Explain why the same side of the moon is always facing Earth.

Physics

Ad libitum [116K]3 years ago

Answer:

The moon keeps the same face pointing towards the Earth because its rate of spin is tidally locked so that it is synchronized with its rate of revolution (the time needed to complete one orbit). In other words, the moon rotates exactly once every time it circles the Earth.

The magnetic field at the centre of a toroid is 2.2-mT. If the toroid carries a current of 9.6 A and has 6.000 turns, what is th

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Radius, r = 0.00523 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnetic field, $B=2\ mT=2.2\times 10^{-3}\ T$

Current in the toroid, I = 9.6 A

Number of turns, N = 6

We need to find the radius of the toroid. The magnetic field at the center of the toroid is given by :

$B=\dfrac{\mu_oNI}{2\pi r}$

$r=\dfrac{\mu_oNI}{2\pi B}$

$r=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 6\times 9.6}{2.2\pi \times 2\times 10^{-3}}$

r = 0.00523 m

$r=5.23\times 10^{-3}\ m$

So, the radius of the toroid is 0.00523 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which is an inertial reference frame (or at least a very good approximation of one)? Which is an inertial reference frame (or at

ioda

Answer:

A jet plane flying straight and at level at constant speed

Explanation:

The inertial frame of reference is a frame of reference in which all Newton law is valid ie Newton second law of motion and therefore newton first law of motion holds good. The frame of reference does not accelerate.

All the object that is in the frame of reference are at rest or moving with constant rectilinear motion with constant velocity unless acted upon by any force.

A long wire carrying a 5.0 A current perpendicular to the xy-plane intersects the x-axis at x= - 2.0 cm . A second, parallel wir

mario62 [17]

Answer:

a . 0.35cm

b. 11.33cm

Explanation:

a. Given both currents are in the same direction, the null point lies in between them. Let x be distance of N from first wire, then distance from 2nd wire is 4-x

#For the magnetic fields to be zero,the fields of both wires should be equal and opposite.They are only opposite in between the wires:

$\frac{\mu_oi_1}{2\pi x}=\frac{\mu_oi_2}{2\pi(4-x)}\\\\5/x=\frac{3.5}{4-x}\\\\x=2.35cm\\\\N=2.35-2=0.35cm$

Hence, for currents in same direction, the point is 0.35cm

b. Given both currents flow in opposite directions, the null point lies on the other side.

#For the magnetic fields to be zero,the fields of both wires should be equal and opposite.They are only opposite in outside the wires:

Let x be distance of N from first wire, then distance from 2nd wire is 4+x:

$\frac{\mu_oi_1}{2\pi(4+ x)}=\frac{\mu_oi_2}{2\pi x}\\\\5/(4+x)=\frac{3.5}{x}\\\\x=9.33cm\\\\N=9.33+2=11.33cm$

Hence, if currents are in opposite directions the point on x-axis is 11.33cm
