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.

Which technique is best for manual in-line stabilization of a person floating faceup on the surface?
zmey [24]

Answer:

vise grip

Explanation:

Manual in-line stabilization (MILS) of the cervical spine is a type of airway management when dealing with  patients in traumatic condition ..it is a means that is performed by grasping the mastoid process of the patient, so as to prevent the movement of the cervical column during intubation of the trachea

MLS provides a means of stability to the cervical column for a patient in trauma. During this technique, a patient is restricted from moving his or her cervical collar. The vise grip can be used for a patient with neck injury. The technique is used to roll a patient to face up to prevent further injuries.

A hot air balloon is hovering in the air when it drops a 40 Kg food package to some lost golfers. If the package is dropped from
UNO [17]
We can calculate this with the law of conservation of energy. Here we have a food package with a mass m=40 kg, that is in the height h=500 m and all of it's energy is potential. When it is dropped, it's potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy. So we can say that its kinetic and potential energy are equal, because we are neglecting air resistance:

Ek=Ep, where Ek=(1/2)*m*v² and Ep=m*g*h, where m is the mass of the body, g=9.81 m/s² and h is the height of the body.

(1/2)*m*v²=m*g*h, masses cancel out and we get:

(1/2)*v²=g*h, and we multiply by 2 both sides of the equation

v²=2*g*h, and we take the square root to get v:

v=√(2*g*h)

v=99.04 m/s

So the package is moving with the speed of v= 99.04 m/s when it hits the ground.

What is capacitance?
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

A, the amount of charge stored per volt

Explanation:

Capacitance is defined below:

C = Q/V

Therefore capacitance is charge per volt which gets the unit farad.
