Answer:

Explanation:

A, yes

b,

The force(per unit length) on wire 1 by 2 is to the left and

= μo*I1*I2/2πr

= 2*10^-7 * 1.2 * 4.2/0.20

= 5.04*10^-6N/m

From third law we have the force on wire2 by wire 1 is 5.04*10^-6N/m and to the right

So the magnitude of the force on each wire by wire 3 must be 4.2*10^-6N/m

Since the current in wire 2 is > wire 1 then wire 3 must be closer to wire 1 than 2

and wire 3 must be to the left of wire 1

Let x be the distance from wire 3 to wire 1 so x + 0.20 = distance from wire 3 to wire 2

Now μo*I1*I3/2πx = μo*I3*I2/2π(x + 0.20)

so solving for x we get

I1/x = I2/(x+0.20)

or x +0.20 = 4x

so x = 0.20/3 = 0.0667m

Now μo*I1*I3/2πx = 4.2*10^-6

so I3 = 4.2x10^-6 * 0.0667/(2.0x10^-7 * 1.2) = 1.167 A and its direction is down

A bicycile traves with an average velocty 15km/h north for 20min what is his displasment​
Mila [183]

Answer:

5000 m equivalent to 5 Km

Explanation:

Average velocity =\frac{Displacement}{Time}

so, Displacement =Average velocity × time

We should convert Km/h to m/s so Km/h ⇒ \frac{1000}{60*60} m/s, also convert time to second so, 20min ⇒(20* 60)seconds

Displacement = (15 ×\frac{1000}{60*60}) × (20×60) =5000m OR 5Km

What do electric forces between charges depend on
denis23 [38]

Answer:

On the magnitude of the charges, on their separation and on the sign of the charges

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric force between two charges is given by

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the magnitudes of the two charges

r is the separation between the charges

From the formula, we see that the magnitude of the force depends on the following factors:

- magnitude of the two charges

- separation between the charges

Moreover, the direction of the force depends on the sign of the two charges. In fact:

- if the two charges have same sign, the force is repulsive

- if the two charges have opposite signs, the force is attractive
