Answer:
A solenoid is a device comprised of a coil of wire, the housing and a moveable plunger (armature). When an electrical current is introduced, a magnetic field forms around the coil which draws the plunger in. More simply, a solenoid converts electrical energy into mechanical work.
Explanation:
The coil is made of many turns of tightly wound copper wire. When an electrical current flows through this wire, a strong magnetic field/flux is created.
The housing, usually made of iron or steel, surrounds the coil concentrating the magnetic field generated by the coil.
The plunger is attracted to the stop through the concentration of the magnetic field providing the mechanical force to do work.
Answer:
17.2 seconds
Explanation:
Given:
v₀ = 0 m/s
a₁ = 10.0 m/s²
t₁ = 3.0 s
a₂ = 16 m/s²
t₂ = 5.0 s
a₃ = -12 m/s²
v₃ = 0 m/s
Find: t
First, find v₁:
v₁ = a₁t₁ + v₀
v₁ = (10.0 m/s²) (3.0 s) + (0 m/s)
v₁ = 30 m/s
Next, find v₂:
v₂ = a₂t₂ + v₁
v₂ = (16 m/s²) (5.0 s) + (30 m/s)
v₂ = 110 m/s
Finally, find t₃:
v₃ = a₃t₃ + v₂
(0 m/s) = (-12 m/s²) t₃ + (110 m/s)
t₃ = 9.2 s
The total time is:
t = t₁ + t₂ + t₃
t = 3.0 s + 5.0 s + 9.2 s
t = 17.2 s
Round as needed.
Answer:
9654.34 m
Explanation:
from conservation of momentum
And from Conservation of Energy
potential energy = mass × gravity × height
so, change in potential energy = mass × gravity × change in height
2 = 50 × 10 × Δh
2 ÷ 500 = Δh
Δh = 0.004 m
This distance does depend on the initial velocity of the ball.
