True or false Earth's magnetic fields are a caused by activity at the poles.

Rama09 [41]3 years ago
6 0

Earth's magnetic field, also known as the geomagnetic field, is the magnetic field that extends from the Earth's interior out into space, where it interacts with the solar wind, a stream of charged particles emanating from the Sun. The magnetic field is generated by electric currents due to the motion of convection currents of a mixture of molten iron and nickel in the Earth's outer core: these convection currents are caused by heat escaping from the core, a natural process called a geodynamo. The magnitude of the Earth's magnetic field at its surface ranges from 25 to 65 μT (0.25 to 0.65 gauss). As an approximation, it is represented by a field of a magnetic dipole currently tilted at an angle of about 11 degrees with respect to Earth's rotational axis, as if there were an enormous bar magnet placed at that angle through the center of the Earth. The North geomagnetic pole actually represents the South pole of the Earth's magnetic field, and conversely the South geomagnetic pole corresponds to the north pole of Earth's magnetic field (because opposite magnetic poles attract and the north end of a magnet, like a compass needle, points toward the Earth's South magnetic field, i.e., the North geomagnetic pole near the Geographic North Pole). As of 2015, the North geomagnetic pole was located on Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada.

A particle with charge −− 5.90 nCnC is moving in a uniform magnetic field B⃗ =−(B→=−( 1.28 TT )k^k^. The magnetic force on the p
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge q=-5.90nC

Magnetic field B= -1.28T k

And the magnetic force

F =−( 3.70×10−7N )i+( 7.60×10−7N )j

Let the velocity be V(xi + yj + zk)

Then, the force is given as

Note i×i=j×j×k×k=0

i×j=k. j×i=-k

j×k=i. k×j=-i

k×i=j. i×k=-j

The force in a magnetic field is given as

F= q(v×B)

−( 3.70×10−7N )i+( 7.60×10−7N )j =

q(xi + yj + zk) × -1.28k

−( 3.70×10−7N )i+( 7.60×10−7N )j=

q( -1.28x i×k - 1.28y j×k - 1.28z k×k)

−( 3.70×10−7N )i+( 7.60×10−7N )j=

q( 1.28xj - 1.28y i )

−( 3.70×10−7N )i+( 7.60×10−7N )j=

q( -1.28y i + 1.28x j)

So comparing comparing coefficients

let compare x axis component

-( 3.70×10−7N )i=-1.28qy i

−3.70×10−7N = -1.28qy

y= -3.7×10^-7/-1.28q

y= -3.7×10^-7/-1.28×-5.90×10^-9)

y=-48.99m/s

y≈-49m/s

Let compare y-axisaxis

7.6×10−7N j = 1.28qx j

7.6×10−7N = 1.28qx

x= 7.6×10^-7/1.28q

x= 7.6×10^-7/1.28×-5.90×10^-9

x=-100.64m/s

a. Then, the velocity of the x component is x= -100.64m/s

b. Also, the velocity component of the y axis is y=-49m/s

c. We will compute

V•F

V=-100.64i -49j

F=−( 3.70×10−7 N )i+( 7.60×10−7 N )j

Note

i.j=j.i=0. Also i.i = j.j =1

V•F is

(-100.64i-49j)•−(3.70×10−7N)i+(7.60×10−7 N )j =

3.724×10^-5 - 3.724×10^-5=0

V•F=0

d. Angle between V and F

V•F=|V||F|Cosx

0=|V||F|Cosx

Cosx=0

x= arccos(0)

x=90°

Since the dot product is zero, from vectors , if the dot product of two vectors is zero, then the vectors are perpendicular to each other

A common flashlight bulb is rated at 0.32 A and 4.3 V (the values of the current and voltage under operating conditions). If the
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

1176.01 °C

Explanation:

Using Ohm's law,

V = IR................. Equation 1

Where V = Voltage, I = current, R = Resistance when the bulb is on

make R the subject of the equation

R = V/I.................. Equation 2

R = 4.3/0.32

R = 13.4375 Ω

Using

R = R'(1+αΔθ)............................. Equation 3

Where R' = Resistance of the bulb at 20°, α = Temperature coefficient of resistivity, Δθ = change in temperature

make Δθ the subject of the equation

Δθ = (R-R')/αR'.................. Equation 4

Given: R = 13.4375 Ω, R' = 1.6 Ω, α = 6.4×10⁻³ K⁻¹

Substitute into equation 4

Δθ = (13.4375-1.6)/(1.6×0.0064)

Δθ = 11.8375/0.01024

Δθ = 1156.01 °C

But,

Δθ = T₂-T₁

T₂ = T₁+Δθ

Where T₂ and T₁ = Final and initial temperature respectively.

T₂ = 20+1156.01

T₂ = 1176.01 °C

Suppose you are walking in an airliner in-flight use newtons third law to describe the effect of your work on the motion on the
Gwar [14]

According to Newton's 3rd law, for every force applied, there's an equal and opposite force that will occur. So when you are walking , you are pushed forward but the plain is "pushed back" from the force

Explanation:

  • A force is a push or a pull that acts upon an object as a results of its interaction with another object. Forces result from interactions.
  • The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. The direction of the force on the first object is opposite to the direction of the force on the second object. Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-reaction force pairs.
  • According to Newton, whenever objects A and B interact with each other, they exert forces upon each other.
  • A variety of action-reaction force pairs are evident in nature.
