Answer:

The polar coordinate of P(x,y) = (-3.50\,m,-2.50\,m) is P (r,\theta) = (4.301\,m, 215.538^{\circ}).

Explanation:

Given a point in rectangular form, that is P(x,y) = (x,y), its polar form is defined by:

P(x,y) = (r,\theta) (1)

Where:

r - Norm, measured in meters.

\theta - Direction, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

The norm of the point is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

r = \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}} (2)

And direction is calculated by following trigonometric relation:

\theta = \tan^{-1} \frac{y}{x} (3)

If we know that x = -3.50\,m and y = -2.50\,m, then the components of coordinates in polar form is:

r = \sqrt{(-3.50\,m)^{2}+(-2.50\,m)^{2}}

r \approx 4.301\,m

Since x < 0\,m and y < 0\,m, direction is located at 3rd Quadrant. Given that tangent function has a period of 180º, we find direction by using this formula:

\theta = 180^{\circ}+\tan^{-1} \left(\frac{-2.50\,m}{-3.50\,m} \right)

\theta \approx 215.538^{\circ}

The polar coordinate of P(x,y) = (-3.50\,m,-2.50\,m) is P (r,\theta) = (4.301\,m, 215.538^{\circ}).

And explosion occur 17 km away the time it takes for it sound to reach your ears traveling at 340 m/s is
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

<h3>t = 100secs</h3>

Explanation:

The following data

Distance x = 17km = 17000m

Speed v = 340m/s

Using the formula to get the time;

2x = vt

t = 2x/v

t = 2(17000)/340

t = 34000/340

t = 100secs

<em>Hence it takes 100seconds for the sound to reach your ears</em>

A circular coil 17.7 cm in diameter and containing 18 loops lies flat on the gound. The Earth's magnetic field at this location
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Diameter of the circular coil d = 17.7 cm = 0.177m

Current in the coil, I = 7.4 A

Number of loops in the coil, N = 18

Magnetic field, B = 5.5 x 10-5 T

Angle below line, (θ) = 66°

Write the expression for the torque in the coil

Torque = N x I x B x A x sin (θ)

Where A is the area of the coil and θ° is the angle between the magnetic field and the coil face.

The cross- sectional area of the coil = (pie)(d/2)²

A = (π)(0.177/2)² = 0.0246 m²

The Earth’s magnetic field points into the earth at an angle 66 below the line. The line points towards the north

Hence to find the angle between the magnetic field and the coil face we need to subtract the given angle by 90°

Theta = 90 – 66 = 24°

Substitute the value to find out torque

Torque = 18 x 7.4 x 5.5 x 10⁻⁵ x 0.0246 x sin(24) = 7.33 x 10⁻⁵ N-m

The torque on the coil is 7.33 x 10⁻⁵ N-m
