A magnetic compass is placed near an insulated copper wire. When the wire is connected to a battery and a current is created, th

e compass needle moves and changes its position. Which is the best explanation for the production of a force that causes the needle to move?
Physics

6 0

Explanation:

When the wire is connected to a battery, the compass needle moves and changes its position. This happens because the needle magnetizes the copper wire, thus,  creating a force.

While the current in the wire produces a magnetic field and exerts a force on the needle. The insulation on the wire becomes energized and exerts a force on the needle. Hence, the compass needle moves and changes its position.

The surface air pressure on the planet mars is about 0.007 atm. if you were standing on mars, the surface air pressure would be
Lelu [443]
Surface air pressure is a consequence of the weight of the air acting on its surface. For example, if you are standing on Mars, the pressure around you is what you call the surface air pressure. Thus, that surface air pressure must be 0.007 atm.

Assuming that the bridge segments are free to pivot at each intersection point, what is the tension T in the horizontal segment
Sergio039 [100]
Since the bridge and all segments of it are static, the sum of the torques acting on any portion of the bridge you choose is zero for any pivot <span>point you may choose. See if you can find a rigid portion of the bridge and a wisely chosen pivot to which you can apply this powerful fact.
</span>Consider the triangular portion shown in bold and let x be the pivot. (This choice eliminates the torques due to the tensions in the beams that attach at point x.) Find the torques on this left hand triangle (which can be considered a solid piece because of the connections). Remember that counterclockwise torque is positive. Assume that the horizontal segment above   is being stretched, so that the force that the tension in this segment exerts on the bold triangle is directed to the right. Express the torque in terms of  T, L , and Fp.

Answer in terms of T and L :
Tt = (TL.sqrt 3) / 2
Summation Tx =  -LFp - T sqrt[L^2 - (L/2)^2]
The negative value of the tension shows that the segment is actually under a compressible load.  <span />

Lin Yao looks at the back of a spoon. How should she describe her reflection?
Cerrena [4.2K]

The correct answer is C, right-side up and smaller.

It is the most common example of spherical mirrors. The inside of the spoon acts like a concave mirror and the back side of it like a convex mirror.

A convex mirror always forms a real and diminished image. That is, the image formed is erect or right-side up and smaller in size. Therefore, Lin Yao should describe her reflection on the back side of the mirror to be right-side up and smaller.

A ball is thrown upward at time t=0 from the ground with an initial velocity of 60 m/s (~ 134 mph). Assume that g = 10 m/s2.At w
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

6 second

Explanation:

initial velocity of ball, u = 60 m/s

g = 10 m/s^2

Let the ball takes time t to reach at the maximum height

We know that at maximum height, the velocity of ball is zero.

v = 0 m/s

Use first equation of motion

v = u + gt

0 = 60 - 10 x t

t = 6 second

Thus, the ball takes 6 second to reach to maximum height.
