What is the peak emf generated (in V) by rotating a 1000 turn, 42.0 cm diameter coil in the Earth's 5.00 ✕ 10−5 T magnetic field
ELEN [110]

Answer:

5.77 Volt

Explanation:

N = 1000, Diameter = 42 cm = 0.42 m,  t = 12 ms = 12 x 10^-3 s

Change in magnetic field, B = 5 x 10^-5 T

The peak value of emf is given by

e = N x dФ / dt

e = N x A x dB/dt

e = (1000 x 3.14 x 0.21 x 0.21 x 5 x 10^-5) / (1.2 x 10^-3)

e = 5.77 Volt

A 4.87-kg ball of clay is thrown downward from a height of 3.21 m with a speed of 5.21 m/s onto a spring with k = 1570 N/m. The
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Approximately 0.560\; {\rm m}, assuming that:

  • the height of 3.21\; {\rm m} refers to the distance between the clay and the top of the uncompressed spring.
  • air resistance on the clay sphere is negligible,
  • the gravitational field strength is g = 9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}, and
  • the clay sphere did not deform.

Explanation:

Notations:

  • Let k denote the spring constant of the spring.
  • Let m denote the mass of the clay sphere.
  • Let v denote the initial speed of the spring.
  • Let g denote the gravitational field strength.
  • Let h denote the initial vertical distance between the clay and the top of the uncompressed spring.

Let x denote the maximum compression of the spring- the only unknown quantity in this question.

After being compressed by a displacement of x, the elastic potential energy \text{PE}_{\text{spring}} in this spring would be:

\displaystyle \text{PE}_{\text{spring}} = \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2}.

The initial kinetic energy \text{KE} of the clay sphere was:

\displaystyle \text{KE} = \frac{1}{2}\, m \, v^{2}.

When the spring is at the maximum compression:

  • The clay sphere would be right on top of the spring.
  • The top of the spring would be below the original position (when the spring was uncompressed) by x.
  • The initial position of the clay sphere, however, is above the original position of the top of the spring by h = 3.21\; {\rm m}.

Thus, the initial position of the clay sphere (h = 3.21\; {\rm m} above the top of the uncompressed spring) would be above the max-compression position of the clay sphere by (h + x).

The gravitational potential energy involved would be:

\text{GPE} = m\, g\, (h + x).

No mechanical energy would be lost under the assumptions listed above. Thus:

\text{PE}_\text{spring} = \text{KE} + \text{GPE}.

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\, m\, v^{2} + m\, g\, (h + x).

Rearrange this equation to obtain a quadratic equation about the only unknown, x:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2} - m\, g\, x - \left[\left(\frac{1}{2}\, m\, v^{2}\right)+ (m\, g\, h)\right] = 0.

Substitute in k = 1570\; {\rm N \cdot m^{-1}}, m = 4.87\; {\rm kg}, v = 5.21\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}, g = 9.81\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-2}}, and h = 3.21\; {\rm m}. Let the unit of x be meters.

785\, x^{2} - 47.775\, x - 219.453 \approx 0 (Rounded. The unit of both sides of this equation is joules.)

Solve using the quadratic formula given that x \ge 0:

\begin{aligned}x &\approx \frac{-(-47.775) + \sqrt{(-47.775)^{2} - 4 \times 785 \times (-219.453)}}{2 \times 785} \\ &\approx 0.560\; {\rm m}\end{aligned}.

(The other root is negative and is thus invalid.)

Hence, the maximum compression of this spring would be approximately 0.560\; {\rm m}.

On a hot summer day several swimmers decide to jump into a river. They step off the bridge and strike the water at 1.5s later. I
Lilit [14]
The only equation you need is the Δy = v₀t + 1/2at², and in this case, v₀t = 0 because the swimmers are starting from rest. Therefore, Δy = 1/2at², and that is 1/2 x (10m/s²) x (1.5)² = 11.25m. 
With sigfigs it is 11m.

Projectile A is launched horizontally at a speed of 20 meters per second from the top of a cliff and strikes a level surface bel
pogonyaev

Answer: 3 seconds

Explanation:

Initial velocity(u) of projectile A in vertical direction = 0m/s

acceleration due to gravity a=g=9.81m/s^2

Time taken(t) of projectile A = 3s

Initial velocity of projectile B = 0m/s(vertical direction)

We can get height of cliff using parameters of projectile A since it's the same location.

Height(S) = u×t + 0.5×a×t^2

u =0

S= 0.5×9.81×3^2 = 44.145m

Time taken for projectile B to reach the ground:

S = u×t + 0.5×a×t^2

u =0, S=44.145m, a=9.81m/s^2

44.145 = 0.5×9.81×t^2

44.145 = 4.905×t^2

44.145 ÷ 4.905 = t^2

9 = t^2

t = sqrt(9)

t = 3seconds
