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 risk-free, zero-coupon bond with a $5000 face value has ten years to maturity. The bond currently trades at $3650. What is the
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The Yield to Maturity of the bond is YTM = 3.20%

Explanation:

Mathematically the Yield to Maturity of the bond  YTM is as follows

           YTM = \frac{C + \frac{F-P}{n} }{\frac{F+P}{2} }

Where C is the amount of payment to be made = $0

           P is the price i.e the present value =$3650

           F is the face value of the bond=$5000

          n is the year of maturity of the bond = 10 years

            YTM = \frac{0+\frac{5000-3650}{10} }{\frac{5000+3650}{2} } * \frac{100}{1}

                      =3.20%

A man walks along a straight path at a speed of 4 ft/s. A searchlight is located on the ground 6 ft from the path and is kept fo
BARSIC [14]

We are given that,

\frac{dx}{dt} = 4ft/s

We need to find \frac{d\theta}{dt} when x=8ft

The equation that relates x and \theta can be written as,

\frac{x}{6} tan\theta

x = 6tan\theta

Differentiating each side with respect to t, we get,

\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{dx}{d\theta} \cdot \frac{d\theta}{dt}

\frac{dx}{dt} = (6sec^2\theta)\cdot \frac{d\theta}{dt}

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{6sec^2\theta} \cdot \frac{dx}{dt}

Replacing the value of the velocity

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{6} cos^2\theta (4)^2

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{8}{3} cos^2\theta

The value of cos \theta could be found if we know the length of the beam. With this value the equation can be approximated to the relationship between the sides of the triangle that is being formed in order to obtain the numerical value. If this relation is known for the value of x = 6ft, the mathematical relation is obtained. I will add a numerical example (although the answer would end in the previous point) If the length of the beam was 10, then we would have to

cos\theta = \frac{6}{10}

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{8}{3} (\frac{6}{10})^2

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{24}{25}

Search light is rotating at a rate of 0.96rad/s

How are acceleration and speed related​
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Usually, acceleration means the speed is changing, but not always. When an object moves in a circular path at a constant speed, it is still accelerating, because the direction of its velocity is changing. Comment on robshowsides's post “Speed is the magnitude of velocity.

What is the most likely place for a star to begin to form?
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Stars are born within the clouds of dust and scattered throughout most galaxies. Deep within these clouds, turbulence creates knots with enough mass to cause the gas and dust to collapse under its own gravitational force.
