Answer:

Vector

Explanation:

Vector, in physics, a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. It is typically represented by an arrow whose direction is the same as that of the quantity and whose length is proportional to the quantity's magnitude.

Complete Question

An electron is accelerated by a 5.9 kV potential difference. das (sd38882) – Homework #9 – yu – (44120) 3 The charge on an electron is 1.60218 × 10−19 C and its mass is 9.10939 × 10−31 kg. How strong a magnetic field must be experienced by the electron if its path is a circle of radius 5.4 cm?

Answer:

The magnetic field strength is  B= 0.0048 T

Explanation:

The work done by the potential difference on the electron is related to the kinetic energy of the electron by this mathematical expression

                             \Delta V q = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

      Making v the subject

                             v = \sqrt{[\frac{2 \Delta V * q }{m}] }

 Where m is the mass of electron

              v is the velocity of electron

              q charge on electron

               \Delta V is the potential difference  

Substituting values

         v = \sqrt{\frac{2 * 5.9 *10^3 * 1.60218*10^{-19} }{9.10939 *10^{-31]} }f

            = 4.5556 *10^ {7} m/s

For the electron to move in a circular path the magnetic force[F = B q v] must be equal to the centripetal force[\frac{mv^2}{r}] and this is mathematically represented as

                  Bqv = \frac{mv^2}{r}

making B the subject

                B = \frac{mv}{rq}

r is the radius with a value = 5.4cm = = \frac{5.4}{100} = 5.4*10^{-2} m

Substituting values

                B = \frac{9.1039 *10^{-31} * 4.556 *10^7}{5.4*10^-2 * 1.60218*10^{-19}}

                     = 0.0048 T

A negatively charged particle is moving to the right, directly above a wire have a current flowing to the right. In which direct
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

C) upward

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using the right-hand rule.

First of all, we notice at the location of the negatively charged particle (above the wire), the magnetic field produced by the wire points out of the page (because the current is to the right, so by using the right hand, putting the thumb to the right (as the current) and wrapping the other fingers around it, we see that the direction of the field above the wire is out of the page).

Now we can apply the right hand rule to the charged particle:

- index finger: velocity of the particle, to the right

- middle finger: direction of the magnetic field, out of the page

- thumb: direction of the force, downward --> however, the charge is negative, so we must reverse the direction --> upward

Therefore, the direction of  the magnetic force is upward.

A bomb at rest at the origin of an xy-coordinate system explodes into three pieces. Just after the explosion, one piece, of mass
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) It is given that bomb was at rest initially , so ,  its momentum before the explosion was zero.

b ) We shall apply law of conservation of momentum along x and y direction separately because no external force acts on the bomb.

If v be the velocity of the third part along a direction making angle θ

with x axis ,

x component of v = vcosθ

So momentum along x axis  after explosion of third part   = mv cosθ

= 10 v cosθ

Momentum along x of first part = -  5 x 42 m/s

momentum of second part along x direction =0

total momentum along x direction before explosion = total momentum along x direction after explosion

0 = - 5 x 42 + 10 v cosθ

v cosθ = 21

Similarly

total momentum along y direction before explosion = total momentum along y direction after explosion

0 = - 5 x 38 +  10 v sinθ

v sinθ= 21

squaring and and then adding the above equation

v² cos²θ +v² sin²θ = 21² +19²

v² = 441 + 361

v = 28.31 m/s

Tanθ = 21 / 19

θ = 48°
