How will the magnetic field of a straight wire carrying a constant current interact with the needle of a compass? Does the inter

action depend on the relative orientation of the wire and the compass needle? Does the interaction depend on the location of the needle relative to the wire? Does the interaction depend on the distance between the wire and the needle?

Answer:

the needle will direct its North South according to the magnetic field of current carrying wire.

Explanation:

A current carrying wire always has a magnetic field around it, in circular loops. This magnetic field will be either clockwise or anticlockwise depending on the direction of current.

Right hand rule tells the direction. Place the current carrying wire in your right hand with thumb pointing the direction of current. Curl of the fingers tell the direction of current.

When the needle gets in the vicinity of the field, its poles aligns itself with the field. (previous position of the compass needle has no effect on its position in the field). The north pole and south pole will be set in the direction of magnetic field.

The distance between the needle and wire does effect the strength (accuracy) of the needle position. Strong field will create strong deflection of the needle whereas when the distance from wire increases, field weakens, thus the deflection of needle will be weak.

Initially, a particle is moving at 5.25 m/s at an angle of 35.5° above the horizontal. Three seconds later, its velocity is 6.0
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

 a =( -0.32 i ^ - 2,697 j ^)  m/s²

Explanation:

This problem is an exercise of movement in two dimensions, the best way to solve it is to decompose the terms and work each axis independently.

Break down the speeds in two moments

initial

  v₀ₓ = v₀ cos θ

  v₀ₓ = 5.25 cos 35.5

v₀ₓ = 4.27 m / s

   v_{oy} = v₀ sin θ

 v_{oy}= 5.25 sin35.5

v_{oy} = 3.05 m / s

Final

vₓ = 6.03 cos (-56.7)

vₓ = 3.31 m / s

v_{y} = v₀ sin θ

v_{y} = 6.03 sin (-56.7)

v_{y} = -5.04 m / s

Having the speeds and the time, we can use the definition of average acceleration that is the change of speed in the time order

    a = (v_{f} - v₀) /t

    aₓ = (3.31 -4.27)/3

    aₓ = -0.32 m/s²

    a_{y} = (-5.04-3.05)/3

   a_{y} =  -2.697 m/s²

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

a) t = 3.81 s

b) vf =  37.4 m/s

Explanation:

Data

height = 71.3 m = 234 feet

t = 0 m/s

vf = ?

vo = 0 m/s

Formula

h = vot + 1/2gt²

vf = vo + gt

Process

a)

               h = vot + 1/2gt²

             71.3 = 0t + 1/2(9.81)t²

             2(71.3) = 9,81t²

              t² = 2(71.3)/9.81

              t² = 14.53

              t = 3.81 s

b)

      vf = 0 + (9.81)(3.81)

      vf = 37.4 m/s

Which electromagnet will produce the strongest magnetic force? (1 point)
Contact [7]

Answer:

Y

Explanation:

Y will produce the strongest magnetic force because the current intensity is medium and it has 50 turns in the wire. the number of turns will increase the force because the magnetic field will be more concentrated.

Have a great day :)

An athlete swings a ball, connected to the end of a chain, in a horizontal circle. The athlete is able to rotate the ball at the
nydimaria [60]

Answer: a) the greater speed for the ball is getting with the large radius of the circle. b) 1.68* 10 ^3 m/s^2 c) 1.25*10^3 m/s^2

Explanation: In order to solve this problem firstly we have to consider that speed in a of the circular movement is directly the angular rotation multiply the radius of the circle so by this we found that the second radius get large speed.

Secondly to calculate the centripetal acceleration for the ball we have to considerer the relationship given by:

acceleration in a circular movement= ω^2*r

so

a1= (8.44 *2*π)^2*r1=1.68 *10^3 m/s^2

a2= (5.95*2*π)^2*r2=1.25*10^3  m/s^2
