Answer:

It often happens in a circuit which was conducting,and a switch is opened. Any inductance in the circuit will help the voltage increase due to back emf,and this can cause breakdown of the air insulation and an arc can form.

Between 1911 and 1990, the top of the leaning bell tower at Pisa, Italy, moved toward the south at an average rate of 1.2 mm/y.T

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Angular speed, $\omega=6.90\times 10^{-13}\ rad/s$

Explanation:

It is given that,

The top of the leaning bell tower at Pisa, Italy, moved toward the south at an average rate of, v = 1.2 mm/yr

$1\ mm/yr=3.171\times 10^{-11}\ m/s$

Velocity, $v=3.80\times 10^{-11}\ m/s$

Height of the tower, h = 55 m

The height of the tower is equivalent to the radius. Let $\omega$ is the angular speed of the tower’s top about its base. The relation between the angular speed and the angular speed is given by :

$v=r\omega$

$\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}$

$\omega=\dfrac{3.80\times 10^{-11}\ m/s}{55\ m}$

$\omega=6.90\times 10^{-13}\ rad/s$

So, the average angular speed of the tower’s top about its base is $6.90\times 10^{-13}\ rad/s$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Salmon often jump waterfalls to reach their

natta225 [31]

Answer:

5.0 m/s

Explanation:

The horizontal motion of the salmon is uniform, so the horizontal component of the salmon's velocity is constant and it is

$v_x = u cos \theta$

where u is the initial speed and $\theta=37.7^{\circ}$ . The horizontal distance travelled by the salmon is

$d=v_x t = (ucos \theta)t$

where d = 1.95 m and t is the time needed to reach the final point.

Re-arranging for t,

$t=\frac{d}{v_x}=\frac{d}{u cos \theta}$ (1)

Along the vertical direction, the equation of motion is

$y=h+u_y t -\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where:

y = 0.311 m is the final height reached by the salmon

h = 0 is the initial height

$u_y = u sin \theta$ is the vertical component of the initial velocity of the salmon

$g=9.81 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

Substituting t as found in eq.(1), we get the equation

$y=(u sin \theta) \frac{d}{u cos \theta}- \frac{1}{2}g\frac{d^2}{u^2 cos^2 \theta}=d tan \theta - \frac{1}{2}g\frac{d^2}{u^2 cos^2 \theta}$

and we can solve this formula for u, the initial speed of the salmon:

$y=d tan \theta - \frac{1}{2}g\frac{d^2}{u^2 cos^2 \theta}\\\\u=\sqrt{\frac{gd^2}{2(dtan \theta -y)cos^2 \theta}}=\sqrt{\frac{(9.81)(1.95)^2}{2((1.95)(tan 37.7^{\circ}) -0.311)cos^2 37.7^{\circ}}}=5.0 m/s$

Determina el tamaño de la arista de un cubo hecho de plata, cuya masa es de 10.49 kg.

Sidana [21]

Answer:

88.2 N

Explanation:

Datos

Lcubo = 10 cm = 0.1 m

Vcubo = Vfluido desalojado= 0.1 m x 0.1 m x 0.1 m = 10-3 m

mcubo = 10 kg

dfluido = 1000 kg/m3

g = 9.8 m/s2

Sabemos que el peso aparente de un cuerpo que se sumerge en un fluido es:

Paparente=Preal−Pfluido

Teniendo en cuenta que:

Preal = mcubo⋅gPfluido=E= dfluido⋅Vfluido⋅g

Como el cuerpo se sumerge completamente en el fluido, el volumen de fluido desalojado es exactamente el volumen del cubo. Por lo tanto si sustituimos los datos que nos proporcionan en el enunciado en la primera ecuación:

Paparente=mcubo⋅g−dfluido⋅Vfluido⋅g ⇒Paparente=10 kg ⋅9.8 m/s2 − 1000 kg/m3 ⋅10−3 m ⋅9.8 m/s2 ⇒Paparente = 88.2 N

A 1.70 m tall woman stands 5.00 m in front of a camera with a 50.00 cm focal

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

18.89cm

Explanation:

As we know that the person is standing 5m in front of the camera

$d_0=5m=500cm$

The focal length of the lens =50cm

f=50 cm

By Lens formula we have:

$\dfrac{1}{f} = \dfrac{1}{d_i} + \dfrac{1}{d_o}\\\dfrac{1}{50} = \dfrac{1}{d_i} + \dfrac{1}{500}\\\dfrac{1}{d_i} =\dfrac{1}{50}-\dfrac{1}{500}\\\dfrac{1}{d_i}=0.018\\d_i=55.56cm$

By the formula of magnification

$\dfrac{h_i}{h_o} = \dfrac{55.56}{500}\\\\h_i = \dfrac{55.56}{500} \times h_o\\\\ h_o=1.70m=170cm\\\\Therefore: h_i=\dfrac{55.56}{500} \times$ 170 cm\\\\h_i =18.89 cm$

The height of the image formed is 18.89cm.
