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).

What is the magnitude of the force needed to keep a 60 newton rubber block moving across level,dry asphalt in a straight line at
pantera1 [17]

let Coefficients of Friction of Rubber on asphalt (dry) =0.7

F= Coefficients of Friction * normal force = 0.7 * 60 =42 N

so the net force of the rubber is zero, meaning it will travel at a constant speed.

When the rubber is travel at 2m/s, 42N is required to keep moving at constant speed

Ann [662]

Answer:

   θ = 4.78º

with respect to the vertical or 4.78 to the east - north

Explanation:

This is a velocity compound exercise since it is a vector quantity.

The plane takes a direction, the air blows to the west and the result must be to the north, let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the speed

                  v_fly² = v_nort² + v_air²

                  v_nort² = v_fly² + - v_air²

Let's use trigonometry to find the direction of the plane

        sin θ = v_air / v_fly

        θ = sin⁻¹ (v_air / v_fly)

         

let's calculate

        θ = sin⁻¹ (10/120)

         θ = 4.78º

with respect to the vertical or 4.78 to the north-east
