To solve this problem, we use the Law of Universal Gravitation:

F = Gm1m2/d^2

where m1 and m2 are two objects. In this case, earth and man. d is the distance between the objects. Lastly, G is the gravitational constant. Since the mass of the earth and man are constant, this is lumped up with G into k. The equation would be:

F = k/d^2
k = Fd^2
F_{1} d_{1} ^{2} =F_{2} d_{2} ^{2}

The radius of earth, d1, is equal to 6.371E+6 m. Thus, d2 = 2d1

(8E+2)(d1)^2 = F2(2d1)^2

(8E+2)(d1)^2 = 4F2(d1)^2

(8E+2)=4F2
F2 = 200 Newtons

A 2cm length of wire centered on the origin carries a 20A current directed in the positive y direction. Determine the magnetic f
skad [1K]

Answer:

The magnetic field at a distance x = 5 m is 1.59 nT

Explanation:

Length of the wire, L = 2 cm = 0.02 m

Current, I = 20 A

x = 5 m

Magnetic field at a distance x = 5 m due to an infinitely long wire is given by:

B = \frac{\mu_{o}IL}{4\pi x\sqrt{x^{2} + L^{2}}}

B = \frac{4\pi\times 10^{- 7}\times 20\times 0.02}{4\pi \times 5\sqrt{5^{2} + 0.02^{2}}} = 1.59\times 10^{- 9}\ T

Producing a current by moving a wire through a magnetic field is called “BLANK” induction
NeX [460]
Producing a current by moving a wire through a magnetic field is called ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION.
Electromagnetic induction refers to the production of an electromotive force across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field. The process was discovered by Micheal Faraday in 1831.

When a carpet is beaten with a stick dust comes out of it ...why
Mandarinka [93]

This can be explain through Newton’s first law of motion where an object at rest remain in rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Hence, the dust particles having inertia and trapped within the pores of the carpet has the tendency to remain at the state of rest, it does not move and resist motion but when the carpet is beaten with a stick, dust comes out because the force from a stick acted upon it.
