A thin copper rod 1.0 m long has a mass of 0.050 kg and is in a magnetic field of 0.10 t. What minimum current in the rod is nee

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

$i = 4.9 A$

Explanation:

Force on a current carrying rod due to magnetic field is given as

$F = iLB$

here we know that

$i =$ current in the rod

$B = 0.10 T$

$L = 1.0 m$

now magnetic force is balanced by the weight of the rod

so we will have

$iLB = mg$

$i(1.0)(0.10) = 0.05 \times 9.8$

$i = 4.9 A$

Excellent human jumpers can leap straight up to a height of

Firlakuza [10]

For a human jumper to reach a height of 110 cm, the person will need to leave the ground at a speed of 4.65 m/s.

We can calculate the initial speed to reach 110 cm of height with the following equation:

$v_{f}^{2} = v_{i}^{2} - 2gh$
