In standard household wiring, parallel wires about 1 cm apart carry currents of about 15 A.
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

0.00225 N/m

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Current in first wire, I(1) = 15A

Current in second wire, I(2) = 15A

Distance between two wires, R = 1cm = 0.01m

The force per unit length between two current carrying wires is:

F/L = μ₀I(1)I(2)/2πR

μ₀ = 4π * 10^(-7) Tm/A

F/L = [4π * 10^(-7) * 15 * 15] / (2π * 0.01)

F/L = 2.25 * 10^(-3) N/m or 0.00225 * 10^(-3) N/m

An observer measures the length (L), width (w), and height (h) of a box while stationary relative to the box. The observer then
Elenna [48]

Answer:

b. less than w.

Explanation:

In this question, the application of length contraction is what helps us come to our conclusion. When an object moves very fast (relative to the observer), the length of the object seems to be smaller than it actually is (again, for the observer).

This is supported by the length contraction equation below:

L = L_0\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }

Here, L is the observed length

L_0 is the original length of the object

v is the relative speed between the object and the observer

and c is the speed of light

Using this equation, we can see that as the speed between the object and the observer is increased to be close to that of light, the square root in the equation gives us values less than 1.0

This effectively decreases the length that is observed.

An oil droplet is sprayed into a uniform electric field of adjustable magnitude. The 0.11 g droplet hovers
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The direction of the field is downward, and negatively charged particles will experience an upwards force due to the field.

F = N e E     where E is the value of the field and N e the charge Q

M g = N e E      and M g is the weight of the drop

N = M g / (e E)

N = 1.1E-4 * 9.8 / (1.6E-19 * 370) = 1.1 * 9.8 / (1.6 * 370) * E15 = 1.82E13

.00011 kg is a very large drop

Q = N e = M g / E = .00011 * 9.8 / 370 = 2.91E-6 Coulombs

Check:     N = Q / e = 2.91E-6 / 1.6E-19 = 1.82E13   electrons

Length= 6cm width= 3cm height= 1cm mass= 36g- what is the density
stellarik [79]

Answer;

2 g/cm³ or 2000 kg/m³

Solution;

Density is given by dividing the mass of a substance by its volume.

Density = Mass/volume

Mass = 36 g

Volume = length × width × height

            = 6 cm × 3 cm × 1 cm    

            = 18 cm ³

Therefore;

Density = 36 g/ 18 cm³

             = 2 g/cm³ or 2000 kg/m³
