Answer:

a) The magnitude of the current is 24.19 A

b) The angle is 90°

Explanation:

a) Given:

B = magnetic field = 44 µT = 44x10⁻⁶T

r = distance = 11 cm = 0.11 m

The current is:

B=\frac{\mu I}{2\pi r} \\I=\frac{2B\pi r}{\mu } =\frac{2*44x10^{-6}*\pi  *0.11}{4\pi x10^{-7} } =24.19A

b) Because the current flows from the west to the east, therefore, the angle is 90 degrees from the north.

The earth rotates every 86,160 seconds. What is the tangential speed (in m/s) at Livermore (Latitude 37.6819° measured up from e
Lena [83]

Answer:

The tangential speed at Livermore is approximately 284.001 meters per second.

Explanation:

Let suppose that the Earth rotates at constant speed, the tangential speed (v), measured in meters per second, at Livermore (37.6819º N, 121º W) is determined by the following expression:

v = \left(\frac{2\pi}{\Delta t}\right)\cdot R \cdot \sin \phi (1)

Where:

\Delta t - Rotation time, measured in seconds.

R - Radius of the Earth, measured in meters.

\phi - Latitude of the city above the Equator, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

If we know that \Delta t = 86160\,s, R = 6.371\times 10^{6}\,m and \phi = 37.6819^{\circ}, then the tangential speed at Livermore is:

v = \left(\frac{2\pi}{86160\,s} \right)\cdot (6.371\times 10^{6}\,m)\cdot \sin 37.6819^{\circ}

v\approx 284.001\,\frac{m}{s}

The tangential speed at Livermore is approximately 284.001 meters per second.

You are at a friend’s house and they show you a magic trick. The balloon when brought near tiny pieces of paper is making the li
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Static electricity.

Explanation:

Electric Charge; Is the quantity of electricity held in an object

The balloon is electrically neutral, meaning it had an equal amount of positive and negative charges hence it couldn't attract the paper.  

After rubbing the balloon, it gained an electric charge; and after gaining this charge it got the ability to exert a force on the pieces of paper and attract them, This is called static electricity.

Therefore, Static electricity caused the paper to stick to the balloon.

(1) A hydraulic press is used to lift heavy objects. It consists of a U-tube, one end having a large cross-sectional area A1, th
lana [24]

Answer:

The load that can be lifted is equal to the weight W = F2A1/A2

Explanation:

According to Pascal principle which states that the pressure applied to a liquid confined in a container will be transmitted equally to all other parts of the container.

Since pressure = Force/Area

The force F2 applied at one end of the piston will generate a pressure of F2/A2. This pressure generated will be transmitted to the other end of the piston of area A1 to lift the load through a distance.

The piston where the load is will experience an upward force F1 which is equal to Pressure × Area.

The pressure experienced by the load is applied by force F2.

Force on the load = (Pressure exerted by Force F2) × Area at the larger end A1

Force on the load = F2/A2 × A1

Since the load experiences a weight W

The weight will be equal to the force on the load which is to be lifted i.e W =Force on the load.

W = F2A1/A2

The load that can be lifted is equal to the weight W = F2A1/A2

A mover pushes a 30 kg crate across a level florr with a force of 250 N, but the crate accelerates at a rate of only 5.83 m/s sq
arlik [135]

Force of friction=75 N

Explanation:

we use Newton's second law of motion

F- Ff= ma

F = applied force=250 N

Ff= force of friction

a= acceleration= 5.83 m/s²

m= mass=30 kg

250- Ff= 30 (5.83)

Ff=250-30(5.83)

Ff=250-175

Ff=75 N
