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

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.

The Earth revolves around the Sun once a year at an average distance of 1.50×1011m. Find the orbital radius that corresponds to
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

9.4\cdot 10^{10} m

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Kepler's third law, which states that the ratio between the cube of the orbital radius and the square of the orbital period is constant for every object orbiting the Sun. So we can write

\frac{r_a^3}{T_a^2}=\frac{r_e^3}{T_e^2}

where

r_o is the distance of the new object from the sun (orbital radius)

T_o=180 d is the orbital period of the object

r_e = 1.50\cdot 10^{11} m is the orbital radius of the Earth

T_e=365 d is the orbital period the Earth

Solving the equation for r_o, we find

r_o = \sqrt[3]{\frac{r_e^3}{T_e^2}T_o^2} =\sqrt[3]{\frac{(1.50\cdot 10^{11}m)^3}{(365 d)^2}(180 d)^2}=9.4\cdot 10^{10} m

A ray of white light moves through the air and strikes the surface of water in a beaker. The index of refraction of the water is
Naily [24]

Answer:

except ii and iii

Explanation:

The angle of reflection is the angle to the normal the white rays strikes the water surface and it is the incidence angle. Since the white light is moving from less dense medium to a denser medium or a medium with a higher refractive index; the angle of refraction will be less than 30 degrees. Total internal reflection cannot occur because the white light is traveling from a less dense medium to a denser medium.

An object with a mass of m = 3.85 kg is suspended at rest between the ceiling and the floor by two thin vertical ropes.
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

The tension in the upper rope is determined as 50.53 N.

<h3>Tension in the upper rope</h3>

The tension in the upper rope is calculated as follows;

T(u) = T(d)+ mg

where;

  • T(u) is tension in upper rope
  • T(d) is tension in lower rope

T(u) = 12.8 N + 3.85(9.8)

T(u) = 50.53 N

Thus, the tension in the upper rope is determined as 50.53 N.
