Answer:

a) v    r = 0.7318 cm , b)  r = 7.23 cm

Explanation:

The magnetic field generated by a wire carrying a current can be found with Ampere's law

       ∫ B. ds = μ₀ I

the length of a surface circulates around the wire is

    s = 2π r

where r is the point of interest of the calculation of the magnetic field

         B = μ₀ I / 2π r

In this exercise we have two wires, write the equation of the magnetic field of each one

wire 1     I = 5.8 A

         B₁ = μ₀ 5,8 / 2π r₁

wire 2    I = 3.0 A

         B₂ = μ₀ 3/2π r₂

the direction of the field is given by the rule of the right hand, the thumb indicates the direction of the current and the other fingers the direction of the magnetic field

Let's apply these expressions to our case

a) the two streams go in the same direction

     using the right hand rule for each wire we see that between the two wires the magnetic fields have opposite directions so there is some point where the total value is zero

          B₁ - B₂ = 0

           B₁ = B₂

         μ₀ 5,8 / 2π r₁ = μ₀ 3 / 2π r₂

          5.8 / r₁ = 3 / r₂

          5.8 r₂ = 3r₁

the value of r is measured from each wire, therefore

        r₁ = 2.3 + r

        r₂ = 2.3 -r

we substitute

          5.8 (2.3 - r) = 3 (2.3 + r)

           r (3 + 5.8) = 2.3 (5.8 - 3)

           r = 2.3 2.8 / 8.8

           r = 0.7318 cm

b) the two currents have directional opposite

with the right hand rule in the field you have opposite directions outside the wires

suppose it is zero on the right side where the wire with the lowest current is

         B₁ = B₂

        5.8 / r₁ = 3 / r₂

        5.8 r₂ = 3 r₁

         r₁ = 2.3 + r

         r₂ = r - 2.3

        5.8 (r - 2.3) = 3 (2.3 + r)

        r (5.8 -3) = 2.3 (3 + 5.8)

        r = 2.3 8.8 / 2.8

        r = 7.23 cm

if an object is moving at a constant speed in a changing direction, What is the acceleration of the object (zero or not zero)​
Andreas93 [3]
  • We know, acceleration is the change of velocity by time.
  • Velocity is the speed of an object which also indicates the direction.
  • Hence, acceleration is both dependant upon the speed as well as the direction.
  • So, if an object is moving at a constant speed in a changing direction, the acceleration will also change. It will not be zero.
  • An example is that of uniform circular motion.

Answer:

if an object is moving at a constant speed in a changing direction, the acceleration of the object will not be zero.

If youre walking from point a to b, the magnitude of your displacement will always be equal or less than or greater than your di
xenn [34]

The magnitude of your displacement can be equal to the distance you covered, or it can be less than the distance you covered.  But it can never be greater than the distance you covered.

This is because displacement is a straight line, whereas distance can be a straight line, a squiggly line, a zig-zag line, a line with loops in it, a line with a bunch of back-and-forths in it, or any other kind of line.

The straight line is always the shortest path between two points.

Ferns that eject spores generally do so in pairs, with two spores flying off in opposite directions. The structure from which th
Furkat [3]

Answer:

It cancels recoil.

Explanation:

For each action there is an equal an opposite reaction.

The principle of conservation of momentum tell us that if a single spore were ejected the fern would suffer a recoil from it. This recoil would take energy and speed from the spore. But if they are ejected in pairs the recoil is canceled and all the energy is transferred to the spores resulting in higher speeds.

Explain, step by step, how to calculate the amount of current (I) that will go through the resistor in this circuit
anygoal [31]

Answer:

0.03 A

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Resistor (R) = 470 Ω

Current (I) =?

From ohm's law, the voltage, current and resistor are related by the following formula:

Voltage = current × resistor

V = IR

With the above formula, we can obtain the current in the circuit as follow:

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Resistor (R) = 470 Ω

Current (I) =?

V = IR

12 = I × 470

Divide both side by 470

I = 12 / 470

I = 0.03 A

Thus, the current in the circuit is 0.03 A
