Answer:

Its traveling in the +x direction

Explanation:

The E-field is in the +y-direction, and the B-field is in the +z-direction, so it must be moving along the +x-direction, since the E-field, B-field and the direction of moving are all at right angles to each other.

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

Two long parallel wires each carry the same current I in the same direction. The magnetic field in wire 1 is given by :

$B_1=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1}{2\pi r}$

Magnetic force acting in wire 2 due to 1 is given by :

$F_{2}=I_2lB_1$

$F_2=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1I_2 l}{2\pi r}$

Similarly, force acting in wire 1 is given by :

$F_1=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1I_2 l}{2\pi r}$ According to third law of motion, the force acting in wire 1 will be in opposite direction to wire 2 as :

$F_2=-F_1$

So, the total magnetic field at the point P midway between the wires is in what direction will be zero as the the direction of forces are in opposite direction.

You stand on top a building 44 m tall with a water balloon. You drop the water balloon from rest. How fast is the balloon moving

BabaBlast [244]

Y₀ = initial position of the balloon at the top of the building = 44 m

Y = final position of the balloon at halfway down the building = 44/2 = 22 m

a = acceleration of the balloon = - 9.8 m/s²

v₀ = initial velocity of the balloon = 0 m/s

v = final velocity of the balloon = ?

using the kinematics equation

v² = v₀² + 2 a (Y - Y₀)

inserting the values

v² = 0² + 2 (- 9.8) (22 - 44)

v = 20.78 m/s

A 5.0 V battery storing 43.0 kJ of energy supplies 1.5 A of current to a circuit. How much energy does the battery have left aft

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

B. 16 kJ

Explanation:

Energy = VIt.............. Equation 1

Where V = Voltage, I = Current, t = time

Given: V = 5.0 V, I = 1.5 A, t = 1 h = 3600 s.

Substitute these values into equation 2

E = 5.0(1.5)(3600)

E = 27000 J

E = 27 kJ.

Amount of energy left = 43 kJ - 27 kJ

Amount of energy left = 16 kJ.

Hence the right option is B. 16 kJ

If a gun is sighted to hit targets that are at the same height as the gun and 75 m away at the same height, how low, as a positi

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

y=-1.66 m

Explanation:

We know that

Range R

$R=\dfrac{u^2sin2\theta }{g}$

Here given that

u= 275 m/s

R=75 m

Now by putting the values

$R=\dfrac{u^2sin2\theta }{g}$

$35=\dfrac{275^2sin2\theta }{9.81}$

θ=0.13°

Now horizontal component of velocity u will be u cosθ.

Horizontal component = 275 cos0.13 = 274.99 m/s

So the time required to cover 180 m in horizontal direction t

180 = 274.99 x t

t=0.65 sec

Now vertical component of velocity u will be u sinθ.

Horizontal component = 275 sin0.13 = 0.62 m/s

So now vertical displacement y will be

$y=u_yt-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$y=0.62 \times 0.65-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 0.65^2$

y=-1.66 m
