A single loop of nickel wire, lying flat in a plane, has an area of 7.40 cm^2 and a resistance of 2.40 Ω. A uniform magnetic fie

ale4655 [162]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Area of nickel wire, $A=7.4\ cm^2=7.4\times 10^{-4}\ m^2$

Resistance of the wire, R = 2.4 ohms

Initial value of magnetic field, $B_1=0.5\ T$

Final magnetic field, $B_2=3\ T$

Time, t = 1.12 s

Let I is the induced current in the loop of wire over this time. Te emf induced in the wire is given by Faraday's law as :

$\epsilon=-\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}$

$\epsilon=-\dfrac{d(BA)}{dt}$

$\epsilon=-A\dfrac{d(B)}{dt}$

$\epsilon=-A\dfrac{B_2-B_1}{t}$

$\epsilon=-7.4\times 10^{-4}\times \dfrac{3-0.5}{1.12}$

$\epsilon=1.65\times 10^{-3}\ V$

Induced current in the loop of wire is given by :

$I=\dfrac{\epsilon}{R}$

$I=\dfrac{1.65\times 10^{-3}}{2.4}$

$I=6.87\times 10^{-4}\ A$

So, the induced current in the loop of wire over this time is $6.87\times 10^{-4}\ A$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

An object is 15 cm in front of a diverging lens with a

Rainbow [258]

A) See ray diagram in attachment (-6.0 cm)

By looking at the ray diagram, we see that the image is located approximately at a distance of 6-7 cm from the lens. This can be confirmed by using the lens equation:

$\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}$

where

q is the distance of the image from the lens

f = -10 cm is the focal length (negative for a diverging lens)

p = 15 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

Solving for q,

$\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{-10 cm}-\frac{1}{15 cm}=-0.167 cm^{-1}$

$q=\frac{1}{-0.167 cm^{-1}}=-6.0 cm$

B) The image is upright

As we see from the ray diagram, the image is upright. This is also confirmed by the magnification equation:

$h_i = - h_o \frac{q}{p}$

where $h_i, h_o$ are the size of the image and of the object, respectively.

Since q < 0 and p > o, we have that $h_i >0$ , which means that the image is upright.

C) The image is virtual

As we see from the ray diagram, the image is on the same side of the object with respect to the lens: so, it is virtual.

This is also confirmed by the sign of q in the lens equation: since q < 0, it means that the image is virtual

When laser light of wavelength 632.8 nm passes through a diffraction grating, the first bright spots occur at ± 17.8 ∘ from the

o-na [289]

The equation we use is mλ=dsinθ for intensity maximas. We are given at the first maximum (m=1), it occurs at 17.8 degrees. Thus we can solve for d by substituting known values into our equation.

(1) (632.8*10^-9m)=dsin(17.8) => d = 2.07*10^-6m

Next we want to find the angle at the second maximum (m=2) so we need to solve for θ.

(2) (632.8*10^-9m) = (2.07*10^-6m)sinθ

θ=37.69 degrees

Hopes this helps!

P.S. I hope this is right. If not sorry in advance.

The frequency of the George Washington Bridge is 2.05 Hz. What is its period?

Zina [86]

Answer: 0.5 seconds

Explanation:

Given that:

Frequency of the George Washington Bridge F = 2.05 Hz

Period T = ?

Recall that frequency is the number of cycles a wave can complete in one second. Hence, frequency is the inverse of period.

i.e F = 1/T

2.05Hz = 1/T

T = 1/2.05Hz

T = 0.488 seconds (Rounded to the nearest tenth as 0.5seconds)

Thus, the period of the George Washington Bridge is 0.5 seconds

Calculate the potential energy stored in a metal ball of a mass of 80 kg kept at a height of 15m from the earth surface.What wil

True [87]

Answer:

39200 joules

the potential energy will be zero

Explanation:

we know that potential energy is found by multiplying mass, acceleration due to gravity and height from the Earth's surface

so it will be

potential energy= mgh

80x9.8x15

= 39200 joules

the potential energy of the mental ball will be zero when kept on the Earth's surface because the height from the Earth's surface will be zero and zero multiplied to any number is zero only

I have a doubt with the second one, this is what I think it is. Consult your teacher if you think my answer for the second one is wrong
