In 1996, NASA performed an experiment called the Tethered Satellite experiment. In this experiment a 2.30 104-m length of wire was let out by the space shuttle Atlantis to generate a motional emf. The shuttle had an orbital speed of 7.50 103 m/s, and the magnitude of the earth's magnetic field at the location of the wire was 5.40 10-5 T. If the wire had moved perpendicular to the earth's magnetic field, what would have been the motional emf generated between the ends of the wire?

Explanation:

When a conductor moves in the magnetic field , the emf is generated across its ends . Which can be calculated by the relation

emf  ξ = B x l x v

here B is the magnetic field strength , l is the length of conductor and v is its velocity .

In our question B = 5.4 x 10⁻⁵ T

l = 2.30 x 10⁴ m  and v = 7.5 x 10³

Thus  ξ = 5.4 x 10⁻⁵ x 2.30 x 10⁴ x 7.5 x 10³ = 9.3 x 10³ Volt

explanation:

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
