A rectangular loop of wire is placed above a long straight wire with decreasing current. If the current in the wire moves from as specified by the diagram I drew below what will be the direction of current in the loop. I thought that the current in the loop would move counterclockwise. I...

ok thank you all for the help. i understand what i was doing wrong.

well i fixed A and C to being the same positive values and I still do not get the right answer. A: 25j B: 22.6924i -7.813636j C: 5.5 j Distance= sqrt ((22.6924^2)+(22.6863^2)

Ok thank you.. makes sense.. Did I do everything else right though??

Ok am I doing this right? Vector A: -25j Vector B: 22.69i -7.8136j Vector C: 5.5j Vector D= 22.69i -27.3136j sqrt((22.69^2 )+ (-27.3136^2))= Distance

Oasis B is 25 km due east of oasis A. Starting from oasis A, a camel walks 24 km in a direction 19° south of east and then walks 5.5 km due north. How far is the camel then from oasis B? For this problem I tried to set 3 different vectors. I named the vector A,B,C. Two of the vectors had...

A person walks in the following pattern: 6.6 km north, then 3.0 km west, and finally 7.0 km south. How far and in what direction would a bird fly in a straight line from the same starting point to the same final point? I found that the distance would be 3.02 km. My problem is trying to find...

hmmm I am not sure... this is a very confusing problem that the teacher has asked us!

Thank you.. I actually copied down the wrong number when I inputed the answer. I got 19988N as my answer but that is not correct. My friend came up with the same result too and both of us are scratching our heads because we are not sure why it is not the correct answer. I was thinking that...

A 68 kg man drops to a concrete patio from a window only 0.60 m above the patio. He neglects to bend his knees on landing, taking 2.0 cm to stop. What is the magnitude of the average stopping force? -From this problem I have already found that the average acceleration is 293.95 m/s^2. I tried...
