The answer is D, because displacement equals average velocity times time. 1.5 m/s times 18s equals 27 meters.

A circular loop of wire with a radius of 15.0 cm and oriented in the horizontal xy-plane is located in a region of uniform magne
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius r = 15cm = 0.15m

Area of the circular loop can be determined using the formula for area of a circle

A = π r²

A = π × 0.15²

A = 0.0708 m²

Magnetic field B = 1.2T in positive z direction

B = 1.2 •k T.

If loop is remove from the field in the time interval

∆t = 2.3ms = 2.3×10^-3s

We want to find the average EMF and it is given as

ε = —∆Φ/∆t

The final flux is zero

Φf = 0

Where magnetic flux is given as

Φi = BA Cosθ

Where θ=0 since the area and the magnetic field point in the same direction.

Φi = BA Cos0

Φi = BA

Φi = 1.2 × 0.0708

Φi = 0.0848 Vs

Then, ε = —∆Φ/∆t

ε = —(Φf — Φi) / ∆t

ε = —(0-0.0848) / (2.3×10^-3)

ε = 0.0848 / (2.3×10^-3)

ε = 36.88 V

The EMF is 36.88 Volts

A positively charged particle of mass 7.2 x 10-8 kg is traveling due east with a speed of 88 m/s and enters a 0.6-T uniform magn
Marianna [84]

Answer:

q = 8.57 10⁻⁵ mC

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law

         F = ma

where force is magnetic force

        F = q v x B

the bold are vectors, if we write the module of this expression we have

         F = qv B sin θ

as the particle moves perpendicular to the field, the angle is θ= 90º

        F = q vB

the acceleration of the particle is centripetal

        a = v² / r

we substitute

        qvB = m v² / r

         qBr = m v

          q =\frac{m\  v}{B\  r}

The exercise indicates the time it takes in the route that is carried out with constant speed, therefore we can use

          v = d / t

the distance is ¼ of the circle,

          d = \frac{1}{4} \  2\pi  r

           d =\frac{\pi }{2r}

we substitute

           v =  \frac{\pi  r}{2t}

           r = \frac{2 \ t  \ v}{\pi }

           

let's calculate

           r =\frac{2 \ 2.2  \ 10^{-3} \ 88}{\pi } 2 2.2 10-3 88 /πpi

           r = 123.25 m

         

let's substitute the values

           q = \frac{ 7.2 \ 10^{-8} \ 88}{ 0.6 \ 123.25}7.2 10-8 88 / 0.6 123.25

            q = 8.57 10⁻⁸ C

Let's reduce to mC

           q = 8.57 10⁻⁸ C (10³ mC / 1C)

           q = 8.57 10⁻⁵ mC

A tree falls in a forest. How many years must pass before the 14C activity in 1.03 g of the tree's carbon drops to 1.02 decay pe
Illusion [34]

Answer:

t = 5.59x10⁴ y

Explanation:

To calculate the time for the ¹⁴C drops to 1.02 decays/h, we need to use the next equation:

A_{t} = A_{0}\cdot e^{- \lambda t}    (1)

<em>where A_{t}: is the number of decays with time, A₀: is the initial activity, λ: is the decay constant and t: is the time.</em>

To find A₀ we can use the following equation:  

A_{0} = N_{0} \lambda   (2)

<em>where N₀: is the initial number of particles of ¹⁴C in the 1.03g of the trees carbon </em>

From equation (2), the N₀ of the ¹⁴C in the trees carbon can be calculated as follows:        

N_{0} = \frac{m_{T} \cdot N_{A} \cdot abundance}{m_{^{12}C}}

<em>where m_{T}: is the tree's carbon mass, N_{A}: is the Avogadro's number and m_{^{12}C}: is the ¹²C mass.  </em>

N_{0} = \frac{1.03g \cdot 6.022\cdot 10^{23} \cdot 1.3\cdot 10^{-12}}{12} = 6.72 \cdot 10^{10} atoms ^{14}C    

Similarly, from equation (2) λ is:

\lambda = \frac{Ln(2)}{t_{1/2}}

<em>where t 1/2: is the half-life of ¹⁴C= 5700 years </em>

\lambda = \frac{Ln(2)}{5700y} = 1.22 \cdot 10^{-4} y^{-1}

So, the initial activity A₀ is:  

A_{0} = 6.72 \cdot 10^{10} \cdot 1.22 \cdot 10^{-4} = 8.20 \cdot 10^{6} decays/y    

Finally, we can calculate the time from equation (1):

t = - \frac{Ln(A_{t}/A_{0})}{\lambda} = - \frac {Ln(\frac{1.02decays \cdot 24h \cdot 365d}{1h\cdot 1d \cdot 1y \cdot 8.20 \cdot 10^{6} decays/y})}{1.22 \cdot 10^{-4} y^{-1}} = 5.59 \cdot 10^{4} y              

I hope it helps you!

What is the difference between scientific law and scientific theory
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

In general, a scientific law is the description of an observed phenomenon. It doesn't explain why the phenomenon exists or what causes it. The explanation of a phenomenon is called a scientific theory.

Use the definition of scalar product, a overscript right-arrow endscripts times b overscript right-arrow endscripts = ab cos θ,
makkiz [27]

Answer: \theta=cos^{-1}0.991=7.69^o

The following vectors have been given: \vec{a}=3.0\widehat{i}+3.0\widehat{j}+3.0\widehat{k}\\ \vec{b}=5.0\widehat{i}+7.0\widehat{j}+6.0\widehat{k}

The angle between these two vectors can be found by:

cos\theta=\frac{\vec{a}.\vec{b}}{||\vec{a}|| ||\vec{b}||}\\&#10;||\vec{a}=\sqrt{a_x^2+a_y^2+a_z^2}

\vec{a}.\vec{b}=a_xb_x+a_yb_y+a_zb_z\\ \vec{a}.\vec{b}=3\times5+3\times7+3\times6=15+21+18=54

||\vec{a}||=\sqrt{3^2+3^2+3^2}=\sqrt{27}\\ ||\vec{b}||=\sqrt{5^2+7^2+6^2}=\sqrt{110}

cos\theta=\frac{54}{\sqrt{27}\times\sqrt{110}}\\=0.991\\ \Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}0.991=7.69^o
