Answer: 8.16*10^-4 T

Explanation:

Given

Current of the lightening bolt, I = 20 kA

Distance from the strike of the lightening bolt, r = 4.9 m

To solve, we use the formula

B = [μ(0) * I] / 2πr, where

B = magnetic field of the lightening

μ = permeability constant = 4π*10^-7 N/A²

I = current of the lightening

r = distance from the lightening strike

B = [(4 * 3.142*10^-7) * 20*10^3] / (2 * 3.142 * 4.9)

B = (12.568*10^-7 * 20*10^3) / 6.284 * 4.9

B = 0.025 / 30.79

B = 8.16*10^-4 T

The magnetic field to be experienced would be 8.16*10^-4 T large

Answer:

how large a magnetic field would you experience = 8.16 x 10∧-4T

Explanation:

I = 20KA = 20,000A

r = 4.9 m

how large a magnetic field would you experience =  u.I/2πr

how large a magnetic field would you experience = (4π x10∧-7) × 20000/2π × 4.9

how large a magnetic field would you experience = 8.16 x 10∧-4T

Calculate the increase in potential energy of a 60.0-kg man who climbs a ladder 10.0 meters high
andriy [413]

Potential energy = (mass) · (gravity) · (height)

PE = (60 kg) · (9.8 m/s²) · (10 m)

PE = (60 · 9.8 · 10) · (kg · m²/s² )

PE = 5,880 joules

michael drove to a friends house at a rate of 40 mph. he returned the same route at a rate of 45 mph. the driving time for the r
larisa [96]

Answer:

151.58 miles

Explanation:

given,

total trip time = 4 hr                      

speed when drove to a friends house = 40 mph

speed when drove back = 45 mph          

\dfrac{x}{40} + \dfrac{x}{45} = 4            

40 x + 45 x = 4 × (45 × 40)                      

95 x = 7200                                      

x = 75.79 miles                                    

Total distance travel by michael  is 2 x = 2 × 75.79 = 151.58 miles
