Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Inertia is the force that keeps an object at rest. Inertia is referred to as the property which results in it continuing in the state of rest that it is unless there's an external force that acts upon it.

Inertia keeps objects and things in place and it holds the universe together. When there's no force that's acting in an object, such object will continue to move in a straight line and also at a constant speed.

( 8c5p79) A certain force gives mass m1 an acceleration of 13.5 m/s2 and mass m2 an acceleration of 3.5 m/s2. What acceleration

Talja [164]

Answer:

$4.725 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

We know that from Newton's second law of motion, F=ma hence making acceleration the subject then $a=\frac {F}{m}$ where a is acceleration, F is force and m is mass

Also making mass the subject of the formula $m=\frac {F}{a}$

For $m1= \frac {F}{13.5}$ and $m2=\frac {F}{3.5}$ hence $F=(m2-m1)a= (\frac {F}{3.5}-\frac {F}{13.5})a=0.2116402116\\\frac {1}{a}=0.2116402116\\a=4.725 m/s^{2}$

A third baseman makes a throw to first base 40.5 m away. The ball leaves his hand with a speed of 30.0 m/s at a height of 1.4 m

Ugo [173]

Answer:

When the ball goes to first base it will be 4.23 m high.

Explanation:

Horizontal velocity = 30 cos17.3 = 28.64 m/s

Horizontal displacement = 40.5 m

Time

$t=\frac{40.5}{28.64}=1.41s$

Time to reach the goal posts 40.5 m away = 1.41 seconds

Vertical velocity = 30 sin17.3 = 8.92 m/s

Time to reach the goal posts 40.5 m away = 1.41 seconds

Acceleration = -9.81m/s²

Substituting in s = ut + 0.5at²

s = 8.92 x 1.41 - 0.5 x 9.81 x 1.41²= 2.83 m

Height of throw = 1.4 m

Height traveled by ball = 2.83 m

Total height = 2.83 + 1.4 = 4.23 m

When the ball goes to first base it will be 4.23 m high.

What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at a point midway between them if the top one carries a current of 19.5 A and the bo

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

The magnetic field will be $\large{\dfrac{1.4 \times 10^{-4}}{d}} T$ , '2d' being the distance the wires.

Explanation:

From Biot-Savart's law, the magnetic field ( $\large{\overrightarrow{B}}$ ) at a distance ' $r$ ' due to a current carrying conductor carrying current ' $I$ ' is given by

$\large{\overrightarrow{B} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{4 \pi}} \int \dfrac{\overrightarrow{dl} \times \hat{r}}{r^{2}}}$

where ' $\overrightarrow{dl}$ ' is an elemental length along the direction of the current flow through the conductor.

Using this law, the magnetic field due to straight current carrying conductor having current ' $I$ ', at a distance ' $d$ ' is given by

$\large{\overrightarrow{B}} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{2 \pi d}$

According to the figure if ' $I_{t}$ ' be the current carried by the top wire, ' $I_{b}$ ' be the current carried by the bottom wire and ' $2d$ ' be the distance between them, then the direction of the magnetic field at 'P', which is midway between them, will be perpendicular towards the plane of the screen, shown by the $\bigotimes$ symbol and that due to the bottom wire at 'P' will be perpendicular away from the plane of the screen, shown by $\bigodot$ symbol.
