A ring with an 18mm diameter falls off a scientist's finger into the solenoid in the lab. The solenoid is 25 cm long, 5.0 cm in

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

The value is $\epsilon = 3.84 *10^{-5} \ V$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The diameter of the ring is $d = 18 \ mm = 0.018 \ m$

The length of the solenoid is $l = 25 \ cm = 0.25 \ m$

The diameter of the solenoid is $D = 5.0 \ cm = 0.05 \ m$

The number of turns is N = 1500

The change in current in the solenoid is $\Delta I = 20 \ A$

The time taken is $\Delta t = 1 \ s$

Generally the radius of the ring is

$r = \frac{d}{2}$

=> $r = \frac{0.018 }{2}$

=> $r = 0.009 \ m$

Generally the area of the ring is mathematically represented as

$A = \pi r^2$

=> $A = 3.142 * 0.009^2$

=> $A = 2.545 *10^{-4}\ m^2$

Generally the induced emf is mathematically represented as

$\epsilon = A * \frac{dB}{dt}$

Here

$\frac{dB }{dt} = \mu_o * \frac{N}{l} *\frac{ \Delta I }{\Delta t}$

Here $\mu_o$ is the permeability of free space with value

$\mu_o = 4\pi *10^{-7} \ N/A^2$

$\frac{dB }{dt} = 4\pi * 10^{-7} * \frac{1500}{0.25} *\frac{20 }{1}$

=> $\frac{dB }{dt} = 0.150816\ T/s$

$\epsilon = 0.150816 * 2.545 *10^{-4}$

=> $\epsilon = 3.84 *10^{-5} \ V$

a wave is described by where x is in meters, y is in centimeters and t is in seconds. The angular frequency is

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Complete Question

A wave is described by y(x,t) = 0.1 sin(3x + 10t), where x is in meters, y is in centimetres and t is in seconds. The angular wave frequency is

Answer:

The value is $w = 10 \ rad /s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The equation describing the wave is y(x,t) = 0.1 sin(3x + 10t)

Generally the sinusoidal equation representing the motion of a wave is mathematically represented as

$y(x,t) = Asin(kx + wt )$

Where w is the angular frequency

Now comparing this equation with that given we see that

$w = 10 \ rad /s$

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes 2.5 s

gulaghasi [49]

(a) 0.96 m/s

The period of the wave corresponds to the time taken for one complete oscillation of the boat, from the highest point to the highest point again. Since the time between the highest point and the lowest point is 2.5 s, the period is twice this time:

$T=2\cdot 2.5 s=5.0 s$

The frequency of the waves is the reciprocal of the period:

$f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{5.0 s}=0.20 Hz$

The wavelength instead is just the distance between two consecutive crests, so

$\lambda=4.8 m$

And the wave speed is given by:

$v=\lambda f=(4.8 m)(0.20 Hz)=0.96 m/s$

(b) 0.265 m

The total distance between the highest point of the wave and its lowest point is

d = 0.53 m

The amplitude is just the maximum displacement of the wave from the equilibrium position, so it is equal to half of this distance. So, the amplitude is

$A=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.53 m}{2}=0.265 m$

(c) Amplitude: 0.15 m, wave speed: same as before

In this case, the amplitude of the wave would be lower. In fact,

d = 0.30 m

So the amplitude would be

$A=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.30 m}{2}=0.15 m$

Instead, the wave speed would not change, since neither the frequency nor the wavelength of the wave have changed.
