Answer:

The thumb of the right hand must point in the direction of the current.

Explanation:

The right hand rule is used to find the direction of magnetic field around a current-carrying wire. In this rule, it is consider to hold a current carrying wire in your right hand such that the thumb shows the direction of current. The curled finger gives the direction of magnetic field.

For example, if the current points in northward direction, then the direction of magnetic field is in anticlockwise direction.

Answer:

Thumb

Explanation:

The direction of the magnetic field can be determined by using the right-hand rule. According to this rule, hold a current carrying wire in your right hand such that the thumb of the right-hand point in the direction of electric current. The curled finger gives the direction of the magnetic field.

Hence, the thumb shows the electric current.

How far will a runner travel if she had an average speed of 10 km/hour and runs for 2.1 hours?
Rasek [7]
10 Km.
S= Speed
D= distance 
T= time

S= d/t
but since you are solving for "d" the equation is d=st so you plug in 10 km/h for speed and 2.1 hours for time and just multiply them. The hours cancel out so you are left with 10km.

Ultraviolet light from a distant star is traveling at 3.0 × 108 m/s. how long will it take for the light to reach earth if it mu
castortr0y [4]

Given speed and the distance that must be covered, the time it will take the ultraviolet light to reach the earth is 3.7 × 10⁴ hours.

<h3>What is Speed?</h3>

Speed is simply referred to as distance traveled per unit time.

Mathematically, Speed = Distance ÷ time.

Given the data in the question;

  • Speed of the Ultraviolet light c = 3.0 × 10⁸m/s = 1.08 × 10⁹km/h
  • Distance it must cover d = 4.0 × 10¹³km
  • Time elapsed t = ?

We substitute our given values into the expression above.

Speed = Distance ÷ time

1.08 × 10⁹km/h = 4.0 × 10¹³km ÷ t

t = 4.0 × 10¹³km ÷ 1.08 × 10⁹km/h

t = 3.7 × 10⁴ hrs

Therefore, given speed and the distance that must be covered, the time it will take the ultraviolet light to reach the earth is 3.7 × 10⁴ hours.

The charges Q1=Q and Q2=4Q that are a distance d apart, repel each other with a force of 1.60 N. What would be the force between
gladu [14]

Answer:

50.4 N

Explanation:

Q1 = Q

Q2 = 4 Q

Distance = d

The force is given by

F = \frac{KQ_{1}Q_{2}}{d^{2}}

1.60 = \frac{4KQ^{2}}{d^{2}}    .... (1)

Now,

Q3 = 2 Q

Q4 = 7 Q

distance = d/3

F' = \frac{9KQ_{3}Q_{4}}{d^{2}}

F' = \frac{126KQ^{2}}{d^{2}}   .... (2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1), we get

F' / 1.60 = 126 / 4

F' = 50.4 N

Thus, the force is 50.4 N.
