In models of magnetic and electric fields, why are field vectors depicted by arrows?

Physics

taurus [48]2 years ago

The arrows in models of magnetic and electric fields show  both their magnitude and direction.

In Physics, a vector refers to a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Hence, a vector always points in a given direction. The direction in which the arrow points is the direction of the vector in space.

In models of magnetic and electric fields, field vectors depicted by arrows  because they represent both their magnitude and direction. The length of the arrow shows magnitude.

If the distance between the center of two objects is quadrupled. The gravitational
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

F' = F/16

Explanation:

The gravitational force between masses is given by :

F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

If the distance between the center of two objects is quadrupled, r' = 4r

New force will be :

F'=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r'^2}\\\\F'=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{(4r)^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{16r^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{1}{16}\times \dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{F}{16}

So, the new force will change by a factor of 16.

An automatic dryer spins wet clothes at an angular speed of 5.2 rad/s. Starting from rest, the dryer reaches its operating speed
Dvinal [7]
<h2>Time taken by dryer to come up to speed is 1.625 seconds.</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v = u + at

     Initial velocity, u =  0 rad/s

     Final velocity, v = 5.2 rad/s    

     Time, t = ?

     Acceleration, a = 3.2 rad/s²

     Substituting

                      v = u + at  

                      5.2 = 0 + 3.2 x t

                      t = 1.625 s

Time taken by dryer to come up to speed is 1.625 seconds.

A wave with a frequency of 325 Hz. is travelling at a speed of 125 m/s. What is the wavelength of this wave?
ollegr [7]

Answer:

0.385 meters

Explanation:

Just remember this very simple equation:

velocity=(wavelength)*(frequency)

I always remember it as "Velma is Waving Frantically"

So, 125=(wavelength)*(325)

Therefore, wavelength=0.385 meters!

Hope this helped!
