Three long, straight wires are carrying currents that have the same magnitude. In C the current is opposite to that in A and B.

The wires are equally spaced. Each wire experiences a net force due to the other two wires.
Which wire experiences a net force that has the greatest magnitude?

Answer:

(b) B

Explanation:

The direction of force on a current carrying wire in a magnetic field can be found using the right hand rule, which states that-"stretch the thumb in the direction of the current, and point the fingers in the direction of magnetic field. The direction of palm will then give the direction of force on the wire

On wire B the forces due to A and C act in the same direction and so strengthen each other. they get added up because the forces act in the same direction.

on wires A and C the forces (due to B and C and A and B

respectively) act in opposite directions and therefore tend to cancel out.

A baseball with a mass of 0.15 kilograms collides with a bat at a speed of 40 meters/second. The duration of the collision is 8.
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer: 1687.5 N

Explanation:

From the second law of motion given by Newton, Force is the rate change of momentum.

F = \frac{dp}{dt}=\frac {m dv}{dt} = \frac{m (v_f-v_i)}{dt}

Mass of the baseball, m = 0.15 kg

Initial velocity, v_i=-40 m/s (negative because direction of initial velocity is opposite to the final velocity)

Final velocity, v_f=50 m/s

The duration of collision, dt= 8.0 \times 10^{-3} s

Force, F = \frac{0.15 kg (50-(-40) m/s)}{8.0 \times 10^{-3} s}=1687.5 N

Hence, the value of force is 1687.5 N.

a motorcycle starts from rest covers 200 meter distance in 6 second calculate final velocity and acceleration​
Ivanshal [37]

Explanation:

s = ut + 1/2 a t^2

200 = 0 * 6 + 1/2 * a * (6)^2

200 = 1/2 * a * 36

200 = 18 a

a = 200/18

a= 11.1m/sec^2

v = u + at

v = 0 + 11.1 * 6

v = 66.6m/s

hope it helps you

You pull a block of mass m across across a frictionless table with a constant force. you also pull with an equal constant force
KiRa [710]
For any mass m:

a = F/m
v = √2*F/m*s = √2F/sm = k/√m
Momentum = mv = k√m
Energy = 1/ mv² = 1/2 m.k²/m = 1/2k²

SO
Both will have same energy
The larger mass will have greater momentum
