You have three known variables:
Acceleration -

Time -

Initial Velocity -

For the first part of your question:

For the second part of your question:

This still needs to be converted to m/h:
Answer:
For cast iron we have

For copper

For Lead

For Zinc

Explanation:
As we know that final speed of the block is calculated by work energy theorem

now we have

now we have


For cast iron we have


For copper


For Lead


For Zinc


The formula that is applicable here is E = kQ/r^2 in which the energy of attraction is proportional to the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance. In this case,
kQ1/(r1)^2 = kQ2/(r2)^2 r1=l/3, r2=2l/3solve Q1/Q2
kQ1/(l/3)^2 = kQ2/(2l/3)^2 kQ1/(l^2/9) = kQ2/(4l^2/9)Q1/Q2 = 1/4
Direction!
Velocity is a vector quantity and speed is a scalar quantity. Vector quantities includes both magnitude and direction, while scalar quantities only have magnitude. :)
Answer:
the needle will direct its North South according to the magnetic field of current carrying wire.
Explanation:
A current carrying wire always has a magnetic field around it, in circular loops. This magnetic field will be either clockwise or anticlockwise depending on the direction of current.
Right hand rule tells the direction. Place the current carrying wire in your right hand with thumb pointing the direction of current. Curl of the fingers tell the direction of current.
When the needle gets in the vicinity of the field, its poles aligns itself with the field. (previous position of the compass needle has no effect on its position in the field). The north pole and south pole will be set in the direction of magnetic field.
The distance between the needle and wire does effect the strength (accuracy) of the needle position. Strong field will create strong deflection of the needle whereas when the distance from wire increases, field weakens, thus the deflection of needle will be weak.
