A straight segment of a current-carrying wire has a current element IL where I = 2.70 A and L = 3.20 cm i + 4.30 cm j. The segme

nt is in a region with a uniform magnetic field given by 1.24 T i. Find the force on the segment of wire. (Give the x, y, and z components.)

The component of the force in negative z-direction is -0.144 N.

The given parameters;

<em>current in the wire, I = 2.7 A</em>
<em>length of the wire, L = (3.2 i + 4.3j) cm</em>
<em>magnetic filed, B = 1.24 i</em>

The force on the segment of the wire is calculated as follows;

$F = ILBsin(\theta)$

where;

<em>θ is the angle wire and magnetic field</em>

<em />

The force on the wire segment will be perpendicular in negative z-direction (applying right hand rule), so there won't be any x and y component of the force.

The angle between the wire and the magnetic field is calculated as follows;

$\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{y}{x} )\\\\\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{4.3}{3.2} )\\\\\theta = 53.3 \ ^0$

The magnitude of the wire length is calculated as follows;

$|l | = \sqrt{3.2^2 + 4.3^2} = 5.36 \ cm = 0.0536 \ m$

The component of the force in negative z-direction is calculated as;

$F_z = -ILB sin(\theta)\\\\F_z = -2.7 \times 0.0536 \times 1.24 \times sin(53.3)\\\\F_z = -0.144 \ N$

Thus, the component of the force in negative z-direction is -0.144 N.

The sun is more massive than the moon, but the sun is farther from the earth. Which one exerts a greater gravitational force on

love history [14]

Answer:

178.4 times

Explanation:

We have Newton formula for attraction force between 2 objects with mass and a distance between them:

$F_G = G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}$

where $G =6.67408 × 10^{-11} m^3/kgs^2$ is the gravitational constant on Earth. $M_1, M_2$ is the masses of the 2 objects. and R is the distance between them.

From here we can calculate the ratio of gravitational force between the moon and the sun

$\frac{F_s}{F_m} = \frac{G\frac{MM_s}{R_s^2}}{G\frac{MM_m}{R_m^2}}$

We can divide the top and bottom by G and M

$\frac{F_s}{F_m}= \frac{M_s}{R_s^2}:\frac{M_m}{R_m^2}$

$= \frac{M_s}{R_s^2}\frac{R_m^2}{M_m}$

$= \frac{M_s}{M_m}(\frac{R_m}{R_s})^2$

$= \frac{1.99*10^{30}}{7.35*10^{22}}(\frac{3.85*10^8}{1.5*10^{11}})^2$

$= 27074830*6.59*10^{-6} = 178.4$

So the gravitational force of the sun is about 178 times greater than that of the moon to an object on Earth

During a lie detector test, a voltage of 6V is impressed across two fingers. When a certain question is asked, the resistance be

sdas [7]

The current initially through the fingers is : 1.5 * 10⁻⁵ amp

The current when the resistance between them drops is : 3 * 10⁻⁵ amp

<u>Given data : </u>

Voltage ( V ) = 6 V

Initial resistance ( r ) = 400,000 ohms

Final resistance ( R ) = 200,000 ohms

<h3>Determine The Current </h3>

A) initially through fingers

I = V / r

= 6 V / 400,000

= 1.5 * 10⁻⁵ amp

B) when the resistance between them drops

I = V / R

= 6 V / 200000

= 3 * 10⁻⁵ amp

Hence we can conclude that The current initially through the fingers is : 1.5 * 10⁻⁵ amp and The current when the resistance between them drops is : 3 * 10⁻⁵ amp

A completely inelastic collision occurs between two balls of wet putty that move directly toward each other along a vertical axi

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

$y=2.64m$

Explanation:

Given data

Ball one

mass m₁=3.0kg

velocity v₁=20 m/s

Ball second

mass m₂=2.0 kg

velocity v₂=12 m/s

First we need the speed of combined ball.Since the system conserves the linear momentum

$p_{i}=p_{f}\\m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=m_{t}v_{t}$

So the combined velocity vt is:

$v_{t}=\frac{m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}}{m_{t}}\\$

Since the two balls 1 and 2 are moving in opposite direction

So

$v_{t}=\frac{m_{1}v_{1}-m_{2}v_{2}}{m_{t}}\\$

Substitute the given values

$v_{t}=\frac{(3kg)(20m/s)-(2kg)(12m/s)}{(3+2)kg}\\ v_{t}=7.2 m/s$

We have the equation for motion with constant acceleration is given by:

$v^2=v_{o}^2+2g(y-y_{o})\\$

At initial position y₀=0 and vt=v-v₀

So

$v^{2}=v_{o}^2+2g(y-0)\\ y=\frac{v^2-v_{o}^2}{2g}\\ y=\frac{v_{t}^2}{2g}\\ y=\frac{(7.2m/s)^2}{2(9.8m/s^2)}\\ y=2.64m$
