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 .

forsale [732]

Answer:

The maximum radius the asteroid can have for her to be able to leave it entirely simply by jumping straight up is approximately 1782.45 meters

Explanation:

Whereby the height the astronaut can jump on Earth = 0.500 m, we have the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² - 2·g·h

Where;

v = The final velocity

u = The initial velocity

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s²

h = The height she jumps

At the maximum height, h_{max} = 0.500 m, she jumps, v = 0, therefore, we have;

0² = u² - 2·g·h_{max}

u² = 2 × 9.8 × 0.5 = 9.8

u = √9.8 ≈ 3.13

u = 3.13 m/s

Her initial jumping velocity ≈ 3.13 m/s

Escape velocity, v_e = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \cdot G \cdot M}{r} }

Where;

M = The mass of the asteroid

G = The Universal gravitational constant = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg·s²)

r = The radius of the asteroid

The average density of the Earth = 5515 kg/m³

The mass of the asteroid, M = Density × Volume = 5515 kg/m³× 4/3 × π × r³

The escape velocity, she has, v_e ≈ 3.13 m/s is therefore;

3.13 = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \times 6.67408 \times 10^{-11} \times 5515 \times \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times r^3}{r} } = r \times \sqrt{3.084 \times 10^{-6}}

r = \dfrac{3.13}{ \sqrt{3.084 \times 10^{-6}}} \approx 1782.45

Therefore, the maximum radius of the asteroid can have for her jumping velocity to be equal to the escape velocity for her to be able to leave it entirely simply by jumping straight up = r ≈ 1782.45 meters.

Suppose someone pours 0.250 kg of 20.0ºC water (about a cup) into a 0.500-kg aluminum pan with a temperature of 150ºC. Assume th
Troyanec [42]

Answer : The temperature when the water and pan reach thermal equilibrium short time later is, 59.10^oC

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of aluminium = 0.90J/g^oC

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.184J/g^oC

m_1 = mass of aluminum = 0.500 kg = 500 g

m_2 = mass of water = 0.250 kg  = 250 g

T_f = final temperature of mixture = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of aluminum = 150^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 20^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

500g\times 0.90J/g^oC\times (T_f-150)^oC=-250g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (T_f-20)^oC

T_f=59.10^oC

Therefore, the temperature when the water and pan reach thermal equilibrium short time later is, 59.10^oC
