Suppose the dim-looking headlight on the right is actually a small light on the front of a bicycle. What can you conclude about

Answer:

Explanation:

The dimness of two light source, which have the same intensify depends on their distance from the observer. That is why some stars appear brighter than the others, this is due to the distance of each of them from the earth.

The closer a light source, the brighter they appear

Now, if the right lamp has a dim light actually, it shows that the bicycle is closer than it appears.

A single-turn current loop carrying a 4.00 A current, is in the shape of a right-angle triangle with sides of 50.0 cm, 120 cm, a
pantera1 [17]

Given that,

Current = 4 A

Sides of triangle = 50.0 cm, 120 cm and 130 cm

Magnetic field = 75.0 mT

Distance = 130 cm

We need to calculate the angle α

Using cosine law

120^2=130^2+50^2-2\times130\times50\cos\alpha

\cos\alpha=\dfrac{120^2-130^2-50^2}{2\times130\times50}

\alpha=\cos^{-1}(0.3846)

\alpha=67.38^{\circ}

We need to calculate the angle β

Using cosine law

50^2=130^2+120^2-2\times130\times120\cos\beta

\cos\beta=\dfrac{50^2-130^2-120^2}{2\times130\times120}

\beta=\cos^{-1}(0.923)

\beta=22.63^{\circ}

We need to calculate the force on 130 cm side

Using formula of force

F_{130}=ILB\sin\theta

F_{130}=4\times130\times10^{-2}\times75\times10^{-3}\sin0

F_{130}=0

We need to calculate the force on 120 cm side

Using formula of force

F_{120}=ILB\sin\beta

F_{120}=4\times120\times10^{-2}\times75\times10^{-3}\sin22.63

F_{120}=0.1385\ N

The direction of force is out of page.

We need to calculate the force on 50 cm side

Using formula of force

F_{50}=ILB\sin\alpha

F_{50}=4\times50\times10^{-2}\times75\times10^{-3}\sin67.38

F_{50}=0.1385\ N

The direction of force is into page.

Hence, The magnitude of the magnetic force on each of the three sides of the loop are 0 N, 0.1385 N and 0.1385 N.

Dmitry [639]
The resultant motion is given by pithagoras, since the two components (north and east) are perpendicular to each other.
They are asking you about the direction so you have to use trigonometry, finding that the direction is Ф=arctan(3.8/12)=17.57° north of east.

If gravity between the Sun and Earth suddenly vanished, Earth would continue moving in
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Earth would continue moving by uniform motion, with constant velocity, in a straight line

Explanation:

The question can be answered by using Newton's first law of motion, also known as law of inertia, which states that:

"an object keeps its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external net force different from zero"

This means that if there are no forces acting on an object, the object stays at rest (if it was not moving previously) or it continues moving with same velocity (if it was already moving) in a straight line.

In this problem, the Earth is initially moving around the Sun, with a certain tangential velocity v. When the Sun disappears, the force of gravity that was keeping the Earth in circular motion disappears too: therefore, there are no more forces acting on the Earth, and so by the 1st law of Newton, the Earth will continue moving with same velocity v in a straight line.

Microwave ovens emit microwave energy with a wavelength of 12.6 cm. what is the energy of exactly one photon of this microwave r
Helga [31]

We need the frequency of the photon, it is v = c/ λ

Where c is 3 x 10^8 ms^-1 and λ is the wave length

We also need the expression of connecting frequency to energy of photon 

which is E = hv where h is Planck’s constant

Combining the two equations will give us:

E = h x c/λ

Inserting the values, we will have:

E = 6.626 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8 / 0.126

E = 1.578 x 10^ -24 J

There are lots of examples of ideal gases in the universe, and they exist in many different conditions. In this problem we will
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

P = ρRT/M

Explanation:

Ideal gas equation is given as follows generally:

PV = nRT (1)

P = pressure in the containing vessel

V = volume of the containing vessel

n = number of moles

R = gas constant

T = temperature in K

n = m/M

m = mass of the gas contained in the vessel in g

M = molar mass in g/mol

ρ = m/V

Density of the gas = ρ

Substituting for n in (1)

PV = mRT/M. (2)

Dividing equation (2) through by V

P = m/V ×RT/M

P = ρRT/M
