Step by step solution

01

Understanding the concepts of magnetic field:

A magnetic field is a vector field that describes the magnetic effect on moving electric charges, electric currents, and magnetic materials. A moving charge in a magnetic field exerts a force perpendicular to its own velocity and to the magnetic field.

Here, you have to use the formula for Earth’s magnetic field,

B=μ0μ4πr3×1+3sin2λm ..... (1)

And the inclination of Earth’s magnetic field is,

tanϕ=2tanλm ..... (2)

02

Listing the known quantities:

Earth’s magnetic dipole moment,μ=8.00×1022A⋅m2

The radius of the Earth, r=6.378×106m

The permeability of free space,μ0=4π×10−7NA2

03

(a) Calculations of the magnitude of Earth’s magnetic field at the equator:

On equator, the wavelength is,

λm=0

So the magnetic field using equation (1) is,

B=μ0μ4πr3×1+3sin2λm=(4π×10−7NA2)×(8.00×1022A⋅m2)4π×(6.378×106m)3×1+3sin2(0)=3.10×10-5T

Hence, the magnitude of Earth’s magnetic field at the geomagnetic equator is 3.10×10-5T.

04

(b) Calculations of the inclination of Earth’s magnetic field at the equator

Use equation (2) to define the inclined of Earth's magnetic field at the equator.

tanϕi=2×tanλm=2×tan0°

ϕi=0°

Hence, the inclination of Earth’s magnetic field at the geomagnetic equator is 0°.

05

(c) Calculations of the Magnitude of Earth’s magnetic field at 60°:

The wavelength is,

λm=60

Define the magnitude of Earth's magnetic field as below,

B=μ0μ4πr3×1+3sin2λm=(4π×10−7NA2)×(8.00×1022A⋅m2)4π×(6.378×106m)3×1+3sin2(60°)=5.59×10-5T

Hence, the magnitude of Earth’s magnetic field at the geomagnetic latitude is 5.59×10-5T.

06

(d) Calculations of the inclination of Earth’s magnetic field at 60°.

Define the inclination of Earth’s magnetic field at the geomagnetic latitude is,

tanϕi=2×tanλm=2×tan60°

ϕi=73.9°

Hence, the inclination of Earth’s magnetic field at the geomagnetic latitude 60°is 73.9°.

07

(e) Calculations of the magnitude of Earth’s magnetic field at the north pole:

The wavelength,

λm=90

The magnitude of the Earth's magnetic field at north pole is,

B=μ0μ4πr3×1+3sin2λm=(4π×10−7NA2)×(8.00×1022A⋅m2)4π×(6.378×106m)3×1+3sin2(90°)=6.20×10-5T

Hence, the magnitude of Earth’s magnetic field at the north geomagnetic pole is 6.20×10-5T.

08

(f) Calculations of the inclination of Earth’s magnetic field at the north pole:

Again use equation (2) to determine the inclination as below.

tanϕi=2×tanλm=2×tan90°

ϕi=90°

Hence, the inclination of Earth’s magnetic field at the north geomagnetic pole is90°.

An object is tracked by a radar station and determined to have a position vector given byr→=(3500-160t)i^+2700j^+300k^,withr→in meters and tin seconds. The radar station’s xaxis points east, its yaxis north, and its zaxis vertically up. If the object is a 250 kg meteorological missile, what are (a) its linear momentum, (b) its direction of motion, and (c) the net force on it?

In purchasing food for a political rally, you erroneously order shucked medium-size Pacific oysters (which come 8 to 12 per U.S. pint) instead of shucked medium-size Atlantic oysters (which come 26 to 38 per U.S. pint). The filled oyster container shipped to you has the interior measure of1.0m×12cm×20cm,and a U.S. pint is equivalent to 0.4732 liter . By how many oysters is the order short of your anticipated count?

The description for a certain brand of house paint claims a coverage of 460ft2/gal. (a) Express this quantity in square meters per liter. (b) Express this quantity in an SI unit (see Appendices A and D). (c) What is the inverse of the original quantity, and (d) what is its physical significance?

An iceboat is at rest on a frictionless frozen lake when a sudden wind exerts a constant force of 200 N, toward the east, on the boat. Due to the angle of the sail, the wind causes the boat to slide in a straight line for a distance of 8.0 m in a direction 20 north of east. What is the kinetic energy of the iceboat at the end of that 8.0 m?

Question: Three digital clocks A, B, and C run at different rates and do not have simultaneous readings of zero. Figure 1-6 shows simultaneous readings on pairs of the clocks for four occasions. (At the earliest occasion, for example, B reads 25.0 s and C reads 92.0 s.) If two events are 600 s apart on clock A, how far apart are they on (a) clock B and (b) clock C? (c) When clock A reads 400 s, what does clock B read? (d) When clock C reads 15.0 s, what does clock B read? (Assume negative readings for prezero times.)
