Answer:
clockwise
Explanation:
According to the law given by Lenz, known as the Lenz law, it is said that a current induced in the circuit which is due to the change in the magnetic field and is so directed so as to oppose the change in the flux and to apply a force in the opposite direction if the force.
Here, as the magnetic field is directed out of the screen, the current flows in the direction which is clockwise in the loop and it opposes the increasing magnetic field.
The clockwise induced current will produce magnetic field in to the screen.

a 2 kg block is attached to a horizontal ideal spring with a spring constant 200N/m. when the
The space shuttle releases a satellite into a circular orbit 630 km above the Earth.
How fast must the shuttle be moving (relative to Earth's center) when the release occurs?
Answer:
7,539 m/s
Explanation:
Let's use this equation to find the gravitational acceleration of this space shuttle:
[tex]\displaystyle g=\frac{GM}{r^2}[/tex]We know that G is the gravitational constant: 6.67 * 10^(-11) Nm²/kg².
M is the mass of the planet, which is Earth in this case: 5.972 * 10^24 kg.
r is the distance from the center of Earth to the space shuttle: radius of Earth (6.3781 * 10^6 m) + distance above the Earth (630 km → 630,000 m).
Plug these values into the equation:
[tex]\displaystyle g=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^-^1^1 \ Nm^2kg^-^2)(5.972\cdot 10^2^4 \ kg)}{[(6.3781\cdot 10^6 \ m)+(630000 \ m)]^2}[/tex]Remove units to make the equation easier to read.
[tex]\displaystyle g=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^-^1^1 )(5.972\cdot 10^2^4 )}{[(6.3781\cdot 10^6)+(630000 )]^2}[/tex]Multiply the numerator out.
[tex]\displaystyle g=\frac{(3.983324\cdot 10^1^4)}{[(6.3781\cdot 10^6)+(630000 )]^2}[/tex]Add the terms in the denominator.
[tex]\displaystyle g=\frac{(3.983324\cdot 10^1^4)}{[(7008100)]^2}[/tex]Simplify this equation.
[tex]\displaystyle g=8.11045189 \ \frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]The acceleration due to gravity g = 8.11045189 m/s². Now we use the equation for acceleration for an object in circular motion which contains v and r.
[tex]\displaystyle a = \frac{v^2}{r}[/tex]a = g, v is the velocity that the space shuttle should be moving (what we are trying to solve for), and r is the radius we had in the previous equation when solving for g.
Plug these values into the equation and solve for v.
[tex]\displaystyle 8.11045189 \ \frac{m}{s^2} = \frac{v^2}{7008100 \ m}[/tex]Remove units to make the equation easier to read.
[tex]\displaystyle 8.11045189 = \frac{v^2}{7008100}[/tex]Multiply both sides by 7,008,100.
[tex]56838857.89=v^2[/tex]Take the square root of both sides.
[tex]v=7539.154985[/tex]The shuttle should be moving at a velocity of about 7,539 m/s when it is released into the circular orbit above Earth.

compression
In the Fresnel circular aperture setup, the distances from the aperture to the light source and the reception screen are 1.5 m and 0.6 m, respectively. The wavelength is 630 nm. Suppose that the radius of the aperture can be increased from 0.5 mm, determine: (a) The first two radii when the center intensity at the reception screen is maximum. (b) The first two radii when the center intensity is minimum.
Explanation:
The width of the central maximum is given by
W = 2 λ L / a
where W is the width of the central maximum
λ is the wavelength of the light used.
L is the distance between the aperture and screen
a is the width of the slit or aperture
So we can see that if any one quantity is varied by keeping others constant in the above formula , there would be a change in width of central maximum.

