A long, straight wire of radius R carries a steady current I that is uniformly distributed through the cross section of the wire
vitfil [10]

Answer:

a

  When r \ge R

      B =  \frac{ \mu_o *  I}{ 2 \pi r }

b

 When r< R

   B =  [\frac{\mu_o *  I }{ 2 \pi R^2} ]* r

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  radius is  R  

   The  current is  I

    The  distance from the center

Ampere's law is mathematically represented as

       B[2 \pi r]  =  \mu_o  *  \frac{I r^2  }{R^2 }

      B =  \frac{ \mu_o}{2 \pi }  *  \frac{r}{R^2}

When r \ge R

=>     B =  \frac{ \mu_o *  I}{ 2 \pi r }

But when r< R

   B =  [\frac{\mu_o *  I }{ 2 \pi R^2} ]* r

A warehouse worker is pushing a 90.0-kg crate with a horizontal force of 282 N at a speed of v = 0.850 m/s across the warehouse
Elanso [62]

Answer:

v_{f} = 0.51 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law at the crate :

∑F = m*a (Formula 1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Data:

m=90kg :  crate mass

F= 282 N

μk =0.351 :coefficient of kinetic friction

g = 9.8 m/s² : acceleration due to gravity

Crate weight  (W)

W= m*g

W= 90kg*9.8 m/s²

W= 882 N

Friction force : Ff

Ff= μk*N Formula (2)   

μk: coefficient of kinetic friction

N : Normal force (N)  

Problem development

We apply the formula (1)

∑Fy = m*ay    , ay=0

N-W = 0

N = W

N = 882 N

We replace the  data in the formula (2)

Ff= μk*N  = 0.351* 882 N

Ff=  309.58 N

We apply the formula (1) in x direction:

∑Fx = m*ax    , ax=0

282 N - 309.58 N = 90*a  

a=  (282 N - 309.58 N ) / (90)

a= - 0.306 m/s²

Kinematics of the crate

Because the crate moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formula :

vf²=v₀²+2*a*d Formula (3)

Where:  

d:displacement in meters (m)  

v₀: initial speed in m/s  

vf: final speed in m/s  

a: acceleration in m/s²

Data

v₀ = 0.850 m/s

d = 0.75 m

a= - 0.306 m/s²

We replace the  data in the formula (3)

vf²=(0.850)²+(2)( - 0.306 )(0.75 )

v_{f} = \sqrt{(0.850)^{2} +(2)( - 0.306 )(0.75 )}

v_{f} = 0.51 \frac{m}{s}

Andrew is riding his bike is riding in a circle that has a radius of 10 m. He keeps
Dmitrij [34]

The acceleration that Andrew experience  during his ride is 3.6m/s²

The formula for calculating centripetal acceleration is expressed as:

a = v²/r

v is the speed

r is the radius

Given the following expression

v = 6m/s

r = 10m

Substitute the given parameters into the formula

a = 6²/10

a = 36/10

a = 3.6m/s²

Hence the acceleration that Andrew experience  during his ride is 3.6m/s²
