Answer:
The magnitude of the magnetic field is 1.83 x [tex]10^{-5}[/tex] T.
Explanation:
The flow of an electric current in a straight wire induces magnetic field around the wire. When current is flowing through two wires in the same direction, a force of attraction exists between the wires. But if the current flows in opposite directions, the force of repulsion is felt by the wires.
In the given question, the direction of flow of current through the wires is opposite, thus both wires applies the same field on each other. The result to repulsion between them.
The magnetic field (B) between the given wires can be determined by:
B = [tex]\frac{U_{o}I }{2\pi r}[/tex]
where: I is the current, r is the distance between the wires and [tex]U_{0}[/tex] is the magnetic field constant.
But, I = 11 A, r = 0.12 m and [tex]U_{0}[/tex] = 4[tex]\pi[/tex] x [tex]10^{-7}[/tex] Tm/A
So that;
B = [tex]\frac{4\pi *10^{-7}*11 }{2\pi *0.12}[/tex]
= 1.8333 x [tex]10^{-5}[/tex]
B = 1.83 x [tex]10^{-5}[/tex] T

3. If you change the resistance of the resistor:
a. How does the current through the circuit change? (answer, explain, evidence)
b. How does the voltage of the battery change? (answer, explain, evidence)
Answer:
Explanation:
Changing the resistance of a resistor means the resistance is either increased or decreased.
a. When the resistance of the resistor is increased, the value of current flowing through the circuit decreases.
Example: given voltage of 6V, and a resistance of 30 Ohm's. The value of current flowing in the circuit is;
V = IR
6 = I x 30
I = 0.2 A
If the resistance is changed to 50 Ohm's, then:
I = 0.12 A
(ii) When the resistance of the resistor is decreased, the value of the current flowing through the circuit increases.
In the previous example, if the resistance is changed to 5 Ohm's, then:
V = IR
6 = I x 5
I = 1.2 A
(b) The voltage of the battery does not change since it is directly proportional to the current flowing through the circuit. Consider the examples stated above.
The mass is released from the top of the incline and slides down the incline. The maximum velocity (taken the instant before the mass reaches the bottom of the incline) is 1.06 m/s. What is the kinetic energy at that time
Answer:
0.28 J
Explanation:
Let the mass of the object is 0.5 kg
The maximum velocity of the object is 1.06 m/s.
We need to find the kinetic energy at that time. It is given by :
[tex]K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.5\times (1.06)^2\\\\K=0.28\ J[/tex]
So, the required kinetic energy is equal to 0.28 J.

What distance do I cover if I travel 10 m E, then 6 mW, then 12 m E?
A. 16 m
B. 28 m
C. 16 m E
D. 28 m E
Answer:
C. 16 m E
Explanation:
Applying,
The law of addition of vector: Vector in the same direction are added while vector in opposite direction are substracted
From the question above,
Step 1: Total distance covered towards east = 10+12 = 22 m E
Step2: Total distance covered towards west = 6 m W
Therefore, the resultant distance traveled = 22-6 = 16 m E
Hence the right option is C. 16 m E
Put the balloon near (BUT NOT TOUCHING) the wall. Leave about as much space as the width of your pinky finger between the balloon and wall. Does the balloon move, if so which way
Answer:
Move towards the wall.
Explanation:
When the balloon is kept near to the wall not touching the wall, there is a force of electrostatic attraction so that the balloon moves towards the wall and stick to it.
As there is some charge on the balloon and the wall is uncharged so the force is there due to which the balloon moves towards the wall.
Explain how the gravitational force between the earth and the sun changes as the earth moves from position A to B as shown in the figure. Sun Earth at position B Earth at position A
Answer:
The distance between sun & Earth at position A is less than the earth at position B. The gravitational force of two bodies is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. So At position A gravitational force is more & it decreases as it rotate towards position B.
If you tethered a space station to the earth by a long cable, you could get to space in an elevator that rides up the cable much simpler and cheaper than riding to space on a rocket. There's one big problem, however: There is no way to create a cable that is long enough. The cable would need to reach 36,000 km upward, to the height where a satellite orbits at the same speed as the earth rotates; a cable this long made of ordinary materials couldn't even support its own weight. Consider a steel cable suspended from a point high above the earth. The stress in the cable is highest at the top; it must support the weight of cable below it.
What is the greatest length the cable could have without failing?
Answer:
[tex]l=12916.5m[/tex]
Explanation:
Distance [tex]d=3600km[/tex]
Since
Density of steel [tex]\rho=7900kg/m^3[/tex]
Stress of steel [tex]\mu= 1*10^9[/tex]
Generally the equation for Stress on Cable is mathematically given by
[tex]S=\frac{F}{A}[/tex]
[tex]S=\frac{\rho Alg}{A}[/tex]
Therefore
[tex]l=\frac{s}{\rhog}[/tex]
[tex]l=\frac{ 1*10^9}{7900kg/m^3*9.8}[/tex]
[tex]l=12916.5m[/tex]

