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.

An ideal spring is fixed at one end. A variable force F pulls on the spring. When the magnitude of F reaches a value of 43.8 N,
maw [93]

A force of 43.8 N is required to stretch the spring a distance of 15.5 cm = 0.155 m, so the spring constant <em>k</em> is

43.8 N = <em>k</em> (0.155 m)   ==>   <em>k</em> = (43.8 N) / (0.155 m) ≈ 283 N/m

The total work done on the spring to stretch it to 15.5 cm from equilibrium is

1/2 (283 N/m) (0.155 m)² ≈ 3.39 J

The total work needed to stretch the spring to 15.5 cm + 10.4 cm = 25.9 cm = 0.259 m from equilibrium would be

1/2 (283 N/m) (0.259 m)² ≈ 9.48 J

Then the additional work needed to stretch the spring 10.4 cm further is the difference, about 6.08 J.

What is the difference between weight and mass? Give an example of how they are different.
marusya05 [52]
Mass is the amount of matter it has, while weight <span>is a measurement of the force placed on an object by gravity. An example of how they are different is that mass is always constant while weight varies depending on the location.</span>

A 10000 N net force is accelerating a car at a rate if 5.5 m/s^2. What is the cars’s mass?
lianna [129]

Answer:

1800 kg

Explanation:

Newton's second law:

F = ma

10000 N = m (5.5 m/s²)

m ≈ 1800 kg
