The speed of light (electromagnetic radiation) is equal to 299 792 458 m / s or 3x10^8 m/s in scientific notation.

So with this information, we could now look for the distance. Solution:

Take note that μs means microseconds.

Speed of light * microseconds travelled * actual amount of microseconds
(3x10^8 m/s) (45.0 μs) (1x10^-6 s/μs) = 13,500 m.

If your front lawn is 18.0 feet wide and 20.0 feet long, and each square foot of lawn accumulates 1050 new snow flakes every min

Ivanshal [37]

<span>First, we need to determine the entire area of your front line by multiplying its length times its width.
18.0*20.0 = 360.0 square feet
We can use the rate of accumulation of snow, combined with this figure, to determine how much snow accumulates on your lawn per minute.
360.0 sq ft * 1050 flakes/min/sq ft = 378,000 flakes/min
We can then use the mass of a snowflake to calculate total snow accumulation per minute.
378,000 flakes/min * 2.00 mg/flake = 756,000 mg/min
Finally, we can use this number to determine accumulation per hour.
756,000 mg/min * 60 min/hr =
45,360,000 mg/hr</span>

Two long parallel wires carry currents of 20 a and 5.0 a in opposite directions. the wires are separated by 0.20 m. what is the

Alex777 [14]

The two wires carry current in opposite directions: this means that if we see them from above, the magnetic field generated by one wire is clock-wise, while the magnetic field generated by the other wire is anti-clockwise. Therefore, if we take a point midway between the two wires, the resultant magnetic field at this point is just the sum of the two magnetic fields, since they act in the same direction.

Therefore, we should calculate the magnetic field generated by each wire and then calculate their sum. We are located at a distance r=0.10 m from each wire.

The magnetic field generated by wire 1 is:
$B_1= \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}= \frac{(4 \pi \cdot 10^{-7} NA^{-2} )(20 A)}{2 \pi (0.10 m)}= 4 \cdot 10^{-5}T$

The magnetic field generated by wire 2 is:
$B_2= \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}= \frac{(4 \pi \cdot 10^{-7} NA^{-2} )(5.0 A)}{2 \pi (0.10 m)}= 1 \cdot 10^{-5}T$

And so, the resultant magnetic field at the point midway between the two wires is
$B=B_1 + B_2 = 4 \cdot 10^{-5} T + 1 \cdot 10^{-5}T=5 \cdot 10^{-5} T$

By what order of magnitude is something that runs in nanoseconds faster than something that runs in milliseconds?

maksim [4K]

To solve this problem we will define the order of magnitude of both points, then we will obtain the radius and obtain the conclusion of the order of magnitude.

A nanosecond is one billionth of a second while and a millisecond is one millionth of a second

$\frac{\text{millisec}}{\text{nanosec}} = \frac{10^{-3}}{10^{-9}} = 10^6$

Therefore something that runs in nanoseconds is six times faster than something that runs in milliseconds
