Two long wires hang vertically. Wire 1 carries an upward current of 1.50 A . Wire 2,20.0cm to the right of wire 1, carries a dow

Inessa [10]

The magnitude of the current in wire 3 is 2.4 A and in a direction pointing in the downward direction.

The force per unit length between two parallel thin current-carrying $I_1$ and $I_2$ wires at distance ' r ' is given by $f=\frac{u_0I_1I_2}{2\pi r}$ ....(1) .

If the current is flowing in both wires in the same direction, and the force between them will be the attractive force and if the current is flowing in opposite direction in wires then the force between them will be the repulsive force.

A schematic of the information provided in the question can be seen in the image attached below.

From the image, force on wire 2 due to wire 1 = force on wire 2 due to wire 3

$F_2_1=F_2_3$

Using equation (1) , we get

$\frac{u_0I_2I_1}{0.2} =\frac{u_0I_2I_3}{0.32} \\\\\frac{I_1}{0.2} =\frac{I_3}{0.32} \\\\\frac{1.50}{0.2} =\frac{I_3}{0.32} \\\\0.48=0.2I_3\\\\I_3=2.4A$

I₃ = 2.4 A and the current is pointing in the downward direction

Please help!!! A river has a constant current of 3 km per hour. If a motorboat, capable of maintaining a constant speed of 20km

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Construct a vector diagram. It will be a right-angled triangle. One vector (the hypotenuse) represents the heading of the boat, one represents the current and one represents the resultant speed of the boat, which I'll call x. Their magnitudes are 20, 3 and x. Let the required angle = theta. We have:

theta = arcsin(3/20) = approx. 8.63° 

The boat should head against the current in a direction approx. 8.63° to the line connecting the dock with the point opposite, or approx. 81.37° to the shore line. 

x = sqrt(20^2 - 3^2) 
= sqrt(400 - 9) 
= sqrt 391 

The boat's crossing time = 
0.5 km/(sqrt 391 km/hr) 
= (0.5/sqrt 391) hr 
= approx. 0.025 hr 
= approx. 91 seconds

Answer:

Then the difference of weight between the two cars are:

Δw = 14210 - 5292 = 8918 N

Explanation:

An object's weigh due to the gravitational attraction force of the earth is:

w = mg

Where: m is the object's mass

g is the gravitational acceleration in the surface earth

g = 9.8 m/s2

The the ultralight car's weight is:

$w_{uc} = (540)(9.8)$

$w_{uc} = 5292 N$

And the Honda Accord's weight is:

$w_{HA} = (1450)(9.8)$

$w_{HA} = 14210 N$

Then the difference of weight between the two cars are:

Δw = 14210 - 5292 = 8918 N

A gas exerts less pressure when it has a

Vika [28.1K]

The molecules are continually colliding with each other and with the walls of the container. When a molecule collides with the wall, they exert small force on the wall The pressure exerted by the gas is due to the sum of all these collision forces.The more particles that hit the walls, the higher the pressure.
