Answer:

Electrical Energy

Explanation:

An electric generator is a device that changes kinetic energy to electrical energy through electromagnetic induction. Electromagnetic induction is the process of generating electric current with a magnetic field. ... Because the coil is rotating in a magnetic field, electric current is generated in the wire.

How do fluids excert pressure

Artyom0805 [142]

All fluids exert pressure like the air inside a tire. The particles of fluids are constantly moving in all directions at random. As the particles move, they keep bumping into each other and into anything else in their path. These collisions cause pressure, and the pressure is exerted equally in all directions.

Find the potential inside and outside a uniformly charged solid sphere whose radius is R and whose total charge is q. Use infini

amid [387]

Answer:

Recall that the electric field outside a uniformly charged solid sphere is exactly the same as if the charge were all at a point in the centre of the sphere:

$E_{outside} =\frac{1}{4\pi(e_{0})}\frac{Q}{r^{2} } r^{'}$

lnside the sphere, the electric field also acts like a point charge, but only for the proportion of the charge further inside than the point r:

$E_{inside} =\frac{1}{4\pi(e_{0})}\frac{Q}{R^{2} } \frac{r}{R} r^{'}$

To find the potential, we integrate the electric field on a path from infinity (where of course, we take the direct path so that we can write the it as a 1 D integral):

$V(r>R)=\int\limits^r_\infty {\frac{1}{4\pi(e_{0)} }\frac{Q}{r^2} } \, dr=\frac{q}{4\pi(e_{0)} } \frac{1}{r} \\V(r$

= $\frac{q}{4\pi e_{0} } [\frac{1}{R} -\frac{r^{2}-R^{2} }{2R^{3} } ]$

2200 kg semi truck driving down the highway has lost control. The truck rolls across the median and into oncoming traffic. The t

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.

Explanation:

In this exercise we see a case of an entirely inellastic collision between the semi truck and the car, which can be described by the following equation derived from Principle of Linear Momentum Conservation: (We assume that velocity oriented northwards is positive)

$m_{S}\cdot v_{S}+m_{C}\cdot v_{C} = (m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v$ (1)

Where:

$m_{S}$ , $m_{C}$ - Masses of the semi truck and the car, measured in kilograms.

$v_{S}$ , $v_{C}$ - Initial velocities of the semi truck and the car, measured in meters per second.

$v$ - Final speed of the system after collision, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $m_{S} = 2200\,kg$ , $m_{C} = 2000\,kg$ , $v_{C} = 45\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v = -15\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then the initial velocity of the semi truck is:

$m_{S}\cdot v_{S} = (m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v -m_{C}\cdot v_{C}$

$v_{S} = \frac{(m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v - m_{C}\cdot v_{C}}{m_{S}}$

$v_{S} = \left(1+\frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}} \right)\cdot v - \frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}} \cdot v_{C}$

$v_{S} = v +\frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}}\cdot (v-v_{C})$

$v_{S} = -15\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(\frac{2000\,kg}{2200\,kg} \right) \cdot \left(-15\,\frac{m}{s}-45\,\frac{m}{s} \right)$

$v_{S} = -69.545\,\frac{m}{s}$

The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.

A 1150 kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 7.69 m before contacting the beam,

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

the average force 11226 N

Explanation:

Let's analyze the problem we are asked for the average force, during the crash, we can find this from the impulse-momentum equation, but this equation needs the speeds and times of the crash that we could look for by kinematics.

Let's start looking for the stack speeds, it has a free fall, from rest (Vo=0)

Vf² = Vo² - 2gY

Vf² = 0 - 2 9.8 7.69 = 150.7

Vf = 12.3 m / s

This is the speed that the battery likes when it touches the beam. They also give us the distance it travels before stopping, let's calculate the time

Vf = Vo - g t

0 = Vo - g t

t = Vo / g

t = 12.3 / 9.8

t = 1.26 s

This is the time to stop

Now let's use the equation that relates the impulse to the amount of movement

I = Δp

F t = pf-po

The amount of final movement is zero because the system stops

F = - po / t

F = - mv / t

F = - 1150 12.3 / 1.26

F = -11226 N

This is the average force exerted by the stack on the vean
