Answer:

Canyon is 50.176 meter deep.

Explanation:

The students is standing on the rim of the canyon and drops down a rock from the rim(cliff). We have to find what is the depth of the canyon i.e. how much below is the ground from the cliff.

Given data:

Time = t = 3.2 s

Initial velocity = v_{i} = 0 m/s

Gravitational acceleration = g = 9.8 m/s²

Height = h = ?

According to second equation of motion

h = v_{i}t + \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

As initial velocity is zero, So the first term of right hand side of above equation equal to zero

h = \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

h = (0.5)(9.8)(3.2)²

h = 50.176 m

This means, the rock traveled 50.176 meters to reach the bottom of the Canyon. So, the Canyon is 50.176 meter deep.

A segment of wire of total length 2.0 m is formed into a circular loop having 5.0 turns. If the wire carries a 1.2-A current, de
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Magnetic field at the center of the loop B=5.89\times 10^{-5}\ T.

Explanation:

It is given that total length of wire is 2 m and number of circular loop is 5 turns.

Therefore ,

5\times ( 2\pi r)=2 \ m .\\\\r=\dfrac{1}{5 \pi}=0.064\ m.

We know , magnetic field at the center of loop is given by :

B=N\dfrac{\mu_o i}{2r}

Putting all values in above equation we get :

B=5\times \dfrac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 1.2}{2\times 0.064}\\\\B=5.89\times 10^{-5}\ T.

Hence , this is the required solution.

A 52 N sled is pulled across a cement sidewalk at constant speed. A horizontal force of 36 N is exerted. What is the coefficient
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

μ = 0.692

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must make a free body diagram and include the respective forces acting on the body. Similarly, deduce the respective equations according to the conditions of the problem and the directions of the forces.

Attached is an image with the respective forces:

A summation of forces on the Y-axis is performed equal to zero, in order to determine the normal force N. this summation is equal to zero since there is no movement on the Y-axis.

Since the body moves at a constant speed, there is no acceleration so the sum of forces on the X-axis must be equal to zero.

The frictional force is defined as the product of the coefficient of friction by the normal force. In this way, we can calculate the coefficient of friction.

The process of solving this problem can be seen in the attached image.

Suggest reasons why poaching for subsistence is likely to be less damaging to the biodiversity of an area than poaching for prof
dlinn [17]
An example for ruining a biodiversity is fishing. The two factors that have contributed to increased fishing in deep ocean waters in recent years are the human population growth and decreased fishing opportunities inshore. Increase population growth increases the demand for food which also leads to increase in fish demand. Because the fish demand is high, inshore fishing opportunities decrease that is why deep ocean waters is the new venue for fishing. This may sound absurd but poaching for subsistence is likely to be less damaging to he biodiversity <span>of an area than poaching for profit. Because the people do not care anymore to the biodiversity that they interrupted just to get back more profit. They do not care what must be taken from it like getting bigger fishes and leaving the smaller ones behind to maintain productivity.</span>

A closely wound rectangular coil of 80 turns has dimensions 25.0 \rm cm by 40.0 \rm cm. The plane of the coil is rotated from a
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

88.3

Explanation:

Emf in a rotating coil is given by rate of change of flux:

E= dФ/dt=(NABcos∅)/ dt

N: number of turns in the coil= 80

A: area of the coil= 0.25×0.40= 0.1

B: magnetic field strength= 1.1

Ф: angle of rotation= 90- 37= 53

dt= 0.06s

E= (80 × 0.4× 0.25×1.10 × cos53)/0.06= 88.3V

Calculate the mass of air in a room of floor dimensions =10M×12M and height 4m(Density of air =1.26kg/m cubic​
Alinara [238K]

The volume of the room is the product of its dimensions:

10\times 12 \times 4 = 480\text{ m}^3

Now, from the equation

d=\dfrac{m}{V}

where d is the density, m is the mass and V is the volume, we deduce

m=dV

So, multiply the density and the volume to get the mass of air in the room.
