People have proposed driving motors with the earth's magnetic field. This is possible in principle, but the small field means th

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

636.619772368 A

Explanation:

$\tau$ = Torque = $1\times 10^{-3}\ N/m$

B = Magnetic field of Earth = $5\times 10^{-5}\ T$

A = Area

d = Diameter = 20 cm

Current is given by

$I=\dfrac{\tau}{BA}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{1\times 10^{-3}}{5\times 10^{-5}\times \dfrac{\pi}{4}\times 0.2^2}\\\Rightarrow I=636.619772368\ A$

The current is 636.619772368 A

A wheel with a tire mounted on it rotates at the constant rate of 2.73 revolutions per second. Find the radial acceleration of a

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

110.9 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Distance of the tack from the rotational axis (r) = 37.7 cm

Constant rate of rotation (N) = 2.73 revolutions per second

Now, we know that,

1 revolution = $2\pi$ radians

So, 2.73 revolutions = $2.73\times 2\pi=17.153\ radians$

Therefore, the angular velocity of the tack is, $\omega=17.153\ rad/s$

Now, radial acceleration of the tack is given as:

$a_r=\omega^2 r$

Plug in the given values and solve for $a_r$ . This gives,

$a_r=(17.153\ rad/s)^2\times 37.7\ cm\\a_r=294.225\times 37.7\ cm/s^2\\a_r=11092.28\ cm/s^2\\a_r=110.9\ m/s^2\ \ \ \ \ \ \ [1\ cm = 0.01\ m]$

Therefore, the radial acceleration of the tack is 110.9 m/s².

What causes winds to form?

nlexa [21]

Wind is caused by differences in the atmospheric pressure. When a difference in atmospheric pressure exists, air moves from the higher to the lower pressure area, resulting in winds of various speeds. On a rotating planet, air will also be deflected by the Coriolis effect, except exactly on the equator.
