Which equation correctly represents the gravitational potential energy of a system?

Two wires carrying equal currents exert a force ???????? on each other. (a) The current in each wire is doubled, while the dista

sweet-ann [11.9K]

a) The magnetic field created by a current-carrying wire is proportional to the current:

B ∝ I, B = magnetic field strength, I = current

The magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire immersed in a magnetic field is proportional to the current and the magnetic field strength:

F ∝ IB, F = magnetic force, I = current, B = magnetic field strength

Let's focus on wire 1.

Since wire 2's current is doubled, wire 2 produces a magnetic field twice as strong as before.

Wire 1's current is also doubled, therefore we now have a wire having <em>twice as strong a current</em> immersed in <em>twice as strong a magnetic field</em>. The magnetic force on wire 1 (and you can make a similar argument for wire 2) will be four times as strong as before.

b) The general formula for the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire immersed in a magnetic field is given by:

F = IL×B

F = magnetic force vector

I = current

L = vector having a magnitude equal to wire length and representing direction of current

B = magnetic field vector

Note we are taking a cross product of the IL and B vectors, not the product of two scalar quantities.

The very nature of the cross product means that if L and B are parallel to each other, F = 0N

A 0.86 kg rock is projected from the edge of the top of a building with an initial velocity of 8.65 m/s at an angle 46◦ above th

Georgia [21]

Answer:

Height of the building = 11.4 m

Explanation:

As we know that the stone is projected at an angle 46 degree with speed 8.65 m/s

so the two components of the speed is given as

$v_x = 8.65 cos46$

$v_x = 6 m/s$

vertical component of the speed is given as

$v_y = 8.65 sin46$

$v_y = 6.22 m/s$

now we know that the ball strike at horizontal distance of 13.7 m

so we will have

$x = v_x t$

$13.7 = 6 t$

$t = 2.28 s$

now we know that in vertical direction ball will move under uniform gravity so we can use kinematics

$y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$y = 6.22(2.28) - \frac{1}{2}(9.81)(2.28^2)$

$y = -11.4 m$

Height of the building = 11.4 m

If you walk across a nylon rug and then touch a large metal object such as a doorknob you may get a spark and a shock. Why does

k0ka [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

You are more likely to be shocked during dry days than humid days because during humid days more water is in the air, and water being a good conductor helps the air absorb some of those charges from you, while during dry days there is less water in the air and hence the charges build up since they are not absorbed.

You are less likely to be shocked when you touch a small metal object because smaller metal objects like a paper clip have less space to accept net charge.
