Two wires carry current I1 = 73 A and I2 = 31 A in the opposite directions parallel to the x-axis at y1 = 3 cm and y2 = 13 cm. W

here on the y-axis (in cm) is the magnetic field zero?

Answer:

The position on the y-axis where the magnetic field is zero is at y = 10 cm

Explanation:

The magnetic field B due to a long straight wire carrying a current, i at a distance R from the wire is given by

B = μ₀i/2πR

Now, let y be the point where the magnetic fields of both wires are equal.

So, the magnetic field due to wire 1 carrying current i₁ = 73 A is

B₁ = μ₀i₁/2π(y - 3) and

the magnetic field due to wire 2 carrying current i₂ = 31 A is

B₂ = μ₀i₂/2π(13 - y)

At the point where the magnetic field is zero, B₁ = B₂. So,

μ₀i₁/2π(y - 3) = μ₀i₂/2π(13 - y)

cancelling out μ₀ and 2π, we have

i₁/(x - y) = i₂/(13 - y)

cross-multiplying, we have

(13 - y)i₁ = (y - 3)i₂

Substituting the values of i₁ and i₂, we have

(13 - y)73 = (y - 3)31

949 - 73y = 31y - 93

Collecting like terms, we have

949 + 93 = 73y + 31y

1042 = 104y

dividing through by 104, we have

y = 1042/104

y = 10.02 cm

y ≅ 10 cm

So, the position on the y-axis where the magnetic field is zero is at y = 10 cm

Consider the following mass distribution where the x- and y-coordinates are given in meters: 5.0 kg at (0.0, 0.0) m, 2.9 kg at (

Sauron [17]

Answer:

x = -1.20 m

y = -1.12 m

Explanation:

as we know that four masses and their position is given as

5.0 kg (0, 0)

2.9 kg (0, 3.2)

4 kg (2.5, 0)

8.3 kg (x, y)

As we know that the formula of center of gravity is given as

$x_{cm} = \frac{m_1 x_1 + m_2x_2 + m_3x_3 + m_4x_4}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + m_4}$

$0 = \frac{5(0) + 2.9(0) + 4(2.5) + 8.3 x}{5 + 2.9 + 4 + 8.3}$

$10 + 8.3 x = 0$

$x = -1.20 m$

Similarly for y direction we have

$y_{cm} = \frac{m_1 y_1 + m_2y_2 + m_3y_3 + m_4y_4}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + m_4}$

$0 = \frac{5(0) + 2.9(3.2) + 4(0) + 8.3 y}{5 + 2.9 + 4 + 8.3}$

$9.28 + 8.3 x = 0$

$x = -1.12 m$

The critical angle for a substance is measured at 53.7 degrees. light enters from air at 45.0 degrees. at what angle it will con

faust18 [17]

When light travels from a medium with greater refractive index $n_1$ to a medium with smaller refractive index $n_2$ , there exists an angle (called critical angle) above which the light is totally reflected, and the value of this angle is given by
$\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )$
In this problem, we know that the critical angle is $\theta_c = 53.7^{\circ}$ , so we can find the ratio between the refractive indices of the two mediums:
$\frac{n_2}{n_1} = \sin \theta_c = \sin 53.7^{\circ} =0.81$
and since the second medium is air (n=1.00), the refractive index of the first medium is
$n_1= \frac{n_2}{0.81}= \frac{1.00}{0.81}=1.23$

In the second part of the problem, we have light entering from air ( $n_i = 1.00$ ) at angle of incidence of $\theta_i = 45.0 ^{\circ}$ , into the second medium with $n_r = 1.23$ . By using Snell's law, we can find the angle of refraction of the light inside the medium:
$n_i \sin \theta_i = n_r \sin \theta_r$
$\sin \theta_r = \frac{n_i}{n_r} \sin \theta_i = \frac{1.00}{1.23} \sin 45^{\circ}=0.574$
$\theta_r = \arcsin(0.574)=35.1^{\circ}$

A 70.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 2.00 m/s2. If the sprinter accelerates at that rate for 29 m, and then

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

t = 12.82s

Explanation:

F = m×a

= (70)×(2)

= 140 N

during the acceleration, the sprinter cover d = 29 m with time:

d = 1/2×at

29 = 1/2×(2)×t^2

t^2 = 29s

t = 5.39s

and attains the velocity of:

v = a×t

= 2×5.39

= 10.77 m/s

Then,to cover the last x = 80 m with a speed of 10.77 m/s in time:

t = x/v

= 80/10.77

= 7.43s

Therefore, it will take the sprinter 7.43 + 5.39 = 12.82s
