Answer:

The direction of the force will be towards the east

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The direction of the downward

Generally according to Fleming's right-hand rule(

Thumb - direction of force

Middle finger - direction of current

Index finger - direction of the magnetic field

) and the fact that the earth magnetic field acts from south to north with respect to the four cardinal points then the direction of the force will be toward the east with respect to the four cardinal point on the earth

A 5 meter long ladder leans against a wall. The bottom of the ladder slides away from the wall at the constant rate of 1 3 m/s.

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:9.75 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Length of ladder $(L)=5 m$

Foot the ladder is moving away with speed of $\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=13 m/s$

From diagram

$x^2+y^2=L^2$ ------1

at $x=3$

$y^2=25-9=16$

$y=4 m$

Now differentiating equation 1 w.r.t time

$2x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}+2y\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=0$

$x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=-y\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$3\times 13=-4\times \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=-\frac{3\times 13}{4}=-9.75 m/s$

negative indicates distance is decreasing with time

Veronica claims that she can throw a dart at a dartboard from a distance of 2 m and hit the 5 cm wide bullseye if she throws the

wariber [46]

First, find the amount of time for the dart to hit the board using this equation: t = d/v

t = 2 m/ 15 m/s = 0.133 s

Then, find the height the dart has fallen from its initial point using this equation: h = 0.5gt²

h = 0.5(9.81 m/s²)(0.133 s)² = 0.0872 m or 8.72 cm

Since the diameter of the bull's eye is only 5 cm, and you started at the same level of the top of the bull's eye, that means the maximum allowance would only be 5 cm. Since it exceeded to 8.72 cm, it means that <em>Veronica will not hit the bull's eye.</em>
