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

What is one way to model gravity and magnetism
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Gravity and magnetism are not the same thing. In fact, they are completely separate forces. Gravity is a force that acts between any two objects with mass. ... Magnetism can either pull the two objects together or push them apart, depending on which way the magnets point.

A car passes point “A” and then 120 meters later. It’s velocity was measured 21 m/s. If it’s acceleration was constant at 0.853
Norma-Jean [14]

Recall that

{v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta x

where v_i and v_f are the initial and final velocities, respecitvely; a is the acceleration; and \Delta x is the change in position.

So we have

\left(21\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2-{v_i}^2=2\left(0.853\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(120\,\mathrm m)

\implies v_i\approx\boxed{15.4\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}

(Normally, this equation has two solutions, but we omit the negative one because the car is moving in one direction.)

In some cases fixture wires may be used for
zalisa [80]

You can use fixture wires: For installation in luminaires where they are enclosed and protected and not subject to bending and twisting and also can be used to connect luminaires to their branch circuit conductors.

<h3>What are some uses of fixture wires?</h3>

Fixture wires are flexible conductors that are used for wiring fixtures and control circuits. There are some special uses and requirements for fixture wires and no fixture can be smaller than 18 AWG

In modern fixtures, neutral wire is white and the hot wire is red or black. In some types of fixtures, both wires will be of the same color.

How much force is required to accelerate a 12 kg mass at 5 m/s 2
Savatey [412]

Answer:

60 N

Explanation:

This is just Newton's Second Law

F = m*a

F = ?

m = 12 kg

a = 5 m/^2
