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.

A team of bicyclists are on bikes that require 512 J of work to ride. It takes 432 J of work for the bike to turn the gears. Wha
Alja [10]

Answer:

84.4 %

Explanation:

Mechanical efficiency = output work/input work × 100 %

output work = 432 J of work for the bike to turn the gears

input work = 512 J of work to ride.

Mechanical efficiency =  432 J/512 J × 100 %

= 0.844 × 100%

= 84.4 %

The mass of a spacecraft is about 435 kg . An engine designed to increase the speed of the spacecraft while in outer space provi
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Δ v =  125 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of space craft = 435 Kg

thrust = 0.09 N

time = 1 week

       = 7 x 24  x 60 x 60 s

change in speed of craft = ?

Assuming no external force is exerted on the space craft

now,

T= m_s a

a=\dfrac{T}{m_s}

a =\dfrac{0.09}{435}

a = 2.068 x 10⁻⁴ m/s²

using equation of motion

Δ v = a t

Δ v = 2.068 x 10⁻⁴ x 7 x 24 x 60 x 60

Δ v =  125 m/s
