Complete question:
Two parallel 3.0-meter long wires conduct current. The current in the top wire is 12.5 A and flows to the right. The top wire feels a repulsive force of 2.4 x 10^-4 N created by the interaction of the 12.5 A current and the magnetic field created by the bottom current (I). Find the magnitude and direction of the bottom current, if the distance between the two wires is 40cm.
Answer:
The bottom current is 12.8 A to the right.
Explanation:
Given;
length of the wires, L = 3.0 m
current in the top wire, I₁ = 12.5 A
repulsive force between the two wires, F = 2.4 x 10⁻⁴ N
distance between the two wires, r = 40 cm = 0.4 m
The repulsive force between the two wires is given by;
[tex]F = \frac{\mu_oI_1I_2L}{2\pi r}\\\\I_{2} = \frac{2F\pi r}{\mu_oI_1L}[/tex]
Where;
I₂ is the bottom current
The direction of the bottom current must be in the same direction as the top current since the force between the two wires is repulsive.
[tex]I_{2} = \frac{2F\pi r}{\mu_oI_1L}\\\\I_{2} = \frac{2(2.4*10^{-4})(\pi)(0.4)}{(4\pi*10^{-7})(12.5)(3)}\\\\I_{2} = 12.8 \ A[/tex]
Therefore, the bottom current is 12.8 A to the right.

