Two straight wires are in parallel and carry electrical currents in opposite directions with the same magnitude of 2.0A. The dis

tance between the two wires 5.0 m m. If one of the wires is infinitely long and the other the wire is 0.3 m long, what is the magnitude of the force between the two wires?

Answer:

Explanation:

Two straight wires

Have current in opposite direction

i1=i2=i=2Amps

Distance between two wires

r=5mm=0.005m

Length of one wire is ∞

Length of second wire is 0.3m

Force between the wire,

The force between two parallel currents I1 and I2, separated by a distance r, has a magnitude per unit length given by

F/l = μoi1i2/2πr

F/l=μoi²/2πr

μo=4π×10^-7 H/m

The force is attractive if the currents are in the same direction, repulsive if they are in opposite directions.

F/l = μoi1i2/2πr

F/0.3=4π×10^-7×2²/2π•0.005

F/0.3=1.6×10^-4

Cross multiply

F=1.6×10^-4×0.3

F=4.8×10^-5N

A sprinter must average 24.0 mi/h to win a 100-m dash in 9.30 s. What is his wavelength at this speed if his mass is 84.5 kg?

crimeas [40]

Answer:

Wavelength λ = 7.31 × 10^-37 m

Explanation:

From De Broglie's equation;

λ = h/mv

Where;

λ = wavelength in meters

h = plank's constant = 6.626×10^-34 m^2 kg/s

m = mass in kg

v = velocity in m/s

Given;

v = 24 mi/h

Converting to m/s

v = 24mi/h × 0.447 m/s ×1/(mi/h)

v = 10.73m/s

m = 84.5kg

Substituting the values into the equation;

λ = (6.626×10^-34 m^2 kg/s)/(84.5kg × 10.73m/s)

λ = 7.31 × 10^-37 m

A boat is able to move through still water at 20 m/s. It makes a round trip to a town 3.0 km upstream. If the river flows at 5m/

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Option e) 320 s

Explanation:

Here, distance = 3.0 km = 3000 m

The velocity of boat when it is going upstream;

Upstream velocity = velocity of boat in still water - velocity of river flow

So, Upstream velocity $=20m/s-5m/s=15m/s$

So,Time to go upstream

$(t_{1}) =\frac{Distance}{Velocity}=\frac{3000m}{15m/s} =200 s$

The velocity of boat when it is going downstream;

Downstream velocity = velocity of boat in still water + velocity of river flow

So, Downstream velocity $=20m/s+5m/s=25m/s$

So,Time to go downstream

$(t_{2}) =\frac{Distance}{Velocity}=\frac{3000m}{25m/s} =120 s$

So, total time (t) = $t_{1}+t_{2}=200s+120 s=320s$

Option E is the correct answer.

The speed of the center of the earth as it orbits the sun is 107257 kmph and the absolute angular velocity of the earth about it

Sindrei [870]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Speed , $v_0$ =107257 kmph

Angular velocity, $\omega=7.292\times 10^{-5} rad/s$

Radius of earth,r= $6371 km=6371000 m$

1 km=1000 m

Linear velocity, $v=r\omega=6371000\times 7.292\times 10^{-5}=464.57 m/s$

Linear velocity, $v=464.57\times \frac{18}{5}=1672.46 km/h$

Velocity at point A, $v_A=-vi+v_0 j=-1672.46 i+107257j kmph$

Velocity at point B, $v_B=v_0j-vj=107257j-1672.46j=105584.54j kmph$

Velocity at point C, $v_C=v_0j+vi=1672.46 i+107257j kmph$

Velocity at point D, $v_D=v_0j+vj=107257j+1672.46j=108929.46jkmph$

A typical jet airliner has a cruise airspeed of 900 km/h , which is its speed relative to the air through which it is flying. If

Luba_88 [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the jet airplane with respect to air, $v_{PA} = 900\ km/h$

If the wind at the airliner’s cruise altitude is blowing at 100 km/h from west to east, $v_{AG}= 100\ km/h$

(A) Let $v_{PG}$ is the speed of the airliner relative to the ground if the airplane is flying from west to east,

$v_{PG}=900-100=800\ km/h$

(B) Let $v'_{PG}$ is the speed of the airliner relative to the ground if the airplane is flying from east to west,

$v'_{PG}=900+100=1000\ km/h$

Hence, this is the required solution.
