scientist? Was he a very productive scientist?
rjkz [21]
Newton's 3 laws are...

inertia: things tend to continue to do what they are doing.

Change: to make something change you need a force to change it. the force needed = the mass times its acceleration

<span> Resistance: When you push on something, it pushes back.

A ball is dropped from a window and takes two seconds to reach the ground .it starts from rest and reaches a final speed of 20m/
Akimi4 [234]
The ball can't reach the speed of 20 m/s in two seconds, unless you THROW it down from the window with a little bit of initial speed. If you just drop it, then the highest speed it can have after two seconds is 19.6 m/s .

If an object starts from rest and its speed after 2 seconds is 20 m/s, then its acceleration is 20/2 = 10 m/s^2 .

(Gravity on Earth is only 9.8 m/s^2.)