A 0.60-kg mass at the end of a spring vibrates 3.0 times per second with and amplitude of 0.13m. Determine
(a) The velocity when it passes the equilibrium point,
(b) The velocity when it is 0.10 m from equilibrium
(c) The total energy of the system, and
(d) The equation describing the motion of the mass, assuming the x was a maximum at t = 0.
Answer:
a) The velocity when it passes the equilibrium point is [tex]\pm 2.451[/tex] meters per second.
b) The velocity when it is 0.10 meters from equilibrium is [tex]\pm 1.567[/tex] meters per second.
c) The total energy of the system is 1.802 joules.
d) The equation describing the motion of the mass, assuming that initial position is a maximum is [tex]x(t) = 0.13\cdot \sin (18.850\cdot t +0.5\pi)[/tex].
Explanation:
a) If all non-conservative forces can be neglected and spring has no mass, then the mass-spring system exhibits a simple harmonic motion (SHM). The kinematic formula for the position of the system ([tex]x(t)[/tex]), measured in meters, is:
[tex]x(t) = A\cdot \sin(\omega \cdot t +\phi)[/tex] (1)
Where:
[tex]A[/tex] - Amplitude, measured in meters.
[tex]\omega[/tex] - Angular frequency, measured in radians per second.
[tex]t[/tex] - Time, measured in seconds.
[tex]\phi[/tex] - Phase, measured in radians.
The kinematic equation for the velocity formula of the system ([tex]v(t)[/tex]), measured in meters per second, is derived from (1) by deriving it in time:
[tex]v(t) = \omega\cdot A\cdot \cos (\omega\cdot t+\phi)[/tex] (2)
The velocity when it passes the equilibrium point occurs when the cosine function is equal to 1 or -1. Then, that velocity is determined by following formula:
[tex]v = \pm \omega\cdot A[/tex] (3)
The angular frequency is calculated by this expression:
[tex]\omega = 2\pi\cdot f[/tex] (4)
Where [tex]f[/tex] is the frequency, measured in hertz.
If we know that [tex]f = 3\,hz[/tex] and [tex]A = 0.13\,m[/tex], then the velocity when it passes the equilibrium point, which is the maximum and minimum velocities of the mass:
[tex]\omega = 2\pi\cdot (3\,hz)[/tex]
[tex]\omega \approx 18.850\,\frac{rad}{s}[/tex]
[tex]v = \pm \left(18.850\,\frac{rad}{s} \right)\cdot (0.13\,m)[/tex]
[tex]v = \pm 2.451\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
The velocity when it passes the equilibrium point is [tex]\pm 2.451[/tex] meters per second.
b) First, we need to determine the spring constant of the system ([tex]k[/tex]), measured in newtons per meter, in terms of the angular frequency ([tex]\omega[/tex]), measured in radians per second, and mass ([tex]m[/tex]), measured in kilograms. That is:
[tex]k = \omega^{2}\cdot m[/tex] (5)
If we know that [tex]\omega \approx 18.850\,\frac{rad}{s}[/tex] and [tex]m = 0.60\,kg[/tex], then the spring constant is:
[tex]k = \left(18.850\,\frac{rad}{s} \right)^{2}\cdot (0.60\,kg)[/tex]
[tex]k = 213.194\,\frac{N}{m}[/tex]
Lastly, we determine the velocity when the mass is 0.10 meters from equilibrium by the Principle of Energy Conservation:
[tex]U_{k} + K = K_{max}[/tex] (6)
