Same answer as the first one above
Answer:
- apples falling from trees
- people's feet touching the ground
- sky divers moving toward the ground
- balls bending downward after being thrown
Explanation:
When a space ship is accelerating in space, there is a force known as Inertia that kicks in. Inertia will mirror the effects of gravity on the ship even if there is no gravitational field effect such that anything that would happen where there is gravity, would continue to happen.
This means that apples will fall from trees, people's feet will touch the ground, sky divers will be pulled downwards and balls will bend downwards when thrown as well. These are the same effects expected on earth where gravity pulls things towards the earth's core.
Answer:
The amount of current that must flow through the wire for it to be suspended against gravity by magnetic force = 6.125 A
Explanation:
Force on a wire carrying current in an electric field is given by
F = (B)(I)(L) sin θ
For this question,
The magnetic force must match the weight of the wire.
F = mg
mg = (B)(I)(L) sin θ
(m/L)g = (B)(I) sin θ
Mass per unit length = 75 g/m = 0.075 kg/m
B = magnetic field = 0.12 T
I = ?
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s
θ = angle between wire's current direction and magnetic field = 90°
0.075 × 9.8 = 0.12 × I sin 90°
I = 0.075 × 9.8/0.12 = 6.125 A
