Basalt, formed from magma, contains iron-rich minerals. Why is this important?

1 answer:

5 0

Iron is a magnetic metal, and it is essential to the Earth's magnetic field!
Essentially it "records" (stores the information, maintains) the direction and orientation of the magnetic field.

Among others, the magnetic field protects the Earth from dangerous cosmic rays.

The drawing shows a wire composed of three segments, AB, BC, and CD. There is a current of I = 2.0 A in the wire. There is also

alexdok [17]

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the wire is zero, because the magnetic field is parallel to the wire.

In fact, the magnetic force exerted by the magnetic field on the wire is

where I is the current in the wire, L the length of the wire, B the magnetic field intensity and the angle between the direction of B and the wire. In our problem, B and the wire are parallel, so the angle is and so , therefore the magnetic force is zero: F=0.

A body from the top of a 180 m high mountain is abandoned. Disregarding air resistance and adopting g = 10m / s2, determine:

elena55 [62]

Answer:

1) 6 seconds

2) 60 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Δy = 180 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 10 m/s²

1) Find t.

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

180 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (10 m/s²) t²

t = 6 s

2) Find v.

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (10 m/s²) (180 m)

v = 60 m/s

If a cell phone is dropped from a very tall building, how far has the phone fallen after 2.7 seconds, neglecting air resistance?

Zielflug [23.3K]

The free fall of the phone is an uniformly accelerated motion toward the ground, with constant acceleration equal to
$g=9.81 m/s^2$

So, assuming the downward direction as positive direction of the motion, since the phone starts from rest the distance covered by the phone after a time t is given by
$y(t) = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$
And if we substitute t=2.7 s, we find the distance covered:
$y(t)= \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(2.7 s)^2=35.8 m$
