Answer:

Time according to earth clock (T0) = 0.22 years (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Time taken by light = 4.5 years

Time taken by ship = 5 years

Speed of light = c

Speed of ship (v) = 90% of c = 0.9c

Find:

Time according to earth clock (T0) = ?

Computation:

Time dilation is ,

T(Difference) = \frac{T0}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }\\\\ (5-4.5)= \frac{T0}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.9c)^2}{c^2} } }\\\\ 0.5=\frac{T0}{\sqrt{1-0.81} }\\\\T0 =0.2179

Time according to earth clock (T0) = 0.22 years (Approx)

The magnet has an unchanging magnetic field: very strong near the magnet, and weak far from the magnet. How did the magnetic fie
STatiana [176]

Answer:

<em>The magnetic field through the coil at first increases steadily up to its maximum value, and then decreases gradually to its minimum value.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

At first, the magnet fall towards the coils;  inducing a gradually increasing magnetic field through the coil as it falls into the coil. At the instance when half the magnet coincides with the coil, the magnetic field magnitude on the coil is at its maximum value. When the magnet falls pass the coil towards the floor, the magnetic field then starts to decrease gradually from a strong magnitude to a weak magnitude.

This action creates a changing magnetic flux around the coil. The result is that an induced current is induced in the coil, and the induced current in the coil will flow in such a way as to oppose the action of the falling magnet. This is based on lenz law that states that the induced current acts in such a way as to oppose the motion or the action that produces it.

A 70.0 kg astronaut is training for accelerations that he will experience upon reentry. He is placed in a centrifuge (r = 15.0 m
Levart [38]

Answer:

1.3823 rad/s

20.7345 m/s

28.66129935 m/s²

a=2.92164g

2006.29095 N radially outward

Explanation:

r = Radius = 15 m

m = Mass of person = 70 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Angular velocity is given by

\omega=13.2\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}\\\Rightarrow \omega=1.3823\ rad/s

Angular velocity is 1.3823 rad/s

Linear velocity is given by

v=r\omega\\\Rightarrow v=15\times 1.3823\\\Rightarrow v=20.7345\ m/s

The linear velocity is 20.7345 m/s

Centripetal acceleration is given by

a_c=r\omega^2\\\Rightarrow a_c=15\times 1.3823^2\\\Rightarrow a_c=28.66129935\ m/s^2

The centripetal acceleration is 28.66129935 m/s²

Acceleration in terms of g

\dfrac{a}{g}=\dfrac{28.66129935}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow a=2.92164g

a=2.92164g

Centripetal force is given by

F_c=ma_c\\\Rightarrow F_c=70\times 28.66129935\\\Rightarrow F_c=2006.29095\ N

The centripetal force is 2006.29095 N radially outward

The torque will be experienced when the centrifuge is speeding up of slowing down i.e., when it is accelerating and decelerating.

A charge of 1.5 µC is placed on the plates of a parallel plate capacitor. The change in voltage across the plates is 36 V. How m
belka [17]

Answer:

Energy stored in the capacitor is U=2.7\times 10^{-5}\ J        

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge, q=1.5\ \mu C=1.5\times 10^{-6}\ C

Potential difference, V = 36 V

We need to find the potential energy is stored in the capacitor. The stored potential energy is given by :

U=\dfrac{1}{2}q\times V

U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.5\times 10^{-6}\times 36  

U = 0.000027 J

U=2.7\times 10^{-5}\ J

So, the potential energy is stored in the capacitor is U=2.7\times 10^{-5}\ J. Hence, this is the required solution.
