Answer:

(OD) Velocity

Explanation:

Here, the rider is moving with a steady speed (5 m/s) towards south. In this example, we have magnitude as well as direction. Since velocity is a vector quantity, thus we can determine the velocity of the rider.

Two ranger stations are on an east-west line 110 mi apart. A forest fire is located on a bearing of N 42º E from the western sta

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

AB = 110 miles

Let the distance of the western station from fire is d.

As according to the diagram, use Sine law

$\frac{d}{Sin 15}=\frac{110}{Sin 133}$

d = 110 x 0.2588 / 0.73

d = 39 miles

Hans Langseth's beard measured 5.33 m in 1927. Consider two charges, q1 = 2.42 nC and an unspecified charge, q2, are separated 5

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

-7.89 * 10^(-9) C

Explanation:

Parameters given:

q1 = 2.42 nC = 2.42 * 10^(-9) C

Distance between q1 and q2 = 5.33 m

q3 = 1.0 nC = 1 * 10^(-9) C

Distance between q1 and q3 = 1.9 m

Distance between q2 and q3 = 5.33 - 1.9 = 3.43 m

The net force acting on q3 is:

F = F(q1, q3) + F(q2, q3)

F = (k*q1*q3)/1.9² + (k*q2*q3)/3.43²

F = (9 * 10^(9) * 2.42 * 10^(-9) * 1 * 10^(-9))/3.61 + (9 * 10^(9) * q2 * 1 * 10^(-9))/11.7649

F = 6.033 * 10^(-9) + 0.765*q2

If the net force is zero:

0 = 6.033 * 10^(-9) + 0.765*q2

-0.765*q2 = 6.033 * 10^(-9)

=> q2 = -[6.033 * 10^(-9)]/0.765

q2 = -7.89 * 10^(-9) C

A vertical wire carries a current straight up in a region where the magnetic field vector points due north. What is the directio

Elanso [62]

Answer:

The direction of the resulting force on this current is due east.

Explanation:

Given;

direction of the magnetic field to be due north

Applying right hand rule which states that: to determine the direction of the magnetic force on a positive moving charge point the thumb of the right hand in the direction of velocity v, the fingers in the direction of magnetic field B, and a perpendicular to the palm points in the direction of magnetic force.

Since the magnetic force must be perpendicular to the magnetic field, and direction of the magnetic field is due north, then the magnetic force must be due East.

Therefore, the direction of the resulting force on this current is due east.
