A 0.130 m radius, 485-turn coil is rotated one-fourth of a revolution in 4.17 ms, originally having its plane perpendicular to a

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The magnetic field strength needed is 1.619 T

Explanation:

Given;

Number of turns, N = 485-turn

Radius of coil, r = 0.130 m

time of revolution, t = 4.17 ms = 0.00417 s

average induced emf, V = 10,000 V.

Average induced emf is given as;

V = -ΔФ/Δt

where;

ΔФ is change in flux

Δt is change in time

ΔФ $= -NBA(Cos \theta_f - Cos \theta_i)$

where;

N is the number of turns

B is the magnetic field strength

A is the area of the coil = πr²

θ is the angle of inclination of the coil and the magnetic field,

$\theta_f = 90^o\\\theta_i = 0^o$

V = NBACos0/t

V = NBA/t

B = (Vt)/NA

B = (10,000 x 0.00417) / (485 x π x 0.13²)

B =1.619 T

Thus, the magnetic field strength needed is 1.619 T

A 63.3 kg wood board is resting on very smooth ice in the middle of a frozen lake. A 35.7 kg boy stands at one end of the board.

Vlada [557]

The velocity of the board relative to the ice is zero, since both are at rest.

<h3>What is relative velocity?</h3>

Relative velocity is the velocity of an object in relation to another reference object or point.

When two objects are travelling or moving with the same velocity in the same direction, the relative velocity one relative to the other is zero.

Also, when two objects are at rest, the relative velocity one relative to the other is zero.

Therefore, the velocity of the board relative to the ice is zero, since both are at rest.

A golf ball stays on the tee until the golf club hits it. Which of the following principles best describes why this occurs? Grou

givi [52]

Answer:

Newton's First Law of Motion.

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states that an object continues to stay in its state of rest, or of uniform motion, until acted upon by an external force.

So in the case of the golf ball here, the ball stays in its state of rest, on the tee, until the golf club hits it, i.e. , applies an external force on it.

Hence we can say that Newton's First Law of Motion is the principle which is most suitable for explaining this phenomenon.

Why do you think the outer planets have such extensive systems of rings and moons, while the inner planets do not?

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Because of immense gravity

Explanation:

The formation of the Solar system was a very dynamic process. A lot of matter was thrown towards the outer solar system which further formed the Gas giants: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The size of these outer planets is huge so is their gravity.

Because of their huge gravity a lot of matter which was scattered in the outer solar system got attracted towards them. This matter is what make the rings of the outer planets. Also, because of immense gravity they captured larger bodies thus making them their Moons.

A 128 gram Radium-226 sample with a half-life of 2.25 billion years is found. How many grams will remain after two half-lives?

Bess [88]

Answer:

Option B. 32 g

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Original amount (N₀) = 128 g

Half-life (t½) = 2.25 billion years

Number of half-lives (n) = 2

Amount remaining (N) =?

The amount of 128 gram of Radium-226 that will remain after 2 half-lives has elapsed can be obtained as followb

N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀

N = 1/2² × 128

N = 1/4 × 128

N = 0.25 × 128

N = 32 g

Therefore, 32g of the sample will remain.
