Answer:

The three best answers are:

Electric fields can be positive or negative (depending on source)

Electric fields can attrace or repel objets (assuming the object is charged)

Electric forces are strongest near the charged object E ∝ 1 / R^2

In a single wire, how much current would be required to generate 1 Tesla magnetic field at a 2 meter distance away from the wire

aev [14]

Answer:

12.56 A.

Explanation:

The magnetic field of a conductor carrying current is give as

H = I/2πr ............................... Equation 1

Where H = Magnetic Field, I = current, r = distance, and π = pie

Making I the subject of the equation,

I = 2πrH............... Equation 2

Given: H = 1 T, r = 2 m.

Constant: π = 3.14

Substitute into equation 2

I = 2×3.14×2×1

I = 12.56 A.

Hence, the magnetic field = 12.56 A.

Compare the energy consumption of two commonly used items in the household. Calculate the energy used by a 1.40 kW toaster oven,

andrew-mc [135]

Energy = (power) x (time)

-- For the toaster:

Power = 1.4 kW = 1,400 watts

Time = 5.4 minutes = 324 seconds

Energy = (1,400 W) x (324 s) = 453,600 Joules

-- For the CFL bulb:

Power = 11 watts

Time = 10.5 hours = 37,800 seconds

Energy = (11 W) x (37,800 s) = 415,800 Joules

-- The toaster uses energy at 127 times the rate of the CFL bulb.

-- The CFL bulb uses energy at 0.0079 times the rate of the toaster.

-- The toaster is used for 0.0086 times as long as the CFL bulb.

-- The CFL bulb is used for 116.7 times as long as the toaster.

-- The toaster uses 9.1% more energy than the CFL bulb.

-- The CFL bulb uses 8.3% less energy than the toaster.

Water enters a typical garden hose of diameter 0.016 m with a velocity of 3 m/s. Calculate the exit velocity of water from the g

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

v₂ = 306.12 m/s

Explanation:

We know that the volume flow rate of the water or any in-compressible liquid remains constant throughout motion. Therefore, from continuity equation, we know that:

A₁v₁ = A₂v₂

where,

A₁ = Area of entrance pipe = πd₁²/4 = π(0.016 m)²/4 = 0.0002 m²

v₁ = entrance velocity = 3 m/s

A₂ = Area of nozzle = πd₂²/4 = π(0.005 m)²/4 = 0.0000196 m²

v₂ = exit velocity = ?

Therefore,

(0.0002 m²)(3 m/s) = (0.0000196 m²)v₂

v₂ = (0.006 m³/s)/(0.0000196 m²)

v₂ = 306.12 m/s

When a very cold air mass covers half of the united states, a very warm air mass often covers the other half. explain how this h

Rudiy27

Maritime tropical air masses develop over warm waters present in the tropics and Gulf of Mexico, where heat and moisture are carried to to the overlying air from the water below.

 Tropical air masses having northward movement carry warm moist air into the United States, thus increasing the potential for condensation. Generally the southern states experience tropical air masses. But, in winter season, southerly winds ahead of migrating cyclones sometimes transport tropical air mass towards north.

The counterclockwise winds related to northern hemisphere mid latitude cyclones play an important role in the movement air masses, carrying warm moist air towards north ahead of a low while dragging colder and drier air towards south.
