-BARSIC- [3]3 years ago

6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's velocity and time taken can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{v}{t} \\$

v is the velocity

t is the time

From the question we have

$a = \frac{160}{4.5} = 35.55555...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

A circular loop of wire with a radius of 15.0cm and oriented in the horizontal xy-plane is located in a region of uniform magnet

Drupady [299]

Answer:

See answer

Explanation:

The area of the circular loop is given by:

$A = \pi r^2$

The magnetic flux is given by:

$\phi = \int \vec{B} \cdot d\vec{A}$

$d\vec{A}$ is parallel to $\vec{B}$ and $\vec{B}$ is constant in magnitude and direction therefore:

$\phi = \int \vec{B} \cdot d\vec{A}= \int BdAcos(0)= B\int dA= B*(\pi r^2)= \pi Br^2$

Part A)

initially the flux is $\phi =\pi B r^2$

after the interval $\Delta t= 2.4 [m/s]$

the flux is

$\phi = 0$

now, the EMF is defined as:

$\epsilon =- \frac{d \phi}{dt}$ ,

if we consider $\Delta t= 2.4 [m/s]$ very small then we can re-write it as:

$\epsilon =- \frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}$

$\Delta \phi = 0 - \pi B r^2=-\pi (1.7) (0.15)^2=-0.12$

then:

$\epsilon =- \frac{-0.12}{0.0024} = 50 [V]$

Part B)

When looked down from above, the current flows counter clockwise, according to the right hand rule, if you place your thumb upwards (the direction of the magnetic field) and close your fingers, then the current will flow in the direction of your fingers.

A rotating space station is said to create "artificial gravity" - a loosely-defined term used for an acceleration that would be

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

$\omega=0.31\frac{rad}{s}$

Explanation:

The artificial gravity generated by the rotating space station is the same centripetal acceleration due to the rotational motion of the station, which is given by:

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}(1)$

Here, r is the radius and v is the tangential speed, which is given by:

$v=\omega r(2)$

Here $\omega$ is the angular velocity, we replace (2) in (1):

$a_c=\frac{(\omega r)^2}{r}\\\\a_c=\omega^2r$

Recall that $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{200m}{2}=100m$ .

Solving for $\omega$ :

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{a_c}{r}}\\\omega=\sqrt{\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^2}}{100m}}\\\omega=0.31\frac{rad}{s}$

A scientist kept 1,000 grams of a radioactive material in a container. After 66 days, he observed that 125 grams of the radioact

bixtya [17]

The sample appears to have gone through 3 half-lives
1st half life: 1000 to 500 g
2nd half life: 500 to 250 g
3rd half life: 250 to 125 g
The duration of a half-life, therefore, can be inferred to be 66 ÷ (3) = 22 days.

After a 4th half life, there will be 125÷2= 62.5 g.
At this point, an additional 22 days will have passed, for a total of 88 days.
Answer is C.
