This problems a perfect application for this acceleration formula:

   Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time)² .

During the speeding-up half:   1,600 meters = (1/2) (1.3 m/s²) T²
During the slowing-down half: 1,600 meters = (1/2) (1.3 m/s²) T²

Pick either half, and divide each side by 0.65 m/s²:

   T² = (1600 m) / (0.65 m/s²)

   T = square root of (1600 / 0.65) seconds

Time for the total trip between the stations is double that time.

   T = 2 √(1600/0.65) = <em>99.2 seconds</em> (rounded)

"Two long parallel wires 24.0 cm apart carry currents of 3.0 A and 8.0 A in the same direction. How far from the wire carrying 3

avanturin [10]

Answer:

6.5454 m

Explanation:

Let the distance from the wire carrying 3 A current is x

Then the distance from the the carrying current 8 A is 24-x

We know that magnetic field due to long wire is given by $B=\frac{\mu _0i}{2\pi r}$
