Tectonic plates move because they are floating on top of the liquid mantle. The mantle itself moves due to convection currents: hot rock rises, gives off some heat, then falls. This creates vast swirls of moving liquid rock under the crust of the earth, which jostles the plates of crust on top.

What is the magnetic flux density (B-field) at a distance of 0.36 m from a long, straight wire carrying a current of 3.8 A in ai

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The magnetic flux density is $2.11\times10^{-6}\ T$

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 0.36 m

Current = 3.8 A

We need to calculate the magnetic flux density

Using formula of magnetic field

$B =\dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{2r}$

Where,

r = radius

I = current

Put the value into the formula

$B =\dfrac{4\pi\times10^{-7}\times3.8}{2\times\pi\times0.36}$

$B=2.11\times10^{-6}\ T$

Hence, The magnetic flux density is $2.11\times10^{-6}\ T$

A hammer of mass m falls from rest off of a roof and drops a height H onto your head.

belka [17]

For conservation of energy we have to:
mgH=mv²/2
Clearing
 v=sqrt(2gH)
Then, by definition
 F=Δp/Δt= Δ(mv)/ Δt=m Δ(v)/Δt=
 =m[sqrt(2gH)-0]/Δt= m[sqrt(2gH)]/ Δt
the answer is
F=m[sqrt(2gH)]/ Δt
