Answer:

539N

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of person = 66kg

Mass of parachute = 4kg

Downward acceleration = 2.1 m/s²

The total force acting on the system is the sum of the force of gravity and the force due to air acting opposite gravity:

F = mg - F(a)

Where g = acceleration due to gravity

Force is given as:

F = ma

=> ma = mg - F(a)

=> F(a) = mg - ma

F(a) = m(g - a)

m is the mass of the entire sustem

m = 66 + 4 = 70kg

=> F(a) = 70(9.8 - 2.1)

F(a) = 70 * 7.7

F(a) = 539N

The upward force on the open parachute from the air is 539N

suppose that you had an ohmmeter and a mystery component that could be either an inductor or a capacitor. How could you use the
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

To determine the mystery component we will connect the mystery component to a DC voltage source, then I will measure the resistance of the component with the use of Ohmmeter, the value of the resistance of the mystery component will determine what the mystery component is

if the resistance > 1( very high )   then component is a capacitor

if the resistance = 0 then component is an inductor

Write an equation for the magnetic field vector b generated by the current at an arbitrary point in terms of i, the length eleme
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

The magnetic field vector B generated by the current at an arbitrary point in terms of i, the length element dl, and the vector for the distance r from dl to the point is given by the equation dB =  μ0/4 π ∫ (dl x r)/rr^{3}

<h3>Biot – Savart Law and its Applications:</h3>

The Biot – Savart Law gets its name from Jean-Baptiste Biot and Felix Savart. This is a formula that describes the relationship between force, displacement, and velocity. It plays a huge role in the branch of electromagnetism. This law is used to derive the equation between the magnetic field which is produced due to the flow of a constant electric current.

The equation of Biot – Savart law is

dB = μ0/4 π ∫ {(idl sinΦ)/r2}

Here,

I is the current,

dl is the small length of the wire. As the direction of this length is along the current hence it forms the vector idl.

r is the position vector of the point in question which is drawn from the current element and

Φ is the angle between the two.

<h3>Applications of Biot – Savart Law </h3>

• It helps in the calculation of magnetic field in an infinitely long straight wire with constant current,

• Calculation of magnetic field in the center of current carrying arc can be done by this,

• To calculate the magnetic field along the axis of a circular current carrying coil, this law can be used.

I'm very confused on this home work question How did magnetism 'drive' the theory of plate tectonics?
kondor19780726 [428]
When Alfred Wegener proposed the idea the continents could move, other scientists scoffed. ... Plate tectonics -- the concept the continents are rockplates moving on the magma underneath -- is now accepted.Magnetism is part of the evidence forplate tectonic theory.
