The angle of incline of the hill above the horizontal is 8.81°.

Since the hill has a 15.5% grade is one that rises 15.5 m vertically for every 100.0 m of distance in the horizontal direction.

<h3>Tangent of the angle of the incline of the hill,</h3>

The tangent of the angle of the incline of the hill, Ф is

tanФ = vertical rise/horizontal distance = grade of hill

Now, the vertical rise = 15.5 m and the horizontal distance = 100.0 m

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

tanФ = vertical rise/horizontal run

tanФ = 15.5 m/100.0 m

tanФ = 0.155

<h3>Angle of incline of the hill</h3>

Taking inverse tan of both sides, we have

Ф = tan⁻¹(0.155)

Ф = 8.81°

So, the angle of incline of the hill above the horizontal is 8.81°.

The emf induced in a coil that is rotating in a magnetic field will be at a maximum at which moment?
adelina 88 [10]
TLDR: It will reach a maximum when the angle between the area vector and the magnetic field vector are perpendicular to one another.

This is an example that requires you to investigate the properties that occur in electric generators; for example, hydroelectric dams produce electricity by forcing a coil to rotate in the presence of a magnetic field, generating a current.

To solve this, we need to understand the principles of electromotive forces and Lenz’ Law; changing the magnetic field conditions around anything with this potential causes an induced current in the wire that resists this change. This principle is known as Lenz’ Law, and can be described using equations that are specific to certain situations. For this, we need the two that are useful here:

e = -N•dI/dt; dI = ABcos(theta)

where “e” describes the electromotive force, “N” describes the number of loops in the coil, “dI” describes the change in magnetic flux, “dt” describes the change in time, “A” describes the area vector of the coil (this points perpendicular to the loops, intersecting it in open space), “B” describes the magnetic field vector, and theta describes the angle between the area and mag vectors.

Because the number of loops remains constant and the speed of the coils rotation isn’t up for us to decide, the only thing that can increase or decrease the emf is the change in magnetic flux, represented by ABcos(theta). The magnetic field and the size of the loop are also constant, so all we can control is the angle between the two. To generate the largest emf, we need cos(theta) to be as large as possible. To do this, we can search a graph of cos(theta) for the highest point. This occurs when theta equals 90 degrees, or a right angle. Therefore, the electromotive potential will reach a maximum when the angle between the area vector and the magnetic field vector are perpendicular to one another.

Hope this helps!

PLS SHOW WORK !!!!!!! ASAP
Lynna [10]

Answer:

1- For the track B. The potential energy is the same for the two cars, but because of the slope of the track, the car B earn kinetic energy faster. The gravitation acceleration of the cars will be g•sinθ, and the angle of the track B will have a bigger value for sinθ

2- The conservation of energy applies because the roller coaster is a closed track. When a car climb the track, it earn GPE, which is given by mgh, when it get down in the track, it transform GPE in KE, which is given in 1/2mv².

3-

Position of car (m) GPE KE GPE + KE

top (30m) 60000 0 60000

bottom (0m) 0 60000 60000

halfway down (15m) 30000 30000 60000

three-quarters way down 15000 45000 60000
