The 500 m-long spaceship Springbrake is at rest on the planet Hitest for refueling. Another spaceship, Summerbrake, passes parallel to Springbrake at 0.600c. The crew on Springbrake measure the length of Summerbrake as it passes and find that the length they measure is exactly the same as the known 500 m rest length of Springbrake. If Summerbrake were at rest next to Springbrake, its length would
then be measured to be a. 180 m. b. 320 m. c. 500 m. d. 625 m. e. 781 m.
Two parallel wires carry currents in the same direction and exert a force on each of magnitude F for each meter of length. One of the currents is now reversed in direction and doubled in magnitude. What are the resulting magnitude for the force per meter of length and its direction relative to the wires?
1.2F, attractive 2.2F, repulsive 3.4F, attractive 4.4F, repulsive
