There are three long parallel wires arranged so that, in cross-section, they occupy the points of an equilateral triangle. Is th

ere any way to arrange the currents so that all three wires attract each other?

Answer:

Yes, there is such a way.

Explanation:

If currents flow in the same direction in two or more long parallel wires, there will be an attractive force between the wires. If the current flows in different directions, there will be a repulsive force between the wires. In this case, these three parallel wires, can be be made to carry current in the same direction, creating an attractive force between all three wires.

Note that it is not possible to have at the least one of them carry current in the opposite direction and still have an attractive current between them.

Lena [83]

Answer: [tex]12.415 rad.s^{-1}[/tex]

Explanation: Angular velocity is the rate of change in angular displacement.

We know that:

Angular velocity,      \omega= \frac{\Delta \theta}{t}....................(1)

where:

  • t= time
  • \Delta \theta = angular displacement in radians

<u>Given that:</u>

  • t = 4.10 s
  • Δθ = 50.9 radian

Putting the respective values in eq. (1)

\omega = \frac{50.9}{4.10}

\omega = 12.415 rad.s^{-1}

A tennis player receives a shot with the ball (0.0600 kg) traveling horizontally at 50.4 m/s and returns the shot with the ball
lora16 [44]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the ball, m = 0.06 kg

Initial speed of the ball, u = 50.4 m/s

Final speed of the ball, v = -37 m/s (As it returns)  

(a) Let J is the magnitude of the impulse delivered to the ball by the racket. It can be calculated as the change in momentum as :

J=m(v-u)

J=0.06\times (-37-(50.4))  

J = -5.24 kg-m/s

(b) Let W is the work done by the racket on the ball. It can be calculated as the change in kinetic energy of the object.

W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)

W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.06\times ((-37)^2-(50.4)^2)

W = -35.1348 Joules

Hence, this is the required solution.
