Answer:

57 N

Explanation:

Force on a current carrying conductor in a magnetic field

B = 12 X 10⁻⁴ T

= Bil where B is magnetic field , i is current and l is length of conductor

force required = 12 x10⁻⁴ x 47500 x 1

= 57 N

7. Imagine you are pushing a 15 kg cart full of 25 kg of bottled water up a 10o ramp. If the coefficient of friction is 0.02, wh
pentagon [3]

Answer:

The frictional force needed to overcome the cart is 4.83N

Explanation:

The frictional force can be obtained using the following formula:

F= \mu R

where \mu is the coefficient of friction = 0.02

R = Normal reaction of the load = mgcos\theta = 25 \times 9.81 \times cos 10 = 241.52N

Now that we have the necessary parameters that we can place into the equation, we can now go ahead and make our substitutions, to get the value of F.

F=0.02 \times 241.52N

F = 4.83 N

Hence, the frictional force needed to overcome the cart is 4.83N

Two children, Ferdinand and Isabella, are playing with a water hose on a sunny summer day. Isabella is holding the hose in her h
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Isabella will not be able to spray Ferdinand.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the time taken for the water to get to the ground from the hose held at 1 m above the ground. This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 1 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =.?

h = ½gt²

1 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

1 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 1/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(1/4.9)

t = 0.45 s

Next, we shall determine the horizontal distance travelled by the water. This can be obtained as follow:

Horizontal velocity (u) = 3.5 m/s

Time (t) = 0.45 s

Horizontal distance (s) =?

s = ut

s = 3.5 × 0.45

s = 1.58 m

Finally, we shall compare the distance travelled by the water and the position to which Ferdinand is located to see if they are the same or not. This is illustrated below:

Ferdinand's position = 10 m

Distance travelled by the water = 1.58 m

From the above, we can see that the position of the water (i.e 1.58 m) and that of Ferdinand (i.e 10 m) are not the same. Thus, Isabella will not be able to spray Ferdinand.

A circular dartboard has a radius of 2 meters and a red circle in the center. Assume you hit the target at a random point. For w
Sati [7]

Answer:

1.549 m

Explanation:

Given:

The radius of the circular board, r = 2 m

The probability of hitting the red is given as 0.6

Now, this probability of hitting the red can be conclude as

0.6 = (Area of red)/ (Total area of the board)

Total area of the board = πr² = π × 2²

let the radius of the red area be R

thus, area of red circle, = πR²

on substituting the value of the area, we have

0.6 = (πR²)/ (π × 2²)

or

R² = 2.4

or

R = 1.549 m

Thus, the radius of the red circle is 1.549 m
