The wires in a household lamp cord are typically 3.5 mm apart center to center and carry equal currents in opposite directions.

If the cord carries direct current to a 100-W light bulb connected across a 120-V potential difference, what force per meter does each wire of the cord exert on the other? Is the force attractive or repulsive? Is this force large enough so it should be considered in the design of the lamp cord? (Model the lamp cord as a very long straight wire.)

Explanation:

It is given that,

Distance between wires, d = 3.5 mm = 0.0035 m

Power of light bulb, P = 100 W

Potential difference, V = 120 V

(a) We need to find the force per unit length each wire of the cord exert on the other. It is given by :

\dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{\mu_o I^2}{2\pi r}

Power, P = V × I

I=\dfrac{P}{V}=\dfrac{100}{120}=0.83\ A

This gives, \dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times (0.83)^2}{2\pi \times 0.0035}

\dfrac{F}{l}=0.0000393\ N/m

\dfrac{F}{l}=3.93\times 10^{-5}\ N/m

(b) Since, the two wires carry equal currents in opposite directions. So, teh force is repulsive.

(c) This force is negligible.

Hence, this is the required solution.

a rectangular block is having 5cm,5cm and 8cm with density of 7.).5g/cm^2. what is the mass of the block​
Art [367]

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of the rectangular block= V = l×b×h

=5cm×5cm×8cm= 200cm³

Density of block= d= 7.5 g/cm³

Mass of the block= m= d× V

= 1500 grams=1.5 kg

How does The centripetal fotce change if the car has less Mass?​
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The centripetal force acting on the car is proportional to the mass of the car.

Explanation:

Let,

The mass of the car be 'm'

The velocity of the car moving in the curved path be 'v'

The radius of the curved path be 'r'

According to physics, a body moving ion circular path experience a force directed along the radius of the path. This force is called centripetal force.

The formula for centripetal force is,

                                   <em>F = mv²/r</em>

Where,

                                      a = v²/r

So, if the mass of the car changes, the centripetal force also changes proportionally according to the above equation.

Explain the differences between a physical and chemical change, and give examples of each.
mrs_skeptik [129]
Chemical change:  a reaction/event where the chemicals/elements present before the change are NOT the same molecules present after the change.
For example, combustion reactions such as the burning of wood or rubbing alcohol are examples of chemical change. The reactants before the combustion of rubbing alcohol are CH3O (rubbing alcohol) and O2 oxygen (oxygen). The molecules present after the combustion reaction are CO2 (carbon dioxide) and H2O (water vapor).

Physical Change: a change in structure or state of a substance but, after the change the material is the same material that we started with. One example would be breaking a glass bottle by dropping it. The glass is now in smaller pieces than when we started, but the glass molecules are still glass molecules.
