A small compass is placed near a current-carrying wire. The wire is vertical, and the compass is on a horizontal surface. The re

d end of the compass needle would point to geographic north if it weren’t near the wire. What direction is the current flowing in the wire, up or down? Explain your reasoning

Answer:

The direction of magnetic field produced by a current carrying wire is given by the right hand thumb rule. If the thumb points in the direction of current the fingers curl along the direction of magnetic field.

further, The red end of the compass needle points in the direction of external magnetic field. As the red end of the needle is pointing away from us, the external magnetic field at its location should also be directed away from us. Using the right hand thumb rule, we can see that this is only possible if the current in the wire is flowing upwards.

A wheel moves in the xy plane in such a way that the location of its center is given by the equations xo = 12t3 and yo = R = 2,
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

the velocity of the point P located on the horizontal diameter of the wheel at t = 1.4 s  is   P =  104.04 \hat{i} -314.432 \hat{j}

Explanation:

The free-body  diagram below shows the interpretation of the question; from the diagram , the wheel that is rolling in a clockwise directio will have two velocities at point P;

  • the peripheral velocity that is directed downward (-V_y) along the y-axis
  • the linear velocity (V_x) that is directed along the x-axis

Now;

V_x = \frac{d}{dt}(12t^3+2) = 36 t^2

V_x = 36(1.7)^2\\\\V_x = 104.04\ ft/s

Also,

-V_y = R* \omega

where \omega(angular velocity) = \frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(8t^4)

-V_y = 2*32t^3)\\\\\\-V_y = 2*32(1.7^3)\\\\-V_y = 314.432 \ ft/s

∴ the velocity of the point P located on the horizontal diameter of the wheel at t = 1.4 s  is   P =  104.04 \hat{i} -314.432 \hat{j}

Which most simplified form of the law of conservation of energy describes the motion of the block as it slides on the floor from
Schach [20]

Answer:

Law of conservation of mechanical energy.

Explanation:

During motion of a block sliding  on the floor from the bottom of the ramp to the moment it stops , kinetic energy is converted into potential energy so that total energy remains constant . No other conversion is taking place , if we consider friction to be absent in the system . Potential energy and kinetic energy form part of mechanical energy . So we can say that mechanical energy is conserved . Hence , system is following law of conservation of mechanical energy.
