Answer:

The formation of a rainbow is more a demonstration of the wave-like behavior of light.

Explanation:

A rainbow is caused by the interaction of sunlight with atmospheric conditions. A rainbow formation results from the refraction and reflection of light due to changes in the light's wavelength direction. Naturally, light enters a water droplet, slowing down and bending as it goes from air to denser water in a refraction as if "bent." Then light reflects off the inside of the droplet, separating into its component wavelengths or colors. With light exiting from the droplet, a rainbow is formed.

Ionic bonds form between what

AysviL [449]

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds are formed between a cation, which is usually a metal, and an anion, which is usually a nonmetal.

Aloop of wire of area 71 cm^2 is placed with its plane parallel to a 16 mt magnetic field. the loop is then rotated so that its

kkurt [141]

Answer:

Approximately 1.62 × 10⁻⁴ V.

Explanation:

The average EMF in the coil is equal to

$\displaystyle \frac{\text{Final Magnetic Flux} - \text{Initial Magnetic Flux}}{2}$ ,

Why does this formula work?

By Faraday's Law of Induction, the EMF $\epsilon$ induced in a coil (one loop) is equal to the rate of change in the magnetic flux $\Phi$ through the coil.

$\displaystyle \epsilon(t) = \frac{d}{dt}(\Phi(t))$ .

Finding the average EMF in the coil is similar to finding the average velocity.

$\displaystyle \text{Average}\; \epsilon = \frac{1}{t}\int_0^t \epsilon(t)\cdot dt$ .

However, by the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, integration reverts the action of differentiation. That is:

$\displaystyle \int_0^{t} \epsilon(t)\cdot dt = \int_0^{t} \frac{d}{dt}\Phi(t)\cdot dt = \Phi(t) - \Phi(0)$ .

Hence the equation

$\displaystyle \text{Average}\; \epsilon = \frac{1}{t}\int_0^t \epsilon(t)\cdot dt = \frac{\Phi(t)- \Phi(0)}{t}$ .

Note that information about the constant term in the original function will be lost. However, since this integral is a definite one, the constant term in $\Phi(t)$ won't matter.

Apply this formula to this question. Note that $\Phi$ , the magnetic flux through the coil, can be calculated with the equation

$\Phi = B \cdot A \cdot N \; \sin{\theta}$ .

For this question,

$B = \rm 16\; mT = 16\times 10^{-3}\; T$ is the strength of the magnetic field.
$A = \rm 71\; cm^{2} = 71\times \left(10^{-2}\right)^2 \; m^{2}$ is the area of the coil.
$N = 1$ is the number of loops in the coil.
$\theta$ is the angle between the field lines and the coil.
At $\rm 0\;s$ , the field lines are parallel to the coil, $\theta = 0^{\circ}$ .
At $\rm 0.7\; s$ , the field lines are perpendicular to the coil, $\displaystyle \theta = 90^{\circ}$ .

Initial flux: $\Phi(0)= 0$ .

Final flux: $\Phi(0.7) = \rm 1.1136\times 10^{-4}\; Wb$ .

Average EMF, which is the same as the average rate of change in flux:

$\displaystyle \frac{\Phi(0.7) - \Phi(0)}{0.7} \approx\rm 1.62\times 10^{-4}\; V$ .

The two measurements necessary for calculating average speed are

alisha [4.7K]

The correct answer is Option (C) distance and time

Explanation:

Average speed of any object is defined as the total distance that object travels over the time it takes to travel that distance. In other words, average speed is the total distance divided by the elapsed time.

$Average \thinspace Speed = \frac{Total \thinspace Distance}{Elapsed \thinspace Time}$

Therefore, as you can see in the above equation, the two measurements that are essential for the calculation of the average speed are the (total) distance and the (elapsed) time.

Hence, the correct option is C.

2. Categorize each statement as true or false. A cylindrical capacitor is essentially a parallel-plate capacitor rolled into a t

Kruka [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

False --> A cylindrical capacitor is essentially a parallel plate capacitor rolled into a tube. This is because a cylindrical capacitor comprises two cylinders.

False --> The dielectric constant indicates the distance by which the two plates of a capacitor are separated.

True --> The charge on a capacitor increases quickly at first, then much more slowly as the capacitor charges. This is because the charge on the capacitor increases exponentially.

False --> The voltage across a capacitor in an RC circuit increases linearly during charging. This is because the voltage increases exponentially.

True --> One of the principal purposes of a capacitor is to store electric potential energy.

True --> A capacitor charges rapidly when connected to an RC circuit with a battery. This is because a cylindrical capacitor is basically a parallel plate capacitor rolled into a tube.
