A -kilogram car travels at a constant speed of 20. meters per second around a horizontal circular track. The diameter of the tra

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration of the car is $8\ m/s^2$ .

Explanation:

Let the mass of the car, $m=10^3\ kg$

Diameter of the circular path, d = 100 m

Speed of car, v = 20 m/s

Radius, r = 50 m

When an object moves in a circular path, the centripetal acceleration acts on it. It is given by :

$a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}$

$a=\dfrac{(20\ m/s)^2}{50\ m}$

$a=8\ m/s^2$

So, the centripetal acceleration of the car is $8\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

There are two tuning forks struck at the same time. One tuning fork is tuned to a frequency note of 500 Hz. The other is tuned t

fomenos

Answer: 26 beats in 2 seconds

Explanation:

The number of beats per second = frequency of tuning fork 1 - frequency of tuning fork 2.

Given :

- frequency of tuning fork 1 = 500Hz

- frequency of tuning fork 2 = 487Hz

Thus,

Beats per second = 500 - 487

= 13 beats per second

Therefore in two(2) seconds, you will have 2 x 13 = 26 seconds.

True or false?

Ksju [112]

1. False

Explanation: it's exactly the opposite. In fact, Lenz's law states that the induced current and the induced emf in a conductor are generated in such a direction that opposes to the change in magnetic flux through the coil. This is summarized by the negative sign in the Faraday's Newmann Lenz law:

$\epsilon= -\frac{d\Phi }{dt}$

where $\epsilon$ is the emf induced and $\frac{d\Phi}{dt}$ is the rate of change of magnetic flux through the coil.

Lenz's law is a consequence of the law of conservation of energy. In fact, we have:

- If the magnetic flux through a coil is increasing, then the induced current has a direction such that the magnetic field generated by the coil is opposite to the direction of the external magnetic field, in order to decrease the total flux

- If the magnetic flux through a coil is decreasing, then the induced current has a direction such that the magnetic field generated by the coil is in the same direction as the external field, in order to increase the total flux

2. False

Explanation: the magnetic flux through a surface is given by

$\Phi = BA cos \theta$

where

B is the magnitude of the magnetic field

A is the surface area

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of B and the normal vector to the surface

As we see, the magnetic flux depends not only on B and A, but also on the orientation of the coil with respect to the magnetic field.

3. False

Explanation:

- Sound waves are mechanical waves: mechanical waves are waves consisting of oscillations of the particles in a medium. Due to their nature, therefore, mechanical waves can propagate only in the presence of a medium

- Electromagnetic waves are NOT mechanical waves: they consist of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields, in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. Since em waves are not mechanical waves, they do NOT need a medium to propagate, since they can also travel through a vacuum; therefore the original statement is false.

AM radio signals have frequencies between 550 kHz and 1600 kHz (kilohertz) and travel with a speed of 3.0Ã108m/s. What are the w

Westkost [7]

Answer:

The wavelength of these signals is as follow:

Wavelength of 550 kHz is 545.45 m
Wavelength of 1600 kHz is 187.5 m

Explanation:

Given that:

Frequency = 550 kHz & 1600 kHz

Velocity = 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s

As we know that frequency is expressed by the following equation:

Frequency = Velocity / Wavelength ---- (1)

For 550 kHz:

The equation can be rearranged as

Wavelength = Velocity / Frequency

Wavelength = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s) / (550 x 1000 Hz)

Wavelength = 545.45 m

For 1600 kHz:

Wavelength = Velocity / Frequency

Wavelength = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s) / (1600 x 1000 Hz)

Wavelength = 187.5 m

When a 12 V battery is connected to a 6 uF capacitor, how much energy is stored

adoni [48]

The energy stored in a capacitor is

E = (1/2) · (capacitance) · (voltage)²

E = (1/2) · (6 x 10⁻⁶ F) · (12 V)²

E = (3 x 10⁻⁶ F) · (144 V²)

<em>E = 4.32 x 10⁻⁴ Joule</em>

(That's 0.000432 of a Joule)
