Answer:

0.6 A

Explanation:

length, l  = 1.5 m

Maximum force, F = 1.6 N

Magnetic field, B = 1.8 T

Let the current is i.

the force on a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field is given by

F = B x i x l x sinθ

Where, θ be the angle between the magnetic field and the length element.

for maximum force, θ = 90°

So,

1.6 = 1.8 x i x 1.5 x 1

i = 0.6 A

Thus, the current in the conductor is 0.6 A.

lord [1]

Answer:

k = 49 N/m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 250 g = 0.25 kg

When the mass is attached to the end of the spring, it elongates 5 cm or 0.05 m. We need to find the spring constant. Let it is k.

The force due to mass is balanced by its weight as follows :

mg=kx

k=\dfrac{mg}{x}\\\\k=\dfrac{0.25\times 9.8}{0.05}\\\\k=49\ N/m

So, the spring constant of the spring is 49 N/m.

If the archerfish spits its water 30 degrees from the horizontal aiming at an insect 1.2 m above the surface of the water, how f
Burka [1]

Answer:

The speed is  v =  9.8 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question w are told that

    The angle  made is \theta  =  30^o

     The distance  above the surface of the water is  h_{max} = 1.2 \ m

     The  value of  g = 10 \  m/s^2

   

The maximum height attained by the fish is mathematically evaluate as

       h_{max} =  \frac{v^2 sin ^2 \theta }{2g }

Making v which is the speed of the fish the subject of the formula

      v =  \sqrt{ \frac{2gh_{max}}{ sin^2 \theta } }

  substituting values

     v =  \sqrt{ \frac{2*10 *1.2 }{ [sin (30)]^2  } }

     v =  9.8 \ m/s

A light wave encounters a partial physical barrier, such as a wall with a hole in it. What is MOST LIKELY to occur?
tatiyna
Most likely, the light wave will be absorbed by the wall. Without any information as to the size and color of the wall, the location and size of the hole, or the location of the light wave, this is a generalized probability problem. For all of the places the light could be, it's more likely that it hits the wall than the hole (if the hole is less than 50% of the area of the wall).

What is the source of Earth’s magnetic field?
zhuklara [117]

Answer and Explanation:

The main source of earth magnetic field is the metals and iron present in earth crust these metals are mainly found in liquid state in earth crust and we know that whenever there is spinning of these liquid metals then there will magnetic field generate, So the main source of earth magnetic field is the metals present in earth crust.
