Solution:

Since the directions are perpendicular,

So we must use Pythagoras theorem:

d = √(18.0² + 25.0²) m = 30.8 m

Thus,

This the required distance from the starting point.

You are performing an experiment that requires the highest possible energy density in the interior of a very long solenoid. Whic

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

b. increasing the number of turns per unit length on the solenoid

e. increasing the current in the solenoid

Explanation:

As we know that energy density depends on the strength of the magnetic field. The magnetic field strength depends on the no of turns of the solenoid and the current passing through it. The greater the number of turns per unit length, greater the current passing through it, more stronger the magnetic field is. As

B = μ₀nI

n = no of turns

I = current through the wire

So the right options are

b. increasing the number of turns per unit length on the solenoid

e. increasing the current in the solenoid

Use this free body diagram to help you find the magnitude of the force F2 needed to keep this block in static equilibrium. WILL

oksian1 [2.3K]

Static equilibrium means that all forces are equal, so make this easiest you want to break F1 into it's horizontal and vertical components. As there are no other forces acting in the horizontal, we know the horizontal component of F1 is 40N. This allows the vertical component to be found using pythagorus theorem. After finding the vertical and horizontal components, you just have to add the vertical components to find the difference between the up and down.

A series LR circuit contains an emf source of 19 V having no internal resistance, a resistor, a 22 H inductor having no apprecia

masha68 [24]

Answer: R = 394.36ohm

Explanation: In a LR circuit, voltage for a resistor in function of time is given by:

$V(t) = \epsilon. e^{-t.\frac{L}{R} }$

ε is emf

L is indutance of inductor

R is resistance of resistor

After 4s, emf = 0.8*19, so:

$0.8*19 = 19. e^{-4.\frac{22}{R} }$

$0.8 = e^{-\frac{88}{R} }$

$ln(0.8) = ln(e^{-\frac{88}{R} })$

$ln(0.8) = -\frac{88}{R}$

$R = -\frac{88}{ln(0.8)}$

R = 394.36

In this LR circuit, the resistance of the resistor is 394.36ohms.

When a 10 V battery is connected to a resistor, 5 A of current flows through the resistor. What is the resistor's value?

SashulF [63]

Given data

*The value of battery voltage is V = 10 V

*The current flows through the resistor is I = 5 A

The formula for the resistor is given by the Ohm's law as

$R=\frac{V}{I}$

Substitute the values in the above expression as

$\begin{gathered} R=\frac{10}{5} \\ =2\text{ ohm} \end{gathered}$

When does sea breeze occur

Vladimir79 [104]

<span>Sea breeze can happen during hot summer days because of the uneven heating rates of water and land. The land surface heats up faster than the surface of the water during the day. At this rate, the air above the land grows warmer than the air atop the ocean. Warmer air is always lighter than cooler air. As a consequence, warm air is pushed upward causing it to rise. With this, warmer air rises over the land. As warm air rises over the land, cooler air over the ocean flows over the land surface to change or replace the rising warm air.</span>
