Mass is the measure of mutual gravitational pull to other bodies, or a fundamental property of an object. Weight is the measure of force on an object due to gravity.

Mass= is how big something is.
Weight= is how heavy something is.
They are different things because weight is talking about heavy... not how big it is.

Heat energy moves:_______.

steposvetlana [31]

c) only from warmer areas to colder areas.

The second principle of thermodynamics states that heat can only flow from a hotter body to a cooler one. Specifically, Clausius statement says that is not possible for heat to move by itself from a lower temperature body to a higher temperature body.

A positively charged wire with uniform charge density +λ lies along the x-axis and a negatively charged wire with uniform charge

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

$\vec{E} = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0}[\frac{1}{y}(\^y) - \frac{1}{x}(\^x)]$

Explanation:

The electric field created by an infinitely long wire can be found by Gauss' Law.

$\int \vec{E}d\vec{a} = \frac{Q_{enc}}{\epsilon_0}\\E2\pi r h = \frac{\lambda h}{\epsilon_0}\\\vec{E} = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0 r} \^r$

For the electric field at point (x,y), the superposition of electric fields created by both lines should be calculated. The distance 'r' for the first wire is equal to 'y', and equal to 'x' for the second wire.

$\vec{E} = \vec{E}_1 + \vec{E}_2 = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0 y}(\^y) + \frac{-\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0 x}(\^x)\\\vec{E} = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0 y}(\^y) - \frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0 x}(\^x)\\\vec{E} = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0}[\frac{1}{y}(\^y) - \frac{1}{x}(\^x)]$
