This is an example of the phi phenomenon. This is an optical illusion that occurs when a series of still images, in this case the flashing lights, are viewed in quick succession. This given the illusion of a continuous movement rather than discrete still images.

Explain the importance of measurement<br>Physics.<br><br>​
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Measurements are an important part of comparing things, as they provide the basis on comparing objects to other objects. Measurements allow us to recognize three hours and see how it's shorter than five hours, without having to observe the hours passing by themselves.

A book has been lifted 1.5 meters into the air giving it 30J of potential energy. How much force was used to lift it
joja [24]

Answer:

Force on the object is 20 N

Explanation:

As we know that work done to raise the book from initial position to final position is known as potential energy stored in it

So here we know that

U = F.s

here we know that

U = 30 J

s = displacement = 1.5 m

so we have

30 = F(1.5)

F = 20 N

A circular loop ( radius = 0.5 m) carries a current of 3.0 A and has unit normal vector of (2i - j +2k)/3 what is x component of
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

T=9.42Nm

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Radius r= 0.5 m

Current I= 3.0 A

Normal vector n=\frac{(2i - j +2k)}{3}

Magnetic field B= (2i-6j) T

Generally the equation for Area is mathematically given by

 A=\pi r^2

 A=3.1415 *0.5^2

 A=0.7853 m^2

Generally the equation for Torque is mathematically given by

 T=A(i'*B)

Where

 i'*B= \begin{bmatrix}2&-1&2\\2&-6&0\end{bmatrix}

 X\ component\ of\ i'*B= [(-1 * 0)-(2*-6)]

 X\ component\ of\ i'*B=12

Therefore

 T=0.7853*12

 T=9.42Nm
