Answer:

The direction of the resulting force on this current is due east.

Explanation:

Given;

direction of the magnetic field to be due north

Applying right hand rule which states that: to determine the direction of the magnetic force on a positive moving charge point the thumb of the right hand in the direction of velocity v, the fingers in the direction of magnetic field B, and a perpendicular to the palm points in the direction of magnetic force.

Since the magnetic force must be perpendicular to the magnetic field, and direction of the magnetic field is due north, then the magnetic force must be due East.

Therefore, the direction of the resulting force on this current is due east.

A physics student shoves a 0.50-kg block from the bottom of a frictionless 30.0° inclined plane. The student performs 4.0 j of w
Musya8 [376]

Answer:1.63 m

Explanation:

Given

mass of block m=0.5 kg

inclination \theta =30^{\circ}

Amount of work done W=4 J

block slides a distance s along the Plane

Work done =change in Potential Energy

Increase in height of block is s\sin \theta

Change in Potential Energy =mg(\sin \theta -0)

\Delta P.E.=0.5\times 9.8\times s\sin 30

4=0.5\times 9.8\times s\sin 30

s=\frac{4}{2.45}      

s=1.63 m

Which graph represents the motion of an object traveling with a positive velocity and a negative acceleration?
nignag [31]
Answer
graph 2

Explanation
Velocity is the rate of change of displacement. 
Velocity = (change in displacement)/(change is time)
In graph 2, the gradient of the curve is positive, indicating that the velocity is positive.
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. 
The steepness of the slope of the same graph (graph 2) is decreasing. This shows that the velocity is decreasing hence a negative acceleration.

Which is the least likely cause of an engine to hunt and surge at top no-load speeds? A lean air/fuel mixture An incorrect spark
77julia77 [94]
I would say that the answer to this is the last option: ALL OF THE ABOVE. A lean fuel or air mixture, incorrect spark plug heat range, and a blocked carburetor bowl vent would be among the reasons of an engine to surge and hunt at the top no-load speeds. Hope this answer helps.
