Answer:

An insulator opposes the flow of electricity. Insulators are important to keep us safe from electricity. The wire that carries electricity to your computer or television is covered with a rubber-like insulator that protects you from getting electrocuted. Good insulators include glass, the air, and paper.

You are standing at the top of a cliff that has a stairstep configuration. There is a vertical drop of 7 m at your feet, then a

Zolol [24]

Answer:

1. v = 6.67 m/s

2. d = 9.54 m

Explanation:

1. To find the horizontal velocity of the rock we need to use the following equation:

$d = v*t \rightarrow v = \frac{d}{t}$

<u>Where</u>:

d: is the distance traveled by the rock

t: is the time

The time can be calculated as follows:

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2d}{g}}$

<u>Where:</u>

g: is gravity = 9.8 m/s²

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2d}{g}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*7 m}{9.8 m/s^{2}}} = 1.20 s$

Now, the horizontal velocity of the rock is:

$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{8 m}{1.20 s} = 6.67 m/s$

Hence, the initial velocity required to barely reach the edge of the shell below you is 6.67 m/s.

2. To calculate the distance at which the projectile will land, first, we need to find the time:

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2d}{g}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*(7 m + 3 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}} = 1.43 s$

So, the distance is:

$d = v*t = 6.67 m/s*1.43 s = 9.54 m$

Therefore, the projectile will land at 9.54 m of the second cliff.

I hope it helps you!

An emf is induced in a conducting loop of wire 1.22 m long as its shape is changed from square to circular. Find the average mag

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

The induced emf in the loop is $7.35\times 10^{-4}\ V$

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the wire, L = 1.22 m

It changes its shape is changed from square to circular. Then the side of square be its circumference, 4a = L

4a = 1.22

a = 0.305 m

Area of square, $A=a^2=(0.305)^2=0.0930\ m^2$

Circumference of the loop,

$C=2\pi r=L\\\\r=\dfrac{L}{2\pi}\\\\r=\dfrac{1.22}{2\pi}=0.194\ m$

Area of circle,

$A'=\pi r^2\\A'=\pi (0.194)^2\\\\A'=0.118\ m^2$

The induced emf is given by :

$\epsilon=\dfrac{\d\phi}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=\dfrac{\d(BA)}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=B\dfrac{A'-A}{t}\\\\\epsilon=0.125 \times \dfrac{0.118-0.0930}{4.25}\\\\\epsilon=7.35\times 10^{-4}\ V$

So, the induced emf in the loop is $7.35\times 10^{-4}\ V$
