How would you describe the magnetic field produced by a current in a straight wire?

Physics

Rama09 [41]3 years ago

Answer:

The lines of force run circles around the wire.

Explanation:

The region around a magnetic material or a moving charge particle is called magnetic field. The direction of magnetic field line is given by right hand thumb rule.

The thumb denotes the direction of electric current, then the curled finger will show the direction of magnetic field.

For a straight wire, the direction of magnetic field lines are circular.

Hence, the correct option is (C).

The answer to this is C. The reason being is because if you were to use a compass then it would be making circular motions towards the middle of the wire.

Calculate the wavelength of a photon having 3.26 x 10^-19 joules of energy
bekas [8.4K]
The energy of a photon is given by:
E=hf
where h is the Planck constant and f is the photon frequency.
We know the energy of the photon, E=3.26 \cdot 10^{-19} J, so we can rearrange the equation to calculate the frequency of the photon:
f= \frac{E}{h}= \frac{3.26 \cdot 10^{-19}J}{6.6 \cdot 10^{-34}Js}=4.94 \cdot 10^{14}Hz

And now we can use the following relationship between frequency f, wavelength \lambda and speed of light c to find the wavelength of the photon:
\lambda= \frac{c}{f}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{4.94 \cdot 10^{14} Hz}=6.07\cdot 10^{-7} m=607 nm

Two Earth satellites, A and B, each of mass m, are to be launched into circular orbits about Earth's center. Satellite A is to o
Pachacha [2.7K]

(a) 0.448

The gravitational potential energy of a satellite in orbit is given by:

U=-\frac{GMm}{r}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

m is the satellite's mass

r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's centre, which is sum of the Earth's radius (R) and the altitude of the satellite (h):

r = R + h

We can therefore write the ratio between the potentially energy of satellite B to that of satellite A as

\frac{U_B}{U_A}=\frac{-\frac{GMm}{R+h_B}}{-\frac{GMm}{R+h_A}}=\frac{R+h_A}{R+h_B}

and so, substituting:

R=6370 km\\h_A = 5970 km\\h_B = 21200 km

We find

\frac{U_B}{U_A}=\frac{6370 km+5970 km}{6370 km+21200 km}=0.448

(b) 0.448

The kinetic energy of a satellite in orbit around the Earth is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}\frac{GMm}{r}

So, the ratio between the two kinetic energies is

\frac{K_B}{K_A}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}\frac{GMm}{R+h_B}}{\frac{1}{2}\frac{GMm}{R+h_A}}=\frac{R+h_A}{R+h_B}

Which is exactly identical to the ratio of the potential energies. Therefore, this ratio is also equal to 0.448.

(c) B

The total energy of a satellite is given by the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy:

E=U+K=-\frac{GMm}{R+h}+\frac{1}{2}\frac{GMm}{R+h}=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{GMm}{R+h}

For satellite A, we have

E_A=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{GMm}{R+h_A}=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg)(28.8 kg)}{6.37\cdot 10^6 m+5.97\cdot 10^6 m}=-4.65\cdot 10^8 J

For satellite B, we have

E_B=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{GMm}{R+h_B}=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg)(28.8 kg)}{6.37\cdot 10^6 m+21.2\cdot 10^6 m}=-2.08\cdot 10^8 J

So, satellite B has the greater total energy (since the energy is negative).

(d) -2.57\cdot 10^8 J

The difference between the energy of the two satellites is:

E_B-E_A=-2.08\cdot 10^8 J-(-4.65\cdot 10^8 J)=-2.57\cdot 10^8 J

The main difference between a chest and a bounce pass is what?
snow_lady [41]

Answer: The main difference between the three is the mode of transmission. The chest pass is straight through the air towards your teammate. While the bounce pass is directed toward the ground and then at your teammate. Finally, the overhead pass is projected high in the air to avoid defenders.

NikAS [45]

Answer:

Theta1 = 12° and theta2 = 168°

The solution procedure can be found in the attachment below.

Explanation:

The Range is the horizontal distance traveled by a projectile. This diatance is given mathematically by Vo cos(theta) t. Where t is the total time of flight of the projectile in air. It is the time taken for the projectile to go from starting point to finish point. This solution assumes the projectile finishes uts motion on the same horizontal level as the starting point and as a result the vertical displacement is zero (no change in height).

In the solution as can be found below, the expression to calculate the range for any launch angle theta was first derived and then the required angles calculated from the equation by substituting the values of the the given quantities.
