Answer: a) 18670 W b) 25 hp

Explanation:

a)

Average power,

P = W/t

W= 0.5 MVf^2 - 0.5 MVo^2

Therefore P =( (0.5 x 112 x 34.5^2 ) - (0.5 x 112 x 0 ) ) / 3.57

P = 1.87 x 10^4 W

b)

Power in units of horsepower is

P = 1.87 x 10^4 / 745.7 = 25hp

A circular area with a radius of 6.50 cm lies in the xy-plane. What is the magnitude of the magnetic flux through this circle du

White raven [17]

Answer:

$a. \phi _B=3.0528\times10^-^3T\ m^2\\ \\b. \phi_B=1.83299\times10^-^3T\ m^2\\\\c.\phi_B=0$

Explanation:

#Consider a circular area of radius $R=2.98cm$ in the xy-plane at z=0. This means all the are vector points toward the +ve z-axis.

a. first, find the magnetic flux if the magnetic field has a magnitude of $B=0.23T$ and points toward the +ve z-axis. The angle between the magnetic field and the area is $\theta=0$ . Hence the magnetic flux:-

$\phi _B=\int {\bar B} . d\bar A \\=\int BdAcos(\theta)=BAcos(0)=BA\\\\=\pi R^2B=\pi(6.50\times10^-^3m)^2(0.230T)\\=3.0528\times10^-^3 T\ m^2$

Hence flux magnitude in $+z$ direction is $3.0528\times10^-^3T \ m^2$

b. We now find the magnetic flux when the field has a magnitude of <em>B=0.230T</em> and points at an angle of $\theta=53.1\textdegree$ from the $+z$ direction.

Magnetic flux is calculated as:

$\phi _B=\int\bar B \bar dA\\=\int BdAcos (\theta)=BAcos(0)=BA\\=\pi R^2B=\pi(6.50\times 10^-^2m)^2(0.230T)\\=1.83299\times 10^-^3 T \ m^2$

Hence the flux at an angle of $53.1\textdegree$ is $1.83299\times 10^-^3T \ m^2$

c. We now need to find the magnetic flux if the field has a magnitue of B=0.230T and points in the direction of +y-direction. As with the previous parts, the magnetic flux will be calculated as:

$\phi_B= \int\bar B \times d\bar A\\=\int BdAcos(\theta)\\=BAcos(90\textdegree)\\=0$

Hence the magnetic flux in the +y-direction is zero.

What is the frequency of radiation whose wavelength is 11.5 a0 ?

irakobra [83]

Answer:

The frequency of radiation is $2.61 \times 10^{17} s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength $\lambda = 11.5 \times 10^{-10}$ m

Speed of light $c = 3 \times 10^{8}$ $\frac{m}{s}$

For finding the frequency of radiation,

$c = f \lambda$

$f = \frac{c}{\lambda}$

$f = \frac{3 \times 10^{8} }{11.5 \times 10^{-10} }$

$f = 2.61 \times 10^{17}$ $s^{-1}$

Therefore, the frequency of radiation is $2.61 \times 10^{17} s^{-1}$

How does newton's second law describe the motion of an object?

vodomira [7]

Answer:

Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
