The scale in N, reading if the elevator moves upward at a constant speed of 1.5 m/s^2 is 862.5 N.

weight of man = 75kg

speed of elevator, a = 1.5 m/ s^{2}

F - w = ma \\

F = w + ma

F = m ( a +g )

F = 75 ( 1.5 + 10 ) \\

F = 75 ( 11.5 )

F = 862.5 N

So, the scale reading in the elevator is greater than his 862.5 N weight. This indicates that the person is being propelled upward by the scale, which it must do in order to do so, with a force larger than his weight. According to what you experience in quickly accelerating or slowly moving elevators, it is obvious that the faster the elevator acceleration, the greater the scale reading.

Speed can be defines as the pace at which the position of an object changes in any direction.  Since speed simply has a direction and no magnitude, it is a scalar quantity.

A straight wire of length 0.62 m carries a conventional current of 0.7 amperes. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field made
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Magnetic field at point having a distance of 2 cm from wire is 6.99 x 10⁻⁶ T

Explanation:

Magnetic field due to finite straight wire at a point perpendicular to the wire is given by the relation :

B=\frac{\mu_{0}I }{2\pi R }\times\frac{L}{\sqrt{L^{2}+R^{2}  } }      ......(1)

Here I is current in the wire, L is the length of the wire, R is the distance of the point from the wire and μ₀ is vacuum permeability constant.

In this problem,

Current, I = 0.7 A

Length of wire, L = 0.62 m

Distance of point from wire, R = 2 cm = 2 x 10⁻² m = 0.02 m

Vacuum permeability, μ₀ = 4π x 10⁻⁷ H/m

Substitute these values in equation (1).

B=\frac{4\pi\times10^{-7}\times  0.7 }{2\pi \times0.02 }\times\frac{0.62}{\sqrt{(0.62)^{2}+(0.02) ^{2}  } }

B = 6.99 x 10⁻⁶ T

What magnitude charge creates a 1.0 n/c electric field at a point 1.0 m away?
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

1.1\cdot 10^{-10}C

Explanation:

The electric field produced by a single point charge is given by:

E=k\frac{q}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q is the charge

r is the distance from the charge

In this problem, we have

E = 1.0 N/C (magnitude of the electric field)

r = 1.0 m (distance from the charge)

Solving the equation for q, we find the charge:

q=\frac{Er^2}{k}=\frac{(1.0 N/c)(1.0 m)^2}{9\cdot 10^9 Nm^2c^{-2}}=1.1\cdot 10^{-10}C
