Answer:

 I = 0.44 A

Explanation:

The magnetic force on a conductor is given by the expression

       F = I L x B

Where bold letters indicate vectors, I is the current, L is the vector in the direction of the current, and B is the magnetic field

Since the force is maximum, the wire must be perpendicular to the magnetic field, therefore

        F = I L B sin 90

        I = F / L B

Let's calculate

        I = 1.2 / 1.5 1.8

        I = 0.44 A

Answer:

The current that must be passing through the wire is 0.444 A

Explanation:

Given data:

L = length of straight wire = 1.5 m

F = force = 1.2 N

B = magnetic field = 1.8 T

The force in a straight wire is equal to:

F=ILB\\I=\frac{F}{LB} =\frac{1.2}{1.5*1.8} =0.444A

17.Explain the different ways that an object can become electrically charged.
Debora [2.8K]

17.

There are three different methods for charging objects:

- Friction: in friction, two objects are rubbed against each other. As a result, electrons can be passed from one object to the other, so one object will gain a net negative charge while the other object will gain a net positive charge due to the lack of electrons.

- Conduction: this occurs when two conductive objects are put in contact with each other, and charges (electrons, usually) are transferred from one object to the other one.

- Induction: this occurs when two objects are brought closer to each other, but not in contact. If one of the two objects has a net charge (different from zero) on its surface, then it will induce a movement of charges in the second object: in particular, in the second object, charges of the opposite polarity will be attracted towards the first object, while charges of same polarity will be repelled further away.

18.

Charged objects produce around themselves an electric field. The strenght of the electric field is given by (assuming the charged objects are spherical)

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

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q is the magnitude of the charge and r the distance from the centre of the charge. As we see, the strength of the field is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

Also, the direction of the field is determined by the sign of the charge:

- if the charge is positive, the electric field points away from the charge (this means that other positive charges in the field will be repelled away)

- if the charge is negative, the electric field points towards the charge (this means that other positive charges in the field will be attracted towards it)

19.

Electrical force is given by:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the two charges, and r their separation.

Gravitational force is given by:

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects, and r their separation.

Similarities between the two forces:

- Both are inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects, r

- Both are non-contact forces (the two objects can experience the forces even if they are not in contact)

- Both forces have infinite range

Differencies between the two forces:

- The electric force can be either attractive or repulsive, while the gravitational force is attractive only

- The electric force is much stronger than the gravitational force, due to the much larger value of the Coulomb's constant k compared to the gravitational constant G

A 5 kg block is being pushed horizontally across a level surface at a constant velocity. What is the magnitude of the Normal for
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

50 N.

Explanation:

On top of a horizontal surface, the normal force acting on an object is equivalent to the force of gravity acting on the object. That is:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} F_N = F_g & = ma \\ & = mg\end{aligned}

The mass of the block is 5 kg and the given force due to gravity is 10 N/kg. Substitute and evaluate:

\displaystyle F_N = F_g = (5\text{ kg})(10 \text{ N/kg}) = 50 \text{ N}

In conclusion, the normal force acting on the block is 50 N.

Block B has mass 6.00 kg and sits at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface. Block A has mass 2.50 kg and sits at rest on to
zzz [600]

Answer:

Explanation:

Block A sits on block B and force is applied on block A . Block A will experience two forces 1) force P and 2 )  friction force in opposite direction of motion . Block B will experience one force that is force of friction in the direction of motion .

Let force on block A be P . friction force on it will be equal to kinetic friction, that is μ mg , where μ is coefficient of friction and m is mass of block A

friction force = .4 x 2.5 x 9.8

= 9.8 N

net force on block A = P - 9.8

acceleration = ( P - 9.8 ) / 2.5

force on block B = 9.8

acceleration = force / mass

= 9.8 / 6

for common acceleration

( P - 9.8 ) / 2.5  = 9.8 / 6

( P - 9.8 ) / 2.5 = 1.63333

P = 13.88 N .
