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?

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.

A bird watcher meanders through the woods, walking 1.93 km due east, 1.03 km due south, and 3.84 km in a direction 52.8 ° north
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Magnitude of displacement = 2.07 km

Magnitude of average velocity = 1.17 kmph

Explanation:

Let east represent positive x axis and north represent positive y axis.

A bird watcher meanders through the woods, walking 1.93 km due east, 1.03 km due south, and 3.84 km in a direction 52.8 ° north of west.

1.93 km due wast

           s ₁ = 1.93 i km

1.03 km due south

           s₂ = -1.03 j km

3.84 km in a direction 52.8 ° north of west

           s₃ = -3.84 cos 52.8 i + 3.84 sin 52.8 j = -2.32 i + 3.06 j km

Total displacement

          s = s ₁+  s₂+ s₃ = 1.93 i - 1.03 j -2.32 i + 3.06 j = -0.39 i + 2.03 j

  Magnitude of displacement, =\sqrt{(-0.39)^2+2.03^2}=2.07km

Time taken = 1.771 hour

Magnitude of average velocity, =\frac{2.07}{1.771}=1.17km/hr

A tiger leaps with an initial velocity of 35.0 km/hr at an angle of 13.0ᶿ with respect to the horizontal. What are the component
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Vx = 35 x cos(13deg)

Vy = 35 x sin(13deg) - gt  

(g is acceleration due to gravity =~9.8 meter/second^2, t is time in second)

Explanation:

The tiger leaps up, then x and y component of its velocity are:

Vx = Vo x cos(alpha)

Vy = Vo x sin(alpha) - gt

(Vo is tiger's initial velocity, alpha is angle between its leaping direction and horizontal plane)

Hope this helps!

Explain how the message is transmitted from the receiving neuron’s dendrites down the axon all the way to the axon terminal (ele
Vikki [24]

The vesicles release neurotransmitters. These cross the synapse and are accepted by the receptors in the dendrites of the next neuron.

Explanation:

An axon, or nerve fiber, is a long slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body. Axons are in effect the primary transmission lines of the nervous system, and as bundles they help make up nerves.

When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, it depolarizes the membrane and opens voltage-gated Na+ channels. Na+ ions enter the cell, further depolarizing the presynaptic membrane.

The magnification produced by a plane mirror is +1. what does this mean?
disa [49]

Answer:

The magnification produced by a plane mirror is +1

means then the size of the image is equal to the size of the object. If m has a magnitude greater than 1 the image is larger than the object, and an m with a magnitude less than 1 means the image is smaller than the object.
