Answer:

s=(15-x)m

Explanation:

Let the distance from spotlight to wall be 15m, and distance from the man to the building be x.

#Therefore the height of the shadow as a function of the above is s=(15-x )m

Hence, height of the shadow is expressed as s=(15-x)m

#See attached photo for illustration

A straight wire in a magnetic field experiences a force of 0.023 N when the current in the wire is 2.5 A. The current in the wir
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

The new current in the wire is 6.3 A.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force in a straight wire, F = 0.023 N

Current in the wire, I = 2.5 A

If new force is, F' = 0.058 N, we need to find the new current.

We know that, magnetic force is given by :

F=ilB\sin\theta

It is clear that force is directly proportional to electric current. So, we can say:

\dfrac{F}{F'}=\dfrac{I}{I'}

I' is new current

I'=\dfrac{IF'}{F}\\\\I'=\dfrac{2.5\times 0.058}{0.023}\\\\I'=6.3\ A

So, the new current in the wire is 6.3 A. Hence, this is the required solution.

Mnenie [13.5K]
Gravity is an example of friction.  If we didn't have gravity, we would be flying all over the place.  Also, friction keeps us from sliding on the ground and falling.
