A long, straight wire carries a current of 8.60

Physics
1 answer:
Kay [80]3 years ago
6 0

First of all, we need to calculate the magnetic field generated by the wire at a distance r=3.90 cm=0.039 m, which is given by:

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

where I=8.60 A is the current. Substituting numbers in the equation, we find

B=\frac{(4 \pi \cdot 10^{-7})(8.6 A)}{2 \pi (0.039 m)}=4.4 \cdot 10^{-5} T

And now we can calculate the force exerted on the electron, which is given by:

F=qvB

where q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C is the charge of the electron and v=5.0 \cdot 10^4 m/s is its speed. Substituting data in the formula, we find

F=(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(5.00 \cdot 10^4 m/s)(4.4 \cdot 10^{-5} T)=3.5 \cdot 10^{-19} N

The acceleration vector of a particle in projectile motion ________.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Points downward, and its magnitude is 9.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform horizontal motion, with constant velocity and zero acceleration. In fact, there are no forces acting on the projectile along the horizontal direction (if we neglect air resistance), so the acceleration along this direction is zero.

- A vertical motion, with constant acceleration g = 9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground (downward), due to the presence of gravity wich "pulls" the projectile downward.

The total acceleration of the projectile is given by the resultant of the horizontal and vertical components of the acceleration. But we said that the horizontal component is zero, therefore the total acceleration corresponds just to its vertical component, therefore it is a vector with magnitude 9.8 m/s^2 which points downward.

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

n_{air}  =1.0000355

Explanation:

from snells law we have following relation

n' Sin i = n_{air} Sin r

&#10;n_{air} is refractive index of air

n' -  refractive index of air below

i is angle of incidence = 90 - 1.30 = 88.70^o

r is refraction angle

plugging all value in above formula

1.000293 \times sin 88.7 = n_{air} \times sin 90

n_{air}  =1.0000355

saw5 [17]

Answer:

240 V

Explanation:

Vp = 120 V

Np = 25

Ns = 50

Vs = ?

Vs / Vp = Ns / Np

Vs / 120 = 50 / 25

Vs / 120 = 2

Vs = 240 V
