The right hand rule to find the direction of the magnetic field for a falling bar is:

  • The charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us.
  • The charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is horizontal away from us.

The magnetic force is given by the vector product of the velocity and the magnetic field.

        F = q v x B

Where the bolds indicate vectors, F is the force, q the charge on the particle, v the velocity and B the magnetic field.

In the vector product, the vectors are perpendicular, which is why the right-hand rule has been established, see attached:

  • The thumb points in the direction of speed.
  • Fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field.
  • The palm is in the direction of the force if the charge is positive and in the opposite direction if the charge is negative.

They indicate that the bar is dropped, therefore its speed is vertical and downwards, it moves to the left therefore this is the direction of the force, we use the right hand rule, the magnetic field must be horizontal, we have two possibilities:

  • If the charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us.
  • If the charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is, horizontal away from us

In conclusion using the right hand rule we can find the direction of the magnetic field for a falling bar is:

  • The charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is horizontal away from us.
  • The charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us.

WHO IS GOOD AT PHYSICS, ELECTRIC CIRCUITS?​
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer: An electric circuit is a representation of how current moves from the source of the current( example a battery or a cell) through resistors and other devices before entering the source.

Explanation:

The two important types of electrical circuit includes:

--> open circuit and

--> closed circuit.

A circuit is said to be open when the electrical source, such as the battery or the cell, is not connected to any external conductor (or resistance). In this situation, any voltmeter connected across the terminal of the cell measures the total driving force of the cell.

In this type of circuit, current cannot flow from one end of power source to the other due to interruptions.

A circuit is said to be closed if the source of electricity is connected to an external conductor through which current is passed.

In a closed circuit, there is complete electrical connection which allows current to flow or circulate. Here, part of the total driving force of the source is used to drive current through the external resistance and the difference is used to overcome the internal resistance of the battery.

A spherical balloon is filled with gas at a rate of 4 cm 3 /s . at what rate is the radius r changing with with respect to time
Gnoma [55]
The volume of the sphere is given by V = 4/3 * pie * r^3. We seek dr/dt that the rate of change of the radius with respect to time.  
V = 4/3 * pie * r^3 
Since we know the rate at which the volume changes wrt time. We can plug it in to find dr/dt.
 dV/dt = 36pie. But dV/dt = 4/3 * pie * 3r^2 * dr/dt
 So we have that dr/dt = (dV/dt) / 4/3 * pie * 3r^2
 So dr/dt = (36pie)/ 4/3 * pie * 3(4)^2
 dr/dt = 113.112/ 201.0864 = 0.5624

An astronaut on a strange planet finds that she can jump a maximum horizontal distance of 16.0 m if her initial speed is 3.60 m/
Airida [17]
The maximum height that is reached by an object thrown or jumped at a certain initial velocity can be calculated through the equation,

   2ad = Vf² - Vi²

Vf is zero (0) in this equation because this is the point at the velocity at the maximum height of the object.

Substituting the known values,
  2(a)(-16) = 0 - (3.6)²

The value of a from the equation is 0.405 m/s².

<em>Answer: 0.405 m/s²</em>
