Answer:

Magnetic field experienced = 4.5 × 10⁻⁴ T

Explanation:

The magnetic field around an infinite straight current-carrying wire at a distance r from the wire is given by

B = (μ₀I)/(2πr)

B = ?

I = 20 KA = 20000 A

r = 8.9 m

μ₀ = magnetic permeability = 1.257 × 10⁻⁶ T.m/A

B = (1.257 × 10⁻⁶ × 20000)/(2π×8.9) = 4.5 × 10⁻⁴ T

A spaceprobe has an 29.0 m length when measured at rest. What length
elixir [45]

Answer:

The observer sees the space-probe 9.055m long.

Explanation:

Let L_0 be the length of the space-probe when measured at rest, and L be its length as observed by an observer moving at velocity v, then

(1).\: \: L = L_0\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2} }

Now, we know that L_0 = 29.0m and v = 0.95c, and putting these into (1) we get:

L = 29\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.95c)^2}{c^2} }

L = 29\sqrt{1-0.95^2 }

\boxed{L = 9.055m}

Thus, an observer moving at 0.95c observes the space-probe to be 9.055m long.

A motor running at 2600 rev/min is suddenly switched off and decelerates uniformly to rest after 10 s. Find the angular decelera
Mama L [17]
Angular acceleration = (change in angular speed) / (time for the change)

change in angular speed = (zero - 2,600 RPM)  =  -2,600 RPM

time for the change = 10 sec

Angular acceleration = -2600 RPM / 10 sec = -260 rev / min-sec

(-260 rev/min-sec) x (1 min / 60 sec) = <em>-(4 1/3)  rev / sec²</em>

Since the acceleration is negative, the motor is slowing down.
You might call that a 'deceleration' of (4 1/3) rev/sec² .

The average speed is  1/2(2,600 + 0) = 1,300 rev/min = (21 2/3) rev/sec.

Number of revs = (average speed) x (time) = (21 2/3) x (10sec) = <em>(216 2/3) revs</em>

A sound is produced at one extremity of a metallic pipe of 1000 m of length. A person being at
prohojiy [21]

The sound was repeated because of the phenomenon of echo. The speed of sound in the metal is 800 m/s.

Echo results from the reflection of sound waves. The reason why a sound may be heard twice owes to the phenomenon of reflection which leads to echo.

To determine the speed of sound in the metal;

Length of metal = 1000 m

Time taken between the two sounds = 2.5 s

Using the formula;

V = 2d/t

V = 2(1000)/2.5

V = 800 m/s
