Two long parallel wires placed side-by-side on a horizontal table carry identical size currents in opposite directions. The wire

on your right carries current toward you, and the wire on your left carries current away from you. From your point of view, the magnetic field at the point exactly midway between the two wiresA) points away from you.B) is zero.C) points toward you.D) points down.E) points up.

Answer:

D) Points down

Explanation:

We can find the direction of the magnetic field produced by each of the wire by using the right hand rule:

- the thumb must correspond to the direction of the current in the wire

- the other fingers wrap around the thumb and gives the direction of the magnetic field lines

For the wire on the right, we have:

- thumb (current): towards you

- other fingers (magnetic field): at the left of the wire, they point down

For the wire on the left, we have:

- thumb (current): away from you

- other fingers (magnetic field): at the right of the wire, they point down

So, both magnetic fields point down at the point halfway between the two wires, so the net field is also pointing down.

The distance between two objects is increased by three times the oringinal distance. How will this change the force of attractio

tigry1 [53]

<span>The distance between two objects is increased by three times the oringinal distance. Since they were already separated by one time the original distance,
the additional three times the oringinal distance now puts them four times the original distance apart.

Whether we're talking about the gravitational forces of attraction or
the electrical forces of attraction, either one is inversely proportional
to the square of the distance between the objects.

So changing the distance to four times the original distance causes
the forces to become 1/4</span>² as strong as they were originally.

The forces become 1/16 of their original magnitude.<span>

Answer:

T = 188.5 s, correct is C

Explanation:

This problem must be worked on using conservation of angular momentum. We define the system as formed by the fan and the paper, as the system is isolated, the moment is conserved

initial instant. Before the crash

L₀ = r m v₀ + I₀ w₀

the angular speed of the fan is zero w₀ = 0

final instant. After the crash

L_f = I₀ w + m r v

L₀ = L_f

m r v₀ = I₀ w + m r v

angular and linear velocity are related

v = r w

w = v / r

m r v₀ = I₀ v / r + m r v

m r v₀ = (I₀ / r + mr) v

v = $\frac{m}{\frac{I_o}{r} +mr} \ r v_o$

let's calculate

v = $\frac{0.020}{\frac{1.4}{0.6 } + 0.020 \ 0.6 } \ 0.6 \ 4$

v = $\frac{0.020}{2.345} \ 2.4$

v = 0.02 m / s

To calculate the time of a complete revolution we can use the kinematics relations of uniform motion

v = x / T

T = x / v

the distance of a circle with radius r = 0.6 m

x = 2π r

we substitute

T = 2π r / v

let's calculate

T = 2π 0.6/0.02

T = 188.5 s

reduce

t = 188.5 s ( 1 min/60 s) = 3.13 min

correct is C

A 72-kg skydiver is falling from 10000 feet. At an instant during the fall, the skydiver

Answer:

Approximately $2.31\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ (assuming that the acceleration due to gravity is $g = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ .)

Explanation:

Assuming that $g = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ the weight on this 72-kg skydiver would be $W = m \cdot g = 72 \; \rm kg \times 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} = 706.32\; \rm N$ (points downwards.)

Air resistance is supposed to act in the opposite direction of the motion. Since this skydiver is moving downwards, the air resistance on the skydiver would point upwards.

Therefore, the net force on this skydiver should be the difference between the weight and the air resistance on the skydiver:

$\begin{aligned}F(\text{net force}) &= W - F(\text{air resistance})\\ &= 706.32\; \rm N - 540\; \rm N =166.32\; \rm N \end{aligned}$ .

Apply Newton's Second Law of motion to find the acceleration of this skydiver:

$\begin{aligned}a &= \frac{F(\text{net force})}{m} \\ &= \frac{166.32\; \rm N}{72\; \rm kg} = 2.31\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} \end{aligned}$ .
