Answer:

a) t = 0.782

b) v_b/el = -7.67 m/s

c) v_b/e = - 5.17 m/s

d) y_b/e = 1.04 m down-wads

Explanation:

Given:

- initial position of bolt y_b,i = 3.0 m

- initial velocity of bolt v_b,i = 2.50 m/s

- constant velocity of elevator v_e = 2.50 m/s

- acceleration of free fall for bolt a = 9.81 m/s^2

Find

- (a) How long does it take for the bolt to fall to the elevator floor? What is the speed of the bolt just as it hits the elevator floor

- (b) according to an observer in the elevator?

- (c) According to an observer standing on one of the floor landings of the building?

- (d) According to the observer in part (c), what distance did the bolt travel between the ceiling and the floor of the elevator?

Solution:

- The position of bolt y_b is given by kinematic equation of motion:

                         y_b = 3.0 + 2.5*t +0.5*9.81*t^2

- position of floor with constant upward speed is:

                         y_f = 2.50*t

- When bolt hits the floor they have same position:

                         3.0 + 2.5*t +0.5*9.81*t^2 = 2.50*t

                         4.905*t^2 = 3.0

                         t = sqrt(3/4.905) = 0.782 s

- velocity of the bolt relative to earth is:

                         v_b/e = 2.50 - 9.81*0.782

                         v_b/e = -5.17 m/s

- Hence, relative to observer in elevator:

                         v_b/el = -5.17 - 2.5

                         v_b/el = -7.67 m/s

- Relative to earth the distance traveled by bolt is:

                         y_b/e = 2.5 - 0.5*9.81*(0.782)^2

                        y_b/e = -1.04 m (downwards)

Uma carga puntiforme de + 3,0uC é colocada em um ponto P de um campo elétrico gerado por uma partícula eletrizada com carga desc
expeople1 [14]

Responda:

1) E = 6 × 10 ^ 6NC ^ -1 2) Q = 6 × 10 ^ -5

Explicação:

Dado o seguinte:

Carga (q) = 3uC = 3 × 10 ^ -6C

Força elétrica (Fe) = 18N

Intensidade do campo elétrico (E) =?

1)

Lembre-se:

Força elétrica (Fe) = carga (q) * Intensidade do campo elétrico (E)

Fe = qE; E = Fe / q

E = 18N / (3 × 10 ^ -6C)

E = 6N / 10 ^ -6C

E = 6 × 10 ^ 6NC ^ -1

2)

Lembre-se:

E = kQ / r ^ 2

E = intensidade do campo elétrico

Q = carga de origem

r = distância de espera = 30cm = 30/100 = 0,3m

K = 9,0 × 10 ^ 9

6 × 10 ^ 6 = (9,0 × 10 ^ 9 * Q) / 0,3 ^ 2

9,0 × 10 ^ 9 * Q = 6 × 10 ^ 6 * 0,09

Q = 0,54 × 10 ^ 6 / 9,0 × 10 ^ 9

Q = 0,06 × 10 ^ (6-9)

Q = 0,06 × 10 ^ -3

Q = 6 × 10 ^ -5 = 60 × 10 ^ -6 = 60μC

A single-turn circular loop of radius 6 cm is to produce a field at its center that will just cancel the earth's field of magnit
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The current is  I  = 6.68 \  A

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

     The radius of the loop is  r =  6 \ cm  = 0.06 \ m

     The  earth's magnetic field is B_e =  0.7G=  0.7  G * \frac{1*10^{-4} T}{1 G}  = 0.7 *10^{-4} T

      The  number of turns is  N  =1

Generally the magnetic field generated by the current in the loop is mathematically represented as

        B  =  \frac{\mu_o  * N  *  I}{2 r }

Now for the earth's magnetic field to be canceled out the magnetic field generated by the loop must be equal to the magnetic field out the earth

         B  =  B_e

=>     B_e =  \frac{\mu_o  *  N  *  I  }{ 2 * r}

     Where  \mu is the permeability of free space with value  \mu _o  =   4\pi * 10^{-7} N/A^2

       0.7  *10^{-4}=  \frac{ 4\pi * 10^{-7}  * 1 * I}{2 * 0.06}

=>     I  =  \frac{2 *  0.06 *  0.7 *10^{-4}}{ 4\pi * 10^{-7} * 1}

       I  = 6.68 \  A

What is Vatiable Velocity?​
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Explanation: When a body covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time in a specified direction, the body is said to be moving with a variable velocity. Example: A rotating fan at a constant speed has variable velocity, because of continuous change in direction.
