Answer:

TRUE

In a wire, negatively charged electrons move, and positively charged atoms don't. Electrical engineers say that, in an electrical circuit, electricity flows one direction: out of the positive terminal of a battery and back into the negative terminal.

A lot of people think of electron flow as electrons moving along a wire freely like cars go down a highway.

Why do the magnetic forces acting on the coil change as the current running through the coil changes?

VladimirAG [237]

Answer: The changing magnetic field caused by the material's motion induces a current in the coil of wire proportional to the change in field. If a 0 is represented, the magnetic field does not change between the two domains of a bit, so no current is induced as the magnetic material passes the coil.

Write a list of at least five scientific methods.

kolbaska11 [484]

1- You should always have a question for your experiment.
2- You need to conduct background research. It helps to write down your sources so you can cite your references.
3- Propose a hypothesis (educated guess on what you believe the outcome of the experiment will be)
4- Design and perform an experiment to test your hypothesis (include independent and dependent variable)
5- Record observations and analyze what the data means.
6- Conclude whether you need to accept or reject your hypothesis, which accepting means your hypothesis was right and rejected is if it was wrong.

A loaded ore car has a mass of 950 kg. and rolls on rails ofnegligible friction. It starts from rest ans is pulled up a mineshaf

stiks02 [169]

(a) 10241 W

In this situation, the car is moving at constant speed: this means that its acceleration along the direction parallel to the slope is zero, and so the net force along this direction is also zero.

The equation of the forces along the parallel direction is:

$F - mg sin \theta = 0$

where

F is the force applied to pull the car

m = 950 kg is the mass of the car

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

$\theta=30.0^{\circ}$ is the angle of the incline

Solving for F,

$F=mg sin \theta = (950)(9.8)(sin 30.0^{\circ})=4655 N$

Now we know that the car is moving at constant velocity of

v = 2.20 m/s

So we can find the power done by the motor during the constant speed phase as

$P=Fv = (4655)(2.20)=10241 W$

(b) 10624 W

The maximum power is provided during the phase of acceleration, because during this phase the force applied is maximum. The acceleration of the car can be found with the equation

$v=u+at$

where

v = 2.20 m/s is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

u = 0 is the initial velocity

t = 12.0 s is the time

Solving for a,

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{2.20-0}{12.0}=0.183 m/s^2$

So now the equation of the forces along the direction parallel to the incline is

$F - mg sin \theta = ma$

And solving for F, we find the maximum force applied by the motor:

$F=ma+mgsin \theta =(950)(0.183)+(950)(9.8)(sin 30^{\circ})=4829 N$

The maximum power will be applied when the velocity is maximum, v = 2.20 m/s, and so it is:

$P=Fv=(4829)(2.20)=10624 W$

(c) $5.82\cdot 10^6 J$

Due to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy transferred out of the motor by work must be equal to the gravitational potential energy gained by the car.

The change in potential energy of the car is:

$\Delta U = mg \Delta h$