A particle with charge q1 C is moving in the positive z-direction at 5 m/s. The magnetic field at its position is B-3 4j1T What is the magnetic force on the particle? A. (20i+15j) N B. (207-15j) N C. (-20i+15j) N D. (-20/-15) N E. none of these
Answer:
D. [tex]\vec F_{B} = -20\,\hat{i}-15\,\hat{j}\,\,\,[N][/tex]
Explanation:
The statement is not correctly written, the correct form is now described:
A particle with charge [tex]q = -1\,C[/tex] is moving in the positive z-direction at 5 meters per second. The magnetic field at its position is [tex]\vec B = 3\,\hat{i}-4\,\hat{j}\,\,\,[T][/tex]. What is the magnetic force on the particle?
From classic theory on Magnetism, we remember that the magnetic force exerted on a particle ([tex]\vec F_{B}[/tex]), measured in newtons, is determined by the following vectorial formula:
[tex]\vec F_{B} = q\cdot \vec v \,\times \,\vec B[/tex] (1)
Where:
[tex]q[/tex] - Electric charge, measured in coulombs.
[tex]\vec v[/tex] - Velocity of the particle, measured in meters per second.
[tex]\vec B[/tex] - Magnetic field, measured in teslas.
If we know that [tex]q = -1\,C[/tex], [tex]\vec v = 5\,\hat{k}\,\,\,\left[\frac{m}{s} \right][/tex] and [tex]\vec B = 3\,\hat{i}-4\,\hat{j}\,\,\,[T][/tex], then the magnetic force on the particle is:
[tex]\vec F_{B} = \left|\begin{array}{ccc}\hat{i}&\hat{j}&\hat{k}\\0\,\frac{C\cdot m}{s}&0\,\frac{C\cdot m}{s} &(-1\,C)\cdot (5\,\frac{m}{s} ) \\3\,T&-4\,T&0\,T\end{array}\right|[/tex]
[tex]\vec F_{B} = -(-4\,T)\cdot (-1\,C)\cdot \left(5\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\,\hat{i}+(-1\,C)\cdot\left(5\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (3\,T)\,\hat{j}[/tex]
[tex]\vec F_{B} = -20\,\hat{i}-15\,\hat{j}\,\,\,[N][/tex]
Which corresponds to option D.
There are two identical, positively charged conducting spheres fixed in space. The spheres are 40.4 cm apart (center to center) and repel each other with an electrostatic force of F1=0.0720 N . A thin conducting wire connects the spheres, redistributing the charge on each sphere. When the wire is removed, the spheres still repel, but with a force of F2=0.115 N . The Coulomb force constant is k=1/(4π????0)=8.99×109 N⋅m2/C2 . Using this information, find the initial charge on each sphere, q1 and q2 , if q1 is initially less than q2 .
Answer:
[tex]q_1=5.64\times 10^{-7}\ \text{C}[/tex] and [tex]q_2=2.32\times 10^{-6}\ \text{C}[/tex]
Explanation:
[tex]F_1=0.072\ \text{N}[/tex]
[tex]F_2=0.115\ \text{N}[/tex]
r = Distance between shells = 40.4 cm
[tex]q_1[/tex] and [tex]q_2[/tex] are the charges
[tex]k[/tex] = Coulomb constant = [tex]8.99\times10^{9}\ \text{Nm}^2/\text{C}^2[/tex]
Force is given by
[tex]F_1=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow q_1q_2=\dfrac{F_1r^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow q_1q_2=\dfrac{0.072\times 0.404^2}{8.99\times 10^{9}}\\\Rightarrow q_1q_2=1.307\times 10^{-12}\\\Rightarrow q_1=\dfrac{1.307\times 10^{-12}}{q_2}[/tex]
[tex]F_2=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow q=\sqrt{\dfrac{F_2r^2}{k}}\\\Rightarrow q=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.115\times 0.404^2}{8.99\times 10^{9}}}\\\Rightarrow q=1.44\times 10^{-6}\ \text{C}[/tex]
[tex]q=\dfrac{q_1+q_2}{2}\\\Rightarrow q_1+q_2=2q\\\Rightarrow q_1+q_2=2\times1.44\times 10^{-6}\\\Rightarrow q_1+q_2=2.88\times 10^{-6}[/tex]
Substituting the above value of [tex]q_1[/tex] we get
[tex]\dfrac{1.307\times 10^{-12}}{q_2}+q_2=2.88\times 10^{-6}\\\Rightarrow q_2^2-2.88\times 10^{-6}q_2+1.307\times 10^{-12}=0\\\Rightarrow \frac{-\left(-0.00000288\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-0.00000288\right)^2-4\times \:1\times \:1.307\times 10^{-12}}}{2\times \:1}\\\Rightarrow q_2=2.32\times 10^{-6}, 5.64\times 10^{-7}[/tex]
[tex]q_1=\dfrac{1.307\times 10^{-12}}{q_2}=\dfrac{1.307\times 10^{-12}}{2.32\times 10^{-6}}\\\Rightarrow q_1=5.63\times 10^{-7}[/tex]
[tex]q_1=\dfrac{1.307\times 10^{-12}}{q_2}=\dfrac{1.307\times 10^{-12}}{5.64\times 10^{-7}}\\\Rightarrow q_1=2.32\times 10^{-6}[/tex]
Since we know [tex]q_1<q_2[/tex]
[tex]q_1=5.64\times 10^{-7}\ \text{C}[/tex] and [tex]q_2=2.32\times 10^{-6}\ \text{C}[/tex].

A 40-cm-diameter, 300 g beach ball is dropped with a 4.0 mg ant riding on the top. The ball experiences air resistance, but the ant does not. What is the magnitude of the normal force exerted on the ant when the ball's speed is 4.0 m/s?
Answer:
The normal force exerted on the ant is 0.75 N.
Explanation:
Given;
diameter of the ball, D = 40 cm = 0.4m
radius of the ball, r = 0.2m
mass of the beach ball, m₁ = 300 g = 0.3 kg
mass of the ant, m₂ = 4 x 10⁻⁶ kg
speed of the ball, v = 4 m/s
The area of the ball, assuming spherical ball is given by;
A = 4πr²
A = 4π(0.2)² = 0.5027 m²
The drag force (resistance) experienced by the spherical ball is given as;
[tex]F_D = \frac{1}{2}C\rho Av^2[/tex]
where;
C is the drag coefficient of the spherical ball = 0.45
ρ is density of air = 1.21 kg/m³
[tex]F_D = \frac{1}{2}C\rho Av^2\\\\F_D = \frac{1}{2}(0.45)(1.21) (0.5027)(4)^2\\\\F_D = 2.19 \ N[/tex]
The downward force of the ball due to its weight and that of the ant is given by;
[tex]F_g = mg\\\\F_g =g(m_{ant} + m_{ball})\\\\F_g = g(4*10^{-6} \ kg\ + \ 0.3\ kg)\\\\F_g = g(0.300004 \ kg) \ \ \ (mass \ of \ the \ ant \ is \ insignificant)\\\\F_g = 9.8(0.3)\\\\F_g = 2.94 \ N[/tex]
The net downward force experienced by the ball is given by;
[tex]F_{net} = F_g - F_D\\\\F_{net} = 2.94 \ N - 2.19 \ N\\\\F_{net} = 0.75 \ N[/tex]
This downward force experienced by the ball is equal to the normal reaction it exerts on the ant.
Thus, the normal force exerted on the ant is 0.75 N.

