Answer:

The wave is traveling in the +x direction.

Explanation:

The equation of a wave is given by the formula as :

$y(x,t)=A\ sin(kx-\omega t)$

Here,

A is the amplitude of wave

$(kx-\omega t)$ is the phase of wave

$\omega$ is the angular frequency of the wave

We need to find the correct statement out of given options. The given equation can be rewritten as :

$y(x,t)=A\ sin(\omega t-kx)$

Here, the propagation constant is negative. So, the wave is moving in +x direction. Hence, the correct option is (a).

A straight wire of length 0.56 m carries a conventional current of 0.4 amperes. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field made

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic field made by current in the wire is 3.064 x 10⁻⁶ T.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the straight wire, L = 0.56 m

conventional current, I = 0.4 A

distance of magnetic field from the wire, r = 2.6 cm = 0.026 m

To determine magnitude of magnetic field made by current in the wire, we will apply Bio-Savart Law;

$B = \frac{\mu_o}{4\pi r} \frac{LI}{\sqrt{r^2 +(L/2)^2} } \\\\B = \frac{4\pi *10^{-7}}{4\pi *0.026} \frac{0.56*0.4}{\sqrt{(0.026)^2 +(0.56/2)^2} }\\\\B = 3.846*10^{-6}(0.7966)\\\\B = 3.064*10^{-6} \ T$

Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic field made by current in the wire is 3.064 x 10⁻⁶ T.

A neurogenic bladder is a urinary problem caused by interference with the normal __________ associated with urination.

Elena L [17]

Answer:

nerve pathways

Explanation:

It is called Neurogenic Bladder (VN) to any alteration of bladder behavior due to a pathology of the central and / or peripheral nervous system. It may consist of the loss of storage and / or urine disposal capabilities. Thus, a lesion in the upper centers causes variation in storage capacity, but if peripheral innervation is affected, loss of emptying capacity occurs. In the case of patients with spinal cord injury (ML) there are changes in both at the same time.

The closeness of measured values to an accepted value is the BLANK of the data ?

wlad13 [49]

When you refer to how close a measured value is to a standard, accepted or known value, you are talking about the ACCURACY of the data. This is the definition of accuracy when it comes to engineering and other fields of science.

Accuracy is usually associated or with the term precision, as their definitions are often interchanged.

A car generates 2,552 N and weighs 2,250 pounds. what is the rate of acceleration

Lilit [14]

Ans: a = 2.50 m/s^2

Explanation:
First convert the mass in its standard unit i.e. kilogram(kg):
2250 lbs = 1020.583kg

Next use Newton's Second law:
F = ma

Where F = 2552N
m = 1020.583kg

=> a = (2552/1020.583)
a = 2.50 m/s^2
