The magnetic force on a current-carrying wire is given by:

F = iL×B

F = magnetic force, i = current, L = wire length vector, B = magnetic field

Note we are taking the cross product of the iL and B vectors, not the product of two scalars.

A) Given values:

i = 12A

L = AB = (2, 1, 1)m - (1, 1, 1)m = <1, 0, 0>

B = <-2, 3, 4>10⁻³T

Plug in and solve for F:

F = 12<1, 0, 0>×10⁻³<-2, 3, 4> = 10⁻³(<12, 0, 0>×<-2, 3, 4>)

Beware, we'll use array notation to show the cross product calculation:

F = 10⁻³ $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\12&0&0\\-2&3&4\end{array}\right]$

F = 10⁻³<(0)(4)-(0)(3), (0)(-2)-(12)(4), (12)(3)-(0)(-2)>

F = 10⁻³<0, -48, 36>N

B) Given values:

i = 12A

L = AB = (3, 5, 6)m - (1, 1, 1)m = <2, 4, 5>

B = <-2, 3, 4>10⁻³T

Plug in and solve for F:

F = 12<2, 4, 5>×10⁻³<-2, 3, 4> = 10⁻³(<24, 48, 60>×<-2, 3, 4>)

F = 10⁻³ $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\24&48&60\\-2&3&4\end{array}\right]$

F = 10⁻³<(48)(4)-(60)(3), (60)(-2)-(24)(4), (24)(3)-(48)(-2)>

F = 10⁻³<12, -216, 168>N

An 4-kg ball experiences a force and accelerates at a rate of 1.5 m/s.

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

6.0 N

Explanation:

The strength of a force is expressed as the magnitude of the force in Newton.

The formula to apply here is :

Force= mass * acceleration

F=ma

Mass, m = 4 kg

Acceleration = 1.5 m/s²

Force= 4 *1.5 = 6.0 N

Explain how force and surface area affect the applied pressure.

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

force and surface area are two factors affecting pressure on solids

more the force you apply, more will be the pressure

pressure and force are directly proportional meaning if Force is greater, pressure will also be greater

more the surface area of the solid less will be the pressure

surface area and pressure are inversely proportional meaning if surface are is big, pressure will be less, surface area small, pressure will be greater

A spring of constant 20 N/m has compressed a distance 8 m by a(n) 0.3 kg mass, then released. It skids over a frictional surface

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

$X_2=25.27m$

Explanation:

Here we will call:

1. $E_1$ : The energy when the first spring is compress

2. $E_2$ : The energy after the mass is liberated by the spring

3. $E_3$ : The energy before the second string catch the mass

4. $E_4$ : The energy when the second sping compressed

so, the law of the conservations of energy says that:

1. $E_1 = E_2$

2. $E_2 -E_3= W_f$

3. $E_3 = E_4$

where $W_f$ is the work of the friction.

1. equation 1 is equal to:

$\frac{1}{2}Kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}MV_2^2$

where K is the constant of the spring, x is the distance compressed, M is the mass and $V_2$ the velocity, so:

$\frac{1}{2}(20)(8)^2 = \frac{1}{2}(0.3)V_2^2$

Solving for velocity, we get:

$V_2$ = 65.319 m/s

2. Now, equation 2 is equal to:

$\frac{1}{2}MV_2^2-\frac{1}{2}MV_3^2 = U_kNd$

where M is the mass, $V_2$ the velocity in the situation 2, $V_3$ is the velocity in the situation 3, $U_k$ is the coefficient of the friction, N the normal force and d the distance, so:

$\frac{1}{2}(0.3)(65.319)^2-\frac{1}{2}(0.3)V_3^2 = (0.16)(0.3*9.8)(2)$

Volving for $V_3$ , we get:

$V_3 = 65.27 m/s$

3. Finally, equation 3 is equal to:

$\frac{1}{2}MV_3^2 = \frac{1}{2}K_2X_2^2$

where $K_2$ is the constant of the second spring and $X_2$ is the compress of the second spring, so:

$\frac{1}{2}(0.3)(65.27)^2 = \frac{1}{2}(2)X_2^2$

solving for $X_2$ , we get:

$X_2=25.27m$

Whenever two apollo astronauts were on the surface of the moon, a third astronaut orbited the moon. assume the orbit to be circu

almond37 [142]

Missing question:
"Determine (a) the astronaut’s orbital speed v and (b) the period of the orbit"

Solution

part a) The center of the orbit of the third astronaut is located at the center of the moon. This means that the radius of the orbit is the sum of the Moon's radius r0 and the altitude ( $h=430 km=4.3 \cdot 10^5 m$ ) of the orbit:
$r= r_0 + h=1.7 \cdot 10^6 m + 4.3 \cdot 10^5 m=2.13 \cdot 10^6 m$
This is a circular motion, where the centripetal acceleration is equal to the gravitational acceleration g at this altitude. The problem says that at this altitude, $g=1.08 m/s^2$ . So we can write
$g=a_c= \frac{v^2}{r}$
where $a_c$ is the centripetal acceleration and v is the speed of the astronaut. Re-arranging it we can find v:
$v= \sqrt{g r}= \sqrt{(1.08 m/s^2)(2.13 \cdot 10^6 m)}=1517 m/s = 1.52 km/s$

part b) The orbit has a circumference of $2 \pi r$ , and the astronaut is covering it at a speed equal to v. Therefore, the period of the orbit is
$T= \frac{2 \pi r}{v} = \frac{2\pi (2.13 \cdot 10^6 m)}{1517 m/s} =8818 s = 2.45 h$
So, the period of the orbit is 2.45 hours.
