Answer:

Magnetoreception (also magnetoception) is a sense which allows an organism to detect a magnetic field to perceive direction, altitude, or location. This sensory modality is used by a range of animals for orientation and navigation, and as a method for animals to develop regional maps.

Ele is playing with a ball in a bus that moves in a straight line with constant velocity What can you say about the motion of th

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The ball will fall back and land to Elle's hands.

Explanation:

The bus move in a straight line with constant velocity means that there is no change of direction and no acceleration. Inertia can change the direction of the ball and acceleration can change its velocity. Since these two factors is not present in this scenario, the ball only has vertical movement. Thus the ball will land where it was thrown, in Elle's hands.

A) A spaceship passes you at a speed of 0.800c. You measure its length to be 31.2 m .How long would it be when at rest?

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

$l_o =52 \ m$

$l = 37.13 \ LY$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of the spaceship is $v = 0.800c$

Here c is the speed of light with value $c = 3.0*10^{8} \ m/s$

The length is $l = 31.2 \ m$

The distance of the star for earth is $d = 145 \ light \ years$

The speed is $v_s = 2.90 *10^{8}$

Generally the from the length contraction equation we have that

$l = l_o \sqrt{1 -[\frac{v}{c } ]}$

Now the when at rest the length is $l_o$

$l_o =\frac{l}{\sqrt{ 1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2 } } }$

$l_o =\frac{ 31.2 }{ \sqrt{1 - \frac{(0.800c ) ^2}{c^2} } }$

$l_o=52 \ m$

Considering b

Applying above equation

$l =l_o \sqrt{1 - [\frac{v}{c } ]}$

Here $l_o =145 \ LY(light \ years )$

$l=145 * \sqrt{1 - \frac{v_s^2}{c^2 } }$

$l =145 * \sqrt{ 1 - \frac{2.9 *10^{8}}{3.0*10^{8}} }$

$l = 37.13 \ LY$

Find the length (in m) of an organ pipe closed at one end that produces a fundamental frequency of 494 Hz when air temperature i

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

0.173 m.

Explanation:

The fundamental frequency of a closed pipe is given as

fc = v/4l .................. Equation 1

Where fc = fundamental frequency of a closed pipe, v = speed of sound l = length of the pipe.

Making l the subject of the equation,

l = v/4fc ................ Equation 2

also

v = 331.5×0.6T ................. Equation 3

Where T = temperature in °C, T = 18.0 °c

Substitute into equation 3

v = 331.5+0.6(18)

v = 331.5+10.8

v = 342.3 m/s.

Also given: fc = 494 Hz,

Substitute into equation 2

l = 342.3/(4×494)

l = 342.3/1976

l =0.173 m.

Hence the length of the organ pipe = 0.173 m.

A solenoid with an inductance of 8 mH is connected in series with a resistance of 5 Ω and an EMF forming a series RL circuit. A

monitta

Answer:

induced EMF = 240 V

and by the lenz's law direction of induced EMF is opposite to the applied EMF

Explanation:

given data

inductance = 8 mH

resistance = 5 Ω

current = 4.0 A

time t = 0

current grow = 4.0 A to 10.0 A

to find out

value and the direction of the induced EMF

solution

we get here induced EMF of induction is express as

E = - L $\frac{dI}{dt}$ ...................1

so E = - L $\frac{I2 - I1}{dt}$

put here value we get

E = - 8 × $10^{-3}$ $\frac{10 - 4}{0.2*10^{-3}}$

E = -40 × 6

E = -240

take magnitude

induced EMF = 240 V

and by the lenz's law we get direction of induced EMF is opposite to the applied EMF
