Problem 4: a long wire carries current towards east. a positive charge moves westward and just north from the wire. what is the

direction of the force experienced by this charge?

The direction of the force experienced by the positive charge is upward.

We can use the right-hand rule to understand the direction of the Lorentz force acting on the charge: let's put the thumb in the same direction of the current in the wire (eastward), while the other fingers "wrap themselves" around the wire. These other fingers give the direction of the Lorentz force in every point of the space around the wire. Since the charge is located north of the wire, in that point the fingers are directed upward, so the positive charge experiences a force directed upward.
(if it was a negative charge, we should have taken the opposite direction)

A 5.0 g coin is placed 15 cm from the center of a turntable. The coin has static and kinetic coefficients of friction with the t
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Angular speed will reach 6.833rad/s before the coin starts slipping

Explanation:

There is no question but I'll asume the common one: Calculate the speed of the turntable before the coin starts slipping.

With a sum of forces:

Ff = m*a

Ff=m*V^2/R

At this point, friction force is maximum, so:

\mu*N=m*V^2/R

\mu*m*g=m*V^2/R

Solving for V:

V=\sqrt{\mu*g*R}

V=1.025 m/s

The angular speed of the turntable will be:

ω = V/R = 6.833 rad/s   This is the maximum speed it can reach before the coin starts slipping.

Explain how machines can be useful if the output is always less than the input work
Anni [7]

Because: Some of the work done by the machine is used to overcome the friction created by the use of the machine. ... Work output can never be greater than work input. Machines allow force to be applied over a greater distance, which means that less force will be needed for the same amount of work.

A physical representation of a real object, such as a globe of the world, is an ___ model
densk [106]

Answer;

-Physical model

A physical representation of a real object, such as a globe of the world, is a physical model.

Explanation;

-A physical model is a simplified material representation, usually on a reduced scale, of an object or phenomenon that needs to investigated.

-The model can be used to simulate the physical conditions involved (temperature, waves, speed etc.) and to predict the particular constraints of the situation.

An instrument that measures wind speed is called a(n ________.
Oduvanchick [21]
The instrument that measures wind is called anemometer. Anemometer not only measures wind, but also, this measures the direction of the wind. And anemometer is also a common device used in a station weather. It is dervived from the greek work anemos which means wind.
