Two long, straight wires are parallel and 10cm apart. One carries a current of 2.0A, the other a current of 5.0A.(a) If the two

currents flow in opposite directions, what is the magnitude and direction of the force per unit length of one wire on the other?(b) What is the magnitude and direction of the force per unit length if the currents flow in the same direction?

To solve this problem we need to consider the concept about Ampere's Law.

The Ampere's law say that,

F = \frac{\mu_0 I_1I_2}{2\pi R}

Where,

F= Mangetic field

\mu_0 =Permeability of free space (4\pi*10^{-7}})

I =current

R= Radius from the wire in meters.

A) At the first case the force on wire is repulsive, replacing our values

F = \frac{4\pi*10^{-7}}*2*5}{2\pi *10*10^{-2}}

F= 2*10^{-5}N \rightarrow In repulsive direction.

B) At the second case de Force flow in the same direction, then we have,

F = \frac{4\pi*10^{-7}}*2*5}{2\pi *10*10^{-2}}

F= 2*10^{-5}N \rightarrow In attractive direction

sweet-ann [11.9K]
Finding out the acceleration 12/3 = 4m/s^2
thus it is descending so the actual acceleration would be 9.8-4 = 5.8 m/s^2
the weight will be 90*5.8 = 522 N
522/9.8 = 53.2 kg

An oil layer that is 5.0 cm thick is spread smoothly and evenly over the surface of water on a windless day. What is the angle o
Fofino [41]

Answer:

32.1

Explanation:

NOTE: You did not state the angle of incidence, and thus, I will be using 45° as my angle of incidence, all you need to do is replace it with your own value if it's different.

To solve this question, we are going to be using Snell's Law.

Snell's law describes the relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction, when referring to light or other waves passing through a boundary between two different isotropic media, such as water, glass, or air.

Snell's law is mathematically given as

sin(A1)/sin(A2) = n2/n1, where

n1 = incidence index

n2 = refracted index

A1 = incidence angle

A2 = refracted angle

The refraction index of oil is 1.15, and that of water is 1.33, so

if we take oil first,

sin A2 = (n1.sinA1)/n2

sin A2 = (1 * sin 45)/1.15

sin A2 = 0.7071/1.15

sin A2 = 0.6149

A2 = sin^-1 0.6149

A2 = 37.9°

Then

sin A3 = (1.15 * sin 37.9) / 1.33

sin A3 = (0.6149 * 1.15) / 1.33

sin A3 = 0.7071 / 1.33

sin A3 = 0.5317

A3 = sin^-1 0.5317

A3 = 32.1

Explain how we use a spectrometer to help us determine what stars and planets are made of?
BaLLatris [955]
We use a spectrometer to help us determine what stars and planets are made of by passing a light through various chemical elements, different spectral patterns are created. By matching those patterns up to patterns generated in a laboratory environment we can tell what the composition of a distant star or planet is.

Give an example of a physical change and the property associated with that change. Give an example of a chemical change and the
dusya [7]

Answer:

A physical change is an ice cube melting into water. The property is melting point. Another is a banana changing from yellow to brown and the property is color. A chemical change example is a pot or a tool rusting and turning from silver to a reddish-brown. It is also a color change, but it is different because the color changed chemically and not just by looks.

Assign a positive velocity to the red box and negative velocity to the blue box. Are they moving in opposite direction?
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

<em>Yes, they are moving in opposite direction one to the other.</em>

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector quantity, which means that it has both magnitude and direction. The magnitude shows the size of the velocity, and the direction shows which way it is moving in reference to a chosen reference direction. If the red box is assigned a positive velocity, and the blue box is assigned a negative velocity, as indicated in the question, then it means that the red box, and the blue box, both move in opposite direction to the other.
