A student places a magnetic compass near an insulated copper wire with electric current moving through it. He notices that the c

ompass needle no longer points north.
Which of the following best explains this observation?
A. The magnetic poles that determine north and south reverse periodically.
B. The insulation prevents the compass from detecting Earth's magnetic field.
C. The compass detects the magnetic field produced by the electric current.
D. The copper wire exerts an electrostatic force on the compass needle.

Answer:

C. The compass detects the magnetic field produced by the electric current.

Explanation:

In 1820, Hans Christian Ørsted discovered that a magnetized needle placed in a direction parallel to an electric conductor was deflected when an electric current circulated through the conductor, evidencing the existence of a magnetic field around any conductor crossed by an electric current.

On a rectangle with length 100 m, width 50m and 2 vehicles stationed together. Find the time that they meet given that car A tra
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

T=35.625sec

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Length L=100 m

Width W=50m

Velocity of Car A V_A=5m/s

Velocity of Car B V_B=3m/s

Distance traveled by car A before car B moves

d_l=5*3

d_l=15

Therefore total distance traveled at same time interval

D=total\ distance-d_l

Where

Total distance=Perimeter of rectangle

P=2(L+B)

P=2(100+50)

P=300

Therefore

D=total\ distance-d_l

D=300-15\\D=285m

Generally the equation for time taken to meet is mathematically given by

T=\frac{Distance D}{Relative\ speed V_r}

Where

Relative speed = Speed of car A +Speed of car B

V_r=V_A+V_B

V_r=5+3

V_r=8m/s

Therefore the time taken to meet

T=\frac{ D}{ V_r}

T=\frac{ 285}{ 8}

T=35.625sec

There are many well-documented cases of people surviving falls from heights greater than 20.0 m. In one such case, a 55.0 kg wom
bixtya [17]

1a) -192.7g

1b) 0.0126 s

2) 1309 kg m/s

3) 1.04\cdot 10^5 N

Explanation:

1a)

First of all, we have to find the velocity of the womena just before hitting the ground.

Since the total mechanical energy is conserved during the fall, the initial gravitational potential energy of the woman when she is at the top is entirely converted into kinetic energy.

So we can write:

mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m = 55.0 kg is the mass of the woman

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h = 29.0 m is the initial height of the woman

v is her final speed

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(29.0)}=23.8 m/s

Then, when the woman hits the soil, she is decelerated until a final velocity

v'=0

So we can find the deceleration using the suvat equation:

v'^2-v^2=2as

where

s = 15.0 cm = 0.15 m is the displacement during the deceleration

Solving for a,

a=\frac{v'^2-v^2}{2s}=\frac{0-23.8^2}{2(0.15)}=-1888.3 m/s^2

In terms of g,

a=\frac{-1888.3}{9.8}=-192.7g

1b)

Here we want to find the time it takes for the woman to stop.

Since her motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, we can do it by using the following suvat equation:

v'=v+at

where here we have:

v' = 0 is the final velocity of the woman

v = 23.8 m/s is her initial velocity before the impact

a=-1888.3 m/s^2 is the acceleration of the woman

t is the time of the impact

Solving for t, we find:

t=\frac{v'-v}{a}=\frac{0-23.8}{-1888.3}=0.0126 s

So, the woman took 0.0126 s to stop.

2)

The impulse exerted on an object is equal to the change in momentum experienced by the object.

Therefore, it is given by:

I=\Delta p =m(v'-v)

where

\Delta p is the change in momentum

m is the mass of the object

v is the initial velocity

v' is the final velocity

Here we have:

m = 55.0 kg is the mass of the woman

v = 23.8 m/s is her initial velocity before the impact

v' = 0 is her final velocity

So, the impulse is:

I=(55.0)(0-23.8)=-1309 kg m/s

where the negative sign indicates the direction opposite to the motion; so the magnitude is 1309 kg m/s.

3)

The impulse exerted on an object is related to the force applied on the object by the equation

I=F\Delta t

where

I is the impulse

F is the average force on the object

\Delta t is the time of the collision

Here we have:

I=1309 kg m/s is the magnitude of the impulse

\Delta t = 0.0126 s is the duration of the collision

Solving for F, we find the magnitude of the average force:

F=\frac{I}{\Delta t}=\frac{1309}{0.0126}=1.04\cdot 10^5 N
