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>
Answer:
They are the same
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves consist of perpendicular oscillations of electric and magnetic field, which oscillate perpendicularly to the direction of motion of the wave (transverse wave). One property of the electromagnetic waves is that they travel in a vacuum always at the same speed, called speed of light:
Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types according to their frequency; from highest to lowest frequency, we have:
Gamma rays
X-rays
Ultraviolet
Visible light
Infrared
Microwaves
Radio waves
We see that both visible light and gamma rays are electromagnetic waves, so they both travel in a vacuum at the same speed, the speed of light.
Answer:
28.3 m/s
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Angle of projection (θ) = 30°
Maximum height (H) = 10 m
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²
Initial velocity (u) =?
Thus, we can obtain the minimum velocity cannon ball by using the following formula:
H = u²Sine² θ / 2g
10 = u² × (Sine 30)² / 2× 10
10 = u² × (0.5)² / 20
10 = u² × 0.25 / 20
10 = u² × 0.0125
Divide both side by 0.0125
u² = 10/ 0.0125
u² = 800
Take the square root of both side
u = √800
u = 28.3 m/s
Therefore, the minimum speed of the cannon ball is 28.3 m/s
A wave can be described as the disturbance of particles in an area. Think about it this way: particles (matter) carry energy. For all the laws of physics to work, this energy must be "traded" somehow. This happens by miniscule vibrations in the particles, which are apparent disturbances. This creates a wave, and therefore a wave is, indeed, a disturbance.<span />
