Answer:

2.64 x 10⁻⁶T

Explanation:

The magnitude of the magnetic field produced by a long straight wire carrying current is given by Biot-Savart law as follows: "The magnetic field strength is directly proportional to the current on the wire and inversely proportional to the distance from the wire". This can be written mathematically as;

B = (μ₀ I) / (2π r)                ----------------(i)

B is magnetic field

I is current through the wire

r is the distance from the wire

μ₀  is the magnetic constant = 4π x 10⁻⁷Hm⁻¹

From the question;

I = 0.7A

r = 0.053m

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

B =  (4π x 10⁻⁷ x 0.7) / (2π x 0.053)

B = 2.64 x 10⁻⁶T

Therefore the approximate magnitude of the magnetic field at that location is 2.64 x 10⁻⁶T

O'Malley is riding on a bus which is moving at 10 m/s, and he throws a ball which he observes to be moving at 10 m/s relative to
Vikki [24]

Answer:

<em>20 m/s in the same direction of the bus.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Relative Motion </u>

Objects movement is always related to some reference. If you are moving at a constant speed, all the objects moving with you seem to be at rest from your reference, but they are moving at the same speed as you by an external observer.

If we are riding on a bus at 10 m/s and throw a ball which we see moving at 10 m/s in our same direction, then an external observer (called Ophelia) will see the ball moving at our speed plus the relative speed with respect to us, that is, at 20 m/s in the same direction of the bus.

Two small spheres with mass 10 gm and charge q, are suspended from a point by threads of length L=0.22m. What is the charge on e
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

q=1.95*10^{-7}C

Explanation:

According to the free-body diagram of the system, we have:

\sum F_y: Tcos(15^\circ)-mg=0(1)\\\sum F_x: Tsin(15^\circ)-F_e=0(2)

So, we can solve for T from (1):

T=\frac{mg}{cos(15^\circ)}(3)

Replacing (3) in (2):

(\frac{mg}{cos(15^\circ)})sin(15^\circ)=F_e

The electric force (F_e) is given by the Coulomb's law. Recall that the charge q is the same in both spheres:

(\frac{mg}{cos(15^\circ)})sin(15^\circ)=\frac{kq^2}{r^2}(4)

According to pythagoras theorem, the distance of separation (r) of the spheres are given by:

sin(15^\circ)=\frac{\frac{r}{2}}{L}\\r=2Lsin(15^\circ)(5)

Finally, we replace (5) in (4) and solving for q:

mgtan(15^\circ)=\frac{kq^2}{(2Lsin(15^\circ))^2}\\q=\sqrt{\frac{mgtan(15^\circ)(2Lsin(15^\circ))^2}{k}}\\q=\sqrt{\frac{10*10^{-3}kg(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})tan(15^\circ)(2(0.22m)sin(15^\circ))^2}{8.98*10^{9}\frac{N\cdot m^2}{C^2}}}\\q=1.95*10^{-7}C

What is the relationship between amplitude and frequency of a wave?.
kondaur [170]

Answer:

The relationship between the wave's amplitude and frequency is such that it is inversely proportional to the frequency. The amplitude decreases as the frequency increases. The amplitude increases as the frequency decreases. The higher the energy of a wave, the higher the amplitude. The lower the energy, the lower the amplitude. Energy has no effect on wavelength, speed, or frequency, only the amplitude.
