A thin aluminum rod lies along the x-axis and has current of I = 16.0 A running through it in the +x-direction. The rod is in th

e presence of a uniform magnetic field, perpendicular to the current. There is a magnetic force per unit length on the rod of 0.113 N/m in the −y-direction.
(a) What is the magnitude of the magnetic field (in mT) in the region through which the current passes?
(b) What is the direction of the magnetic field in the region through which the current passes?

Answer:

a) The magnitude of the magnetic field = 7.1 mT

b) The direction of the magnetic field is the +z direction.

Explanation:

The force, F on a current carrying wire of current I, and length, L, that passes through a magnetic field B at an angle θ to the flow of current is given by

F = (B)(I)(L) sin θ

F/L = (B)(I) sin θ

For this question,

(F/L) = 0.113 N/m

B = ?

I = 16.0 A

θ = 90°

0.113 = B × 16 × sin 90°

B = 0.113/16 = 0.0071 T = 7.1 mT

b) The direction of the magnetic field will be found using the right hand rule.

The right hand rule uses the first three fingers on the right hand (the thumb, the pointing finger and the middle finger) and it predicts correctly that for current carrying wires, the thumb is in the direction the wire is pushed (direction of the force; -y direction), the pointing finger is in the direction the current is flowing (+x direction), and the middle finger is in the direction of the magnetic field (hence, +z direction).

Why does gravity hold objects on earth?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
 
Gravity is an attractive force that works to pull objects together. If 2 objects are close the gravitational pull will be stronger 
Mass and distance determine gravity. The farther two things are away from each other, the weaker the gravitational forces are, the less mass an object has the less gravitational force it exerts

A tangent line drawn on a velocity-time graph has a rise of 19 m/s and a run of 4.0 m/s. How large is the acceleration? What typ
klemol [59]

Answer:

Acceleration = 4.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Change in velocity = 19 m/s

Change in time = 4 s

Find:

Acceleration

Computation:

Acceleration = Change in velocity / Change in time

Acceleration = 19/4

Acceleration = 4.8 m/s²

Positive acceleration

If the column of mercury in a barometer stands at 72.6 cm, what is the atmospheric pressure?
lakkis [162]

Answer:pressure = density * acceleration due to gravity * height

H=72.6cm= 0.726m

P=0.726*13.6*10^3*9.8

P=96761.28Pa

physics A river flows at a speed vr = 5.37 km/hr with respect to the shoreline. A boat needs to go perpendicular to the shorelin
vova2212 [387]

Answer: Vb is the vector  (-5.37m/s,  8.59 m/s), with a module 10.13m/s

then the ratio Vb/Vr = 10.13m/s/5.37m/s = 1.9

Explanation:

We can use the notation (x, y) where the river flows in the x-axis and the pier is on the y-axis.

We have Vr = (5.37m/s, 0m/s)

Now, if the boat wants to move only along the y-axis (perpendicularly to the shore).

The velocity of the boat Vb will be:

Vb = (-c*sin(32). c*cos(32))

Then we should have that:

5.37 m/s - c*sin(32) = 0

c = (5.37/sin(32))m/s = 10.13 m/s

the velocity in the y-axis is:

10.13m/s*cos(32) = 8.59 m/s

So Vb = (-5.37m/s,  8.59 m/s)

the ratio Vb/Vr = 10.13m/s/5.37m/s = 1.9 where i used Vb as the module of the boat's velocity.
