g semi-infinite wire segment that lies along the negative y axis and carries current of 548 Amperes in the positive y direction.

Answer:

The magnetic field at a point (4.5, 0, 0) from the wire lying in the negative y-axis, with current flowing in the positive y-direction is directed in the positive z-direction.

Explanation:

The Biot Savart Law explains that the magnetic field experienced as a result of a wire of a particular length at a point r, from the wire is given as

dB = (μ₀/4π) ∫ (ds × ř)/r²

where ds = direction vector for the flow of current

ř = unit vector in the direction of the point where the magnetic field is required.

r = magnitude of the direction vector from the wire, to the point where the magnetic field is required.

Basically, the magnetic field is an integral sum of the vector product of ds and the unit vector in the direction of the point r where the magnetic field is required at that point all multiplied with (μ₀/4πr²)

This question requires only the direction of this magnetic field. This would be obtained from just the vector product of ds and ř.

ds = positive y-direction = (0, ds, 0)

wire segment that lies along the negative y axis and point P is located at (4.5 cm, 0, 0)

r = (4.5, 0, 0) - (0, -y, 0) = (4.5, y, 0)

Since we're not concerned about the magnitude, we can write the unit vector as

ř = (x, y, 0)

Direction of B is obtained from

(0î + dsj + 0k) × (xî + yj + 0k)

=

| î j k |

|0 ds 0|

|x y 0|

= î(0 - 0) - j(0 - 0) + k(xds- 0)

= 0î + 0j + xdsk

This means that the magnetic field at a point (4.5, 0, 0) from the wire lying in the negative y-axis, with current flowing in the positive y-direction is directed in the positive z-direction.

Hope this Helps!!!

A 75-kg sprinter accelerates from rest to a speed of 11.0 m/s in 5.0 s. (a) calculate the mechanical work done by the sprinter d
mezya [45]

The mechanical work done by the sprinter during this time will be 4537.5 J , the average power the sprinter must generate will be 907.5 W and if the sprinter converts food energy to mechanical energy with an efficiency of 25% then he will be burning calories at 54.20 calories per second.

Work in physics is the energy that is transferred to or from an item when a force is applied along a displacement. It is frequently described in its most basic form as the result of force and displacement.

The quantity of energy moved or transformed per unit of time is known as power in physics. The watt, or one joule per second, is the unit of power in the International System of Units.. A scalar quantity is power.

Given 75-kg sprinter accelerates from rest to a speed of 11.0 m/s in 5.0 s.

So let,

m = 75 kg

v = 11.0 m/s

t = 5.0 s

So the mechanical work done by the sprinter during this time will be as follow:

W = 0.5 mv²

W = 0.5 (75)(11)²

W = 4537.5 J

The average power the sprinter must generate will be as follow:

Power(P) = W / t

P =  4537.5/5

P = 907.5 W

Only 25% is absorbed. So, the sprinter only absorbed 226.875 J per second which is equal to 54.20 calories per second.

Hence   mechanical work done by the sprinter during this time will be 4537.5 J , the average power the sprinter must generate will be 907.5 W and if the sprinter converts food energy to mechanical energy with an efficiency of 25% then he will be burning calories at 54.20 calories per second.
