Speed is the distance traveled
time
but velocity is the change in distance

Speed and Velocity are similar with their only real differences being that Speed has to be positive, and Velocity is a vector, which means that it has to have direction and magnitude.

Three long parallel wires each carry 2.0-A currents in the same direction. The wires are oriented vertically, and they pass thro

blagie [28]

Answer:

$21.2\times 10^{-6}$ T

Explanation:

$i$ = magnitude of current in each wire = 2.0 A

$a$ = length of the side of the square = 4 cm = 0.04 m

$r$ = length of the diagonal of the square = $\sqrt{2}$ a = $\sqrt{2}$ (0.04) = 0.057 m

$B$ = magnitude of magnetic field by wires at A and C

$B = \left ( \frac{\mu _{o}}{4\pi } \right )\left ( \frac{2i}{a} \right )$

$B = (10^{-7}) \left ( \frac{2(2)}{0.04} \right )$

$B = 10\times 10^{-6}$ T

$B'$ = magnitude of magnetic field by wire at B

$B' = \left ( \frac{\mu _{o}}{4\pi } \right )\left ( \frac{2i}{r} \right )$

$B' = (10^{-7}) \left ( \frac{2(2)}{0.057} \right )$

$B' = 7.02\times 10^{-6}$ T

Net magnitude of the magnetic field at D is given as

$B_{net} = \sqrt{B^{2}+B^{2}} + B'$

$B_{net} = \sqrt{2} B + B'$

$B_{net} = \sqrt{2} (10\times 10^{-6}) + (7.02\times 10^{-6})$

$B_{net} = 21.2\times 10^{-6}$ T

Which of these factors best explains why liquid water exists on earth ?

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

earth strong gravity

Explanation:

The only planet that have water bodies is earth. We know that water is one of the important factors for all living organism. Liquid water exists on the earth's surface is due to the atmospheric pressure. The reason behind this is not completely mentioned.

There are so many hypothesis about it. Out of given options the correct option is earth's strong gravity.

Hence, the correct option is (b) " earth strong gravity ".

a person was using a spanner to loosen a tight nut.Their mass was 50kg the spanner was 0.5m long i) what is the persons weight?

sineoko [7]

1) Weight of the person: 490 N

2) Maximum torque: 245 Nm

Explanation:

The weight of a body is equal to the gravitational force exerted on the body; it is given by the equation

$F=mg$

where

m is the mass of the body

g is the acceleration due to gravity

For the person in this problem,

m = 50 kg is the mass

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface

Therefore, the weight of the person is

$F=(50)(9.8)=490 N$

The turning force (also called torque) exerted by a force rotating an object is given by

$\tau = Fd sin \theta$

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the length of the arm (the distance between the force and the pivotal point)

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the arm

For the spanner in this problem,

F = 490 N is the force applied (the weight of the person)

d = 0.5 m is the arm (the length of the spanner)

The maximum torque is obtained when $\theta=90^{\circ}$ , therefore it is:

$\tau=(490)(0.5)(sin 90^{\circ})=245 N\cdot m$

a boy is riding a bicycle at a velocity of 5.0 m/s. he applies the brakes and uniformly decelerates to a stop at a rate of 2.5 m

JulijaS [17]

The working equation would be Vf (final velocity) = Vi (initial velocity) + a (acceleration) t (time). The given data are the initial velocity (5.0 m/s), acceleration (-2.5 m/s^2, negative since it is said to decelerate) and the final velocity (0 m/s, since it will put to a stop). The time would be 2 seconds.
