A. Direction

Speed is just distance divided by time, but velocity is displacement divided by time and displacement has direction. Speed will always be positive, but velocity can be either positive or negative.

alisha [4.7K]

The variable that changes is the period of the motion.

<h3>What is simple harmonic motion?</h3>

The term simple harmonic motion refers to a regular repeating motion. The acceleration of the SHM is always directed towards the center. The spring is an example of a system undergoing simple harmonic motion.

From the description in the question, the variable that changes is the period of the motion.

A straight 1.20 m long conductor has a 2.00 A current travelling toward the East. Earth's magnetic field in this location is 4.9
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Force's magnitude=1.176\,10^{-4}\,N

Direction: down (towards the center of the Earth)

Explanation:

Recall that the magnetic force on a conductor of length L carrying a current I in a magnetic field B is given by the equation: F=I\,L\,B in the case the magnetic field B and the direction of the current are at 90 degrees from each other (which is our case). The direction of the force will be given by the "right hand rule" associated with the vector product that defines this force.

Since the current is moving East, and the magnetic field of the Earth goes from North to South, the resultant Force vector will be pointing towards the Earth (and perpendicular to the plane defined by the current's direction and the magnetic field B)

The magnitude of the force, is given by the formula above, and given that all quantities to be considered are is SI units, it will result in Newtons (N):

F=I\,L\,B\\F=2\,*\,1.2\,*\,4.9\,10^{-5}\,N\\F=1.176\,10^{-4}\,N

Which statement best describes a wave?
dedylja [7]

Correct answer choice is:

D. A continuous transmission of energy from one location to the next.

Explanation:

Waves include the carrier of energy without the carrier of matter. In outcome, a wave can be characterized as a change that progresses into a medium, carrying energy from one spot (its source) to different spot without carrying matter.