How much would a spring scale with k = 120 N/m stretch, if it had a 3.75 J of work done
on it?
Answer:
0.25m
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Spring constant , K = 120N/m
Work done = 3.75J
Unknown:
magnitude of extension = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem;
Work done = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]kx²
K is the spring constant
x is the extension
3.75 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x 120x²
3.75 = 60x²
x² = 0.06
x = √0.06 = 0.25m
A potential difference of 1.20 V will be applied to a 33.0 m length of 18-gauge copper wire (diameter = 0.0400 in.). Calculate (a) the current, (b) the magnitude of the current density, (c) the magnitude of the electric field within the wire, and (d) the rate at which thermal energy will appear in the wire.
Answer:A) Current = 1.739A, B)current density, J = 2.147x10^6 A/m2
magnitude of electric field , E = 0.036 N/C
)rate of thermal energy, P =2.086W
Explanation:
Resistance = R = ρL/A
But the cross-section area of the wire. is given as
Diameter / 2 = 0.04/2 =0.02in to m = 0.02 / 39.37= 0.000508
A = πr^2 = π x 0.000508^2 = 8.10 x 10^-7
since resistivity of copper,ρ= 17x10-9 ohm.m
so resistance is R = ρL/A
17x10-9 x 33 / 8.1x10-7
= 0.69 ohm.
A) Current = I = Voltage /Resistance =1.20/0.69 =1.739A
B)current density, J = Current /Area
= 1.739/8.1x10-7
= 2.147x10^6 A/m2
c)magnitude of electric field , E = Current density x resistivity =J ρ
E = 2.147 x 10^6 x 17 x 10^-9
E = 0.036 N/C
D)rate of thermal energy, P = I² R =1.739² X 0.69
=2.086W

Answer: 16.78 miles
Explanation:
distance = rate * time
we're given the rate ( 5 m/s) and we're given the time it takes to get home (1.5 hrs). But notice how the units of hours don't match the seconds of the rate so we need to convert the hours into seconds.
1 hr = 3600 seconds so 1.5 hours = 5400 seconds
now we can plug it in and solve for the distance
distance = (5 m/s) * 5400 seconds
distance = 27000 m
now we have to convert meters to miles, so we divide our answer by 1609 and get 16.78
What two methods are the best choices to factor this expression 18x2-8
Answer:
Please check the explanation
Explanation:
The best two methods will be:
Factor by groupingFactor out the GCFFactor by grouping
Factor by grouping deals with establishing a smaller groups from each term.
[tex]18x^2=\:\left(2\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot x^2\right)[/tex]
[tex]8\:=\:\:2\cdot 2\cdot 2[/tex]
Therefore, the expression becomes
[tex]18x^2=\:\left(2\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot x^2\right)-\left(2\cdot \:2\cdot \:2\right)[/tex]
Now factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) which is 2

