Why are bathroom tiles usually rough

1 answer:

8 0

-- Bathroom tiles are usually cool, so water condenses on them
when you take a hot bath or shower in the room.

-- The natural result is that a smooth tile would become slippery,
exactly when you're walking around with wet feet and nothing on them ...
a dangerous situation.

-- In order to circumvent this safety hazard, the tiles in the bathroom
should be rough, especially on the floor.

Two long, straight wires are separated by a distance of 9.15 cm . One wire carries a current of 2.79 A , the other carries a cur

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The force is the same

Explanation:

The force per meter exerted between two wires carrying a current is given by the formula

$\frac{F}{L}=\frac{\mu_0 I_1 I_2}{2\pi r}$

where

$\mu_0$ is the vacuum permeability

$I_1$ is the current in the 1st wire

$I_2$ is the current in the 2nd wire

r is the separation between the wires

In this problem

$I_1=2.79 A\\I_2=4.36 A\\r = 9.15 cm = 0.0915 m$

Substituting, we find the force per unit length on the two wires:

$\frac{F}{L}=\frac{(4\pi \cdot 10^{-7})(2.79)(4.36)}{2\pi (0.0915)}=2.66\cdot 10^{-5}N$

However, the formula is the same for the two wires: this means that the force per meter exerted on the two wires is the same.

The same conclusion comes out from Newton's third law of motion, which states that when an object A exerts a force on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A (action-reaction). If we apply the law to this situation, we see that the force exerted by wire 1 on wire 2 is the same as the force exerted by wire 2 on wire 1 (however the direction is opposite).

1. Two-point charges, QA = +8 μC and QB = -5 μC, are separated by a distance r = 10 cm. What is the magnitude and direction of t

densk [106]

Answer:

F = 36 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge, q₁ = +8 μC

Charge, q₂ = -5 μC

The distance between the charges, r = 10 cm = 0.1 m

We need to find the magnitude of the electrostatic force. The formula for the electrostatic force is given by :

$F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\\F=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times8\times 10^{-6}\times 5\times 10^{-6}}{(0.1)^2}\\F=36\ N$

So, the magnitude of the electrostatic force is 36 N.
