The 3 cm vector represents 63 km.

Since a 1 cm long vector represents a displacement of 21 km, we need to find the number of kilometers a 3 cm vector represents.

Let x represent the displacement the 3 cm vector represents.

By ratio, we have 1 cm: 21 km = 3 cm : x

So, 1 cm/21 km = 3 cm/x

Cross-multiplying, we have

x × 1 cm = 3 cm × 21 km

x = 3 cm × 21 km/1 cm

x = 63 km

So, the 3 cm vector represents a displacement of 63 km.

Having landed on a newly discovered planet, an astronaut sets up a simple pendulum of length 1.38 m and finds that it makes 441
Tasya [4]
The period of a simple pendulum is given by:
T=2 \pi  \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }
where L is the pendulum length, and g is the gravitational acceleration of the planet. Re-arranging the formula, we get:
g= \frac{4 \pi^2}{T^2}L (1)

We already know the length of the pendulum, L=1.38 m, however we need to find its period of oscillation.

We know it makes N=441 oscillations in t=1090 s, therefore its frequency is
f= \frac{N}{t}= \frac{441}{1090 s}=0.40 Hz
And its period is the reciprocal of its frequency:
T= \frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{0.40 Hz}=2.47 s

So now we can use eq.(1) to find the gravitational acceleration of the planet:
g= \frac{4 \pi^2}{T^2}L =  \frac{4 \pi^2}{(2.47 s)^2} (1.38 m) =8.92 m/s^2

If the current in each wire is the same, which wire produces the strongest magnetic field?
lions [1.4K]

Answer: option 4: A wire that is 2-mm thick and coiled.

Explanation:

The current in each wire is same. The magnetic field due to a current carrying wire increases if the wire is coiled with the more number of turns. A thick wire would cause low resistance to the current. Hence, a 2-mm thick wire which is coiled would produce the strongest magnetic field.
