If you were to walk toward a Van der Graaff generator, the effect of its electrical field would get weaker as you walked towards

it.

gavmur [86]3 years ago

This is False.  

If you walk towards a Vander Graaff generator and touch it, your body will be electrically charged with the same sign as the generator (that’s why your hair stands up, because it is charged with static electricity, and…electrical charges of the same sign repel each other)

Note that the Vander Graaff generator is isolated from the ground, so, if the electrical charge is increased, electrical arcs will form and fly off it to any nearby grounded object or person.

A square, single-turn coil 0.132 m on a side is placed with its plane perpendicular to a constant magnetic field. An emf of 27.1
marta [7]

Answer:

0.35 T

Explanation:

Side, a = 0.132 m, e = 27.1 mV = 0.0271 V, dA / dt = 0.0785 m^2 / s

Use the Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction

e = rate of change of magnetic flux

Let b be the strength of magnetic field.

e = dФ / dt

e = d ( B A) / dt

e = B x dA / dt

0.0271 = B x 0.0785

B = 0.35 T

A rifle of mass M is initially at rest, but is free to recoil. It fires a bullet of mass m with a velocity +v relative to the gr
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

V=-\dfrac{mv}{M}

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of rifle = M

Initial velocity ,u= 0

Mass of bullet = m

velocity of bullet =  v

Lets take final speed of the rifle is V

There is no any external force ,that is why linear momentum of the system will be conserve.

Initial linear momentum = Final  linear momentum

 M x 0 + m x 0 = M x V + m v

0 =  M x V + m v

V=-\dfrac{mv}{M}

Negative sign indicates that ,the recoil velocity will be opposite to the direction of bullet velocity.
