Two long, parallel wires carry currents of I₁ = 2.70 A and I2 = 4.85 A in the directions indicated in the figure below, where d = 22.0 cm. (Take the positive x direction to be to the right.) 12 (a) Find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at a point midway between the wires. magnitude direction 3.91 270 μπ ⚫ counterclockwise from the +x axis (b) Find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at point P, located d = 22.0 cm above the wire carrying the 4.85-A current. magnitude direction Your response differs significantly from the correct answer. Rework your solution from the beginning and check each step carefully. μT The response you submitted has the wrong sign.° counterclockwise from the +x axis
O Macmillan Learning The mass of a particular eagle is twice that of a hunted pigeon. Suppose the pigeon is flying north at Vi2 = 16.1 m/s when the eagle swoops down, grabs the pigeon, and flies off. At the instant right before the attack, the eagle is flying toward the pigeon at an angle 0 = 64.3° below the horizontal and a speed of Vi,1 = 37.9 m/s. What is the speed of of the eagle immediately after it catches its prey? What is the magnitude & of the angle, measured from horizontal, at which the eagle is flying immediately after the strike? Uf = II x10 TOOLS Vi.1 Vi,2 m/s
What is the equivalent resistance if you connect a 1.7 Ohm, a 9.3 Ohm, and a 22 Ohm resistor in series? (Give your answer as the number of Ohms.)
