Displacements because it includes direction since you want to lead your friend to the right place. If you only include distances then it's like which way should they go. They don't know if it's north, east, south or west. They also don't know if they should travel in a straight line or do they have to make a lot of turns

A surveyor is using a magnetic compass 6.4 m below a power line in which there is a steady current of 120 A. (a) What is the mag
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnetic field due to a long current carrying conductor

μ₀ / 4π x 2i / r  ( i = current , r = distance of point from wire )

= 10⁻⁷ x 2 x 120 / 6.4  ( i = 120 A , r = 6.4m )

= 37.5 x 10⁻⁷ T .

= 3. 75 X 10⁻⁶ T .

= 3.75 µT.

b )

The direction of this field will be horizontal hence it will affect magnetic needle.

Una cámara fotográfica analógica (no digital) tiene dos lentes intercambiables. Uno de foco 55mm y el otro de 200 mm. Toma una f
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

f = 55mm,     h ’= -9.89 cm

f = 200 mm,  h ’= 42.5 cm

Explanation:

For this exercise let's start by finding the distance to the image, using the equation of the constructor

         \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}

where f is the focal length, p and q are the distances to the object and image, respectively

lens with f₁ = 55mm = 0.55cm

         \frac{1}{q} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{p}

         \frac{1}{q_1} = \frac{1}{0.55} - \frac{1}{10}

          \frac{1}{q_1} = 1.718

          q₁ = 0.582 m

lens with f₂ = 200mm = 2m

           \frac{1}{q_2} =   \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{10}

            \frac{1}{q_2} = 0.4

            q₂ = 2.5 m

the magnification of a lens is given by

            m = \frac{h'}{h} = -  \frac{q}{p}

             h ’= - \frac{q}{p} \ h

let's calculate for each lens

f = 55mm

             h '= - 0.582 / 10 1.7

             h ’= 0.0989 m

             h ’= -9.89 cm

f = 200 mm

             h '= - 2.5 / 10 1.7

             h ’= -0.425 m

             h ’= 42.5 cm

The negative sign indicates that the image is real and inverted

Lilit [14]

Answer:

The particles should move faster and have more space between them.

Explanation:

As the molecules heat, they should start to vibrate with the energy. When they vibrate, the space between them increases.

The mertric unit of electrical power is the _____. A. watt B.volt C.ampere D.ohm
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

A - Watt

Explanation:

Watt is the unit of electrical power in a metric system, expressed in terms of energy per second, equal to the work done at a rate of 1 joule per second is

power formula is P = V × I,

                                              where V is the voltage in a circuit

                                                      I is the current flowing through that circuit.

In the SI (metric) system, the units of power are watts.

A pencil is rolled off a table of height 1.25 m. If it has a horizontal speed of 3.1 m/s, how long does it take the pencil to re
Darya [45]
The horizontal speed has no effect on how long it takes to reach the ground.
A bullet shot from a gun and a bullet dropped from the front end of the gun
at the same time as the shot both hit the ground at the same time.

The number that counts is the height from which it fell . . . the 1.25 m.

I'll use this very useful formula:

       Distance of free fall,
       starting from rest            = (1/2) · (gravity) · (time)²

                                  1.25 m  =  (1/2) · (9.8 m/s²) · (time)²

Divide each side
by   4.9 m/s²  :          1.25 m / 4.9 m/s²  =  time²

                                          0.2551 sec²  =  time²

Square root each side:       0.505 sec  =  time

It looks like the correct choice is approximately 'A'. (rounded)
