Explanation As the daughter and father are pushing each other in the opposite direction, so the horizontal force acting on the father equals to the daughter. Thus, by using Newton’s third law of motion, they exert equal and opposite horizontal force as there is no external force acting on the father and the daughter. By the conservation of the momentum, the father and daughter have equal momentum as given below: P daughter = P father The momentum is a pr

The drawing shows two long, straight wires that are suspended from the ceiling. The mass per unit length of each wire is 0.050 kg/m. Each of the four strings suspending the wires has a length of 1.2 m. When the wires carry identical currents in opposite directions, the angle between the strings holding the two wires is 20°. (a) Draw the free-body diagram showing the forces that act on the right wire with respect to the x axis. Account for each of the strings separately. (b) What is the current in each wire? 1.2 m 20° I -20° 1.2 m
