The distance should be 4m from the wire in order to get the magnetic field of 0.100μ .

The magnitude and direction of the magnetic field due to a straight wire carrying current can be calculated using the previously mentioned Biot-Savart law. Let "I" be the current flowing in a straight line and "r" be the distance. Then the magnetic field produced by the wire at that particular point is given by $B=\frac{u_0I}{2\pi r}$ ...(1)
Since the wire is assumed to be very long, the magnitude of the magnetic field depends on the distance of the point from the wire rather than the position along the wire.

It is given that magnetic field 40.0 cm away from a straight wire is 1.00μT having current 2.00 A .

From equation (1) magnetic field 40.0 cm = 0.4m away from a straight wire is 1.00μT which is given by $1.00=\frac{u_0I}{2\pi \times0.4}$ .....(2)

From equation (1) magnetic field 'r' m away from a straight wire is 0.100μT which is given by $0.100=\frac{u_0I}{2\pi \times r}$ ...(3)

On dividing equation (2) by (3) , we get

$\frac{1}{0.1} =\frac{r}{0.4} \\\\r=4m$

1pt A cannon fires a 5-kg ball horizontally from a

Klio2033 [76]

Answer: Both cannonballs will hit the ground at the same time.

Explanation:

Suppose that a given object is on the air. The only force acting on the object (if we ignore air friction and such) will be the gravitational force.

then the acceleration equation is only on the vertical axis, and can be written as:

a(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)

Now, to get the vertical velocity equation, we need to integrate over time.

v(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)*t + v0

Where v0 is the initial velocity of the object in the vertical axis.

if the object is dropped (or it only has initial velocity on the horizontal axis) then v0 = 0m/s

and:

v(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)*t

Now, if two objects are initially at the same height (both cannonballs start 1 m above the ground)

And both objects have the same vertical velocity, we can conclude that both objects will hit the ground at the same time.

You can notice that the fact that one ball is fired horizontally and the other is only dropped does not affect this, because we only analyze the vertical problem, not the horizontal one. (This is something useful to remember, we can separate the vertical and horizontal movement in these type of problems)

What is a derived physical quantity? Name three derived physical quantities, and for each, give its S.I. units and its U.S. Cust

anastassius [24]

Answer:

Physical quantity is a physical property of an object or material that can be expressed by magnitude and unit.

The derived physical quantities are the type of physical quantities which can be expressed or defined by other physical quantities, called the base quantities. Example: Area, Volume, Velocity

Area- SI Unit: m², U.S. Customary unit: acre

Volume- SI Unit: m³, U.S. Customary unit: cubic inch

Velocity- SI Unit: m/s, U.S. Customary unit: ft/s

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The relative speed of 1 relative to 2 is 0.88c

Explanation:

In relativistic mechanics the relative speed between 2 objects moving in different direction is given by

$v_{ab}=\frac{v_{a}+v_{b}}{1+\frac{v_{a}v_{b}}{c^{2}}}$
