Homework Statement This isn't a homework problem with variables and numbers; it is a concept question: An airplane is flying west in level flight over Massachusetts, where the Earth’s magnetic field is directed downward below the horizontal in a northerly direction. As a result of the...

Homework Statement A long, straight wire carries a current of 14 A. Next to the wire is a square loop with sides 1.0m in length. The loop carries a current of 2.5A in the same direction as the wire. Calculate the net force acting on the wire. Homework Equations Magnetic Field for...

Yes it does...I get it now, thank you!

What should I do with that position? Should I add it to the new radius I get?

It starts at 0,0.

Homework Statement A charge of 2.9*10^-6C is held fixed at the origin. A second charge of 2.9*10^-6 C is released from rest at the position (1.15m, 0.550m). And the mass of the second charge is 2.10 g. At what distance from the origin does the 2.9*10^-6 charge attain half the speed it will...

Homework Statement I'm having trouble understand why I'm getting the following question wrong: a uniform electric field of magnitude of 6.0*10^5 N/C points in the positive x direction. Part A) Find the change in electric potential between the origin and the point (0, 6.0m) . Homework...

Homework Statement The electric field at the point x=5.0cm and y=0 points in the positive x direction with a magnitude of 10.0N/C. At the point x=10.0cm and y=0, the electric field points in the positive x direction with a magnitude of 16.0 N/C. Assume this electric field is produced by a...

I got a pretty big number (a number times 10^8). That seems too big??

Homework Statement The figure shows a system consisting of three charges, q1=+5.0uC, q2=+5.0uC and q3=-5.0uC, at the vertices of an equilateral triangle (with q2 at the top point of the triangle). Find the magnitude of the electric field at a point halfway between the charges q1 and q2...

If I assume that this is at a constant pressure ∆U= 3/2nR∆T?, but since W=P∆V=nR∆T then ∆U= 3/2W?

Homework Statement A monatomic ideal gas expands at a pressure of 110kPa and from a volume of 0.75m^3 to 0.93m^3. Find the amount of heat added to the gas. Homework Equations So what I did was: W= P∆V and I know ∆U= Q-W so Q would equal ∆U+W, but how do you know what ∆U equals...

Homework Statement A 150g aluminum cylinder is removed from a liquid nitrogen bath, where it has been cooled to -196 degrees C. The cylinder is immediately placed in an insulated cup containing 60.0g of water at 15.0 degrees C. What is the equilibrium temperature of the system? Homework...

Homework Statement A hole in an aluminum plate has a diameter of 1.179 cm at 22.00 degrees Celsius. Part A asks for the diameter of the hole at 199 degrees Celsius.? Part B asks for the temperature of the hole when its diameter is 1.177 cm? Homework Equations ∆L = alpha L(0) ∆T...

Thank you so much for helping me understand that problem
