Two long, straight wires are parallel and are separated by a distance of d = 0.210 m. The top wire in the sketch carries current
love history [14]

Answer:

1.88\cdot 10^{-5} T, inside the plane

Explanation:

We need to calculate the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field produced by each wire first, using the formula

B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}

where

\mu_0 is the vacuum permeability

I is the current

r is the distance from the wire

For the top wire,

I = 4.00 A

r = d/2 = 0.105 m (since we are evaluating the field half-way between the two wires)

so

B_1 = \frac{(4\pi\cdot 10^{-7})(4.00)}{2\pi(0.105)}=7.6\cdot 10^{-6}T

And using the right-hand rule (thumb in the same direction as the current (to the right), other fingers wrapped around the thumb indicating the direction of the magnetic field lines), we find that the direction of the field lines at point P is inside the plane

For the bottom wire,

I = 5.90 A

r = 0.105 m

so

B_2 = \frac{(4\pi\cdot 10^{-7})(5.90)}{2\pi(0.105)}=1.12\cdot 10^{-5}T

And using the right-hand rule (thumb in the same direction as the current (to the left), other fingers wrapped around the thumb indicating the direction of the magnetic field lines), we find that the direction of the field lines at point P is also inside the plane

So both field add together at point P, and the magnitude of the resultant field is:

B=B_1+B_2 = 7.6\cdot 10^{-6} T+1.12\cdot 10^{-5}T=1.88\cdot 10^{-5} T

And the direction is inside the plane.

An athlete runs four laps of a 400 m track. What is the athlete's total displacement?​
sasho [114]

Answer:

○ 0 \checkmark

Explanation:

Even if the athelete runs four laps of a 400 m track, its displacement will be 0 because the displacement is the shortest distance from its to final position. And, here the final and initial position is same since he comes to its initial position after covering certain distance. So, displacement is 0.

A 25 kg circular disk has a diameter of 2.5 feet and a thickness of 2.5 cm. Find the density of the disk in kg/m3. Next, find th
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Assume that \rm g= 9.81\; N\cdot kg^{-1}; \rho(\text{Water}) = \rm 1000\;kg\cdot m^{-3}.

Density of the disk: approximately \rm 2.19\times 10^{3}\; kg\cdot m^{-3}.

Weight of the disk: approximately \rm 245\;N.

Buoyant force on the disk if it is submerged under water: approximately \rm 112\; N.

The disk will sink when placed in water.

Explanation:

Convert the dimensions of this disk to SI units:

  • Diameter: d = \rm 25\; inches = (25\times 0.3048)\; m = 0.762\;m.
  • Thickness h = \rm 2.5\; cm = (2.5\times 0.01)\; m = 0.025\;m.

The radius of a circle is 1/2 its diameter:

\displaystyle r = \rm \frac{1}{2}\times 0.762\;m = 0.381\; m.

Volume of this disk:

V(\text{disk}) = \pi\cdot r^{2}\cdot h = \pi\times 0.381^{2}\times 0.025 \approx 0.0114009\; m^{3}.

Density of this disk:

\displaystyle \rho(\text{disk}) = \frac{m}{V} = \rm \frac{25\; kg}{0.0114009\; m^{3}} = 2.19\times 10^{3}\;kg\cdot m^{-3}.

\rho(\text{disk}) >\rho(\text{water}) indicates that the disk will sink when placed in water.

Weight of the object:

W(\text{disk}) = m\cdot g = \rm 25\times 9.81 = 245.25\; N.

The buoyant force on an object in water is equal to the weight of water that this object displaces. When this disk is submerged under water, it will displace approximately \rm 0.0114009\; m^{3} of water. The buoyant force on the disk will be:

\begin{aligned}F(\text{buoyant force}) &= W(\text{Water Displaced}) \\& = \rho\cdot V(\text{Water Displaced})\cdot g\\ & = \rm 1\times 10^{3}\; kg\cdot m^{-3}\times 0.0114009\; m^{3}\times 9.81\; N\cdot kg^{-1}\\ &\approx \rm 112\; N\end{aligned}.

The size of this disk's weight is greater than the size of the buoyant force on it when submerged under water. As a result, the disk will sink when placed in water.

Which type of galaxy has arms that contain sites of active star formation and start close to a bulge in the center?
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Spiral Galaxy

Explanation:

Spiral galaxies are named by their spiral structures that extend from the center into the galactic disc. The spiral arms are sites of ongoing star formation and are brighter than the surrounding disc because of the young, hot OB stars that inhabit them.
