Answer:

Scallops use jet propulsion to move from one place to another. Their shells make them denser than water, so they normally rest on the ocean floor. If a scallop wishes to remain stationary, hovering a fixed distance above the ocean floor, it must eject water <u>downwards</u> so that the thrust force on the scallop is <u>upwards</u>.

Explanation:

For every action, there is a reaction with the same magnitude but in the opposite way (third law of Newton), so when the scallop ejects water downwards, another force appears that pushes the scallop upwards.

Calculate the average velocity in m/y of a tectonic plate that has travelled 9000 km to the south in 60 million years
Gekata [30.6K]
<span>The distance covered by the tectonic plate, in meters, is

 The time taken for the tectonic plate to cover this distance is equal to
</span>t=60 mil.y=60 \cdot 10^6 y<span>
Therefore, the average velocity of the tectonic plate is the ratio between the distance covered and the time taken:

For a magnetic field strength of 2T, estimate the magnitude of the maximum force on a 1-mm-long segment of a single cylindrical
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Incomplete question

This is the complete question

For a magnetic field strength of 2 T, estimate the magnitude of the maximum force on a 1-mm-long segment of a single cylindrical nerve that has a diameter of 1.5 mm. Assume that the entire nerve carries a current due to an applied voltage of 100 mV (that of a typical action potential). The resistivity of the nerve is 0.6ohms meter

Explanation:

Given the magnetic field

B=2T

Lenght of rod is 1mm

L=1/1000=0.001m

Diameter of rod=1.5mm

d=1.5/1000=0.0015m

Radius is given as

r=d/2=0.0015/2

r=0.00075m

Area of the circle is πr²

A=π×0.00075²

A=1.77×10^-6m²

Given that the voltage applied is 100mV

V=0.1V

Given that resistive is 0.6 Ωm

We can calculate the resistance of the cylinder by using

R= ρl/A

R=0.6×0.001/1.77×10^-6

R=339.4Ω

Then the current can be calculated, using ohms law

V=iR

i=V/R

i=0.1/339.4

i=2.95×10^-4 A

i=29.5 mA

The force in a magnetic field of a wire is given as

B=μoI/2πR

Where

μo is a constant and its value is

μo=4π×10^-7 Tm/A

Then,

B=4π×10^-7×2.95×10^-4/(2π×0.00075)

B=8.43×10^-8 T

Then, the force is given as

F=iLB

Since B=2T

F=iL(2B)

F=2.95×10^-4×2×8.34×10^-8

F=4.97×10^-11N

A 250 GeV beam of protons is fired over a distance of 1 km. If the initial size of the wave packet is 1 mm, find its final size
Margarita [4]

Answer:

The final size is approximately equal to the initial size due to a very small relative increase of 1.055\times 10^{- 7} in its size

Solution:

As per the question:

The energy of the proton beam, E = 250 GeV =250\times 10^{9}\times 1.6\times 10^{- 19} = 4\times 10^{- 8} J

Distance covered by photon, d = 1 km = 1000 m

Mass of proton, m_{p} = 1.67\times 10^{- 27} kg

The initial size of the wave packet, \Delta t_{o} = 1 mm = 1\times 10^{- 3} m

Now,

This is relativistic in nature

The rest mass energy associated with the proton is given by:

E = m_{p}c^{2}

E = 1.67\times 10^{- 27}\times (3\times 10^{8})^{2} = 1.503\times 10^{- 10} J

This energy of proton is \simeq 250 GeV

Thus the speed of the proton, v\simeq c

Now, the time taken to cover 1 km = 1000 m of the distance:

T = \frac{1000}{v}

T = \frac{1000}{c} = \frac{1000}{3\times 10^{8}} = 3.34\times 10^{- 6} s

Now, in accordance to the dispersion factor;

\frac{\delta t_{o}}{\Delta t_{o}} = \frac{ht_{o}}{2\pi m_{p}\Delta t_{o}^{2}}

\frac{\delta t_{o}}{\Delta t_{o}} = \frac{6.626\times 10^{- 34}\times 3.34\times 10^{- 6}}{2\pi 1.67\times 10^{- 27}\times (10^{- 3})^{2} = 1.055\times 10^{- 7}

Thus the increase in wave packet's width is relatively quite small.

Hence, we can say that:

\Delta t_{o} = \Delta t

where

\Delta t = final width

When the Glen Canyon hydroelectric power plant in Arizona is running at capacity, 690 m3 of water flows through the dam each sec
bixtya [17]

Answer:

1340.2MW

Explanation:

Hi!

To solve this problem follow the steps below!

1 finds the maximum maximum power, using the hydraulic power equation which is the product of the flow rate by height by the specific weight of fluid

W=αhQ

α=specific weight for water =9.81KN/m^3

h=height=220m

Q=flow=690m^3/s

W=(690)(220)(9.81)=1489158Kw=1489.16MW

2. Taking into account that the generator has a 90% efficiency, Find the real power by multiplying the ideal power by the efficiency of the electric generator

Wr=(0.9)(1489.16MW)=1340.2MW

the maximum possible electric power output is 1340.2MW
