1) Magnitude of the force:

The magnetic field generated by a current-carrying wire is
B= \frac{\mu_0I}{2 \pi r}
where
\mu_0 is the vacuum permeability
I is the current in the wire
r is the distance at which the field is calculated

Using I=135 A, the current flowing in each wire, we can calculate the magnetic field generated by each wire at distance 
r=40.0 cm=0.40 m, 
which is the distance at which the other wire is located:
B= \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}= \frac{(4 \pi \cdot 10^{-7} N/A^2)(135 A) }{2 \pi (0.40 m)}=6.75 \cdot 10^{-5} T

Then we can calculate the magnitude of the force exerted on each wire by this magnetic field, which is given by:
F=ILB=(135 A)(222 m)(6.75 \cdot 10^{-5}T)=2.03 N

2) direction of the force: 
The two currents run in opposite direction: this means that the force between them is repulsive. This can be determined by using the right hand rule. Let's apply it to one of the two wires, assuming they are in the horizontal plane, and assuming that the current in the wire on the right is directed northwards:
- the magnetic field produced by the wire on the left at the location of the wire on the right is directed upward (the thumb of the right hand is directed as the current, due south, and the other fingers give the direction of the magnetic field, upward)

Now let's apply the right-hand rule to the wire on the right:
- index finger: current --> northward
- middle finger: magnetic field --> upward
- thumb: force --> due east --> so the force is repulsive

A similar procedure can be used on the wire on the left, finding that the force exerted on it is directed westwards, so the force between the two wires is repulsive.

An object is pulled northward with a force of 10 n and southward with a force of 15 n. the magnitude of the net force on the obj
Anastaziya [24]

The correct option is (b) 5n

As a result, there is a net downward force of 5N operating on the object.

The resultant force is the force that results from adding the vector sums of all the forces operating on an item. The combined action of all the acting forces on the object produces the same effect as the resulting force. When determining the resulting force, the direction of the forces must be taken into account.

Given;

The northward force is Fn = 10N

The southward force is Fs = 15N

Required;

The net force on the mobile phone is Fnet = ?N

The object's weight exerts downward pressure, and upward resistance exerts upward pressure. The vector sum of these two forces will be the net force.

Fnet = Fs - Fn (Considering the direction downward as positive)

Fnet= 15N - 10N

Fnet = 5N

As a result, there is a net downward force of 5 N operating on the object.

a package was determined to have a mass of 5.7kilograms. what's the force of gravity acting on the package on earth?(a)37.93N(b)
Nana76 [90]
The force of gravity on earth is 9.807 m/s^2 (or meters per second per second).
To determine the force applied, multiply the mass of the package (5.7 kg) by the force of gravity on Earth (9.807 m/s^2).
5.7 x 9.807 = 55.86 N The answer is D.

Note: the actual force is 55.89 Newtons.

A student's calculation for the work done on an object is shown.
MissTica

The statement that describes the error in the work is that the distance must be converted to meters (m).

<h3>FORMULA FOR WORK:</h3>

Work can be calculated by using the following formula:

W = F × d

Where;

  • W = work done
  • F = force (N)
  • d = distance (m)

According to this question, the force is given as 140N and the distance is given as 30cm. The force is calculated as follows:

F = 140N × 30cm = 4200J

This calculation is erroneous because the unit of distance should be converted from cm to meters.