[tex]\frac{1}{2}\cdot k\cdot x^{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v_{max}^{2}[/tex] (7)
Where:
[tex]U_{k}[/tex] - Current elastic potential energy, measured in joules.
[tex]K[/tex] - Current translational kinetic energy, measured in joules.
[tex]K_{max}[/tex] - Maximum translational kinetic energy, measured in joules.
[tex]v[/tex] - Current velocity of the system, measured in meters per second.
[tex]m[/tex] - Mass, measured in kilograms.
[tex]v_{max}[/tex] - Maximum velocity of the system, measured in meters per second.
If we know that [tex]k = 213.194\,\frac{N}{m}[/tex], [tex]x = 0.10\,m[/tex], [tex]m = 0.60\,kg[/tex] and [tex]v_{max} = \pm 2.451\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], then the velocity of the mass-spring system is:
[tex]\frac{k}{m} \cdot x^{2} + v^{2} = v_{max}^{2}[/tex]
[tex]v^{2} = v_{max}^{2}-\frac{k}{m}\cdot x^{2}[/tex]
[tex]v = \sqrt{v_{max}^{2}-\frac{k\cdot x^{2}}{m} }[/tex] (8)
[tex]v = \sqrt{\left(\pm 2.451\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\frac{\left(213.194\,\frac{N}{m} \right)\cdot (0.10\,m)^{2}}{0.60\,kg} }[/tex]
[tex]v \approx \pm 1.567\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
The velocity when it is 0.10 meters from equilibrium is [tex]\pm 1.567[/tex] meters per second.
c) The total energy of the system ([tex]E[/tex]), measured in joules, can be determined by the following expression derived from the Principle of Energy Conservation:
[tex]E = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v_{max}^{2}[/tex] (9)
If we know that [tex]m = 0.60\,kg[/tex] and [tex]v_{max} = \pm 2.451\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], then the total energy of the system is:
[tex]E = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (0.60\,kg)\cdot \left(\pm 2.451\,\frac{m}{s}\right)^{2}[/tex]
[tex]E = 1.802\,J[/tex]
The total energy of the system is 1.802 joules.
d) Given that initial position of the mass-spring system is a maximum, then we conclude that the equation of motion has the following parameters: ([tex]A = 0.13\,m[/tex], [tex]\omega \approx 18.850\,\frac{rad}{s}[/tex] and [tex]\phi = 0.5\pi\,rad[/tex])
From (1) we obtain the resulting formula:
[tex]x(t) = 0.13\cdot \sin (18.850\cdot t +0.5\pi)[/tex] (10)
The equation describing the motion of the mass, assuming that initial position is a maximum is [tex]x(t) = 0.13\cdot \sin (18.850\cdot t +0.5\pi)[/tex].
An object whose specific gravity is 0.850 is placed in water. What fraction of the object is below the surface of the water?
Answer:
The fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀
Explanation:
Given;
specific gravity of the object, γ = 0.850
Specific gravity is given as;
[tex]specific \ gravity = \frac{density \ of the \ object}{density \ of \ water}\\\\0.85= \frac{density \ of the \ object}{1000 \ kg/m^3} \\\\density \ of the \ object = 850 \ kg/m^3[/tex]
Fraction of the object's weight below the surface of water is calculated as;
[tex]= \frac{850}{1000} \ \times\ 100\%\\\\= 85 \% \\\\= \frac{17}{20}[/tex]
Therefore, the fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀

