Position is measured in meters (m), so it is a base quantity.

<h3>What is base quantity?</h3>

A base or fundamental quantity is a physical quantity, in which other quantities are derived from.

Example of fundamental quantities;

Mass
Length (position)
Time
Temperature
Amount of substance

<h3>What is a derived quantity?</h3>

Derived quantities are those quantities obtained or expressed from fundamental quantities.

Example of derived quantities;

Speed
Acceleration
Volume
Area
Density, etc

Thus, we can conclude that position measured in meters (m) is a base quantity.

What is the strength of the electric field ep 0.90 mm from a proton?

dem82 [27]

The electric field strength is inversely related to the square of the distance.so the strength of the electric field is given by

$E=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _{0} } \frac{q}{r^{2} } = \frac{k q}{r^{2} }$

Here, $\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _{0} } = k$ is constant depend upon medium and its value is $9.0 \times10^{9} \ N m^2/C^2$ and q is charge and r is the distance.

Given $r = 0.90 mm = 9.0 \times 10^{-4} m$ and we know the charge of proton, $q = 1.6\times 10^{-19} \ C$ .

Therefore,

$E=\frac{9.0 \times10^{9} \ N m^2/C^2 \times1.6\times 10^{-19} \ C }{(9.0 \times 10^{-4} m)^2} = 0.177 \times 10^{-2} \ N/C \\\\ E= 1.77 \times 10^{-3} N/C$

An electron follows a helical path in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.340 T. The pitch of the path is 6.00 µm, and the m

dedylja [7]

Answer:

The electron's speed is 34007.35 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnetic field, B = 0.34 T

Magnetic force on the electron, $F=1.85\times 10^{-15}\ N$

The electron follows a helical path. We have to find the speed of an electron. The formula for magnetic force is given by :

$F=B\times q\times v$

q = charge on an electron, $q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

v = velocity of an electron

$v=\dfrac{F}{Bq}$

$v=\dfrac{1.85\times 10^{-15}\ N}{0.34\ T\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C}$

v = 34007.35 m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

a child drops a ball from a window. The ball strikes the ground in 3.0seconds. What is the velocity if the ball the instant befo

fredd [130]

Terminal velocity (Maximum velocity) is 9.8 meters a second. m/s.

If you wanted the exact answer, you would need the distance from the window to the ground; and than divide by 3.0. Otherwise, 9.8 meters a second would be your best bet.
