A 0.73-m aluminum bar is held with its length parallel to the east-west direction and dropped from a bridge. Just before the bar

hits the river below, its speed is 20 m/s, and the emf induced across its length is 7.9 x 10-4 V. Assuming the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field at the location of the bar points directly north, (a) determine the magnitude of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field, and (b) state whether the east end or the west end of the bar is positive.

Answer:

A)  B = 5.4 10⁻⁵ T, B) the positive side of the bar is to the West

Explanation:

A) For this exercise we must use the expression of Faraday's law for a moving body

            fem = -  \frac{d \phi }{dt}

            fem = - \frac{d (B l y}{dt}= - B l v- d (B l y) / dt = - B lv

            B = - \frac{fem}{l \ v}

we calculate

             B = - 7.9 10⁻⁴ /(0.73 20)

             B = 5.4 10⁻⁵ T

B) to determine which side of the bar is positive, we must use the right hand rule

the thumb points in the direction of the rod movement to the south, the magnetic field points in the horizontal direction and the rod is in the east-west direction.

Therefore the force points in the direction perpendicular to the velocity and the magnetic field is in the east direction; therefore the positive side of the bar is to the West

A wheel of diameter 8.0 cm has a cord of length 6.0 m wound around its periphery. Starting from rest, the wheel is given a const
MAVERICK [17]

Answer: time t = 10s

Explanation:

Given;

Diameter = 8.0cm = 0.08m

Radius r = diameter/2 = 0.08/2 = 0.04m

Cord length d = 6.0m

Angular acceleration = 3.0rads/s2

Time = t

Converting the angular acceleration to linear acceleration

a = a* × r = 3.0 × 0.04 = 0.12m/s

d = vt + 1/2 (a × t^2)

Initial velocity v = 0, vt = 0 therefore;

d = 1/2 ( a × t^2)

t = √(2d/a)

t = √ [(2× 6)/0.12]

t = 10s

A kangaroo can jump over an object 2.46 m high. (a) Calculate its vertical speed (in m/s) when it leaves the ground.
Elenna [48]

Answer:

a) 6.95 m/s

b) 1.42 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2\times -9.81\times 2.46-0^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 2.46}\\\Rightarrow u=6.95\ m/s

a) The vertical speed when it leaves the ground. is 6.95 m/s

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-6.95}{-9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=0.71\ s

Time taken to reach the maximum height is 0.71 seconds

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 2.46=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{2.46\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.71\ s

Time taken to reach the ground from the maximum height is 0.71 seconds

b) Time it stayed in the air is 0.71+0.71 = 1.42 seconds
