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 average coefficient of linear expansion of copper is 1.7 10-5 (°c)−1. the statue of liberty is 93 m tall on a summer morning

sammy [17]

Let the rise in temperature be $5^0C$

The expansion in length due to change in temperature is given by the expression lαΔt , where l is the length, α is the coefficient of linear expansion, Δt is the change in temperature.

Here l = 93 m, α = $1.7*10^{-5}$ $^0C^{-1}$ , and Δt = $5^0C$

So expansion in length = 93* $1.7*10^{-5}$ *5 = 0.007905 m = $0.79*10^{-3}m$

So order of magnitude in change in length = -3

A net force of 60 N north acts on an object with a mass of 30 kg. Use Newton's second law of

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

F = ma. For us, this looks like

60 = 30a and

a = 2 m/s/s

If the force goes up to, say, 90, then

90 = 30a and

a = 3...if the force goes up, the acceleration also goes up.

If the mass goes up to say, 60, and the force stays the same, then

60 = 60a and

a = 1...if the mass goes up, the acceleration goes down.

It takes 5.0 seconds for a wave with a wavelength of 2.5 m to travel past your location. What’s the period of the wave. What is

Anna35 [415]

(a) Period of the wave
The period of a wave is the time needed for a complete cycle of the wave to pass through a certain point.
So, if an entire cycle of the wave passes through the given location in 5.0 seconds, this means that the period is equal to 5.0 s: T=5.0 s.

(b) Frequency of the wave
The frequency of a wave is defined as
$f= \frac{1}{T}$
since in our problem the period is $T=5.0 s$ , the frequency is
$f= \frac{1}{5.0 s}=0.2 Hz$

(c) Speed of the wave
The speed of a wave is given by the following relationship between frequency f and wavelength $\lambda$ :
$v=f \lambda = (0.2 Hz)(2.5 m)=0.5 m/s$

A muon has a rest mass energy of 105.7 MeV, and it decays into an electron and a massless particle. If all the lost mass is conv

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The electron’s velocity is 0.9999 c m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Rest mass energy of muon = 105.7 MeV

We know the rest mass of electron = 0.511 Mev

We need to calculate the value of γ

Using formula of energy

$K_{rel}=(\gamma-1)mc^2$

$\dfrac{K_{rel}}{mc^2}=\gamma-1$

Put the value into the formula

$\gamma=\dfrac{105.7}{0.511}+1$

$\gamma=208$

We need to calculate the electron’s velocity

Using formula of velocity

$\gamma=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{v}{c})^2}}$

$\gamma^2=\dfrac{1}{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$\gamma^2-\gamma^2\times\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}=1$

$v^2=\dfrac{1-\gamma^2}{-\gamma^2}\times c^2$

Put the value into the formula

$v^2=\dfrac{1-(208)^2}{-208^2}\times c^2$

$v=c\sqrt{\dfrac{1-(208)^2}{-208^2}}$

$v=0.9999 c\ m/s$

Hence, The electron’s velocity is 0.9999 c m/s.
