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

trons removed) to the east, what is the direction of the magnetic force on the object? 1. Toward the east 2. Upward 3. Toward the west 4. Downward

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!!!

romanna [79]

Answer:

a. 299,792,458 m/s

Explanation:

Since the speed of light in a vacuum is invariant and has the value of 299,792,458 m/s, we would measure this value of 299,792,458 m/s for the speed of light from the star as it arrives on Earth.

A certain quantity of steam has a temperature of 100.0 oC. To convert this steam into ice at 0.0 oC, energy in the form of heat
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

2452.79432 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of ice

L_s = Latent heat of steam

s_w = Specific heat of water

L_i = Latent heat of ice

v = Velocity of ice

\Delta T = Change in temperature

Amount of heat required for steam

Q_1=mL_s\\\Rightarrow Q_1=m(2.256\times 10^6)

Heat released from water at 100 °C

Q_2=ms_w\Delta T\\\Rightarrow Q_2=m4186\times (100-0)\\\Rightarrow Q_2=m0.4186\times 10^6

Heat released from water at 0 °C

Q_3=mL_i\\\Rightarrow Q_3=m(333.5\times 10^3)\\\Rightarrow Q_3=m(0.3335\times 10^6)

Total heat released is

Q=Q_1+Q_2+Q_3\\\Rightarrow Q=m(2.256\times 10^6)+m0.4186\times 10^6+m(0.3335\times 10^6)\\\Rightarrow Q=3008100m

The kinetic energy of the bullet will balance the heat

K=Q\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}mv^2=3008100m\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 3008100}\\\Rightarrow v=2452.79432\ m/s

The velocity of the ice would be 2452.79432 m/s

What are forces that two objects apply on each other
liq [111]
Answer: Whenever two objects are touching, they usually exert forces on each other. The force of gravity, on the other hand, is an example of a force that exists between objects without them having to be in contact. Objects with mass exert forces on each other via the force of gravity.
