No, it's not. (For some reason I thought you used 60 degrees... sorry about that!) Hint: the line A-B is parallel to the Y-axis.Josh123 said:I used 30 degrees (angle between B and A-B)... Is that correct?
Note that 30 degrees is the angle that the plane of the loop makes with the B-field. It is not the angle between the B-field and the line segment A-B!Josh123 said:I used 30 degrees (angle between B and A-B)... Is that correct?
Force is a push or pull on an object that causes it to change its velocity or direction of motion.
Force is measured in units called Newtons (N) using a device called a spring scale or a force meter. One Newton is equal to the amount of force needed to accelerate a 1 kilogram object at a rate of 1 meter per second squared.
There are four main types of forces: gravitational, electromagnetic, strong nuclear, and weak nuclear. Other common types of forces include friction, tension, and normal force.
Newton's Laws of Motion are three fundamental laws that describe how objects move. The first law states that an object will remain at rest or in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. The second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force applied and inversely proportional to its mass. The third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Force causes objects to accelerate, decelerate, or change direction. The greater the force applied, the greater the change in motion. Additionally, the direction of the force determines the direction of the object's motion.
