Why do rocks on the ocean floor form a patter of magnetized strpes?

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The striped magnetic pattern develops because, as the oceanic crust pulls apart, magma rises to the surface at mid-ocean ridges and spills out to create new bands of the ocean floor.

A coil with an inductance of 2.3 H and a resistance of 14 Ω is suddenly connected to an ideal battery with ε = 100 V. At 0.13 s

klemol [59]

Given Information:

Resistance = R = 14 Ω

Inductance = L = 2.3 H

voltage = V = 100 V

time = t = 0.13 s

Required Information:

(a) energy is being stored in the magnetic field

(b) thermal energy is appearing in the resistance

(c) energy is being delivered by the battery?

Answer:

(a) energy is being stored in the magnetic field ≈ 219 watts

(b) thermal energy is appearing in the resistance ≈ 267 watts

(c) energy is being delivered by the battery ≈ 481 watts

Explanation:

The energy stored in the inductor is given by

$U = \frac{1}{2} Li^{2}$

The rate at which the energy is being stored in the inductor is given by

$\frac{dU}{dt} = Li\frac{di}{dt} \: \: \: \: eq. 1$

The current through the RL circuit is given by

$i = \frac{V}{R} (1-e^{-\frac{t}{ \tau} })$

Where τ is the the time constant and is given by

$\tau = \frac{L}{R}\\ \tau = \frac{2.3}{14}\\ \tau = 0.16$

$i = \frac{110}{14} (1-e^{-\frac{t}{ 0.16} })\\i = 7.86(1-e^{-6.25t})\\\frac{di}{dt} = 49.125e^{-6.25t}$

Therefore, eq. 1 becomes

$\frac{dU}{dt} = (2.3)(7.86(1-e^{-6.25t}))(49.125e^{-6.25t})$

At t = 0.13 seconds

$\frac{dU}{dt} = (2.3) (4.37) (21.8)\\\frac{dU}{dt} = 219.11 \: watts$

(b) thermal energy is appearing in the resistance

The thermal energy is given by

$P = i^{2}R\\P = (7.86(1-e^{-6.25t}))^{2} \cdot 14\\P = (4.37)^{2}\cdot 14\\P = 267.35 \: watts$

(c) energy is being delivered by the battery?

The energy delivered by battery is

$P = Vi\\P = 110\cdot 4.37\\P = 481 \: watts$

A cruise ship is moving at constant speed through the water. The vacationers on the ship are eager to arrive at their next desti

MArishka [77]

Answer: 1. higher than it was before they started running

Explanation: As the vacationers run towards the back(stern) of the ship the exerting more pressure against the pressure exerted by the wave supporting the moving ship,the pressure exerted on the moving ship will be increased, leading to a slight increase in the speed of the ship compared to the speed before they started running towards the back(stern) of the ship.

A typical ceiling fan running at high speed has an airflow of about 2.00 ✕ 103 ft3/min, meaning that about 2.00 ✕ 103 cubic feet

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

0.94 m³/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Air flow (in ft³/min) = 2×10³ ft³/min

Air flow (in m³/s) =.?

Next, we shall convert 2×10³ ft³/min to m³/min. This can be obtained as follow:

35.315 ft³/min = 1 m³/min

Therefore,

2×10³ ft³/min = 2×10³ ft³/min × 1 m³/min / 35.315 ft³/min

2×10³ ft³/min = 56.63 m³/min

Finally, we shall convert 56.63 m³/min to m³/s. This can be obtained as follow:

1 m³/min = 1/60 m³/s

Therefore,

56.63 m³/min = 56.63 m³/min × 1/60 m³/s ÷ 1 m³/min

56.63 m³/min = 0.94 m³/s

Thus, 2×10³ ft³/minis equivalent to 0.94 m³/s.
