If gold gets hot enough, and melts, then this is a <u>physical change</u><u>.</u>

Melting is a physical change. Keep in mind that temperature and melting are both physical properties.

Determine the magnitude of the force between two 42 m-long parallel wires separated by 0.03 m, both carrying 6.3 A in the same d

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force between the two parallel wires is 0.0111 N.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the two parallel wires, L = 42 m

distance between the two wires, r = 0.03 m

current in both wires, I₁, I₂ = 6.3 A

Therefore, the magnitude of the repulsive force between the two parallel wires is given by;

$F = \frac{\mu_0 I_1I_2l}{2\pi r}\\\\where;\\\mu_0 \ is \ permeability \ of \ free \ space = 4\pi *10^{-7} \ T.m/A \\\\F = \frac{(4\pi *10^{-7})(6.3)^2(42)}{2\pi (0.03)}\\\\F = 0.0111 \ N$

Therefore, the magnitude of the force between the two parallel wires is 0.0111 N.

A 2 kg object with a weight of 20 N is being pulled up by a rope with a tension of 12N what is the acceleration of the object

son4ous [18]

Answer:

The object accelerates downward at 4 m/s² since the tension on the rope is less than weight of the object.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object, m = 2 kg

weigh of the object, W = 20 N

tension on the rope, T = 12 N

The acceleration of the object is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion as follows;

T = F + W

T = ma + W

ma = T - W

$a = \frac{T-W}{m} \\\\a = \frac{12 - 20}{2} \\\\a = -4 \ m/s^2$ (the negative sign indicates deceleration of the object)

The object accelerates downward at 4 m/s² since the tension on the rope is less than weight of the object.

During a race, four competitors of the same weight rode identical bicycles for 10 minutes. At 8 minutes, which bicycle was movin

Sophie [7]

Answer:

All the competitors will move with the same velocity.

Explanation:

Here, the situations for each competitor are identical. Thus, they will exert the same force and hence, their velocities at each instants will be identical.

How does the matter and (solar) energy move through the sphere?

Tema [17]

When the Sun's energy moves through space, it reaches Earth's atmosphere and finally the surface. This radiant solar energy warms the atmosphere and becomes heat energy. This heat energy is transferred throughout the planet's systems in three ways: by radiation, conduction, and convection.
