Answer:

The magnetic field points northwards

Explanation:

This is because a radial magnetic field is generated round the wire and its direction is always in the direction of the tangent to the circle at distance R from the wire. Due east of the wire, the tangent to the circle at radius, R points northwards. So, the direction of the magnetic field at that point is north.

How are energy, force, and the motion of objects related?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

When two objects interact, each one exerts a force on the other that can cause energy to be transferred to or from the object. For example, when energy is transferred to an Earth-object system as an object is raised, the gravitational field energy of the system increases. This energy is released as the object falls; the mechanism of this release is the gravitational force. Likewise, two magnetic and electrically charged objects interacting at a distance exert forces on each other that can transfer energy between the interacting objects.

Explanation:

Even when an object is sitting still, it has energy stored inside that can be turned into kinetic energy (motion). ... A force is a push or pull that causes an object to move, change direction, change speed, or stop. Without a force, an object that is moving will continue to move and an object at rest will remain at rest.

A wildlife researcher is tracking a flock of geese. the geese fly 3.5 km due west, then turn toward the north by 40 ∘ and fly an
kaheart [24]

To solve this problem, we can use the cosine formula for calculating the length of the displacement:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 – 2 a b cos θ

 

where c is the displacement, a = 3.5 km, b = 4.5 km, and θ is the angle inside the triangle

 

Since the geeze turned 40° from west to north, so the angle inside the triangle must be:

θ = 180 – 40 = 140°

 

c^2 = 3.5^2 + 4.5^2 – 2 (3.5) (4.5) cos 140

c^2 = 56.63

c = 7.53 km

 

<span>So the magnitude of the displacement is 7.53 km</span>

How does universal gravitation affect you and objects around you?
Olegator [25]

<u>Answer</u>:

Newton proposed the "law of Universal Gravitation". He said that gravity is universal in nature and it affects all the objects. Gravity is present between you and every object having mass around you. The "Strength of the gravity" between two objects with mass is depends on the product of masses and distance between the objects.

The "Gravitational force" increases with the increase in mass of the objects and decreases with the increase in distance between the objects. The gravity exerts a force on every object. The direction of force of gravity is towards the centre of the Earth.