Answer:
Net force: 20 N to the right
mass of the bag: 20.489 kg
acceleration: 0.976 m/s^2
Explanation:
Since the normal force and the weight are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, they add up to zero in the vertical direction. In the horizontal direction, the 195 N tension to the right minus the 175 force of friction to the left render a net force towards the right of magnitude:
195 N - 175 N = 20 N
So net force on the bag is 20 N to the right.
The mass of the bag can be found using the value of the weight force: 201 N:
mass = Weight/g = 201 / 9.81 = 20.489 kg
and the acceleration of the bag can be found as the net force divided by the mass we just found:
acceleration = 20 N / 20.489 kg = 0.976 m/s^2

tension of 30 N, what is the maximum acceleration
you can give the fish as you reel it in?..*
(10 Points)
Enter your answer
Answer:
1.7333333m/s²
Explanation:
Tension of the line = the weight + force from pulling up the fish
30N = mg + ma
30 = (6)(9.8) + (6)a
10.4 = 6a
∴ a = 1.7333333m/s²
You are fishing and catch a fish with a mass of 6 kg. If the fishing line can withstand a maximum tension of 30 N, the maximum acceleration is 1.7333333 m/s².
What is acceleration?The rate at which an item changes its velocity is known as acceleration, a vector quantity. If an object's velocity is changing, it is acceleration.
Tension of the line = the weight + force from pulling up the fish
30 N = mg + ma
30 = (6)(9.8) + (6)a
10.4 = 6 a
a = 1.7333333 m/s²
You are fishing and catch a fish with a mass of 6 kg. If the fishing line can withstand a maximum tension of 30 N, the maximum acceleration is 1.7333333 m/s².

A 0.20-kg object is attached to the end of an ideal horizontal spring that has a spring constant of 120 N/m. The simple harmonic motion that occurs has a maximum speed of 0.70 m/s. Determine the amplitude A of the motion.
Answer:
The amplitude of the motion is 0.0286 m.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the object, m = 0.2 kg
spring constant, k = 120 N/m
maximum speed of the simple harmonic motion, [tex]V_m[/tex] = 0.70 m/s
The amplitude A of the motion is given by;
[tex]V_m = \omega A\\\\[/tex]
where;
ω is the angular velocity given as;
[tex]\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }\\\\\omega = \sqrt{\frac{120}{0.2} }\\\\\omega =24.5 \ rad/s[/tex]
Now, substitute the value of angular velocity and solve the amplitude;
[tex]V_m = \omega A\\\\A = \frac{V_m}{\omega}\\\\A = \frac{0.7}{24.5}\\\\A = 0.0286 \ m[/tex]
Therefore, the amplitude of the motion is 0.0286 m.

