Answer:

The deflection angle of the compass is 37⁰

Explanation:

B_{magnet} = B_{Earth}*tan( \theta)\\\\tan( \theta) = \frac{B_{magnet}}{B_{Earth}}

Given;

Earth’s magnetic field strength, B = 20μT

Magnetic field strength of the coil, B = 15 µT

Substitute the given values in the equation above and calculate the deflection angle of the compass.

\tan( \theta) = \frac{15 \mu T}{20 \mu T}\\\\\tan( \theta) = 0.75\\\\\theta = tan^{-1}( 0.75)\\\\\theta = 36.87 =37^o

Therefore, the deflection angle of the compass assuming the two magnetic fields are perpendicular to each other is 37⁰

A motorcycle is traveling up one side of a hill and down the other side. The crest of the hill is a circular arc with a radius o
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

21.8 m/s

Explanation:

At the top of the hill (crest), there are two forces acting on the motorcycle:

- The reaction force of the road, N (upward)

- The force of gravity, mg (downward)

Since the motorcycle is moving by circular motion, the resultant of these forces will give the centripetal force, so:

mg-N = m\frac{v^2}{r}

where the direction of the weight (mg) is equal to that of the centripetal force, and where

m is the mass of the cycle

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

v is the speed

r = 48.6 is the radius of the hill

The cycle loses contact with the road when the reaction force becomes zero:

N = 0

Substituting into the equation, we therefore find the maximum speed that is allowed for the cycle before losing constact:

mg = m\frac{v^2}{r}\\v=\sqrt{gr}=\sqrt{(9.8)(48.6)}=21.8 m/s

Len [333]

Answer: B to C

Explanation: The line is curving inwards, practically calculating the stance that it had went down. If it went straight across, it stayed the same till a specific point, furthermore calculating the bent line bending upwards is actually a partial-raise, conclude points B to C is most likely an un-even balance, meaning it had went down; or decreasing. B to C is the decreasing segment of this equation/problem (question).

A rock thrown with speed 8.50 m/s and launch angle 30.0 ∘ (above the horizontal) travels a horizontal distance of d = 19.0 m bef
frez [133]
Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown below.

The vertical component of the launch velocity is
v = (8.5 m/s)*sin30° = 4.25 m/s
The horizontal component of the launch velocity is
8.5*cos30° = 7.361 m/s

Assume that aerodynamic resistance may be ignored.
Because the horizontal distance traveled is 19 m, the time of travel is
t = 19/7.361 = 2.581 s

The downward vertical travel is modeled by
h = (-4.25 m/s)*(2.581 s) + 0.5*(9.8 m/s²)*(2.581 s)²
   = 21.675 m

Answer: The height is 21.7 m (nearest tenth)
