Answer:

current I = 38 mA

Explanation:

given data

distance r = 7.2 cm

repel each other force per unit length \frac{F}{l} = 4.2 nN/m

solution

we know 2  wire is parallel and when current flow through these wire they exert force each other due to magnetic field

and current I(1) = I(2)   ................1

so

\frac{F}{l} = \frac{\mu _o}{2\pi } \times \frac{I(1) \times I(2)}{r}     ..................2

put here value

4.2 × 10^{-9} = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}}{2\pi } \times \frac{I^2}{7.2\times 10^{-2}}    

solve it we get

I = 0.038884 A

current I = 38 mA

You drop your cell phone. Prior to hitting the ground, the phone's kinetic energy will ________ and its potential energy will __
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the phone would increase. The gravitational potential energy of the phone would decrease.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy {\rm KE} of an object is proportional to the square of the speed of that object. If air resistance is negligible, the phone would accelerate under gravitational pull and speed up. Hence, the kinetic energy of the phone would increase.

The gravitational field near the surface of the earth is approximately constant. Hence, the gravitational potential energy {\rm GPE} of the phone would be proportional to its height. As the phone approaches the ground, the height of the phone becomes lower and the gravitational potential energy of the phone would decrease.

A football player runs 20 meters North of a football field, and then 15 meters East. The total motion lasted 15 seconds. What wa
vlada-n [284]
Given:
1st run: 20 meters North
2nd run: 15 meters East
time: 15 seconds

Average speed = total distance covered / total time taken
Ave. Speed = (20m + 15m) / 15s
Ave. Speed = 35m / 15s
Ave. Speed = 2 1/3  meters per second