A runner taking part in the 200 m dash must run around the end of a track that has a circular arc with a radius of curvature of 50 m. If he completes the 200 m dash in 29.6 s and runs at constant speed throughout the race, what is the magnitude of his centripetal acceleration (in m/s2) as he runs the curved portion of the track?
Answer:
The centripetal acceleration of the runner as he runs the curved portion of the track is 0.91 m/s²
Explanation:
Given;
distance traveled in the given time = 200 m
time to cover the distance, t = 29.6 s
speed of the runner, v = d / t
v = 200 / 29.6
v = 6.757 m/s
The centripetal acceleration of the runner is given by;
[tex]a_c = \frac{V^2}{r}[/tex]
where;
r is the radius of the circular arc, given as 50 m
Substitute the givens;
[tex]a_c = \frac{V^2}{r}\\\\a_c = \frac{(6.757)^2}{50}\\\\a_c = 0.91 \ m/s^2[/tex]
Therefore, the centripetal acceleration of the runner as he runs the curved portion of the track is 0.91 m/s².
A rope is wrapped around the rim of a large uniform solid disk of mass 325 kg and radius 3.00 m. The horizontal disk is made to rotate by pulling on the rope with a constant force of 195 N. If the disk starts from rest, what is its angular speed in rev/s at the end of 2.05 s?
Answer:
The angular speed is 0.13 rev/s
Explanation:
From the formula
[tex]\tau = I\alpha[/tex]
Where [tex]\tau[/tex] is the torque
[tex]I[/tex] is the moment of inertia
[tex]\alpha[/tex] is the angular acceleration
But, the angular acceleration is given by
[tex]\alpha = \frac{\omega}{t}[/tex]
Where [tex]\omega[/tex] is the angular speed
and [tex]t[/tex] is time
Then, we can write that
[tex]\tau = \frac{I\omega}{t}[/tex]
Hence,
[tex]\omega = \frac{\tau t}{I}[/tex]
Now, to determine the angular speed, we first determine the Torque [tex]\tau[/tex] and the moment of inertia [tex]I[/tex].
Here, The torque is given by,
[tex]\tau = rF[/tex]
Where r is the radius
and F is the force
From the question
r = 3.00 m
F = 195 N
∴ [tex]\tau = 3.00 \times 195[/tex]
[tex]\tau = 585[/tex] Nm
For the moment of inertia,
The moment of inertia of the solid disk is given by
[tex]I = \frac{1}{2}MR^{2}[/tex]
Where M is the mass and
R is the radius
∴[tex]I = \frac{1}{2} \times 325 \times (3.00)^{2}[/tex]
[tex]I = 1462.5[/tex] kgm²
From the question, time t = 2.05 s.
Putting the values into the equation,
[tex]\omega = \frac{\tau t}{I}[/tex]
[tex]\omega = \frac{585 \times 2.05}{1462.5}[/tex]
[tex]\omega = 0.82[/tex] rad/s
Now, we will convert from rad/s to rev/s. To do that, we will divide our answer by 2π
0.82 rad/s = 0.82/2π rev/s
= 0.13 rev/s
Hence, the angular speed is 0.13 rev/s,
A guitar string produces 3 beats/s when sounded with a 352 Hz tuning fork and 8 beat/s when sounded with a 357 Hz tuning fork. What is the vibrational frequency (in Hz) of the string
Answer:
349 Hz
Explanation:
We are told that the guitar string produces 3 beats/s when sounded with a 352 Hz tuning fork and 8 beat/s when sounded with a 357 Hz tuning fork.
This means that for the 352 Hz tuning fork, the vibrational frequency is;
f = 352 ± 3
f = (352 + 3) or (352 - 3)
f = 355 Hz or 349Hz
For the 357 Hz tuning fork, the vibrational frequency is;
f = 357 ± 8
f = (357 + 8) or (357 - 8)
f = 365 Hz or 349 Hz
In both cases, 349 Hz is common;
Thus, the vibrational frequency of the string = 349 Hz
What specific changes in two climate variables are expected to lead to major decreases in soil moisture southern Africa and the Mediterranean region?
Answer:
Less precipitation, droughts9: How might agriculture in southern Europe change by the end of the century if conditions follow the RCP8.
Explanation:
Precipitation and droughts are the specific changes in two climate variables that are expected to lead to major decreases in soil moisture.
What is drought?
Drought is defined as a period of protracted water scarcity, whether it is due to atmospheric surface water, or groundwater constraints.
Droughts can last months or years, although they can be proclaimed in as little as 15 days.
It has the potential to have a significant influence on the afflicted region's ecology and agriculture as well as harm the local economy.

Complete question:
Resistor is made of a very thin metal wire that is 3.2 mm long, with a diameter of 0.4 mm. What is the electric field inside this metal resistor? If the potential difference due to electric field between the two ends of the resistor is 10 V.
Answer:
The electric field inside this metal resistor is 3125 V/m
Explanation:
Given;
length of the wire, L = 3.2 mm = 3.2 x 10⁻³ m
diameter of the wire, d = 0.4 mm = 0.4 x 10⁻³ m
the potential difference due to electric field between the two ends of the resistor, V = 10 V
The electric field inside this metal resistor is given by;
ΔV = EL
where;
ΔV is change in electric potential
E = ΔV / L
E = 10 / (3.2 x 10⁻³ )
E = 3125 V/m
Therefore, the electric field inside this metal resistor is 3125 V/m
