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

A woman holds a book by placing it between her hands such that she presses at right angles to the front and back covers. The boo
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we need to make a free body diagram of the book and the forces that interact on it. In the picture below you can see the free body diagram with these forces.

The person holding the book is compressing it with his hands, thus exerting a couple of forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction with value F.

Now the key to solving this problem is to analyze the equilibrium condition (Newton's third law) on the x & y axes.

To find the weight of the book we simply multiply the mass of the book by gravity.

W = m*g

W = 1.3[kg] * 9.81[m/s^2]

W = 12.75 [N]

In which medium does light travel faster: one with a critical angle of 27.0° or one with a critical angle of 32.0°? Explain. (Fo
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Among those two medium, light would travel faster in the one with a reflection angle of 32^{\circ} (when light enters from the air.)

Explanation:

Let v_{1} denote the speed of light in the first medium. Let v_{\text{air}} denote the speed of light in the air. Assume that the light entered the boundary at an angle of \theta_{1} to the normal and exited with an angle of \theta_{\text{air}}. By Snell's Law, the sine of \theta_{1}\! and \theta_{\text{air}}\! would be proportional to the speed of light in the corresponding medium. In other words:

\displaystyle \frac{v_{1}}{v_{\text{air}}} = \frac{\sin(\theta_{1})}{\sin(\theta_{\text{air}})}.

When light enters a boundary at the critical angle \theta_{c}, total internal reflection would happen. It would appear as if the angle of refraction is now 90^{\circ}. (in this case, \theta_{\text{air}} = 90^{\circ}.)

Substitute this value into the Snell's Law equation:

\begin{aligned}\frac{v_{1}}{v_{\text{air}}} &= \frac{\sin(\theta_{1})}{\sin(\theta_{\text{air}})} \\ &= \frac{\sin(\theta_{c})}{\sin(90^{\circ})} \\ &= \sin(\theta_{c})\end{aligned}.

Rearrange to obtain an expression for the speed of light in the first medium:

v_{1} = v_{\text{air}} \cdot \sin(\theta_{1}).

The speed of light in a medium (with the speed of light slower than that in the air) would be proportional to the critical angle at the boundary between this medium and the air.

For 0 < \theta < 90^{\circ}, \sin(\theta) is monotonically increasing with respect to \theta. In other words, for \!\theta in that range, the value of \sin(\theta)\! increases as the value of \theta\! increases.

Therefore, compared to the medium in this question with \theta_{c} = 27^{\circ}, the medium with the larger critical angle \theta_{c} = 32^{\circ} would have a larger \sin(\theta_{c}). such that light would travel faster in that medium.

When the valve between the 2.00-L bulb, in which the gas pressure is 2.00 atm, and the 3.00-L bulb, in which the gas pressure is
padilas [110]

Answer:

P_{C} = 3.2\, atm

Explanation:

Let assume that gases inside bulbs behave as an ideal gas and have the same temperature. Then, conditions of gases before and after valve opened are now modelled:

Bulb A (2 L, 2 atm) - Before opening:

P_{A} \cdot V_{A} = n_{A} \cdot R_{u} \cdot T

Bulb B (3 L, 4 atm) - Before opening:

P_{B} \cdot V_{B} = n_{B} \cdot R_{u} \cdot T

Bulbs A & B (5 L) - After opening:

P_{C} \cdot (V_{A} + V_{B}) = (n_{A} + n_{B})\cdot R_{u} \cdot T

After some algebraic manipulation, a formula for final pressure is derived:

P_{C} = \frac{P_{A}\cdot V_{A} + P_{B}\cdot V_{B}}{V_{A}+V_{B}}

And final pressure is obtained:

P_{C} = \frac{(2\,atm)\cdot (2\,L)+(4\,atm)\cdot(3\,L)}{5\,L}

P_{C} = 3.2\, atm
