Answer

When you are riding in a coaster car that is traveling at a constant speed, you only feel the downward force of gravity. But as the car speeds up or slows down, you feel pressed against your seat or the restraining bar. You feel this force because your inertia is separate from that of the coaster car.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that as you are pushed down, further and further in your seat, the seat is pushing back at you.

A uniform electric field of magnitude 144 kV/m is directed upward in a region of space. A uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.
snow_lady [41]

Complete Question

A uniform electric field of magnitude 144 kV/m is directed upward in a region of space. A uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.38 T perpendicular to the electric field also exists in this region. A beam of positively charged particles travels into the region. Determine the speed of the particles at which they will not be deflected by the crossed electric and magnetic fields. (Assume the beam of particles travels perpendicularly to both fields.)

Answer:

The velocity is  v =  3.79 *10^{5} \ m/s  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  magnitude of the electric field is  E  =  144 \ kV /m   =  144*10^{3} \  V/m

     The magnetic field is  B  =  0.38 \ T

   

The force due to the electric field is mathematically represented as

      F_e =  E  * q

and

The force due to the magnetic field is mathematically represented as

    F_b  =  q * v  *  B * sin(\theta )

Now given that it is perpendicular ,  \theta  = 90

=>   F_b  =  q * v  *  B * sin(90)

=>   F_b  =  q * v  *  B

Now  given that it is not deflected it means that

        F_ e  =  F_b

=>    q *  E = q *  v  * B

=>   v =  \frac{E}{B }

 substituting values

     v =  \frac{ 144 *10^{3}}{0.38 }

     v =  3.79 *10^{5} \ m/s

Jose is batting for the home team when he hits a foul ball that rises straight up over home plate. A fan in the stands notices t
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

<h3><em>28.01m/s.</em></h3>

Explanation:

Given maximum height reached by the ball as H = 40 metres

Since the ball rises straight up when hit by a ball, then the angle of launch will be perpendicular to the ground and that is 90°.

To determine the upward speed of the ball in meters per second after it got struck by the bat, we will use the formula for calculating the maximum height according to projectile motion;

Maximum Height H = \frac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g} where;

u is the speed of the ball

\theta is the angle of launch

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

Substituting the given parameters into the formula;

40 = \frac{u^2sin^2(90)}{2(9.81)}\\ \\40 = \frac{u^2}{2(9.81)}\\ \\40 = \frac{u^2}{19.62} \\cross\ multiply\\\\u^2 = 40*19.62\\u^2 = 784.8\\u = \sqrt{784.8}\\ u = 28.01 m/s

<em>Hence the upward speed of the ball in meters per second after it got struck by the bat is 28.01m/s.</em>
