The force on a current-carrying wire is a maximum when the current is moving parallel to a magnetic field. true or false

The force is given by F=iL×B  where i is current, L is the path the current follows (the wire path) and B is the magnetic field.  Also recall that the × symbol is the vector cross product, which can be expressed by the sine of the angle between the vectors L and B.  Therefore we can also say F=iLBsin(θ).  Do you know what value of θ makes sin(θ) the largest?  This will tell you if parallel or perpendicular makes the force strongest.  For one value of θ it will be zero, and for the other it will be maximized.

shows a conical pendulum, in which the bob (the small object at the lower end of the cord) moves in a horizontal circle at const
Contact [7]

Answer:

a) T=0.40 N

b) T=1.9 s

Explanation:

Let's find the radius of the circumference first. We know that bob follows a circular path of circumference 0.94 m, it means that the perimeter is 0.94 m.

The perimeter of a circunference is:

P=2\pi r=0.94

r=\frac{0.94}{2\pi}=0.15 m

Now, we need to find the angle of the pendulum from vertical.

tan(\alpha)=\frac{r}{L}=\frac{0.15}{0.90}=0.17

\alpha=9.44 ^{\circ}

Let's apply Newton's second law to find the tension.

\sum F=ma_{c}=m\omega^{2}r

We use centripetal acceleration here, because we have a circular motion.

The vertical equation of motion will be:

Tcos(\alpha)=mg (1)

The horizontal equation of motion will be:

Tsin(\alpha)=m\omega^{2}r (2)

a) We can find T usinf the equation (1):

T=\frac {mg}{cos(\alpha)}=\frac{0.04*9.81}{cos(9.44)}=0.40 N

We can find the angular velocity (ω) from the equation (2):

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{Tsin(\alpha)}{mr}}=3.31 rad/s

b) We know that the period is T=2π/ω, therefore:

T=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}=\frac{2\pi}{3.31}=1.9 s

I hope it helps you!

An object accelerates 3 m/s2 , when a force of 6 N acts on it. What is the object’s mass
telo118 [61]

Answer:

<h2>2 kg</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of the object can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{f}{a}  \\

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

m =  \frac{6}{3}  \\  = 2

We have the final answer as

<h3>2 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you

The whooping crane (Grus americana) is the tallest bird native to North America. It almost went extinct in the 1900s; in 1938, t
grin007 [14]

Answer:

The value  is   a =  2.7183

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  relationship between the number of whooping cranes and the number of decades is ln N =  2.85 + 0.039t

  The  exponential relationship is  N  =  na^{kt}

Now from the given equation we have that

       N  =   e^{2.85 + 0.039t}

       N  =  17.29 e^{0.039t}

So comparing this equation obtained an the given  exponential relationship we have that

      n = 17.29

       k  =  0.039

        a =  e =  2.7183

        a =  2.7183

A car with a mass of 3 Kg and velocity of 40 m/s collided with a truck of a velocity of 60 m/s, if the momentum is conserved wha
Luden [163]

Answer:

the mass of the truck is 2 kg.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the car, m₁ = 3 kg

initial velocity of the car, u₁ = 40 m/s

initial velocity of the truck, u₂ = 60 m/s

let the mass of the truck = m₂

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momemtum;

m₁u₁ = m₂u₂

m₂ = (m₁u₁) / u₂

m₂ = (3 x 40) / (60)

m₂ = 2 kg

Therefore, the mass of the truck is 2 kg.
