Credit-Card Magnetic Strips Experiments carried out on the television show Mythbusters determined that a magnetic field of 1000

gauss is needed to corrupt the information on a credit card's magnetic strip. (They also busted the myth that a credit card can be demagnetized by an electric eel or an eelskin wallet.) Suppose a long, straight wire carries a current of 7.0A . How close can a credit card be held to this wire without damaging its magnetic strip?

Answer:

14 μm

Explanation:

The magnetic field due to a long straight wire is B = μ₀i/2πr where μ₀ = permeability of free space = 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m, i = current = 7.0 A and r = distance of credit card from magnetic field.

So r = μ₀i/2πB since B = 1000 gauss = 1000 G × 1 T/10000 G = 0.1 T

r = 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m × 7.0 A/(2π × 0.1 T)

r = 2 × 10⁻⁷ H/m × 7.0 A/0.1 T

r = 14 × 10⁻⁷ H/m × A/0.1 T

r = 140 × 10⁻⁷ m

r = 1.4 × 10⁻⁵ m

r = 14 × 10⁻⁶ m

r = 14 μm

The first impression you give is the most important what does it mean?

Neko [114]

Answer:

The reason why first impressions are so important is that they last well beyond that moment. This is thanks to something called the primacy effect, which means that when someone experiences something before other things in a sequence, they remember that first thing more.

A 1750-kilogram cars travels at a constant speed of 15.0 meters per second around a horizontal, circular track with a radius of

bulgar [2K]

m = mass of the car moving in horizontal circle = 1750 kg

v = Constant speed of the car moving in the horizontal circle = 15 m/s

r = radius of the horizontal circular track traced by the car = 45.0 m

F = magnitude of the centripetal force acting on the car

To move in a circle . centripetal force is required which is given as

F = m v²/r

inserting the above values in the formula

F = (1750) (15)²/(45)

F = (1750) (225)/(45)

F = 1750 x 5

F = 8750 N

A rock is thrown off a cliff at an angle of 53° with respect to the horizontal. The cliff is 100 m high. The initial speed of th

Nadusha1986 [10]

(a) 129.3 m

The motion of the rock is a projectile motion, consisting of two indipendent motions along the x- direction and the y-direction. In particular, the motion along the x- (horizontal) direction is a uniform motion with constant speed, while the motion along the y- (vertical) direction is an accelerated motion with constant acceleration $g=-9.8 m/s^2$ downward.

The maximum height of the rock is reached when the vertical component of the velocity becomes zero. The vertical velocity at time t is given by

$v(t) = v_0 sin \theta +gt$

where

$v_0 = 30 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the rock

$\theta=53^{\circ}$ is the angle

t is the time

Requiring $v(t)=0$ , we find the time at which the heigth is maximum:

$0=v_0 sin \theta + gt\\t=\frac{-v_0 sin \theta}{g}=-\frac{(30)(sin 53^{\circ})}{(-9.8)}=2.44 s$

The heigth of the rock at time t is given by

$y(t) = h+(v_0 sin\theta) t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Where h=100 m is the initial heigth. Substituting t = 2.44 s, we find the maximum height of the rock:

$y=100+(30)(sin 53^{\circ})(2.44)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(2.44)^2=129.3 m$

(b) 44.1 m

For this part of the problem, we just need to consider the horizontal motion of the rock. The horizontal displacement of the rock at time t is given by

$x(t) = (v_0 cos \theta) t$

where

$v_0 cos \theta$ is the horizontal component of the velocity, which remains constant during the entire motion

t is the time

If we substitute

t = 2.44 s

Which is the time at which the rock reaches the maximum height, we find how far the rock has moved at that time:

$x=(30)(cos 53^{\circ})(2.44)=44.1 m$

(c) 7.58 s

For this part, we need to consider the vertical motion again.

We said that the vertical position of the rock at time t is

$y(t) = h+(v_0 sin\theta) t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

By substituting

y(t)=0

We find the time t at which the rock reaches the heigth y=0, so the time at which the rock reaches the ground:

$0=100+(30)(sin 53^{\circ})t+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)t^2\\0=100+23.96t-4.9t^2$

which gives two solutions:

t = -2.69 s (negative, we discard it)

t = 7.58 s --> this is our solution

(d) 136.8 m

The range of the rock can be simply calculated by calculating the horizontal distance travelled by the rock when it reaches the ground, so when

t = 7.58 s

Since the horizontal position of the rock is given by

$x(t) = (v_0 cos \theta) t$

Substituting

$v_0 = 30 m/s\\\theta=53^{\circ}$

and t = 7.58 s we find:

$x=(30)(cos 53^{\circ})(7.58)=136.8 m$

(e) (36.1 m, 128.3 m), (72.2 m, 117.4 m), (108.3 m, 67.4 m)

Using the equations of motions along the two directions:

$x(t) = (v_0 cos \theta) t$

$y(t) = h+(v_0 sin\theta) t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

And substituting the different times, we find:

$x(2.0 s)=(30)(cos 53^{\circ})(2.0)=36.1 m$

$y(2.0 s)= 100+(23.96)(2.0)-4.9(2.0)^2=128.3 m$

$x(4.0 s)=(30)(cos 53^{\circ})(4.0)=72.2 m$

$y(4.0 s)= 100+(23.96)(4.0)-4.9(4.0)^2=117.4 m$

$x(6.0 s)=(30)(cos 53^{\circ})(6.0)=108.3 m$

$y(6.0 s)= 100+(23.96)(6.0)-4.9(6.0)^2=67.4 m$
