Magnetic force on a loop of wire

A long, straight wire carries a current of 10 A to the left. Next to the wire is a square loop with sides 1.0 m in length, as shown below. The loop carries a current of 2.5 A in the direction indicated. (See attachment for diagram) (a) What is the direction of the net force exerted on the loop? away from the wire t ...continues

Electric current and magnetism

I've attached a description of the problem. I just don't understand what it is asking. --- 5. Two long, straight wires are oriented perpendicular to the computer screen, as shown below, in which L = 4.5 cm. The current in one wire is I1 = 3.1 A, pointing into the screen, and the current in the other wire is I2 = 4.0 A, poin ...continues

Object frequency:

Two trains on separate but parallel tracks are moving in the same direction. The fast train is moving 200 km/h and the slower train is moving 100 km/h. The slow train blows its horn with a frequency of 600 Hz. Determine the frequency the faster train hears as it approaches the slower train from behind. Determine the frequency th ...continues

Find noise from a helicopter rotor

The noise from a helicopter rotor is distributed equally in all directions. If the rotor generates 70 watts of sound power, find the intensity level of the sound in dB on the ground directly beneath the helicopter when its altitude is 120 m. Also find the altitude in meters for the sound to be reduced to 60 dB at the same locati ...continues

Wave pattern

A pipe that is closed at one end is 0.5 meters long at 25o C. Sketch the standing wave pattern (loops with nodes and antinodes) for these three cases: (attached picture file) What is the wavelength of the 2nd overtone? If the air in the pipe is also at 25o C, what is the frequency of the 2nd overtone?
