Velocity is the rate of change in distance over change in time, this can be written as:

v = Δd / Δt

While acceleration is the rate of change in velocity over change in time, this is written as:

a = Δv / Δt

<span>Both quantities are vector quantities because negative values means that the acceleration or velocity is acting on the opposite direction.</span>

Two power lines run parallel for a distance of 220 m and are separated by a distance of 40.0 cm. If the current in each of the t

daser333 [38]

Answer:

The magnitude of force is 1.86 N and the direction of force is towards the other wire.

Explanation:

Given:

Current flowing through each power line, I = 130 A

Distance between the two power lines, d = 40 cm = 0.4 m

Length of power lines, L = 220 m

The force exerted by the power lines on each other is given by the relation:

$F = \frac{\mu_{0}LII }{2\pi d}$

Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.

$F = \frac{4\pi\times10^{-7}\times220\times130\times130 }{2\pi\times0.4}$

F = 1.86 N

Since the direction of current flowing through the power lines are opposite to each other, so the force is attractive in nature. Hence, the direction of force experienced by the power lines on each other is towards the each other.

Two 1.0 kg masses are 4.0 m apart on a frictionless table. Each has 1.0μC of charge. Part A What is the magnitude of the electri

9966 [12]

Force between two charges is given by

$F =\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

$F =\frac{9*10^9* 1* 10^{-6}* 1 * 10^{-6}}{4^2}$

$F = 5.625 * 10^{-4} N$

Now in order to find the acceleration of each mass

we can use

F = ma

$5.625 * 10^{-4} = 1 * a$

$a= 5.625 * 10^{-4} m/s^2$

A complete series circuit consists of a 12.0 V battery, a 4.70 O resistor, and a switch. The internal resistance of the battery

RoseWind [281]

With the switch open, there's no current in the circuit, and therefore
no voltage drop across any of the dissipative elements (the resistor
or the battery's internal impedance). So the entire battery voltage
appears across the switch, and the voltmeter reads 12.0V .
