Answer:

the Earth magnetic field in that region is about 89.09 \muT

Explanation:

If the magnetic field has an inclination of 79^o, and its horizontal component is 17 microTesla, then we can calculate the magnitude of the full magnetic field via the cosine function. Notice that the decomposition of a vector in horizontal and perpendicular components originates a right angle triangle where the vector is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

cos(\theta)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\cos(79^o)=\frac{17}{B} \\B=\frac{17}{cos(79^o)}\,\mu T  \\B=89.09\,\,\mu T

Two concentric current loops lie in the same plane. The smaller loop has a radius of 3.4 cmcm and a current of 12 AA. The bigger
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Current in loops are

i1 = 12A

i2 = 20A

The loops are 3.4cm apart

The magnetic field at the center is found to be zero, so when want to find the radius of bigger loop

Magnetic Field is given as

B= μoi/2πr

Where,

μo is a constant = 4π×10^-7 Tm/A

r is the distance between the two wires

i is the current in the wires

B is the magnetic field

NOTE

Field due to large loop should be equal to the smaller loop.

B1 = B2

μo•i1 / 2π•r1 = μo•i2 / 2π•r2

Then, μo, 2π cancels out, so we have

i1 / r1 = i2 / r2

Make r2 subject of formula

i1•r2 = i2•r1

r2 = i2•r1 / i2

r2 = 20×3.4/12

r2 = 5.67cm

The radius of the bigger loop is 5.67cm.

Atmosphere

Atmospheric gas from prehistoric eras is found trapped in glaciers in the form of bubbles. These gas bubbles are the basis of studying ice cores as they provide us with accurate estimates of the conditions of past climates. The bubbles allow us to determine the composition of atmospheric air, such as the carbon dioxide and methane concentrations, as well as allow us to determine air temperatures in the past.

8a. What is the equivalent resistance of the following circuit?
ollegr [7]

Answer: Take your pick

Explanation:

if they are all in parallel 1 /(1/100 + 1/300 + 1/50) = 30 Ω

if 50 is in parallel with 2 in series 1 / (1/(100 + 300) + 1/50) = 44.444...Ω

if 100 is in parallel with 2 in series 1 / (1/(50 + 300) + 1/100) = 77.777...Ω

if 300 is in parallel with 2 in series 1 / (1/(100 + 50) + 1/300) = 100 Ω

If 50 is in series with 2 in parallel 50 + 1/(1/100 + 1/300) = 125 Ω

If 100 is in series with 2 in parallel 100 + 1/(1/50 + 1/300) = 142.857...Ω

If 300 is in series with 2 in parallel 300 + 1/(1/50 + 1/100) = 333.333...Ω

If they are all in series 100 + 300 + 50 = 450 Ω

A clam dropped by a seagull takes 3.0 seconds to hit the ground. What is the seagull's approximate height above the ground at th
ankoles [38]
<h2>The seagull's approximate height above the ground at the time the clam was dropped is 4 m</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

        Time, t = 3 s      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      s = 0 x 3 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 3²

                      s = 44.145 m

The seagull's approximate height above the ground at the time the clam was dropped is 4 m
