How does a galvanometer use a magnetic field to indicate the strength of an electric current?

1 answer:

6 0

It consists of a coil in a constant magnetic field. The current in the coil is the current being measured, and changes the magnetic moment of the coil (given by IA where I is current and A is loop area). This coil's magnetic moment feels a torque in this external magnetic field that moves a needle that tells the observer what the current must be, since the external field is known by the designers of the galvanometer.

A rifle fires a bullet at a target. The speed of the bullet is 600m/s. The target is located 400m away. How long does it take fo

Alex

0.67s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed of bullet = 600m/s

Distance of target = 400m

Unknown:

Time taken for bullet to reach target = ?

Solution:

Speed is a physical quantity that expresses the rate of change of distance with time;

Speed = $\frac{distance}{time taken}$

Since time is unknown, we make it the subject of the expression;

time = $\frac{distance }{speed}$ = $\frac{400}{600}$

time = 0.67s

A baseball player throws a baseball with a velocity of 13 m/s north. It is caught by a second player seven seconds later. How fa

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

A. 91 meters north

Explanation:

Take +y to be north.

Given:

v₀ = 13 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

t = 7 s

Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (13 m/s) (7 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (7 s)²

Δy = 91 m

The displacement is 91 m north.

A metal block suspended from a spring balance is submerged in water. You observe that the block displaces 55 cm3 of water and th

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

8977.7 kg/m^3

Explanation:

Volume of water displaced = 55 cm^3 = 55 x 10^-6 m^3

Reading of balance when block is immersed in water = 4.3 N

According to the Archimedes principle, when a body is immersed n a liquid partly or wholly, then there is a loss in the weight of body which is called upthrust or buoyant force. this buoyant force is equal to the weight of liquid displaced by the body.

Buoyant force = weight of the water displaced by the block

Buoyant force = Volume of water displaced x density of water x g

= 55 x 10^-6 x 1000 x .8 = 0.539 N

True weight of the body = Weight of body in water + buoyant force

m g = 4.3 + 0.539 = 4.839

m = 0.4937 kg

Density of block = mass of block / volume of block

= $\frac{0.4937}{55\times10^{-6}}$

Density of block = 8977.7 kg/m^3

A 25 kg child runs at a speed of 5.0 m/s and jumps onto a stationary shopping cart and holds on for dear life. The cart has mass

makkiz [27]

Answer:

3.38 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of child = m₁ = 25

Initial speed of child = u₁ = 5 m/s

Initial speed of cart = u₂ = 0 m/s

Mass of cart = m₂ = 12 kg

Velocity of cart with child on top = v

This is a case of perfectly inelastic collision

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{25\times 5+12\times 0}{25+12}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{125}{37}\\\Rightarrow v=3.38\ m/s$

Velocity of cart with child on top is 3.38 m/s
