Answer:

Vertically upwards

Explanation:

Fleming's left hand rule: it states taht when we spread our fore finger, middle finger and thumb in such a way that they are mutually perpendicular to each other, theN thumb indicates the direction of force, fore finger indicates the direction of magnetic field and the middle finger indicates the direction of current.

So according to this rule the direction of force is vertically upwards.

A satellite gets better fuel economy than a Prius.

If you put all of the data that our satellites collect in a year on DVDs, it would form a stack nearly 4 times the height of the Empire State Building.

There are over 2,500 satellites in orbit around the Earth.

What can the magnetic field be used for​
deff fn [24]

Answer:

the magnetic field can be used to make electricity

Explanation:

Moving a magnet around a coil of wire, or moving a coil of wire around a magnet, pushes the electrons in the wire and creates an electrical current. Electricity generators essentially convert kinetic energy (the energy of motion) into electrical energy

Two students 8 meters apart are holding a stretched, coiled spring between them. One student sends a pulse down the string, and
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Distance travelled by wave = 8 x 2 = 16 m

Time taken = 4 s

velocity of pulse wave = distance / time

= 16 m / 4 s

= 4 m/s

If state law mandates that elevators cannot accelerate more than 4.80 m/s2 or travel faster than 19.8 m/s , what is the minimum
Rudik [331]

Answer:

23.0 s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 19.8 m/s

a = 4.80 m/s²

Find: Δx and t

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(19.8 m/s)² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (4.80 m/s²) Δx

Δx = 40.84 m

v = at + v₀

19.8 m/s = (4.80 m/s²) t + 0 m/s

t = 4.125 s

The elevator takes 40.84 m and 4.125 s to accelerate, and therefore also 40.84 m and 4.125 s to decelerate.

That leaves 291.3 m to travel at top speed.  The time it takes is:

291.3 m / (19.8 m/s) = 14.71 s

The total time is 4.125 s + 14.71 s + 4.125 s = 23.0 s.
