Answer:

The magnetic force is 0.3 N.        

Explanation:

Given that,

Current in an unusual lightning strike, I = -400 A

The Earth’s magnetic field at that location is parallel to the ground and has a magnitude of 30 μT, B=30\times 10^{-6}\ T

We need to find the force exerted by the Earth’s magnetic field on the 25 m-long current.

The magnetic force is given by :

F=ILB\\\\F=400\times 25\times 30\times 10^{-6}\\\\F=0.3\ N

So, the magnetic force is 0.3 N.

Does the sun always shine directly overhead at the equator at noon
Nikitich [7]
The sun always shines directly overhead at noon. This is because the equator always gets the equivalent amount of sunlight. The area always get 12 hours of sunlight, because it's 0 degrees north and south and it's at the center of the Earth.

Objects in space that are moving at a constant velocity in a straight line ___________.
nikdorinn [45]
The best answer is A) <span>keep moving at a constant velocity until some forces act on them

As the man you're probably tired of hearing about said:

"Every object persists in its state of rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless a new force acts upon it" 
This is Isaac Newton's 1st law of motion, or the law of inertia. 

Put more simply, objects in motion tend to stay in motion, and tend the maintain the same velocity (direction and speed) and objects at rest tend to stay at rest. </span>

When Woods hits a 0.04593 kg golf ball, the golf ball is usually traveling around 281 kilometers per hour. What average force do
Semenov [28]

Answer:

128.9 N

Explanation:

The force exerted on the golf ball is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the ball, so we can write:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}

where

F is the force

\Delta p is the change in momentum

\Delta t=0.030 s is the time interval

The change in momentum can be written as

\Delta p = m(v-u)

where

m = 0.04593 kg is the mass of the ball

u = 0 is the initial velocity of the ball

v=281 km/h =78.1 m/s is the final velocity of the ball

Substituting into the original equation, we find the force exerted on the golf ball:

F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}=\frac{(0.04593)(78.1-0)}{0.030}=128.9 N
