How are distance and displacement the same?

2 answers:

Distance and displacement are two quantities that may seem to mean the same thing yet have distinctly different definitions and meanings. Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion.

In the case of straight line, when the object is not repeating it's path then distance and displacement would be same.

The magnetic field at 8 cm distance from a long straight wire, carrying is 0.2x10^-5 T. How much is the electric current in the

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The electric current in the wire is 0.8 A

Explanation:

We solve this problem by applying the formula of the magnetic field generated at a distance by a long and straight conductor wire that carries electric current, as follows:

$B=\frac{2\pi*a }{u*I}$

B= Magnetic field due to a straight and long wire that carries current

u= Free space permeability

I= Electrical current passing through the wire

a = Perpendicular distance from the wire to the point where the magnetic field is located

Magnetic Field Calculation

We cleared (I) of the formula (1):

$I=\frac{2\pi*a*B }{u}$ Formula(2)

$B=0.2*10^{-5} T = 0.2*10^{-5} \frac{weber}{m^{2} }$

a =8cm=0.08m

$u=4*\pi *10^{-7} \frac{Weber}{A*m}$

We replace the known information in the formula (2)

$I=\frac{2\pi*0.08*0.2*10^{-5} }{4\pi *10x^{-7} }$

I=0.8 A

Answer: The electric current in the wire is 0.8 A

What is the source of Earth’s magnetic field?

zhuklara [117]

Answer and Explanation:

The main source of earth magnetic field is the metals and iron present in earth crust these metals are mainly found in liquid state in earth crust and we know that whenever there is spinning of these liquid metals then there will magnetic field generate, So the main source of earth magnetic field is the metals present in earth crust.

Space debris left from old satellites and their launchers is becoming a hazard to other satellites. (a) Calculate the speed of a

Pie

Answer:

Part a)

$v = 7407.1 m/s$

Part b)

$v_{rel} = 1.05 \times 10^4 m/s$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that orbital velocity at certain height from the surface of Earth is given as

$v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R+h}}$

here we know that

$M = 5.98 \times 10^{24} kg$

$R = 6.37 \times 10^6 m$

$h = 900 km = 9.0 \times 10^5 m$

now we have

$v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.98 \times 10^{24})}{6.37 \times 10^6 + 9.0 \times 10^5}}$

$v = 7407.1 m/s$

Part b)

When a loose rivet is moving in same orbit but at 90 degree with the previous orbit path then in that case the relative speed of the rivet with respect to the satellite is given as

$v_{rel} = \sqrt{2} v$

$v_{rel} = 1.05 \times 10^4 m/s$
