Answer:

B) 5

Explanation:

Mechanical advantage = D/W

= 10/2

= 5.

It has no unit because the inches in the length and width will cancel out.

A 100-m-long wire carrying a current of 4.0 A will be accompanied by a magnetic field of what strength at a distance of 0.050 m

solong [7]

Answer:

1.6 x 10^-5 T

Explanation:

i = 4 A

r = 0.05 m

The magnetic field due to long wire at a distance r is given by

$B = \frac{\mu _{0}}{4\pi }\times \frac{2i}{r}$

B = 10^-7 x 2 x 4 / 0.05

B = 1.6 x 10^-5 T

The total electric flux from a cubical box 26.0 cm on a side is 1840 N m2/C. What charge is enclosed by the box?

vitfil [10]

The expression of the electric flux is

$\Phi = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}$

Here,

Q = Total charge enclosed in the closed surface

$\epsilon_0$ = Permittivity due to free space

Rearranging to find the charge,

$Q = \epsilon_0 \Phi$

Replacing with our values we have finally

$Q = (8.85*10^{-12}F\cdot m^{-1})(1.84*10^3 N\cdot m^2/C)$

$Q = 1.6284*10^{-8} C$ $(\frac{10^9nC}{1C})$

$Q = 0.1684nC$

The charge enclosed by the box is 0.1684nC

The sign of the charge can be decided by using the direction of the flux. The charge enclosed by the cube can be calculated by using the electric flux and the permitivity of free space.

Compare and contrast the inner and outer planets. (Must be in complete sentences) (At least 5 sentences).

Karolina [17]

To contrast inner and outer planets we will start with the climate of the planets and then move on to there lighting. To start the planets closet to the sun, mercury, venus, earth and mars, are all hot compared to the further one, jupiter, saturn, uranus, neptune. This distance also makes the farthe away planets darker than the ones closer. Now to compare all the planets vary from either gass or solid, rocky or icy. All of them spin around the sun and all have objects spinning around them, moons.

A man is standing on the edge of a 20.0 m high cliff. He throws a rock horizontally with an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s.

kherson [118]

Answer:

<em>a. The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground</em>

<em>b. The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff</em>

Explanation:

Horizontal motion occurs when an object is thrown horizontally with an initial speed v from a height h above the ground. When it happens, the object moves through a curved path determined by gravity until it hits the ground.

The time taken by the object to hit the ground is calculated by:

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

The range is defined as the maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object and it can be calculated as follows:

$\displaystyle d=v.t$

The man is standing on the edge of the h=20 m cliff and throws a rock with a horizontal speed of v=10 m/s.

a,

The time taken by the rock to reach the ground is:

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2*20}{9.8}}$

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{4.0816}$

t = 2.02 s

The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground

b.

The range is calculated now:

$\displaystyle d=10\cdot 2.02$

d = 20.2 m

The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff
