Answer:
The discovery that one current-carrying wire exerts a force on a second current-carrying wire was made by <u>Ampere</u>
Explanation:
Two current carrying wires exert force on each other. This was discovered by Ampere. It is also known as Ampere's force law.
A current carrying wire produces magnetic field around it. Another current carrying wire kept nearby experiences magnetic force by the first one.
The force is given by:
where I₁ and I₂ are the currents in the two wires and r is the distance between them.
The force may be attractive or repulsive depending upon the direction of current flowing in the two wires.

Answer:
(9.64 +- 0.86) m/s^2
Explanation:
The generic motion equation for constant acceleration is
Where
X0: initial position
v0: initial speed
a: acceleration
t: time
If the object has an initial speed of zero, and the frame of reference is set conveniently so that the object initial position is zero, the equation simplifies to:
And the acceleration can be obtained as:
Where x is the distance fallen and a = g.
So, with the data x = (100.0 +- 0.03) mm and t = (144 +- 3) ms we can calculate
For the uncertainty we have to calculate the relative uncertainties first
For the distance (100 * 0.3)/100 = 0.3%
For the time (100 * 3)/144 = 2.08%
For multiplications or divisions the relative uncertainties are added
0.3% + 2.08% + 2.08% = 4.46%
We convert this into absolute uncertainty:
(9.64e-3 * 4.46)/100 = 0.00043 mm/(ms^2)
Finally, this is multiplied by a constant scalar, so:
2 * 0.00043 mm/(ms^2) = 0.00086 mm/(ms^2)
We convert the units
0.86 m/(s^2)
And the measurement is (9.64 +- 0.86) m/s^2
A better method is putting the ball in a ramp instead of a free fall, that way the fall is longer and the effect of time measuring uncertainty is reduced.
