Two long parallel wires are separated by 6.0 mm. The current in one of the wires is twice the other current. If the magnitude of

the force on a 3.0-m length of one of the wires is equal to 8.0 μN, what is the greater of the two currents?

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnitude of force per unit length of wire on each of wires

= μ₀ x 2 i₁ x i₂ / 4π r    where i₁ and i₂ are current in the two wires , r is distance between the two and  μ₀ is permeability .

Putting the values ,

force per unit length = 10⁻⁷ x 2 x i x 2i / ( 6 x 10⁻³ )

= .67 i² x 10⁻⁴

force on 3 m length

= 3 x .67 x 10⁻⁴ i²

Given ,

8 x 10⁻⁶ = 3 x .67 x 10⁻⁴ i²

i²  = 3.98 x 10⁻²

i = 1.995 x 10⁻¹

= .1995

=  0.2 A approx .

2 i = .4 A Ans .

The characteristics of the kinematics allow to find the results for the questions about the movement of the body are:

a)  we have four sections;

  • 0 to 8 s The body is accelerating.
  • 8 to 10 s The body goes at a constant speed, the acceleration is zero.
  • 10 to 14 Body accelerating.
  • 14 to 18 Body slowing down.

b)  The acceleration is the first 8 s is:  a = 0.25 m / s²

c) The maximum acceleration is:    a = 1 m / s²

d) The displacement   is:  i) d₁ =  8m,     ii)  d_{total}= 16 m

e) maximum speed  is:      v = 6 m / s

Kinematics studies the movement of bodies by finding relationships between the position, speed and acceleration of bodies.

        v = v₀ + a t

        y = v₀ t + ½ a t²

where v and v₀ is the current and initial velocity, respectively, a is the acceleration and t is time.

In many circumstances graphs are made for their analysis, in a graph of speed versus time when we have a horizontal line the speed is constant, the acceleration is zero and in the case of a slope there is an acceleration, we have two cases:

  • Positive slope the body is accelerating and the speed is increasing.
  • Negative slope the body is stopping, the speed decreases.

Let's answer the different questions about the system.

a) in the attached we have a graph of the velocity versus time, each section corresponds to a change in the slope of the graph, we have four sections;

  • 0 to 8 s The body is accelerating.
  • 8 to 10 s The body goes at a constant speed, the acceleration is zero.
  • 10 to 14 Body accelerating.
  • 14 to 18 Body slowing down.

b) The acceleration is the first 8 s

          v = v₀ + a t

          a = \frac{v-v_o}{\Delta t}  

          a = \frac{2-0}{8-0}  

          a = 0.25 m / s²

c) The maximum acceleration is when the slope is maximum.

          a = \frac{6-2}{ 14-10}  

          a = 1 m / s²

Therefore the acceleration is maximum in the section between 10 and 14 s

d) The total displacement is the sum of the displacements of each section.

         d_{total } = d_1 +d_2 + d_3 +d_4  

We look for every displacement.

       d₁ = v₀ + ½ a₁ Δt²

       d₁ = 0 + ½ 0.25 8²

       d₁ = 8 m

In the second section the velocity is constant

         d₂ = v₂ Δt₂

         d₂ = 2 (10-8)

         d₂ = 4 m

The third section.

    d₃ = v₀ + ½ a t²

    d₃ = 2 + ½ 1 (14-10) ²

    d₃ = 10 m

The distance of the fourth section.

       

we look for acceleration

          a₄ = \frac{v-v_o}{\Delta t}  

          a₄ = \frac{0-6}{18-14}  

          a₄ = -1.5 m / s²

     

          d₄ = 6 + ½ (-1.5) (1814) ²

          d₄ = -6 m

The total displacement is;

          d_{total} = 8 + 4 + 10 -6

          d_{total} = 16 m

e) The maximum speed is the highest point in the graph of speed versus time that in the attachment we can see corresponds to

          v = 6 m / s

In conclusion using the characteristics of kinematics we can find the results for the questions about the motion of bodies are:

  a)  we have four sections;

  • 0 to 8 s The body is accelerating.
  • 8 to 10 s The body goes at a constant speed, the acceleration is zero.
  • 10 to 14 Body accelerating.
  • 14 to 18 Body slowing down.

b)  The acceleration is the first 8 s is:  a = 0.25 m / s²

c) The maximum acceleration is:    a = 1 m / s²

d) The displacement   is:  i) d₁ =  8m,     ii)  d_{total}= 16 m

e) maximum speed  is:      v = 6 m / s

How was Edwin Hubble able to use his discovery of Cepheids in Andromeda to prove that the "spiral nebulae" were actually galaxie
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:  The correct answer is :  From the period-luminosity relation for Cepheids, he was able to determine the distance to Andromeda and show that it was far outside the Milky Way Galaxy.

Explanation:  Hubble's law says that the recession velocity of a galaxy is directly proportional to its distance from us. Hubble measured the distance to the Andromeda galaxy by applying the period-luminosity relationship to Cepheid.
