Answer: F = 2.1 x 10^-4N

Explanation: Question is incomplete.

The complete question is; A straight, 2.5-m wire carries a typical household current of 1.5 A (in one direction) at a location where the earth’s magnetic field is 0.55 gauss from south to north. Find the magnitude and direction of the force that our planet’s magnetic field exerts on this wire if it is oriented so that the current in it is running (a) from west to east.

Given parameters; l = 2.5m, I = 1.5A, B = 0.55 guass = 0.55 x 10^-4 Tesla , theta = 90 (from West to East), F = ?

F = BILsin(theta)

F = 0.55 x 10^-4 x 1.5 x 2.5 x sin 90

F = 2.1 x 10^-4 N.

According to right hand rule, it's direction is upward.

jeka57 [31]

Answer :  The angle between the string and the horizontal is 30 degrees

Explanation:  Imagine this a a triangle where the length of the string (200m) is the hypotenuse and the height of the kite is the opposite side (100m) .

Let the angle between the string and the horizontal be theta.

Now  sin (Theta) = opposite side/hypotenuse

                             =  100/200 = 1/2

Therefore Theta = Sin ⁻¹ ( 1/2 )

Theta = 30 degrees

Neko [114]
Frequency (f) = 500 hz (SI)
Velocity (V) = 1250 m/s (SI)
Wavelength (Lambda) = ? meters

v =  \lambda \times f
1250 =  \lambda \times 500 \\ \lambda = 1250 \div 500 \\ \lambda = 2.5 \: meters

What is the source of all mechanical waves?
frutty [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Vibration.

Explanation:

Mechanical waves is formed by the oscillation of matter and therefore transfer energy from one medium to the other. Unlike electromagnetic waves, mechanical waves need some medium to propagate. It requires an initial energy input and thus carries this energy when it propagates. There are three types of mechanical waves namely transverse waves, longitudinal waves and surface waves. Examples of such waves are sound waves, water waves and seismic waves.