Answer:
So the correct answer is letter e)
Explanation:
The electric field of an infinite yz-plane with a uniform surface charge density (σ) is given by:
[tex]E=\frac{\sigma }{2\epsilon_{0}}[/tex]
Where ε₀ is the electric permitivity.
As we see, this electric field does not depend on distance, so the correct answer is letter e)

What is the angular velocity of this person? c) What is the rotational kinetic energy at this speed? d) A motor takes 10 seconds to accelerate the wheel from rest to a linear velocity on the circumference of 3 m/s. What is the power of the motor?
Answer:
a) I = 3.75 10⁴ kg m², b) w = 0.6 rad / s, c) K = 6.75 10³ J, d) P = 6.75 10² W
Explanation:
This is a rotations exercise
a) the proper shape for a wheel is that of a rim where most of the weight is in the circumference plus the point weights of the people sitting on its periphery.
We are going to approximate the reda with a thin ring
I = M r²
I = 1500 5²
I = 3.75 10⁴ kg m²
b) angular and linear velocity are related
v = w r
w = v / r
w = 3/5
w = 0.6 rad / s
c) the expression for kinetic energy is
K = ½ I w²
K = ½ 3.75 10⁴ 0.6²
K = 6.75 10³ J
d) the power is
P = W / t
to find the work we use the relationship between work and the variation of kinetic energy
W = ΔK = K_f - K₀
the system part of rest wo = 0
W = K_f
W = 6.75 10³ J
we calculate
P = 6.75 10³/10
P = 6.75 10² W

A 2.0-kg block sliding on a rough horizontal surface is attached to one end of a horizontal spring (k = 250 N/m) which has its other end fixed. The block passes through the equilibrium position with a speed of 2.6 m/s and first comes to rest at a displacement of 0.20 m from equilibrium. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the horizontal surface?
Suppose the spring begins in a compressed state, so that the block speeds up from rest to 2.6 m/s as it passes through the equilibrium point, and so that when it first comes to a stop, the spring is stretched 0.20 m.
There are two forces performing work on the block: the restoring force of the spring and kinetic friction.
By the work-energy theorem, the total work done on the block between the equilbrium point and the 0.20 m mark is equal to the block's change in kinetic energy:
[tex]W_{\rm total}=\Delta K[/tex]
or
[tex]W_{\rm friction}+W_{\rm spring}=0-K=-K[/tex]
where K is the block's kinetic energy at the equilibrium point,
[tex]K=\dfrac12\left(2.0\,\mathrm{kg}\right)\left(2.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=6.76\,\mathrm J[/tex]
Both the work done by the spring and by friction are negative because these forces point in the direction opposite the block's displacement. The work done by the spring on the block as it reaches the 0.20 m mark is
[tex]W_{\rm spring}=-\dfrac12\left(250\dfrac{\rm N}{\rm m}\right)(0.20\,\mathrm m)^2=-5.00\,\mathrm J[/tex]
Compute the work performed by friction:
[tex]W_{\rm friction}-5.00\,\mathrm J=-6.76\,\mathrm J \implies W_{\rm friction}=-1.76\,\mathrm J[/tex]
By Newton's second law, the net vertical force on the block is
∑ F = n - mg = 0 ==> n = mg
where n is the magnitude of the normal force from the surface pushing up on the block. Then if f is the magnitude of kinetic friction, we have f = µmg, where µ is the coefficient of kinetic friction.
So we have
[tex]W_{\rm friction}=-f(0.20\,\mathrm m)[/tex]
[tex]\implies -1.76\,\mathrm J=-\mu\left(2.0\,\mathrm{kg}\right)\left(9.8\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(0.20\,\mathrm m)[/tex]
[tex]\implies \boxed{\mu\approx0.45}[/tex]
The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the horizontal surface [tex]\mu =0.45[/tex]
What is coefficient of friction?Coefficient of friction, ratio of the frictional force resisting the motion of two surfaces in contact to the normal force pressing the two surfaces together. It is usually symbolized by the Greek letter mu (μ). Mathematically, μ = F/N, where F is the frictional force and N is the normal force.
Suppose the spring begins in a compressed state, so that the block speeds up from rest to 2.6 m/s as it passes through the equilibrium point, and so that when it first comes to a stop, the spring is stretched 0.20 m.
There are two forces performing work on the block: the restoring force of the spring and kinetic friction.
By the work-energy theorem, the total work done on the block between the equilbrium point and the 0.20 m mark is equal to the block's change in kinetic energy:
[tex]W_{total}=\Delta K[/tex]
or
[tex]W_{friction}+W_{spring}=0-K=-K[/tex]
where K is the block's kinetic energy at the equilibrium point,
[tex]K=\dfrac{1}{2}(2)(2.6)^2=6.76 \ J[/tex]
Both the work done by the spring and by friction are negative because these forces point in the direction opposite the block's displacement. The work done by the spring on the block as it reaches the 0.20 m mark is
[tex]W_{spring}=-\dfrac{1}{2}(250)(0.20)=-5\ J[/tex]
Compute the work performed by friction:
[tex]W_{friction}-5 =-6.76\ J=-1.76\ J[/tex]
By Newton's second law, the net vertical force on the block is
∑ F = n - mg = 0 ==> n = mg
where n is the magnitude of the normal force from the surface pushing up on the block. Then if f is the magnitude of kinetic friction, we have f = µmg, where µ is the coefficient of kinetic friction.
So we have
[tex]W_{friction}=-f(0.20)[/tex]
[tex]-1.76=\mu (2)(9.8)(0.2)[/tex]
[tex]\mu =0.45[/tex]
Thus the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the horizontal surface [tex]\mu =0.45[/tex]

