A straight 25.0-g wire that is 1.80 m long carries a current of 6/30 A. This wire is aligned horizontally along the west-east di

rection with the current going from west to east. You want to support the wire against gravity using the weakest possible uniform external magnetic field. (a) Which way should the magnetic field point?(b) What is the magnitude of the weakest possible magnetic field you could use?

Answer:

a) The magnetic field should point upwards(i.e the north)

b) The magnitude of the weakest possible magnetic field is 0.681 Tesla

Explanation:

a) Since the force of gravity is acting vertically downwards, for equilibrium to be maintained, the force due to the magnetic field should act upwards in the north direction. since F = I (LXB), and the aim is to obtain a maximum LXB using the weakest possible magnetic field, according to the right hand rule, the magnetic field must point in the morth direction (i.e upwards) to maintain a balance between gravity and force due to magnetic field.

b) mass, m = 25.0g = 25 * 10⁻³kg

Length, L = 1.8m

Current, I = 6/30 A

g = 9.8 m/s²

F = mg................(1)

F = ILB................(2)

Equating (1) and (2)

mg = ILB

B = mg/IL

B = (25 * 10⁻³*9.8)/(6/30  *  1.8)

B = 0.245/0.36

B = 0.681 Tesla

A 1.0 kg brick falls off a ledge of height 44m and lands on the ground at 3.0 s later.
Agata [3.3K]
vf^2 = 2ad
vf^2 = 2(9.81)(44m)
vf^2 = 863.28
vf = √863.28
vf = 29.4  - using equations of motion

ME = PE + KE
ME = mgh + 1/2mv^2
ME = (1)(9.81)(44) + 1/2(1)(3^2)
ME = 431.64 + 4.5
ME = 436.14 - using conservation of energy

hope this helps :)

The index of refraction for silicate flint glass is 1.66 for violet light that has a wavelength in air equal to 400 nm and 1.61
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

(a) Angle of incidence for violet is more than the angle of incidence for red

(b) 2.4°

Explanation:

refractive index for violet , v = 1.66

refractive index for red, nR = 1.61

wavelength for violet, λv = 400 nm

wavelength for red, λR = 700 nm

Angle of refraction, r = 30°

(a) Let iv be the angle of incidence for violet.

Use Snell,s law

nv = Sin iv / Sin r

1.66 = Sin iv / Sin 30

Sin iv = 0.83

iv = 56°

Use Snell's law for red

nR  = Sin iR / Sin r  

where, iR be the angle of incidence for red

1.61 = Sin iR / Sin 30

Sin iR = 0.805

iR = 53.6°

So, the angle of incidence for violet is more than red.

(b) iv - iR = 56° - 53.6° = 2.4°

A student bikes to school by traveling first dN = 1.00 miles north, then dW = 0.600 miles west, and finally dS = 0.200 miles sou
kompoz [17]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Define unit vectors along the x and y axes as respectively \hat{i} \, and \, \hat{j}.

Then the three successive displacements, written in component form, are respectively
\vec{dN} = 1.0 \, \hat{j} \\
\vec{dW} = -0.6 \, \hat{i} \\  \vec{dS} = -0.2 \, \hat{j}

The total displacement for the first leg of the trip is
\vec{d} = \vec{dN} + \vec{dW} + \vec{dS} \\ \vec{d}= 1.0\hat{j}-0.6\hat{i}-0.2\hat{j} \\ \vec{d}=-0.6\hat{i}+0.8\hat{j}

Answer:
\vec{d} = -0.6\hat{i}+0.8\hat{j}   or  (-0.6, 0.8)

You stand on a bathroom scale in a moving elevator. what happens to the scale reading if the cable holding the elevator suddenly
Viefleur [7K]

A bathroom scales works due to gravity. Under normal conditions, a reading can be obtained when your body is pushing some force on the scale. However in this case, since you and the scale are both moving downwards, so your body is no longer pushing on the scale. Therefore the answer is:

<span>The reading will drop to 0 instantly</span>
