An early method of measuring the speed of light makes use of a rotating slotted wheel. A beam of light passes through one of the

slots at the outside edge of the wheel, travels to a distant mirror, and returns to the wheel just in time to pass through the next slot in the wheel. One such slotted wheel has a radius of 6.0 cm and 400 slots at its edge. Measurements taken when the mirror was L = 500 m from the wheel indicated a speed of light of 3.0 ✕ 105 km/s. (a) What was the (constant) angular speed of the wheel?

Answer:

4.7 x 10³ rad / s

Explanation:

During the time light goes and comes back , one slot is replaced by next slot while rotating  before the light source

Time taken by light to travel a distance of 2 x 500 m is

= (2 x 500) / 3 x 10⁸

= 3.333 x 10⁻⁶ s .

In this time period, two consecutive slots come before the source of light one after another by rotation. There are 400 slots so time taken to make one rotation

= 3.333 x 10⁻⁶ x 400

= 13.33 x 10⁻⁴ s

This is the time period so

T = 13.33 X 10⁻⁴

Angular speed

= 2π / T

= \frac{2\times3.14}{13.33\times10^{-4}}

4.7 x 10³ rad / s

Is induced current the same as induced voltage?​
12345 [234]

Answer:Lenz's Law of Electromagnetic Induction. ... This voltage is called an induced emf as it has been induced into the conductor by a changing magnetic field due to electromagnetic induction with the negative sign in Faraday's law telling us the direction of the induced current (or polarity of the induced emf).

Place the object in an electronic balance and measure its mass.
Place a measured amount of water in the cylinder.
Place the object in the cylinder so that it’s fully submerged.
Measure the new level of the liquid and subtract the original level. This is equal to the volume of the object.

Density = mass / volume.
