Answer:

Explanation:

Particles of a solid are closely packed, and when a solid is hit to produce a sound the kinetic energy present in the solid will cause the particles to vibrate vigorously in the intermolecular spaces in the solid, whereas the paticles of liquids and gases are rather further apart therefore having large intermolecular spaces between particles.

Electromagnetic waves do require a medium to travel.<br><br> True<br> False

pshichka [43]

Answer:

The Answer is false

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in that they do not require a medium to propagate. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel not only through air and solid materials, but also through the vacuum of space.

Two long wires hang vertically. Wire 1 carries an upward current of 1.50 A . Wire 2,20.0cm to the right of wire 1, carries a dow

Inessa [10]

The magnitude of the current in wire 3 is 2.4 A and in a direction pointing in the downward direction.

The force per unit length between two parallel thin current-carrying $I_1$ and $I_2$ wires at distance ' r ' is given by $f=\frac{u_0I_1I_2}{2\pi r}$ ....(1) .

If the current is flowing in both wires in the same direction, and the force between them will be the attractive force and if the current is flowing in opposite direction in wires then the force between them will be the repulsive force.

A schematic of the information provided in the question can be seen in the image attached below.

From the image, force on wire 2 due to wire 1 = force on wire 2 due to wire 3

$F_2_1=F_2_3$

Using equation (1) , we get

$\frac{u_0I_2I_1}{0.2} =\frac{u_0I_2I_3}{0.32} \\\\\frac{I_1}{0.2} =\frac{I_3}{0.32} \\\\\frac{1.50}{0.2} =\frac{I_3}{0.32} \\\\0.48=0.2I_3\\\\I_3=2.4A$
