The magnetic field at the equator points north. If you throw a positively charged object (for example, a baseball with some elec

Answer:

The magnetic force points in the positive z-direction, which corresponds to the upward direction.

Option 2 is correct, the force points in the upwards direction.

Explanation:

The magnetic force on any charge is given as the cross product of qv and B

F = qv × B

where q = charge on the ball thrown = +q (Since it is positively charged)

v = velocity of the charged ball = (+vî) (velocity is in the eastern direction)

B = Magnetic field = (+Bj) (Magnetic field is in the northern direction; pointing forward)

F = qv × B = (+qvî) × (Bj)

F =

| î j k |

| qv 0 0|

| 0 B 0

F = i(0 - 0) - j(0 - 0) + k(qvB - 0)

F = (qvB)k N

The force is in the z-direction.

We could also use the right hand rule; if we point the index finger east (direction of the velocity), the middle finger northwards (direction of the magnetic field), the thumb points in the upward direction (direction of the magnetic force). Hence, the magnetic force is acting upwards, in the positive z-direction too.

Hope this Helps!!!

Answer:

The mass of the mud is 3040000 kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

length = 2.5 km

Width = 0.80 km

Height = 2.0 m

Length of valley = 0.40 km

Width of valley = 0.40 km

Density = 1900 Kg/m³

Area = 4.0 m²

We need to calculate the mass of the mud

Using formula of density

\rho=\dfrac{m}{V}

m=\rho\times V

Where, V = volume of mud

\rho = density of mud

Put the value into the formula

m=1900\times4.0\times0.40\times10^{3}

m =3040000\ kg

Hence, The mass of the mud is 3040000 kg.

A light, rigid rod is 55.8 cm long. Its top end is pivoted on a frictionless horizontal axle. The rod hangs straight down at res
VMariaS [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the principle of conservation of energy. For this purpose, potential energy is equivalent to kinetic energy, and this clearly depends on the position of the body. In turn, we also note that the height traveled is twice that of the rigid rod, therefore applying these concepts we will have

KE = PE

\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = mgh

v = \sqrt{2gh}

v = \sqrt{2(9.8)(2(55.8*10^{-2}))}

v = 4.67m/s

Therefore the minimum speed at the bottom is required to make the ball go over the top of the circle is 4.67m/s

choli [55]

Answer:

They can be seen from a distance of 4.372 kilometers.

Explanation:

Using the Reyligh creterion for diffraction through a circular aperture we have

\frac{x}{D}=\frac{1.22\lambda }{d}

where symbol's have their usual meaning

thus applying values we get

D=\frac{dx}{1.22\lambda }

\therefore D=\frac{0.633\times 4.61\times 10^{-3}}{1.22\times 547\times 10^{-9}}\\\\D=4372.77m\\=4.372km

Two angles are supplementary. The first angle measures 40°. What is the measurement of the second angle?
e-lub [12.9K]

Supplementary angles add up to 180°. 
If one is 40°, then the other is  (180° - 40°)  =  140° .

None of those choices describes a plane. 
Choice 'C' is the only example of a plane.
