Answer:

d=5.376km

Explanation:

Since <em>light is so fast</em> we can assume no time passes between the lightning strikes and we observe it. We want to know then how far away did the strike occur for the sound to take 16s to reach our ears. Since the definition of velocity tells us that v=d/t, we can write d=vt=(336m/s)(16s)=5376m=5.376km

hram777 [196]

Answer:

(a)20.65g

(b)0.19m

Explanation:

(a) The total mass would be it's mass per length multiplied by the total lenght

0.355(50 + 23*0.355) = 20.65 g

(b) The center of mass would be at point c where the mass on the left and on the right of c is the same

Hence the mass on the left side would be half of its total mass which is 20.65/2 = 10.32 g

c(50 + 23c) = 10.32

23c^2 + 50c - 10.32 = 0

c \approx 0.19m

Two straight wires are in parallel and carry electrical currents in opposite directions with the same magnitude of 2.0A. The dis
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Two straight wires

Have current in opposite direction

i1=i2=i=2Amps

Distance between two wires

r=5mm=0.005m

Length of one wire is ∞

Length of second wire is 0.3m

Force between the wire,

The force between two parallel currents I1 and I2, separated by a distance r, has a magnitude per unit length given by

F/l = μoi1i2/2πr

F/l=μoi²/2πr

μo=4π×10^-7 H/m

The force is attractive if the currents are in the same direction, repulsive if they are in opposite directions.

F/l = μoi1i2/2πr

F/0.3=4π×10^-7×2²/2π•0.005

F/0.3=1.6×10^-4

Cross multiply

F=1.6×10^-4×0.3

F=4.8×10^-5N

Percentage Error is a measurement of the discrepancy between an observed and a true, or accepted value.

[ refer the attachment. ]

According to Question,

% error = \frac{7.4 - 7.6}{7.6} × 100

= 2.631 % = 2.7 % (approximately.)

hope it helps!
