Answer:

6.66\cdot 10^{-12}T

Explanation:

The magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire is given by

B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}

where

\mu_0 is the vacuum permeability

I is the current

r is the distance from the wire

In this problem we have

I=0.040 \mu A=4\cdot 10^{-8}A

r = 1.2 mm = 0.0012 m

So the magnetic field strength is

B=\frac{(4\pi \cdot 10^{-7} H/m)(4\cdot 10^{-8}A)}{2\pi (0.0012 m)}=6.66\cdot 10^{-12}T

A fence 8 ft high​ (w) runs parallel to a tall building and is 24 ft​ (d) from it. Find the length​ (L) of the shortest ladder t
AveGali [126]

Answer:

25.3 ft

Explanation:

The illustration of the problem is shown the attached image.

The length of the ladder can be calculated using the Pythagoras theorem:

Hypotenuse^2 = opposite^2 + adjacent^2

The hypotenuse is the length of the ladder.

Hypotenuse = \sqrt{opposite^2 + adjacent^2}

L^2 = BC^2 + (24 + AE)^2........1

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle AEF, hence:

\frac{BC}{8} = \frac{AE + 24}{AE}

BC = \frac{8(AE + 24)}{AE}.................2

Substitute 2 into 1

L^2 = (\frac{8(AE + 24)}{AE})^2 + (24 + AE)^2

Let AE = x

L^2 = (\frac{8x + 192}{x})^2 + (24 + x)^2

    = (8 + \frac{192}{x})^2 + (24 + x)^2

Minimize L with respect to x.

2\frac{dL}{dx} = 2(8 + \frac{192}{x})(-\frac{192}{x^2}) + 2(24 + x)

       =

Holding onto a tow rope moving parallel to a frictionless ski slope, a 61.8 kg skier is pulled up the slope, which is at an angl
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

a) Frope= 71.7 N

b) Frope=6.7 N

Explanation:

In the figure the skier is simulated as an object, "a box".

a) At constant velocity we can say that the object is in equilibrium, so we apply the Newton's first law:

∑F=0

Frope=w*sen6.8°

Frope=71.71N

Take into account that w is the weight that is calculated as mass per gravitiy constant:

w=m*g

w=61.8Kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} }

w=605.64N

b) In this case the system has an acceleration of 0.109m/s2.  Then, we apply Newton's second law of motion:

F=m*a

F=61.8Kg*0.109m/s2

Frope=6.73N

An electron in an atom has an uncertainty of 0.2 nm. If it is doubled to 0.4 nm by what factor does the uncertainty in momentum
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The uncertainty in momentum changes by a factor of 1/2.

Explanation:

By Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, ΔpΔx ≥ h/2π where Δp = uncertainty in momentum and Δx = uncertainty in position = 0.2 nm. The uncertainty in momentum is thus Δp ≥ h/2πΔx. If the uncertainty in position is doubled, that is Δx₁ = 2Δx = 0.4 nm, the uncertainty in momentum Δp₁ now becomes Δp₁ ≥ h/2πΔx₁ = h/2π(2Δx) = (h/2πΔx)/2 = Δp/2.

So, the uncertainty in momentum changes by a factor of 1/2.
