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

Help with either I don’t understand this I know W=f*d but don’t get how it applies here

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

5) Displacement = +3.125 m

Displacement is in the same direction as the force vector.

6) Force = -53.89 N

Force is in an opposite direction relative to the displacement.

Explanation:

5) We are given;

Force; F = 160 N.

Workdone; W = +500 J

Now, formula for workdone is;

W = Force × displacement

Thus, displacement = Work/force

Displacement = 500/160

Displacement = +3.125 m

Thus, displacement is in the same direction as the force vector.

6) We are given;

Displacement; d = 18 m.

Workdone; W = -970 J

Like in the first answer above,

Workdone = Force × Displacement

Thus;

Force = Workdone/Displacement

Force = -970/18

Force = -53.89 N

Since force is negative and displacement is positive, it means force is in an opposite direction relative to the displacement.

<span>The magnitude of the rock is equal to g. After the rock is released, there are no more forces acting on it, yet gravity remains. The initial inputs, on a bridge, at an angle of 30 deg below horizontal do not matter after the release.</span>

Mass, volume and density are all properties of

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Properties of matter

Explanation:

All properties of matter are either extensive or intensive and either physical or chemical. Extensive properties, such as mass and volume, depend on the amount of matter that is being measured. Intensive properties, such as density and color, do not depend on the amount of matter.
