A wire 25 m long carries a current of 12 A from west to east. If the magnetic force on the wire due to Earth’s magnetic field is

upward (away from Earth) and has a magnitude of 4.0 × 10⁻² N, find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at this location.​

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em>1.33 x 10⁻ ⁴ T outwards.</em>

<em></em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The equation for the magnetic force (F) on a wire whose length is L and carrying a current I in a magnetic field (B) that is uniform is given by;

F = ILB sin θ          ---------------------(i)

Where;

θ = angle between the direction of the current and that of the magnetic field.

From the question,

F = 4.0 × 10⁻² N

I = 12A

L = 25m

θ = 90°

<em>Substitute these values into equation(i) and solve as follows;</em>

4.0 × 10⁻² = 12 x 25 x B x sin 90°

4.0 × 10⁻² = 300 x B x 1

4.0 × 10⁻² = 300B

0.04 = 300B

B = \frac{0.04}{300}

B = 0.000133

B = 1.33 x 10⁻ ⁴ T

To get the direction of the magnetic field, the right-hand rule is used.

If the right hand fingers are positioned in the correct order specified by the right hand rule, then it would be seen that the magnetic field is directed outwards.

Therefore, the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at this location is <em>1.33 x 10⁻ ⁴ T outwards.</em>

The change in momentum that occurs when a 1. 0 kg ball traveling at 4. 0 m/s strikes a wall and bounces back at 2. 0 m/s is.
Doss [256]

Answer:

The change is momentum is given by ∆p=p(inital) - p(final) =4-2=2 kg.m/s

Explanation:

momentum is the product of mass and velocity (speed)

So it's initial momentum would be:

p=mv=(1)(4)=4 kg.m/s

It's final momentum is given by:

p=mv=(1)(2)=2 kg.m/s

Which of the following is true when an object of mass m moving on a horizontal frictionless surface hits and sticks to an object
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

c)

Explanation:

A collision is said to be elastic when the total kinetic energy is the same after the collision. The speed of objects that are stuck together will always be less than the initial speed of the object that was in motion given that the other particle was at rest. It is because the kinetic energy of the system was due to the moving object. The objects have a greater overall mass when they are stuck. If the kinetic energy is the same and the mass increases, the velocity must decrease.

An 8.0 cm object is 40.0 cm from a concave mirror that has a focal length of 10.0 cm. Its image is 16.0 cm in front of the mirro
svet-max [94.6K]
 We can rearrange the mirror equation before plugging our values in. 
1/p = 1/f - 1/q. 
1/p = 1/10cm - 1/40cm
1/p = 4/40cm - 1/40cm = 3/40cm
40cm=3p  <-- cross multiplication
13.33cm = p

Now that we have the value of p, we can plug it into the magnification equation.

M=-16/13.33=1.2
1.2=h'/8cm
9.6=h'

So the height of the image produced by the mirror is 9.6cm.
