Answer: The correct option is A ( horizontally towards the east)
Explanation:
Magnetic field is a region around a magnet or a current- carrying conductor, where a magnetic force is experienced. The magnetic effect of electric current was first discovered in the early 1820 by Oersted. Using a wire that had current flowing through it and a pivoted magnetic needle, he discovered that the direction of deflection depended on the direction of the current and whether the wire was above or below the needle.
From the way the needle turns when current when current carrying wire is held parallel to it, he therefore concluded that:
--> a current has magnetic field all round it,
--> the magnetic field is in a direction perpendicular to the current.
The above discovery was now modified in Fleming's left hand rule which states that when conductor carrying current is placed in a magnetic field, the conductor will experience a force perpendicular to both the field and the flow of current.
Therefore from the question, a vertical wire carrying current in DOWNWARD direction is placed in a HORIZONTAL magnetic field directed to the NORTH. The direction of the force on the wire is to the EAST.
Answer:
a
all the molecules or atoms in motion has kinetic energy
Answer:
The mechanical advantage of the system is 8
Explanation:
the mechanical advantage measures how much the system multiplies the input force to get the output.
In the given:
The input force (effort) is 20 Newton
The output force (load) is 160 Newton
This means that the mechanical advantage is:
mechanical advantage = load / effort = 160 / 20 = 8
Note that the mechanical advantage is unit-less (has no unit) since it is a ratio between two forces.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
D = 2.38 m
Explanation:
This exercise is a diffraction problem where we must be able to separate the license plate numbers, so we must use a criterion to know when two light sources are separated, let's use the Rayleigh criterion, according to this criterion two light sources are separated if The maximum diffraction of a point coincides with the first minimum of the second point, so we can use the diffraction equation for a slit
a sin θ = m λ
Where the first minimum occurs for m = 1, as in these experiments the angle is very small, we can approximate the sine to the angle
θ = λ / a
Also when we use a circular aperture instead of slits, we must use polar coordinates, which introduce a numerical constant
θ = 1.22 λ / D
Where D is the circular tightness
Let's apply this equation to our case
D = 1.22 λ / θ
To calculate the angles let's use trigonometry
tan θ = y / x
θ = tan⁻¹ y / x
θ = tan⁻¹ (4.30 10⁻² / 140 10³)
θ = tan⁻¹ (3.07 10⁻⁷)
θ = 3.07 10⁻⁷ rad
Let's calculate
D = 1.22 600 10⁻⁹ / 3.07 10⁻⁷
D = 2.38 m
I'd have to say that the list of choices doesn't go far enough.
Advances in Astronomy have been occurring for at least the past two millennia (2000 years). Maybe longer.
