Answer: 1.298\times 10^{-5}\ N/m

Explanation:

Given

Current in the first wire I_1=2.2\ A

Current in the second wire I_2=5.9\ A

wires are 20\ cm apart

Force per unit length between the current-carrying wires is

\Rightarrow \dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1I_2}{2\pi r}

Force exerted  by the wires is the same

Put the values

\Rightarrow \frac{F}{l}=f=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 2.2\times 5.9}{2\pi \times 0.2}=1.298\times 10^{-5}\ N/m

This force will be repulsive in nature as the current is flowing opposite

I need help answering 30A and B. Help a guy out?
dmitriy555 [2]

Uh so I'm no master at this subject, but all stuffs accelerate at 9.8 m/s squared. So you multiply the 9.8 and the 0.20 it's given for reasons unknown other than that's what I see in my notes... and that gives you 1.96 m/s squared.

As for B, I have no idea. I think you may multiply the 1.96 by 4. Tell me your thoughts and maybe we can work it out together

A blue ball is thrown upward with an initial speed of 23.9 m/s, from a height of 0.8 meters above the ground. 2.9 seconds after
murzikaleks [220]
<span>At the exact instant the blue ball reaches maximum height, it is stationary for that millisecond in time before it begins to fall, therefore its speed is zero. (The other factors listed have no effect on the speed at the moment of maximum height.)</span>