Based on its location on the periodic table, which metal is likely to be less reactive than both strontium and sodium?
magnesium (Mg)
barium (Ba)
cesium (Cs)
rubidium (Rb)
Answer:
Magnesium is the correct answer
Explanation:
It is magnesium because as we move down the periodic table group, atomic sizes increase which is as a result of lesser forces of attraction between nucleus and valence of an atom which makes the atom to be prone to leave as electrons so easily, elements become more reactive.
But as we move along the period , atomic sizes decrease because there is a more force of attraction between nucleus of an atom and it valence electrons making it less reactive just as the case in magnesium. Other elements are more reactive than it across the group.
Answer:
Magnesium
Explanation: Correct on edge!

Research what is known about Earth’s magnetic field. Begin by looking for images and credible sites on the Internet or refer to some books in a library. Answer the following questions:
What is the approximate size of Earth’s magnetic field?
Where are Earth’s magnetic poles?
Where is the magnet that causes Earth’s magnetic field located? What is this magnet made of?
Does Earth’s magnetic field move?
The earth has a magnetic field. It is much like a bar magnet. Imagine a gigantic bar magnet inside the Earth. But there is no giant magnet inside it.
To have a pretty good idea what earth's magnetic field is shaped like we imagine a bar magnet inside the earth.
The magnetic field is made by the motion of molten iron in earth's outer core. The swirling motion of molten iron changes all the time. Therefore, the magnetic fields will also get change. Then, the magnet poles also move.
The North pole and the south pole are two geographic poles of earth. These poles are the places on the earth's surface that earth's imaginary spin axis passes through.
There are two magnetic poles of the earth: North magnetic pole and South magnetic pole.
Earth's magnetic field is tilted a little bit. If we imagine that earth's magnetic field is made by a giant bar magnet. Then, the bar magnet would make an with earth's spin axis.
The geographic poles and the magnetic poles are not in the same place.
If we are standing at one magnetic poles then the magnetic field lines would be straight up and down.
Earth's magnetic field is a complex and dynamic phenomenon that is generated by the motion of molten iron in its outer core. The magnetic field extends far beyond the planet and is responsible for protecting Earth from harmful solar radiation and cosmic rays.
What is the approximate size of Earth's magnetic field?Earth's magnetic field is roughly dipolar in shape, meaning it has two main magnetic poles - north and south - and the field lines emerge from the north and re-enter at the south pole. The magnetic field has a strength of about 25-65 microteslas (μT) at the Earth's surface, and it extends for several tens of thousands of kilometers into space.
2. Where are Earth's magnetic poles?
Earth's magnetic poles are not fixed and are constantly moving due to the complex and dynamic nature of the planet's magnetic field. Currently, the north magnetic pole is located in the Arctic Ocean, close to Canada's Ellesmere Island, and the south magnetic pole is located in the Antarctic Ocean, near the coast of Antarctica.
3. Where is the magnet that causes Earth's magnetic field located? What is this magnet made of?
The magnet that causes Earth's magnetic field is not a physical magnet but rather a result of the motion of molten iron in the Earth's outer core. The outer core is a layer of liquid iron and nickel that surrounds the solid inner core. The motion of this molten iron generates electrical currents, which in turn create a magnetic field.
4. Does Earth's magnetic field move?
Yes, Earth's magnetic field is not static and is constantly changing due to the complex nature of the planet's interior. The magnetic poles are constantly moving and the strength of the magnetic field can vary over time. The magnetic field can also be influenced by external factors such as solar storms and changes in the solar wind. Scientists continue to study Earth's magnetic field to better understand its behavior and how it affects the planet.
Therefore, The magnetic field of the Earth is a complex and dynamic phenomenon caused by the movement of molten iron in its outer core. The magnetic field extends far beyond the planet and is in charge of shielding the planet from harmful solar radiation and cosmic rays.

A 300 g bird flying along at 6.0 m/s sees a 10 g insect heading straight toward it with a speed of 30 m/s. the bird opens its mouth wide and enjoys a nice lunch. What is the bird's speed immediately after swallowing?
Answer:
6.77m/s
Explanation:
Using the law of conservation of momentum
m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v
m1 and m2 are the masses of the object
u1 and u2 are the velocities before collision
v is the final collision
Given
m1 = 300g = 0.3kg
u1 = 6.0m/s
m2 = 10g = 0.01kg
u2 = 30m/s
Required
The bird's speed immediately after swallowing v
Substitute the given values into the formula
m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v
0.3(6) + 0.01(30) = (0.3+0.01)v
1.8+0.3 = 0.31v
2.1 = 0.31v
v = 2.1/0.31
v = 6.77m/s
Hence the bird's speed immediately after swallowing is 6.77m/s

Answer:
The minimum coefficient of static friction required, µ = 0.10
Note. The question is incomplete. The complete question is given below:
While hauling a log in the back of a flatbed truck, a driver is pulled over by the state police. Although the log cannot roll sideways, the police claim that the log could have slid out the back of the truck when accelerating from rest. The driver claims that the truck could not possibly accelerate at the level needed to achieve such an effect. Regardless, the police write a ticket anyway and now the driver court date is approaching.
The log has a mass of m = 929 kg; the truck has a mass of M = 8850 kg. According to the truck manufacturer, the truck can accelerate from 0 to 55 mph in 23.0 seconds, but this does not account for the additional mass of the log. Calculate the minimum coefficient of static friction μs needed to keep the log in the back of the truck.
Explanation:
First, velocity in mph is converted to m/s
1 mph = 0.447 m/s
55 mph ≈ 24.6 m/s
The acceleration of the empty truck is a = v/t = 24.6 / 23 = 1.07 m/s²
Force that can be generated by the truck, F = ma
F = 8850kg * 1.07 m/s² = 9469.5 N
However, with the added mass of the log on it, the acceleration of the truck will become;
a = F / m = 9469.5 N / (8550+929)kg = 0.97 m/s²
Frictional force between the log and the truck = 0.97 m/s² * 929 kg = 901.13 N
Normal reaction on the truck due to the weight of the log, R = mg
R = 929 kg * 9.8m/s² = 9104.2 N
Coefficient of static friction, µ = F/R
µ = 901.13/9104.2
µ = 0.098 ≈ 0.10
Therefore, the minimum static friction required is µ = 0.10
