A technician is working on an MRI machine. To test it, the technician turns on the MRI machine that produces a strong magnetic f

ield, but then he accidentally drops a screwdriver in this magnetic field. As the screwdriver falls, an emf is induced across the length of the metal shaft, L, of the screwdriver. At one instant, the screwdriver falls with a speed of 2.1 m/s and is oriented as shown in figure so that the induced emf is maximized. The magnitude of the magnetic field at this instant is 2.5 T, and the length of the metal shaft, L, is 10 cm. What is the induced emf across the length of the metal shank at this instant?

Answer:

0.525 V

Explanation:

Noting the given data in the question:

we have,

The speed of the fall of the screw driver, v = 2.1 m/s

The magnitude of the magnetic field, B = 2.5 T

The length of the metal shaft of the screw driver, L = 10 cm = 0.1 m

Now, the induce emf (E) is given as:

E = B × L × v

on substituting the values in the above equation, we get

E = 2.5 × 0.1 × 2.1

or

E = 0.525 V

Hence, the emf induced across the length of the metal shank will be 0.525 V

Lincoln weighs 400 newtons. What’s his mass rounded to the nearest kilogram? Assume that acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 N/kg

Yanka [14]

Weight equals mass times gravitational acceleration=400N, so mass=400/9.8=41kg approx.

A person driving a car suddenly applies the brakes. The car takes 4 s to come to rest while traveling 20 m at constant accelerat

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Yes we can find the initial velocity of car without finding acceleration.

u = 10 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that

s=20 m

Car takes 4 s to come in rest.

We know that when acceleration is constant then we can apply motion equation

$v=u+at$ ----------1

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$ ------2

From equation 1 and 2

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}t^2\left (\dfrac{v-u}{t} \right )$

So we can say that

$s= \left(\dfrac{v+u}{2}\right)t$

Given that the velocity of car at final condition will be zero (v=0)

$s= \left(\dfrac{0+u}{2}\right)t$

$s= \left(\dfrac{u}{2}\right)t$

From the above equation we can find the initial velocity of car without finding the acceleration

$20= \dfrac{u}{2}\times 4$

u = 10 m/s

Lizzie is pushing Alex on a scooter. Lizzie is pushing with 75 N of force to the left, and Alex is helping with 20 N to the left

nordsb [41]

Answer:

The net force on the scooter is 95 N to the left.

Explanation:

Lizzie is pushing with 75 N of force to the left, so the force is a vector with 75N of magnitude and to the left.

Alex is helping with 20 N to the left, so the force is a vector with 20 N magnitude and to the left.

When we add vectors, vectors that point in the same direction add up and vectors that point in opposite directions are subtracted.

Hence, the net force is equal to:

F=75 N + 20 N=95 N

As both forces point to the left, the net force is also to the left.

A heat engine accepts 200,000 Btu of heat from a source at 1500 R and rejects 100,000 Btu of heat to a sink at 600 R. Calculate

diamong [38]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy through the heat transferred and the work done, as well as through the calculation of entropy due to heat and temperatra.

By definition we know that the change in entropy is given by

$\Delta S = \frac{Q}{T}$

Where,

Q = Heat transfer

T = Temperature

On the other hand we know that by conserving energy the work done in a system is equal to the change in heat transferred, that is

$W = Q_{source}-Q_{sink}$

According to the data given we have to,

$Q_{source} = 200000Btu$

$T_{source} = 1500R$

$Q_{sink} = 100000Btu$

$T_{sink} = 600R$

PART A) The total change in entropy, would be given by the changes that exist in the source and sink, that is

$\Delta S_{sink} = \frac{Q_{sink}}{T_{sink}}$

$\Delta S_{sink} = \frac{100000}{600}$

$\Delta S_{sink} = 166.67Btu/R$

On the other hand,

$\Delta S_{source} = \frac{Q_{source}}{T_{source}}$

$\Delta S_{source} = \frac{-200000}{1500}$

$\Delta S_{source} = -133.33Btu/R$

The total change of entropy would be,

$S = \Delta S_{source}+\Delta S_{sink}$

$S = -133.33+166.67$

$S = 33.34Btu/R$

Since $S\neq 0$ the heat engine is not reversible.

PART B)

Work done by heat engine is given by

$W=Q_{source}-Q_{sink}$

$W = 200000-100000$

$W = 100000 Btu$

Therefore the work in the system is 100000Btu

A baggage handler throws a 15 kg suitcase along the floor of an airplane luggage compartment with a speed of 1.2 m/s. The suitca

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

0.0367

Explanation:

The loss in kinetic energy results into work done by friction.

Since kinetic energy is given by

KE=0.5mv^{2}

Work done by friction is given as

W= umgd

Where m is the mass of suitacase, v is velocity of the suitcase, g is acceleration due to gravity, d is perpendicular distance where force is applied and u is coefficient of kinetic friction.

Making u the subject of the formula then we deduce that

$u=\frac {v^{2}}{2gd}$

Substituting v with 1.2 m/s, d with 2m and taking g as 9.81 m/s2 then

$u=\frac {1.2^{2}}{2*9.81*2}=0.0366972477064\approx 0.0367$

Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction is approximately 0.0367
