Two long straight wires are parallel and 8.6 cm apart. They are to carry equal currents such that the magnetic field at a point

halfway between them has magnitude 370 µT. (a) Should the currents be in the same or opposite directions? (b) How much current is needed?

Answer:

(a) The current should be in opposite direction

(b) The current needed is 39.8 A

Explanation:

Part (a)

Based, on right hand rule, the current should be in opposite direction

Part (b)

given;

strength of magnetic field, B = 370 µT

distance between the two parallel wires, d = 8.6 cm

B = \frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi R}

At the center, the magnetic field strength is twice

B_c = 2(\frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi R}) =\frac{ \mu_oI}{\pi R}

R = d/2 = 8.6/2 = 4.3 cm = 0.043 m

B_c = \frac{ \mu_oI}{\pi R}\\\\I = \frac{B_c\pi R}{\mu_o} = \frac{370 *10^{-6}* \pi *0.043}{4\pi *10^{-7}}\\\\I = 39.8 \ A

Therefore, current needed is 39.8 A

After being struck by a bowling ball, a 1.8 kg bowling pin sliding to the right at 5.0 m/s collides head-on with another 1.8 kg
kaheart [24]

Answer:

a) v₂ = 4.2 m/s

b) v₂ = 5 m/s

Explanation:

a)

We will use the law of conservation of momentum here:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

where,

m₁ = m₂ = mass of bowling pin = 1.8 kg

u₁ = speed of first pin before collsion = 5 m/s

u₂ = speed of second pin before collsion = 0 m/s

v₁ = speed of first pin after collsion = 0.8 m/s

v₂ = speed of second after before collsion = ?

Therefore,

(1.8\ kg)(5\ m/s)+(1.8\ kg)(0\ m/s)=(1.8\ kg)(0.8\ m/s)+(1.8\ kg)(v_2)\\v_2 = 5\ m/s - 0.8\ m/s

<u>v₂ = 4.2 m/s</u>

<u></u>

b)

We will use the law of conservation of momentum here:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

where,

m₁ = m₂ = mass of bowling pin = 1.8 kg

u₁ = speed of first pin before collsion = 5 m/s

u₂ = speed of second pin before collsion = 0 m/s

v₁ = speed of first pin after collsion = 0 m/s

v₂ = speed of second after before collsion = ?

Therefore,

(1.8\ kg)(5\ m/s)+(1.8\ kg)(0\ m/s)=(1.8\ kg)(0\ m/s)+(1.8\ kg)(v_2)

<u>v₂ = 5 m/s</u>
