You walk 100m due north. You then turn and walk 55m due east. You then make another turn and walk 12m due south. What is the res

ultant vector for your walk?

Answer:

Explanation:

Important here is to know that due north is a 90 degree angle, due east is a 0 degree angle, and due south is a 270 degree angle. Then we find the x and y components of each part of this journey using the sin and cos of the angles multiplied by each magnitude:

A_x=100cos90\\A_x=0\\B_x=55cos0\\B_x=55\\C_x=12cos270\\C_x=55

Add them all together to get the x component of the resultant vector, V:

V_x=55

Do the same to find the y components of the part of this journey:

A_y=100sin90\\A_y=100\\B_y=55sin0\\B_y=0\\C_y=12sin270\\C_y=-12

Add them together to get the y component of the resultant vector, V:

V_y=88

One thing of import to note is that both of these components are positive, so the resultant angle lies in QI.

We find the final magnitude:

V_{mag}=\sqrt{55^2+88^2} and, rounding to 2 sig dig's as needed:

V_{mag}= 1.0 × 10² m; now for the direction:

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{88}{55})= 58°

Suppose that the current in the solenoid is i(t). The self-inductance L is related to the self-induced EMF E(t) by the equation
Artemon [7]

Answer:

L =   μ₀ n r / 2I

Explanation:

This exercise we must relate several equations, let's start writing the voltage in a coil

        E_{L} = - L dI / dt

 

Let's use Faraday's law

       E = - d Ф_B / dt

in the case of the coil this voltage is the same, so we can equal the two relationships

        - d Ф_B / dt = - L dI / dt

The magnetic flux is the sum of the flux in each turn, if there are n turns in the coil

        n d Ф_B = L dI

we can remove the differentials

      n Ф_B = L I

magnetic flux is defined by

     Ф_B = B . A

in this case the direction of the magnetic field is along the coil and the normal direction to the area as well, therefore the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product

      n B A = L I

the loop area is

      A = π R²

     

we substitute

       n B π R² = L I                    (1)

To find the magnetic field in the coil let's use Ampere's law

        ∫ B. ds = μ₀ I

where B is the magnetic field and s is the current circulation, in the coil the current circulates along the length of the coil

           s = 2π R

we solve

              B 2ππ R =  μ₀ I

              B =  μ₀ I / 2πR

we substitute in

       n ( μ₀ I / 2πR) π R² = L I

       n  μ₀ R / 2 = L I

       L =   μ₀ n r / 2I

1. A perspex box has a 10 cm square base and contains water to a height of 10 cm. A piece of rock of mass 600g is lowered into t
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

(a) The volume of water is 100 cm³

(b) The volume of the rock is 20 cm³

(c) The density of the rock is 30 g/cm³

Explanation:

The given parameters of the perspex box are;

The area of the base of the box, A = 10 cm²

The initial level of water in the box, h₁ = 10 cm

The mass of the rock placed in the box, m = 600 g

The final level of water in the box, h₂ = 12 cm

(a) The volume of water in the box, 'V', is given as follows;

V = A × h₁

∴ The volume of water in the box, V = 10 cm² × 10 cm = 100 cm³

The volume of water in the box, V = 100 cm³

(b) When the rock is placed in the box the total volume, V_T, is given by the sum of the rock, V_r, and the  water, V, is given as follows;

V_T = V_r + V

V_T = A × h₂

∴ V_T = 10 cm² × 12 cm = 120 cm³

The total volume, V_T = 120 cm³

The volume of the rock, V_r = V_T - V

∴ V_r = 120 cm³ - 100 cm³ = 20 cm³

The volume of the rock, V_r = 20 cm³

(c) The density of the rock, ρ = (Mass of the rock, m)/(The volume of the rock)

∴ The density of the rock, ρ = 600 g/(20 cm³) = 30 g/cm³

When a spacecraft travels away from Earth, the gravitational force acting on it
S_A_V [24]
The correct answer is decreases

The further away you are the weaker it would be. That's why at one point you stop being in the field and ti doesn't pull you towards it anymore. Proportionally, if you move towards the Earth then it increases.
