When you whirl a can at the end of a string in a circular path, what is the direction of the force that acts on the can

Physics

Answer:

Toward the centre of the circular path

Explanation:

The can is moved in a circular path: this means that it is moving by circular motion (uniform circular motion if its tangential speed is constant).

In order to keep a circular motion, an object must have a force that pushes it towards the centre of the circular trajectory: this force is called centripetal force, and its magnitude is given by

F=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where m is the mass of the object, v its tangential speed, r the radius of the trajectory. This force always points towards the centre of the circular path.

A very long, straight solenoid with a cross-sectional area of 2.16 cm^2 is wound with 85.7 turns of wire per centimeter. Startin
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

1.74x10⁻⁵ V

Explanation:

n = 85.7 turns/cm => 8570 turns/metre

The field inside the long solenoid is given by B = μ₀ni

B =  4πx10⁻⁷ x 8570 x 0.175t² = 1.884x10⁻³ t²

dB/dt = 3.78x10⁻³ t

 

Cross-sectional Area'A'= 2.16 cm²=> 2.16 x 10^{-4} m²

Now, rate of change of flux linkage  '|Emf|' is given by:

|Emf| = d(NAB)/dt = NA dB/dt

|Emf|  = 5 x 2.16 x 10^{-4} x 3.78x10⁻³ t

|Emf| = 4.0824x10⁻⁶ t

Considering time 't' at which the current = 3.2A , we have

3.2 = 0.175T²

T² = 3.2/0.175

T = 4.28 s

|emf| = 4.0824x10⁻⁶ t  =>  4.0824x10⁻⁶ x4.28

|emf|= 1.74x10⁻⁵ V

Therefore,the magnitude of the emf induced in the secondary winding is 1.74x10⁻⁵ V

What is the nucleon A number of carbon-14?Express your answer as aninteger.
Deffense [45]

Answer:

14

Explanation:

The total no of protons and neutrons in an atomic nucleus is called mass number, nucleon number or atomic mass number. It is denoted by A.

In this problem, we need to find the nucleon number of carbon-14 i.e. mass number of carbon -14. 14 with carbon shows its mass number.

Hence, the nucleon no of carbon-14 is 14.

A 67.0 kg crate is being raised by means of a rope. Its upward acceleration is 3.50 m/s2. What is the force exerted by the rope
serious [3.7K]
<span>A 67.0 kg crate is being raised by means of a rope. Its upward acceleration is 3.50 m/s2. What is the force exerted by the rope on the crate? 

</span>Newton's Second Law<span> of Motion states, “The force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object times its acceleration.” We calculate as follows:
