Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

current, I = 20 A

Magnetic force per unit length, F/L

= 0.16 N/m

Conductor in the negative y-direction, therefore θ = 90° (perpendicular)

For a magnetic field,

F = B I L sin θ

B = F/(I L sin θ)

= 0.16 × (1/15 sin 90)

= 0.008 T

The field is in the +ve z - direction.

Answer:

the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field in the region through which the current passes is 0.008 T and +z direction.

Explanation:

given information:

current, I = 20 A

magnetic force per unit length, F/L = 0.16 N/m

the conductor in the negative y-direction

θ = 90° (perpendicular)

as we know the formula to calculate magnetic force is

F = B I L sin θ

B = F/(I L sin θ)

   = (F/L) (1/I sin θ)

   = 0.16 (1/15 sin 90)

   = 0.008 T

since F is in the negative y direction, based of the right hand rule the magnetic field is in positive z direction

Carlos was camping and getting cold as the sun went down. He wanted to light a fire for warmth and light. However, he discovered
storchak [24]
1. The chemical reaction produced by Carlo's fire is exergonic because energy is "going out". As the reaction proceeds, entropy increases as the energy stored in the dry wood and leaves are used up as fuel to create the fire which produces low quality light and warmth.  

2. This reaction is a classic example of an exothermic reaction. Exothermic reactions are characterized with the presence of heat and light in the products. Combustion reactions are always exothermic in nature.

3. Catalyst are substances that are used to speed up reactions by lowering the activation requirement. Catalysts aren't consumed in the reaction and can still be chemically retrieved afterwards. In this situation, the leaves cannot be retrieved after the reaction ends. The leaves speed up the heating of the wood but it does not behave as a catalyst.

How much work do you do on a 15 N book in lifting it straight up for a distance of<br> 0.40 meters?
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Work done, W = 6 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force of gravity acting on the book, weight of the book is 15 N

We need to find the work done in lifting the book straight up for a distance of  0.4 meters.

The weight of the book is acting in downward direction and the book is lifted straight up, it means angle between them is 180 degrees. Work done is given by :

W=Fd\cos180\\\\W=15\times 0.4\times \cos180\\\\W=-6\ J

So, the magnitude of work done in lifting the book is 6 joules.

If a planet has the same mass as the earth, but has twice the radius, how does the surface gravity, g, compare to g on the surfa
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

The surface gravity g of the planet is 1/4 of the surface gravity on earth.

Explanation:

Surface gravity is given by the following formula:

g=G\frac{m}{r^{2}}

So the gravity of both the earth and the planet is written in terms of their own radius, so we get:

g_{E}=G\frac{m}{r_{E}^{2}}

g_{P}=G\frac{m}{r_{P}^{2}}

The problem tells us the radius of the planet is twice that of the radius on earth, so:

r_{P}=2r_{E}

If we substituted that into the gravity of the planet equation we would end up with the following formula:

g_{P}=G\frac{m}{(2r_{E})^{2}}

Which yields:

g_{P}=G\frac{m}{4r_{E}^{2}}

So we can now compare the two gravities:

\frac{g_{P}}{g_{E}}=\frac{G\frac{m}{4r_{E}^{2}}}{G\frac{m}{r_{E}^{2}}}

When simplifying the ratio we end up with:

\frac{g_{P}}{g_{E}}=\frac{1}{4}

So the gravity acceleration on the surface of the planet is 1/4 of that on the surface of Earth.

what is an example of a environmental issue and how was it impacted by humans. please explain in detail where this issue is occu
Burka [1]
An example of an environmental issue is the acid rain in Germany. The acid rain is caused by pollution. Pollution that was caused by car putting harmful gases into the air is the main reason that there is acid rain in Germany. This is a problem because the acid rain is destroying Germany’s forests. Hope this helped!
