1. If the strength of the magnetic field at B is 3 units, the strength of the magnetic field at A is _____.
Ymorist [56]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

C. 12 units

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • If the strength of the magnetic field at B is 3 units, the strength of the magnetic field at A is 12 units
  • Magnetic field strength is one of two ways that the intensity of a magnetic field can be expressed.
  • <em><u>The strength of the field is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. This means that If the distance between two points in magnetic filed is doubled the magnetic force between them will fall to a quarter of the initial value. </u></em>
  • <em><u>On the other hand, if the distance between two magnets is halved the magnetic force between them will increase to four times the initial value.</u></em>

What is the force of gravity between two 50.0kg masses that are separated by 0.300m?3.71x10-8N5.59x10-7N2.78x104N1.85x10-6N
Varvara68 [4.7K]

We will have the following:

\begin{gathered} F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\Rightarrow F=\frac{(6.67\ast10^{-11}m^3\ast kg^{-1}\ast s^{-2})(50kg)(50kg)}{(0.3m)^2} \\  \\ \Rightarrow F=1.852777778...\ast10^{-6}N\Rightarrow F\approx1.85\ast10^{-6}N \end{gathered}

So, the force is approximately 1.85*10^-6 N.

Resistance increases with the length of the wire
Marta_Voda [28]
If the length of the wire increases, then the amount of resistance will also increase.

1. Take a long piece of wire and cut it 10 pieces. Those pieces should all be different sizes, one should be 5___ (units in meter, cm, inches, etc.), and the next should be 5 ___ (units in meter, cm, inches, etc.) more than the one before.
2. Take one piece of wire and measure the resistance using ___ and record the results in the data table.
3. Repeat the previous step with all the pieces of wire.
4. Compare and contrast the results you have found.

I hope this helps a bit :)

Why do objects repel and attract?
Anarel [89]
Objects repel and attract because of a thing called electrostatic attraction. When objects have the same charge (positive or negative), then they will repel, and if they have opposite charges then they will attract

A skateboarder with a mass of 45 kilograms is riding on a skateboard with a mass of 2.5 kilograms. What should be the velocity o
klasskru [66]
So momentum is just velocity times mass, this means Momentum = Velocity x Mass.
We can rearrange this to be Velocity = Momentum/Mass.

Since we know momentum and mass we can now solve.

Velocity = 264/(45+2.5)
              = 5.56 m/s
