Answer:

The magnitude of the force that each wire exerts on the other will increase by a factor of two.

Explanation:

force on parallel current carrying wire, F = BILsinθ

where;

B is the strength of the magnetic field

L is the length of the wire

I is the magnitude of current on the wire

θ is the angle of inclination of the wire

Assuming B, L and θ is constant, then F ∝ I

F = kI

\frac{F_1}{I_1} = \frac{F_2}{I_2}

When the amount of current is doubled in one of the wires, lets say the second wire;

\frac{F_1}{I_1} = \frac{F_2}{2I_1} \\\\F_2 = \frac{2F_1I_1}{I_1} \\\\F_2 =2F_1

Also, if will double the amount of current on the first wire, then

F₁ = 2F₂

Therefore, the magnitude of the force that each wire exerts on the other will increase by a factor of two.

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Volume=0.003m^3 density=6000kg/m^3

Explanation:

mass=18kg

volume=length x width x height

Volume of block=0.1x0.15x0.2

volume of block=0.003m^3

Density=mass ➗ volume

Density=18 ➗ 0.003

Density=6000kg/m^3

Suppose you have a pendulum clock which keeps correct time on Earth(acceleration due to gravity = 1.6 m/s2). For ever hour inter
kaheart [24]

The moon clock is A) (9.8/1.6)h compared to 1 hour on Earth

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is given by the equation

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration of gravity

In this problem, we want to compare the period of the pendulum on Earth with its period on the Moon. The period of the pendulum on Earth is

T_e=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g_e}}

where

g_e = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity on Earth

The period of the pendulum on the Moon is

T_m=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g_m}}

where

g_m = 1.6 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity on the Moon

Calculating the ratio of the period on the Moon to the period on the Earth, we find

\frac{T_m}{T_e}=\frac{g_e}{g_m}=\frac{9.8}{1.6}

Therefore, for every hour interval on Earth, the Moon clock will display a time of

A) (9.8/1.6)h
