A horizontal compass is placed 21 cm due south from a straight vertical wire carrying a 36 a current downward. in what direction

does the compass needle point at this location? assume the horizontal component of the earth's field at this point is 0.45 â 10-4 t and the magnetic declination is 0°.

 <span>
The needle of a compass will always lies along the magnetic field lines of the earth. 
A magnetic declination at a point on the earth’s surface equal to zero implies that 
the horizontal component of the earth’s magnetic field line at that specific point lies along 
the line of the north-south magnetic poles. </span>

The presence of a current-carrying wire creates an additional <span>
magnetic field that combines with the earth’s magnetic field. Since magnetic 
<span>fields are vector quantities, therefore the magnetic field of the earth and the magnetic field of the vertical wire must be combined vectorially. </span></span>

<span>
Where:</span>

B1 = magnetic field of the earth along the x-axis = 0.45 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T

B2 = magnetic field due to the straight vertical wire along the y-axis

We can calculate for B2 using Amperes Law:

B2 = μ₀ i / [ 2 π R ]

B2 = [ 4π × 10 ⁻ ⁷ T • m / A ] ( 36 A ) / [ 2 π (0.21 m ) ] <span>
B2 = 5.97 × 10 ⁻ ⁵ T = 0.60 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T </span>

The angle can be calculated using tan function:<span>
tan θ = y / x = B₂ / B₁ = 0.60 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T / 0.45 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T <span>
tan θ = 1.326</span></span>

θ = 53°

<span>
<span>The compass needle points along the direction of 53° west of north.</span></span>

light inside the thin glass tube of a laparoscopic surgical device strikes the edge of the glass tube and is entirely reflected
vovangra [49]

Light striking the walls of the glass cylinder and reflecting in inside tube itself is a phenomenon known as total internal reflection.

<h3>What word best describes reflection, in your opinion?</h3>

Reflection is often synonymous with the verbs cogitate, contemplate, reason, hypothesize, and think. All of these expressions mean "using one's intellect, judgment, or inference faculties," but the word "reflect" means carefully considering a recollection.

<h3>What does it mean to give reflection some thought?</h3>

constant verb When you ruminate, you seriously consider something. Alternatives include thinking, analyzing, planning, and thinking. More phrases containing "reflect" Reflecting feelings is the act of observing a person's verbal and nonverbal signs for their emotions and feelings, then immediately communicating (or reflecting) those attitudes to the user or customer.

Answer:

4. 7.59276

Explanation:

Add up the x components:

Aₓ + Bₓ + Cₓ = 5 − 1.6 + 2.4 = 5.8

Add up the y components:

Aᵧ + Bᵧ + Cᵧ = -2.4 + 3.3 + 4 = 4.9

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the magnitude:

√(x² + y²)

√(5.8² + 4.9²)

√57.65

7.59276

What is the speed of a bobsled whose distance-time graph indicates that it traveled 113m in 29s?
Elza [17]
In this item, we are asked to determine the speed of the bobsled given the distance traveled and the time it takes to cover the certain distance. This can mathematically be expressed as,
                          speed = distance / time

Substituting the given values in this item,
                         speed = (113 m) / (29 s)
                         speed = 3.90 m/s

<em>ANSWER: 3.90 m/s</em>

Which one of the following energy conversion devices has the lowest energy efficiency?
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

A) incandescent ligth bulb, its efficiency is about 10%

Explanation:

The incandescent bulb, that is, the well-known focus with its warm light, was one of the most useful inventions of the 19th century although its use is currently considered very inefficient. These lamps waste between 80 and 90 percent of the total electricity they consume by turning it into heat. The metal filament thus heated and which is the central part of the bulb, only converts the remaining energy into light. Its service life ranges from 750 to 1,000 hours.

This is why they are used in ovens for food preparation, because of the large amount of heat they generate.

The steam boiler in a power plant depends on the fuel that it is using, but a coal-fired power plant with modern technology its efficiency is about 40%

Electric motor are around 85-92%

In order to better understand the concept of efficiency it is as if we pay 100 dollars of gasoline for our weekly use, but of that 100 dollars the car only uses 10 dollars to do that activity the rest of the money the 90 dollars were lost because of the inefficiencies of the vehicle.
