A transmission wire oriented parallel to the x-axis carries a current of 200 A flowing along the +x direction. A second transmission wire also oriented parallel to the x-axis but lying at a perpendicular distance of 1.30 m below the first wire carries a current of 215 A flowing along the +x direction. What is the magnitude of the total magnetic field at a point 2.3 m directly below a point midway between the two wires?

What is the direction of the net magnetic field?

QUESTION 1

Engineers wish to launch a satellite from the surface of the Moon. What is the minimum speed the satellite must have to escape the Moon’s gravity – that is, what is the escape velocity at the surface of the Moon? The Moon has a mass of 7.3x10^22 kg and a radius of 1.7x10^6 m.

a.

1700 m/s

5.7x10^6 m/s

d.

2400 m/s

QUESTION 2

The satellite is guided to a circular orbit about the Sun at the same distance from the Sun as the Earth (1.5x10^11 m), but far away from the Earth (so only the Sun’s gravity is important). What is the satellite’s gravitational acceleration due to the Sun, which has a mass of 2.0x10^30 kg?

a.

5.9 mm/s^2

b.

9.8 m/s^2

c.

8.9x10^8 m/s^2

d.

It depends on the mass of the satellite.

QUESTION 4

The satellite is guided to a circular orbit about the Sun at the same distance from the Sun as the Earth (1.5x10^11 m), but far away from the Earth (so only the Sun’s gravity is important). What is the satellite’s gravitational potential energy if it has a mass of 200 kg? The Sun has a mass of 2.0x10^30 kg.

QUESTION 5

The satellite is guided to a circular orbit about the Sun at the same distance from the Sun as the Earth (1.5x10^11 m), but far away from the Earth (so only the Sun’s gravity is important). The satellite is the stopped using orbital thrusters and allowed to fall to the Sun. What is the satellite’s speed when it reaches the surface of the Sun? The Sun has a mass of 2.0x10^30 kg and a radius of 7.0x10^8 m.

Hint: Use energy conservation. First consider the potential energy when it is at the Earth’s orbit, then equate this to the sum of the potential energy at the surface of the sun and the kinetic energy at the surface of the sun.

a.

It will be going infinitely fast.

b.

3.8x10^11 m/s

c.

4.4x10^5 m/s

Internal Resistance of a battery lab

I'm doing this lab where we have to find the internal resistance of a charged and uncharged battery. We got our data by plotting a V vs I graph, and found the internal resistance of each battery using the slopes of the graphs. From my graphs, I can see that the internal resistance of the charged battery is higher than that of the uncharged one. Which makes sense. However, I'm having a hard time writing the conclusion for this lab. The current increases as the voltage decreases for both batteries, which is obvious, what else am I supposed to say? Any comments I can add?

As observed on earth, a certain type of bacteria is known to double in number every 24 hours. Two cultures of these bacteria are prepared, each consisting initially of one bacterium. One culture is left on earth and the other placed on a rocket that travels at a speed of 0.746c relative to the earth. At a time when the earthbound culture has grown to 32 bacteria, how many bacteria are in the culture on the rocket, according to an earth-based observer? Please explain each step and use (delta)t = (delta)to/sqrt(1-(v^2/c^2))
