Electromagnetic waves are waves that consist of vibrating electric and magnetic fields. ... The fields can exert force over objects at a distance. An electromagnetic wave begins when an electrically charged particle vibrates. This causes a vibrating electric field, which in turn creates a vibrating magnetic field.

Answer:

The objects outside the reference frame aren't moving. It appears this way since the vehicle you are inside is moving, but unless the objects are people, animals, or other vehicles, the objects aren't moving.

Two straight wires are in parallel and carry electrical currents in opposite directions with the same magnitude of 2.0A. The dis

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Two straight wires

Have current in opposite direction

i1=i2=i=2Amps

Distance between two wires

r=5mm=0.005m

Length of one wire is ∞

Length of second wire is 0.3m

Force between the wire,

The force between two parallel currents I1 and I2, separated by a distance r, has a magnitude per unit length given by

F/l = μoi1i2/2πr

F/l=μoi²/2πr

μo=4π×10^-7 H/m

The force is attractive if the currents are in the same direction, repulsive if they are in opposite directions.

F/l = μoi1i2/2πr

F/0.3=4π×10^-7×2²/2π•0.005

F/0.3=1.6×10^-4

Cross multiply

F=1.6×10^-4×0.3

F=4.8×10^-5N

If the resistance of dry skin is 200 times larger than the resistance of wet skin, how do the maximum voltages without shock com

Lelu [443]

Answer:

B) The voltage on dry skin needs to be 200 times larger than the voltage on wet skin.

Explanation:

This is the complete question

A person will feel a shock when a current of greater than approximately 100μ A flows between his index finger and thumb. If the resistance of dry skin is 200 times larger than the resistance of wet skin, how do the maximum voltages without shock compare in each scenario?

A) The voltage on dry skin needs to be 200 times smaller than the voltage on wet skin.

B) The voltage on dry skin needs to be 200 times larger than the voltage on wet skin.

C) The voltage on dry skin is the same as the voltage on wet skin.

D) The voltage on dry skin needs to be 40,000 times larger than the voltage on wet skin.

Ohm's law states that electric current is proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance.

the equation is written as

V = IR

Where V is the voltage

I is the current

R is the resistance

for this case, the current I is 100μ A = 100 x 10^16 A

resistance of wet skin = R

resistance of dry skin = 200R

for the wet skin, voltage will be

V = IR = $100*10^{-6} R$

for dry skin, voltage will be

V = IR = $100*10^{-6}*200R = 0.02R$

Comparing both voltages

$0.02R$ ÷ $100*10^{-6} R$ = 200

this means that the voltage on the wet skin should be 200 times lesser than the voltage on the dry skin or the voltage on the dry skin should be 200 times more than the voltage on the wet skin.

A ball is being rolled by a normal push of 180N. It is opposed by friction which has a force of 61N and air resistance which has

Nina [5.8K]

Resultant force is basically the force left after everything is added.

if a ball is being pushed one one side with 180N, and being pushed on teh opposite side with 84N (I added friction and air resistance since they're acting on the same side), then the resultant force would be:

180N - 84N = 96N (you can determine whether it's positive or negative based on the direction of the vector)

Examine the scenario.

vovangra [49]

Answer:

acceleration 8 km/h/s south

Explanation:

First of all, let's remind that a vector quantity is a quantity which has both a magnitude and a direction.

Based on this definition, we can already rule out the following two choices:

distance: 40 km

speed: 40 km/h

Since they only have magnitude, they are not vectors.

Then, the following option:

velocity: 5 km/h north

is wrong, because the car is moving south, not north.

So, the correct choice is

acceleration 8 km/h/s south

In fact, the acceleration can be calculated as

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

v = 40 km/h is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity

t = 5 s is the time

Substituting,

$a=\frac{40 km/h-0}{5 s}=8 km/h/s$

And since the sign is positive, the direction is the same as the velocity (south).
