Answer:

b) Distance covered before stopping.

Explanation:

If you want to find the distance d required to come to a stop starting at some initial speed v, with braking acceleration a, use the kinematic relation

vf2 - vi2 = 2ad

vi = initial speed at the moment braking begins = v

vf = final speed = 0 (comes to a full stop)

-v2 = 2ad

d = -v2/(2a)

The magnetic field produced by the solenoid in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system designed for measurements on whole huma

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Number of turns per unit length will be $n=2.786\times 10^4turns/m$

Explanation:

We have given that strength of the magnetic field produced by the solenoid B = 7 T

Current in the solenoid i = 200 A

Let the number of turns per unit length is n

Magnetic field due to solenoid is given as $B=\mu ni$ here $\mu$ is permeability of free space n is number of turns per unit length and i is current

So $7=4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times n\times 200$

$n=2.786\times 10^4turns/m$

A man walks along a straight path at a speed of 4 ft/s. A searchlight is located on the ground 6 ft from the path and is kept fo

BARSIC [14]

We are given that,

$\frac{dx}{dt} = 4ft/s$

We need to find $\frac{d\theta}{dt}$ when $x=8ft$

The equation that relates x and $\theta$ can be written as,

$\frac{x}{6} tan\theta$

$x = 6tan\theta$

Differentiating each side with respect to t, we get,

$\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{dx}{d\theta} \cdot \frac{d\theta}{dt}$

$\frac{dx}{dt} = (6sec^2\theta)\cdot \frac{d\theta}{dt}$

$\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{6sec^2\theta} \cdot \frac{dx}{dt}$

Replacing the value of the velocity

$\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{6} cos^2\theta (4)^2$

$\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{8}{3} cos^2\theta$

The value of $cos \theta$ could be found if we know the length of the beam. With this value the equation can be approximated to the relationship between the sides of the triangle that is being formed in order to obtain the numerical value. If this relation is known for the value of x = 6ft, the mathematical relation is obtained. I will add a numerical example (although the answer would end in the previous point) If the length of the beam was 10, then we would have to

$cos\theta = \frac{6}{10}$

$\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{8}{3} (\frac{6}{10})^2$

$\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{24}{25}$

Search light is rotating at a rate of 0.96rad/s

The circuit has a 3 volt EMF and two ohm resistors. How much power in watts does this circuit draw? A) 4.5 , B) 24, C) 1.13 D) 2

dlinn [17]

Answer:

P = 4.5 watts

Explanation:

Given that,

EMF of the circuit, E = 3 volt

The resistance of the resistors, R = 2 ohms

We need to find the power of this circuit. The relation between power, emf and resistance is given by the formula as follows :

$P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}$

Substitute all the values,

$P=\dfrac{3^2}{2}\\\\P=4.5\ W$

So, the power of this circuit is equal to 4.5 watts.
