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.

A policeman starts giving chase 60 seconds after a stolen car zooms by at 108 km/hr. At what minimum speed should he drive if he

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

30.93 m/s

Explanation:

Given that, the speed of stolen car is,

$v_{s} =108km/hr\\v_{s} =108\times \frac{5}{18}m/s\\ v_{s} =30m/s$

As policeman start chasing the stolen car after 60 seconds.

Now suppose the speed of policeman car is, $v_{p}$

The policeman catches the stolen car at a distance of,

$S=60km\\S=60000m$

Now the distance covered by the policeman in time t is $v_{p}\times t$

And the distane cover by the thief in stolen car in time(t+60s) is $v_{s}\times (t+60sec)$ .

And these distances are equal and they are equal to 60000 m.

Therefore,

$v_{p}\times t=v_{s}\times (t+60sec)=60000m$

Therfore,

$v_{s}\times (t+60sec)=60000m\\30m/s\times (t+60sec)=60000m\\(t+60s)=2000s\\t=1940s$

Now use this value to solve for minimum speed of policeman's car.

$v_{p}\times 1940=60000\\v_{p}=30.93 m/s$

Therefore minimum speed of policeman's car is 30.93 m/s.

It takes 399 newtons to move a 7.2 kg object. What is the acceleration of the object?

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

a = 55.42m/s²

Explanation:

F = m*a

F = force(Newtons)

m = mass

a = acceleration

a = F/m

a = 399N/7.2kg

a = 55.42m/s²

Experiment: Group 1 drinks 500 mL of coffee a day.

slega [8]

Answer:

How does the drink content affect an individual's blood pressure?

Explanation:

In every experiment using the scientific method, an observation lays the foundation of that experiment. A problem must be observed, which then leads to asking a SCIENTIFIC QUESTION in order to investigate. A scientific question must include the variable being changed called INDEPENDENT VARIABLE and the variable being measured called DEPENDENT VARIABLE.

In this experimental procedure or set up,

- Group 1 drinks 500 mL of coffee a day.

- Group 2 drink 500 mL of tea a day,

- Group 3 is a control group i.e no drink

At the end of 60 days all participants

blood pressure is tested.

This set up indicates that the variable being changed (independent) is the DRINK CONTENT while the variable being measured (dependent) is the BLOOD PRESSURE. Hence, these variables serve as the template to ask a scientific question which goes thus:

HOW DOES THE DRINK CONTENT AFFECT AN INDIVIDUAL'S BLOOD PRESSURE?

This scientific question relates how the independent variable (drink) causes the dependent variable to respond (blood pressure).

a concave lens creates a virtual image at -47.0 cm and a magnification of +1.75. what is the focal length?

Lilit [14]

The focal length of given concave lens will be -26.85 cm

The height of an image to the height of an object is the ratio that is used to determine a lens' magnification. Additionally, it is provided in terms of object and image distance. It is equivalent to the object distance to image distance ratio.

Given concave lens creates a virtual image at -47.0 cm and a magnification of +1.75.

We have to find focal length

The focal length can be found out by following way:

Magnification = m = +1.75

m = hi/h

hi = -47 cm

1.75 = -47/h

h = -26.85 cm

So the focal length of given concave lens will be -26.85 cm
