Answer:

toward the center

Explanation:

Before answering, let's remind the first two Newton Laws:

1) An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object moving at constant velocity tends to continue its motion at constant velocity, unless acted upon a net force

2) An object acted upon a net force F experiences an acceleration a according to the equation

F=ma

where m is the mass of the object.

In this problem, we have an object travelling at constant speed in a circular path. The fact that the trajectory of the object is circular means that the direction of motion of the object is constantly changing: this means that its velocity is changing, so it has an acceleration. And therefore, a net force is acting on it. The force that keeps the object travelling in the circular path is called centripetal force, and it is directed towards the center of the circle (because it prevents the object from continuing its motion straight away).

So, the correct answer is

toward the center

In a mass spectrometer a particle of mass m and charge q is accelerated through a potential difference V and allowed to enter a
Ghella [55]

Answer:

m = B²qR² / 2 V

Explanation:

If v be the velocity after acceleration under potential difference of V

kinetic energy  = loss of electric potential energy

1/2 m v² = Vq ,

v² = 2 Vq / m ----------------------- ( 1 )

In magnetic field , charged particle comes in circular motion in which magnetic force provides centripetal force

magnetic force = centripetal force

Bqv = mv² / R

v = BqR / m

v² = B²q²R² / m²  ------------------------- (2)

from (1) and (2)

B²q²R² / m²  = 2 Vq / m

m = B²q²R² / 2 Vq

m = B²qR² / 2 V

An 100W light bulb is on 6 hours work out the energy (kWh) used and the cost of it (1kWh = £0.1359) with working out please
Ainat [17]
1,000 W  =  1 kW
100 W  =  0.1 kW

           (0.1 kW) x (6 h) = 0.6 kWh    <=== energy

           (0.6 kWh) x (£0.1359/kWh)  =  £0.0815     <=== cost of it
