Answer:

F = μi²l/πa

Explanation:

The magnetic force F on a length of wire, l carrying a current i in a magnetic field B is given by

F = Bilsinθ      

The magnetic field due to one wire of length, l carrying a current, i at a distance a from it is given by B = μi/2πa

So, the force on the first wire due to the second wire is F₁ = Bilsinθ = μiilsinθ/2πa = μi²lsinθ/2πa

the force on the first wire due to the third wire is F₂ = Bilsinθ = μiilsinθ/2πa = μi²lsinθ/2πa

Since the magnetic field due to the one wire is perpendicular to the length of the other wire its field acts upon, θ = 90

So, F₁ = μi²lsinθ/2πa = μi²lsin90/2πa = μi²l/2πa and

F₂ = μi²lsinθ/2πa = μi²lsin90/2πa = μi²l/2πa

Since the angle between F₁ and F₂ is 60° (since it is an equilateral triangle)

The resultant force F is thus

F = √(F₁² + F₂² + 2F₁F₂cos60°)

F = √(F₁² + F₂² + 2F₁F₂ × 0.5)

F = √(F₁² + F₂² + 2F₁F₂)   (since F₁ = F₂)

F = √(2F₁² + 2F₁²) = √(4F₁²)

F = 2F₁

F = 2μi²l/2πa

F = μi²l/πa

Answer:

F_{1}=\frac{\mu _{0}I_{1}I_{2}}{2\pi a}l+\frac{\mu _{0}I_{1}I_{3}}{2\pi a}l=\frac{\mu _{0}I_{1}}{2\pi a}l(I_{2}+I_{3})

Explanation:

To solve this problem we can use the expression for the force between two wires with currents I1 and I2, at a distance of r.

F_{1}=F_{2}=\frac{\mu _{0}I_{1}I_{2}}{2\pi r}L

where L is the length of the wires. Wires feel the same force and the currents are in the same direction.

For our problem the three wires the force is the same. By taking into account that the distance among them is <em>a</em> we have

F_{1}=F_{2}=F_{3}

and the force on on of the wire is the sum of the effects of the others

F_{1}=\frac{\mu _{0}I_{1}I_{2}}{2\pi a}l+\frac{\mu _{0}I_{1}I_{3}}{2\pi a}l=\frac{\mu _{0}I_{1}}{2\pi a}l(I_{2}+I_{3})

where we have taken <em>r=a</em> (wires are equidistant in a equilateral triangle)and <em>L=l </em>for our problem

I hope this is useful for you

regards

Racing greyhounds are capable of rounding corners at very high speeds. A typical greyhound track has turns that are 45-m-diamete
Margarita [4]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Diameter of the semicircle, d = 45 m

Radius of the semicircle, r = 22.5 m      

Speed of greyhound, v = 15 m/s

The greyhound is moving under the action of centripetal acceleration. Its formula is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}

a=\dfrac{(15)^2}{22.5}

a=10\ m/s^2

We know that, g=9.8\ m/s^2

a=\dfrac{10\times g}{9.8}

a=1.02\ g

Hence, this is the required solution.

1. Magnetic properties of a substance depends on the structure of its valence electrons. It has something to do with orbitals so I suggest you study about molecular geometry of a compound/substance firstIt's the way a substance's atoms fit together, being pulled and pushed from all sides equally. exists in metallic bonds <span>if a substance is said to be magnetic, it is simply attracted by a magnet. if it is paramagnetic, it is repelled by a magnet.

2.</span>The magnetic field will be perpendicular to the electric field and vice versa<span> An electric field is the area which surrounds an electric charge within which it is capable of exerting a perceptible force on another electric charge. A magnetic field is the area of force surrounding a magnetic pole, or a current flowing through a conductor, in which there is a magnetic flux. A magnetic field can be produced when an electric current is passed through an electric circuit wound in a helix or solenoid. The relationship that exists between an electric field and a magnetic field is one of electromagnetic interaction as a consequence of associating elementary particles. The electrostatic force between charged particles is an example of this relationship.</span>

A worker pushes a box across the floor to the right at a constant speed with a force of 25N. What
icang [17]

Answer:

Friction between the box and the floor is 25N to the left

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the box along the horizontal direction:

- The force of push applied by the worker, in the forward direction, F

- The force of friction, F_f, acting in the opposite direction (backward)

So the net force acting on the box is

F_{net}=F-F_f

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force on an object is equal to the product between its mass (m) and its acceleration (a), so we can write:

F_{net}=ma

And so

F-F_f = ma

However, in this case the box is moving at constant speed; this means that its acceleration is zero:

a=0

Therefore we have:

F-F_f=0

Which means

F_f=F

And since we are told that

F=25 N

This means that the force of friction is also 25 N:

F_f=F=25 N
