Answer:

a) 0 m/s

b) - 24 m/s

c)  - 68 m

Explanation:

Given:

Initial distance = - 4 m

Initial velocity, u = 4 m/s

1) acceleration, a = - 2 m/s² for time, t = 2 seconds

thus,

velocity after 2 seconds will be

from Newton's equation of motion

v = u + at

v = 4 + (-2) × 2

v = 0 m/s

2) Velocity after 2 second is the initial velocity for this case

given acceleration = - 6 m/s² for 4 seconds

thus,

final velocity, v = 0 + ( - 6 ) × 4 = - 24 m/s

here the negative sign depicts the velocity in opposite direction to the initial direction of motion

thus, velocity after 6 seconds = - 24 m/s

3) Now,

Total displacement in 6 seconds

= Displacement in 2 seconds + Displacement in 4 seconds

From Newton's equation of motion

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where,  

s is the distance

u is the initial speed  

a is the acceleration

t is the time

thus,

= 0\times2+\frac{1}{2}\times(-2)\times2^2  + 0\times4+\frac{1}{2}\times-6\times4^2

= - 16 - 48

= - 64 m

Hence, the final displacement = - 64 - 4 = - 68 m

What would happen to the moon if there was no sun and earth ?
iragen [17]

Answer:

High tides would be much smaller than they are now, and low tides would be even lower. This is because the sun would be influencing the tides, not the moon; however, the sun has a weaker pull, which would decrease the tides. ... Winds could become much faster and much stronger without the moon.

What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at a point midway between them if the top one carries a current of 19.5 A and the bo
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

The magnetic field will be \large{\dfrac{1.4 \times 10^{-4}}{d}} T, '2d' being the distance the wires.

Explanation:

From Biot-Savart's law, the magnetic field (\large{\overrightarrow{B}}) at a distance 'r' due to a current carrying conductor carrying current 'I' is given by

\large{\overrightarrow{B} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{4 \pi}} \int \dfrac{\overrightarrow{dl} \times \hat{r}}{r^{2}}}

where '\overrightarrow{dl}' is an elemental length along the direction of the current flow through the conductor.

Using this law, the magnetic field due to straight current carrying conductor having current 'I', at a distance 'd' is given by

\large{\overrightarrow{B}} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{2 \pi d}

According to the figure if 'I_{t}' be the current carried by the top wire, 'I_{b}' be the current carried by the bottom wire and '2d' be the distance between them, then the direction of the magnetic field at 'P', which is midway between them, will be perpendicular towards the plane of the screen, shown by the \bigotimes symbol and that due to the bottom wire at 'P' will be perpendicular away from the plane of the screen, shown by \bigodot symbol.

Given \large{I_{t} = 19.5 A} and \large{I_{B} = 12.5 A}

Therefore, the magnetic field (\large{B_{t}}) at 'P' due to the top wire

B_{t} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I_{t}}{2 \pi d}

and the magnetic field (\large{B_{b}}) at 'P' due to the bottom wire

B_{b} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I_{b}}{2 \pi d}

Therefore taking the value of \mu_{0} = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} the net magnetic field (\large{B_{M}}) at the midway between the wires will be

\large{B_{M} = \dfrac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7}}{2 \pi d} (I_{t} - I_{b}) = \dfrac{2 \times 10^{-7}}{d} = \dfrac{41.4 \times 10 ^{-4}}{d}} T
