We can answer this using one of the equations of linear motion:

v = d / t

where:

v = velocity

d = distance

t = time

<span>In the problem, we are asked to find for the time in which Driver B will catch up to Driver A. Therefore,  find the time when dA = dB. Rearranging the equation and equation dA and dB will result in:</span>

<span>vA * tA = vB * tB  ---> 1</span>

It was given that:

vA = 68 mph

tA = tB + 3 (since person A was travelling 3 hours earlier)

vB = 85 mph

tB = unknown

Substituting into equation 1:

68 * (tB + 3) = 85 * tB

68 tB + 204 = 85 tB

tB = 12 hrs

Therefore driver B would catch up to driver A after 12 hrs.

Two infinite wires 20 cm apart each carry a current of 3 A into the paper. d I I d/2 d/2 At a distance d 2 below their midpoint,
Rzqust [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

<h3>As electric current is carried in a cable, around it, a magnetic field is created. The lines of the magnetic fields form concentric circles around the wire. The direction of the magnetic field hinges on the direction of the current. It can be calculated by pointing the thumb of your right hand in the direction of the moment, using the "right hand law." The position of your curled fingers is in the magnetic field lines. The magnetic field magnitude depends on the sum of current, and the distance from the wire carrying the charge.</h3>

<u></u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Determine the direction of vector B magnitude B: B: B=\mu_{0} * 1 /(2 \pi r): r=d / 2 * \sqrt{2}

\cos \alpha=1 / 2 \Rightarrow \alpha=450

Resultant magnitude strength: B=2 B^{*} \cos \alpha=B=u_{0}^{*} 1 /(2 \pi r)=4.24^{*} 10^{-6} T=4.24 u T its direction is pointing to the left.

Two identical 0.400 kg masses are pressed against opposite ends of a light spring of force constant 1.75 N/cm, compressing the s
nlexa [21]

Answer:

0.853 m/s

Explanation:

Total energy stored in the spring = Total kinetic energy of the masses.

1/2ke² = 1/2m'v².................... Equation 1

Where k = spring constant of the spring, e = extension, m' = total mass, v = speed of the masses.

make v the subject of the equation,

v = e[√(k/m')].................... Equation 2

Given: e = 39 cm = 0.39 m, m' = 0.4+0.4 = 0.8 kg, k = 1.75 N/cm = 175 N/m.

Substitute into equation 2

v = 0.39[√(1.75/0.8)

v = 0.39[2.1875]

v = 0.853 m/s

Hence the speed of each mass = 0.853 m/s

Force F=2.0N i - 3.0N k acts on a pebble with position vectorr=0.50m j - 2.0m k relative to the origin. In unit vector notation,
klasskru [66]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Force acts on a pebble=2\hat{i}-3\hat{k} N

Position vector=r=0.5\hat{j}-2\hat{k} m

a.We have to find the resulting torque on the pebble about origin.

Torque=r\times F

Substitute the values then we get

Torque= (0.5j-2k)\times (2i-3k)

Torque=-k-1.5i-4jN-m

By using i\times j=k,j\times k=i,k\times i=j,j\times i=-k,k\times j=-i,i\times k=-j,i\times i=j\times j=k\times k=0

b.r=2i-3k

r-r_1=(0.5j-2k)-(2i-3k)=-2i+0.5j+k

Torque about point (2,0,-3)

\tau=(-2i+0.5j+k)\times (2i-3k)

\tau=-6j-k-1.5i+2j=-1.5i-4j-kN-m
