According to Newton's 3rd law the moon also attracts the earth with equal force which prevents it from falling towards the earth, while the gravitational pull of earth results in The revolution of the moon around the earth the force of the moon is not noticed on earth as the mass of the earth is much greater than that of the moon.

A Car with drives into a solid object with 70 km/h, from which height would it fall if it was in free fall?

Ilya [14]

Answer:

18.9 m.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 70 km/h

Height (h) =?

Next, we shall convert 70 km/h to m/s. This can be obtained as follow:

3.6 km/h = 1 m/s

Therefore,

70 km/h = 70 km/h × 1 m/s / 3.6 km/h

70 km/h = 19.44 m/s

Finally, we shall determine the height. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 19.44 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Height (h) =?

v² = u² + 2gh

19.44² = 0² + (2 × 10 × h)

377.9136 = 0 + 20h

377.9136 = 20h

Divide both side by 20

h = 377.9136 / 20

h = 18.9 m

Thus, the car will fall from a height of 18.9 m

A filamentary conductor is formed into an equilateral triangle with sides of length carrying current i . find the magnetic field

arsen [322]

magnetic field due to a finite straight conductor is given by

$B = \frac{\mu_0 i}{4\pi r}(sin\theta_1 + sin\theta_2)$

here since it forms an equilateral triangle so we will have

$\theta_1 = \theta_2 = 60 degre$

also the perpendicular distance of the point from the wire is

$r = \frac{a}{2\sqrt3}$

now from the above equation magnetic field due to one wire is given by

$B = \frac{\mu_0 i}{4\pi \frac{a}{2\sqrt3}(sin60 + sin60)$

$B = \frac{\mu_0 i*2\sqrt3}{4\pi a}(\sqrt3)$

$B = \frac{3\mu_0 i}{2\pi a}$

now since in equilateral triangle there are three such wires so net magnetic field will be

$B = \frac{9\mu_0 i}{2\pi a}$

Mariulka [41]

Mac and Keena are experimenting with pulses on a rope. Mac vibrates one end up and down while Keena holds the other end. This creates a pulse which they observe moving from end to end. How does the position of a point on the rope before the start of the pulse compare to its position after the pulse passes? Explain your reasoning.

The ink drops have a mass m = 1.00×10^−11 kg each and leave the nozzle and travel horizontally toward the paper at velocity v =

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

9.98 × 10⁻⁹ C

Explanation:

mass, m = 1.00 × 10⁻¹¹ kg

Velocity, v = 23.0 m/s

Length of plates D₀ = 1.80 cm = 0.018 m

Magnitude of electric field, E = 8.20 × 10⁴ N/C

drop is to be deflected a distance d = 0.290 mm = 0.290 × 10⁻³ m
