Answer:
The magnitude of the force on the wire is 2.68 N.
Explanation:
Given that,
Length of the wire, L = 5 m
Magnetic field, B = 0.37 T
Angle between wire and the magnetic field,
Current in the wire, I = 2.9 A
We need to find the magnitude of the force on the wire. The magnetic force in the wire is given by :
So, the magnitude of the force on the wire is 2.68 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
h = 3.3 m (Look at the explanation below, please)
Explanation:
This question has to do with kinetic and potential energy. At the beginning (time of launch), there is no potential energy- we assume it starts from the ground. There, is, however, kinetic energy
Kinetic energy = m
Plug in the numbers = (4.0)(
)
Solve = 2(64) = 128 J
Now, since we know that the mechanical energy of a system always remains constant in the absence of outside forces (there is no outside force here), we can deduce that the kinetic energy at the bottom is equal to the potential energy at the top. Look at the diagram I have attached.
Potential energy = mgh = (4.0)(9.8)(h) = 39.2(h)
Kinetic energy = Potential Energy
128 J = 39.2h
h = 3.26 m
h= 3.3 m (because of significant figures)
