Mary and her younger brother Alex decide to ride the 26 ft diameter carousel at the State Fair. Mary sits on one of the horses i

n the outer section at a distance of 11.5 feet from the center. Alex decides to play it safe and chooses to sit in the inner section at a distance of 6 feet from the center. What is Mary's centripetal acceleration aM compared to that of Alex's centripetal acceleration aA?

Answer:

a_M=1.92a_A

Explanation:

\omega_M=\omega_A = Angular speed

r_M = Distance of Mary = 11.5 ft

r_A = Distance of Alex = 6 ft

Ratio of centripetal acceleration is given by

\dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{\omega_M^2r_M}{\omega_A^2r_A}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=a_A\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=\dfrac{11.5}{6}a_A\\\Rightarrow a_M=1.92a_A

Mary's centripetal acceleration is 1.92 times the centripetal acceleration of Alex

Alik [6]
<span>Brass is an <u>alloy</u>. An alloy is a mixture of elements to form a unique material. Brass is a mixture of copper and zinc and the percentage of each element depends on the desired material. It has a higher malleability than bronze or zinc. Meaning that it can be bend easily into it desired form.</span>

A solenoid with an inductance of 8 mH is connected in series with a resistance of 5 Ω and an EMF forming a series RL circuit. A
monitta

Answer:

induced EMF = 240 V

and by the lenz's law  direction of induced EMF is opposite to the applied EMF

Explanation:

given data

inductance = 8 mH

resistance = 5 Ω

current = 4.0 A

time t = 0

current grow = 4.0 A to 10.0 A

to find out

value and the direction of the induced EMF

solution

we get here induced EMF of induction is express as

E = - L \frac{dI}{dt}    ...................1

so E = - L \frac{I2 - I1}{dt}

put here value we get

E = - 8 × 10^{-3} \frac{10 - 4}{0.2*10^{-3}}

E = -40 ×  6

E = -240

take magnitude

induced EMF = 240 V

and by the lenz's law we get direction of induced EMF is opposite to the applied EMF
