Answer:
(a) The current should be in opposite direction
(b) The current needed is 39.8 A
Explanation:
Part (a)
Based, on right hand rule, the current should be in opposite direction
Part (b)
given;
strength of magnetic field, B = 370 µT
distance between the two parallel wires, d = 8.6 cm
At the center, the magnetic field strength is twice
R = d/2 = 8.6/2 = 4.3 cm = 0.043 m
Therefore, current needed is 39.8 A
The hang time of the ball is 4.08 s
Explanation:
The ball is in free fall motion: this means that it is acted upon gravity only, so its acceleration is the acceleration of gravity,
downward (the negative sign refers to the downward direction).
Since this is a uniformly accelerated motion, we can solve the problem by using the following suvat equation:
where
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
t is the time
First we calculate the time it takes for the ball to reach the maximum height, where the velocity is zero:
v = 0
Substituting:
u = +20 m/s
we find t
The motion of the ball is symmetrical, so the total time of flight is just twice the time needed to reach the maximum height, therefore:
