Total time in between the dropping of the stone and hearing of the echo = 8.9 s

Time taken by the sound to reach the person = 0.9 s

Time taken by the stone to reach the bottom of the well = 8.9 - 0.9 = 8 seconds

Initial speed (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^2

Time taken (t) = 8 seconds

Let the depth of the well be h.

Using the second equation of motion:

$h = ut + \frac{1}{2}\times a \times t^2$

$h = 0 \times 8 + \frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times 8^2$

h = 313.6 m

Hence, the depth of the well is 313.6 m

A simple generator has a square armature 6.0 cm on a side. The armature has 85 turns of 0.59-mm-diameter copper wire and rotates

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

f=15.5 Hz

Explanation:

Let's determine the internal resistance:

$R=\frac{(p*L)}{A}$

ρ = 1.68*10^-8 Ω m

$L=0.060m*4*60 = 14.4m$

$A=\pi*r^2\\A= \pi*(5.9x10^-4m/2)^2=2.734*10^-7m^2$

$R=(1.68*10^-8)*(14.4m)/(2.734*10^-7m^2)= 0.884$ Ω

Since the bulb is rated at 12.0 V and 25.0 W,

Current

$I=\frac{25W}{12.0v}=2.08 A$

Therefore, voltage drop inside generator =

$V=(2.08 A)*(0.88)=2.35v$

Actual EMF required is

$E_{mf}=12.0v+2.35v=14.35v$

Note that this is an RMS value.

The peak voltage is

$v_{peak}=14.15v*\sqrt{2} =20.29v$

For a generator, by Faraday's Law,

$E_{(max)}=N*B*A*w$

$20.29v=(60)*(0.650T)*(0.06m)^2$ *ω

ω $=144.5\frac{rad}{s}$

f=ω/(2π)=

f=144.5 rad/s/(2π)

f=23.001 Hz

A major benefit of the daguerreotype process is that ________.

tigry1 [53]

Daguerreotype is defined as the first practical photographic process which was introduced in Paris on January 7, 1839. To make the image permanent, Daguerre used salt solution. The result of his introduced process is a finely defined image with surface which is delicate. The major benefit of daguerreotype is if the images are correctly preserved, the pictures could last forever. Aside from this, since it produces superior quality of outline, it is thus suitable for portraitures.

A student bikes to school by traveling first dN = 1.00 miles north, then dW = 0.600 miles west, and finally dS = 0.200 miles sou

kompoz [17]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

Define unit vectors along the x and y axes as respectively $\hat{i} \, and \, \hat{j}.$

Then the three successive displacements, written in component form, are respectively
$\vec{dN} = 1.0 \, \hat{j} \\
\vec{dW} = -0.6 \, \hat{i} \\ \vec{dS} = -0.2 \, \hat{j}$

The total displacement for the first leg of the trip is
$\vec{d} = \vec{dN} + \vec{dW} + \vec{dS} \\ \vec{d}= 1.0\hat{j}-0.6\hat{i}-0.2\hat{j} \\ \vec{d}=-0.6\hat{i}+0.8\hat{j}$

Answer:
$\vec{d} = -0.6\hat{i}+0.8\hat{j}$ or (-0.6, 0.8)

A beam of electrons moves at right angles to a magnetic field of 4.5 × 10-2 tesla. If the electrons have a velocity of 6.5 × 106

defon

Answer:

$4.7\cdot 10^{-14}N$

Explanation:

For a charge moving perpendicularly to a magnetic field, the force experienced by the charge is given by:

$F=qvB$

where

q is the magnitude of the charge

v is the velocity

B is the magnetic field strength

In this problem,

$q=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C$

$v=6.5\cdot 10^6 m/s$

$B=4.5\cdot 10^{-2} T$

So the force experienced by the electrons is

$F=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C)(6.5\cdot 10^6 m/s)(4.5\cdot 10^{-2} T)=4.7\cdot 10^{-14}N$

Although blood cells are contained within a special liquid called plasma, the cells themselves are___________.

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Solid

Explanation:

The plasma is the liquid part of blood, it is 90% and accounts for 55% of blood volume. It is what red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets move around in. These cells remain solid within the plasma. I hoped this helped!
