B represents the direction of the magnetic field around the wire

Explanation:

A wire carrying an electric current always produces a magnetic field around itself. The lines of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wires are concentric circles around the wire. The magnitude of the field is given by the formula:

$B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}$

where

$\mu_0$ is the vacuum permeability

I is the current in the wire

r is the distance from the wire

The direction of the field lines is given by the so-called right hand rule, shown in the figure. Basically, the thumb of the right hand is placed in the direction of the electric current, while the other fingers are "wrapped" around the thumb: the direction of the other fingers give the direction of the magnetic field lines.

A 21.6−g sample of an alloy at 93.00°C is placed into 50.0 g of water at 22.00°C in an insulated coffee-cup calorimeter with a h

Answer : The specific heat capacity of the alloy $1.422J/g^oC$

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

$q_1=-q_2$

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)$

where,

$C_1$ = specific heat of alloy = ?

$C_2$ = specific heat of water = $4.18J/g^oC$

$m_1$ = mass of alloy = 21.6 g

$m_2$ = mass of water = 50.0 g

$T_f$ = final temperature of system = $31.10^oC$

$T_1$ = initial temperature of alloy = $93.00^oC$

$T_2$ = initial temperature of water = $22.00^oC$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

$21.6g\times c_1\times (31.10-93.00)^oC=-50.0g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (31.10-22.00)^oC$

$c_1=1.422J/g^oC$

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of the alloy $1.422J/g^oC$

Answer:

Velocity and speed both are continuously increasing.

Acceleration is constant.

Explanation:

Speed is defined as length of path covered by a body per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity that consist of magnitude only and not direction.

Velocity is defined as the displacement per unit times. Displacement is the shortest distance between the two points. It is a vector quantity and hence has a direction in the direction of displacement along with its own magnitude.

Both velocity and speed have same unit of measure which is meter per second in S.I. During free fall in the absence of any air resistance the velocity and speed both will be having a vertical downward direction with continuously increasing magnitude. Tough we are not concerned about the direction when discussing about speed but here both are equal since the motion is linear.

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity of a body which is a vector quantity. For speed we are concerned about instantaneous acceleration since for a short period of time it may have a specific direction.

During free fall the acceleration is of a body is equal to the acceleration due to gravity and constant when the height of fall is much lesser than the radius of the earth.