Quantum theory gives the concept of
A driver who does not wear a seat belt continues to move at the initial velocity until she or he hits something solid (e.g the steering wheel) and then comes to rest in a very short distance. Find the net force on a driver without seat belts who comes to rest in 1.1 cm. Fwithout belt
This question is incomplete, the complete question is;
Seatbelts provide two main advantages in a car accident (1) they keep you from being thrown from the car and (2) they reduce the force that acts on your during the collision to survivable levels. This second benefit can be illustrated by comparing the net force encountered by a driver in a head-on collision with and without a seat beat.
1) A driver wearing a seat beat decelerates at roughly the same rate as the car it self. Since many modern cars have a "crumble zone" built into the front of the car, let us assume that the car decelerates of a distance of 1.1 m. What is the net force acting on a 70 kg driver who is driving at 18 m/sec and comes to rest in this distance?
Fwith belt =
2) A driver who does not wear a seat belt continues to move at the initial velocity until she or he hits something solid (e.g the steering wheel) and then comes to rest in a very short distance. Find the net force on a driver without seat belts who comes to rest in 1.1 cm.
Fwithout belt =
Answer:
1) The Net force on the driver with seat belt is 10.3 KN
2) the Net force on the driver without seat belts who comes to rest in 1.1 cm is 1030.9 KN
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
from the equation of motion, v² = u² + 2as
we solve for a
a = (v² - u²)/2s ----- let this be equation 1
we know that, F = ma ------- let this be equation 2
so from equation 1 and 2
F = m( (v² - u²)/2s )
where m is mass, a is acceleration, u is initial velocity, v is final velocity and s is the displacement.
1)
Wearing sit belt, car decelerates of a distance of 1.1 m. What is the net force acting on a 70 kg driver who is driving at 18 m/sec and comes to rest in this distance.
i.e, m = 70 kg, u = 18 m/s, v = 0 { since it came to rest }, s = 1.1 m
so we substitute the given values into the equation;
F = 70( ((0)² - (18)²) / 2 × 1.1 )
F = 70 × ( -324 / 2.4 )
F = 70 × -147.2727
F = -10309.09 N
F = -10.3 KN
The negative sign indicates that the direction of the force is opposite compared to the direction of the motion.
Fwith belt = 10.3 KN
Therefore, Net force of the driver is 10.3 KN
2)
No sit belt,
m = 70 kg, u = 18 m/s, v = 0 { since it came to rest }, s = 1.1 cm = 1.1 × 10⁻² m
we substitute
F = 70( ((0)² - (18)²) / 2 × 1.1 × 10⁻² )
F = 70 × ( -324 / 0.022 )
F = 70 × -14727.2727
F = -1030909.08 N
F = -1030.9 KN
The negative sign indicates that the direction of the force is opposite compared to the direction of the motion.
Fwithout belt = 1030.9 KN
Therefore, the net force on the driver without seat belts who comes to rest in 1.1 cm is 1030.9 KN

b. The stream of water flowing through a hole at depth h = 10 cm in a tank holding water to height H = 40 cm. . 3 At what distance x does the stream strike the floor?
Answer:
34.64 cm
Explanation:
Given that:
The depth of the hole h = 10 cm
height of the water holding in the tank H = 40 cm
For a stream of flowing water, the distance (x) at which the stream strikes the floor can be computed by using the formula;
[tex]x = 2 \sqrt{h(H-h)}[/tex]
[tex]x = 2 \sqrt{10(40-10)}[/tex]
[tex]x = 2 \sqrt{10(30)}[/tex]
[tex]x = 2 \sqrt{300}[/tex]
[tex]x = 2 \times 17.32[/tex]
x = 34.64 cm

(a) What is the work done by the field on the electron? 1.753e-18 J (b) What is the change in potential energy associated with the electron? J
Answer:
a) W = - 1.752 10⁻¹⁸ J, b) U = + 1.752 10⁻¹⁸ J
Explanation:
a) work is defined by
W = F . x
the bold letters indicate vectors, in this case the force is electric
F = q E
we substitute
F = q E x
the charge of the electron is
q = - e
F = - e E x
let's calculate
W = - 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 365 3 10⁻²
W = - 1.752 10⁻¹⁸ J
b) the change in potential energy is
U = q ΔV
the potential difference is
ΔV = - E. Δs
we substitute
U = - q E Δs
the charge of the electron is
q = - e
U = e E Δs
we calculate
U = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 365 3 10⁻²
U = + 1.752 10⁻¹⁸ J
