Answer:

The average force F_avg = m*g

Explanation:

Given:

- Mass of the ball = m

- Initially at height = h

- Dropped from rest v_i = 0

Find:

The average force F_avg that the ball imparts to the scale on every hit.

Solution:

- The velocity of the ball just before it hits the scale can be evaluated by the energy conservation as follows:

                                  E.K_1 + E.P_1 = E.K_2 + E.P_2

- Where,                     E.K = 0 ..... initial velocity V_i = 0

                                  E.P = 0 ...... Scale is the datum reference.

Hence,

                                  E.P_1 = E.K_2

                                  m*g*h = 0.5*m*V_o^2

                                  V_o = sqrt ( 2*g*h)

- We will apply the conservation of momentum on the ball just before it hits the scale and just after produces an impulse. The impulse is given by Newton's second law of motion:

                                  Ft = m*(V_f - V_o )

Where, Ft is the impulse. V_f velocity after impact. V_o = V_f (no loss of energy upon impact) - assumption.

- Taking upward direction as +.

                                  Ft = m*(V_o + V_o ) = 2*m*V_o

                                  Ft = 2*m*sqrt ( 2*g*h)

- The total time between two successive hits T can be calculated by using second kinematic equation of motion in vertical direction, as follows:

                                  y = y(0) + V_o*T - 0.5*g*T^2

Where,                       y = y(0) = 0   ... start and end points same.. Datum

Hence,

                                  0 = 0+ V_o*T - 0.5*g*T^2

                                  0 = V_o - 0.5*g*T

                                  T = 2*V_o / g = 2*sqrt ( 2*g*h) / g

- The average force F_avg can now be calculated using the expression given:

                                  F_avg*T = Ft

                                  F_avg = Ft / T

                                  F_avg = [2*m*sqrt ( 2*g*h)] / [2*sqrt ( 2*g*h) / g]

                                  F_avg = m*g

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

Part A

According to Faraday's law the induced emf in coil is equal to negative of its rate of change of magnetic flux time the number of turns in the coil.

\epsilon = -N\frac{d\phi}{dt}= -N\Delta\frac{BA}{\Delta t}

When an emf generated by a change of magnetic flux, produced current of whose magnetic field opposes the change  which produces it.

By the above equation the correct options are 1,2 and 4

Part B

Large signals of  frequency of 60Hz are measured by osciloscope.

Hence the correct option is part 1.
