This is a great problem if you like getting tied up in knots
and making smoke come out of your brain.

I found that it makes the problem a lot easier if I give the objects some
numbers. I'm going to say that the mass of Object 5 is 20 clods.

Let the mass of Mass of Object 5 be 20 clods .

Then . . .

-- The mass of Object 2 is double the mass of Object 5 = 40 clods.

-- The mass of Object 4 is half of the mass of Object 5 = 10 clods.
and
-- the mass of Object 3 is half of the mass of Object 4 = 5 clods.

So now, here are the masses:

Object #1 . . . . . unknown
Object #2 . . . . . 40 clods
Object #3 . . . . . 5 clods
Object #4 . . . . . 10 clods
Object #5 . . . . . 20 clods .

Now let's check out the statements, and see how they stack up:

Choice-A:
Object 3 and Object 5 exert the same gravitational force on Object 1.
Can't be.
Objects #3 and #5 have different masses, so they can't both
exert the same force on the same mass.

Choice-B.
Object 2 and Object 4 exert the same gravitational force on Object 1.
Can't be.
Objects #2 and #4 have different masses, so they can't both
exert the same force on the same mass.

Choice-C.
The gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 2 is greater than
the gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 4.
Yes ! Yay !
Object-2 has more mass than Object-4 has, so it must exert more force on
ANYTHING than Object-4 does, (as long as the distances are the same).

Choice-D.
The gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 3 is greater than the gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 5.
Can't be.
Object-3 has less mass than Object-5 has, so it must exert less force on
ANYTHING than Object-4 does, (as long as the distances are the same).

Conclusion:
If the DISTANCE is the same for all the tests, then Choice-C is
the only one that can be true.

A proton moves perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field B at a speed of 2.30 107 m/s and experiences an acceleration of 2.50 10
Katen [24]

Answer:

B = 6.18 10⁻⁶ T  

the magnetic field is in the negative direction of the y axis

Explanation:

The magnetic force is given by

         F = q v x B

as in the exercise indicate that the velocities perpendicular to the magnetic field,

         F = q v B

Newton's second law is

         F = m a

let's substitute

         q v B = m a

         B = m a / q v

let's calculate

         B = 9.1 10⁻³¹ 2.50 10¹³ / (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 2.30 10⁷)

         B = 6.18 10⁻⁶ T

The direction of the field can be obtained with the right hand rule, where the thumb points in the direction of the velocity, the fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field and the palm in the direction of the force for a positive charge.

In the exercise indicate that the velocity is the z axis

the acceleration and therefore the force in the x axis

therefore the magnetic field is in the negative direction of the y axis

Calculation using Ohm's Law: If a circuit has a voltage of 500 V and a resistance of 250 ohms, what is the current?
konstantin123 [22]

I = V / R

Current = (voltage) / (resistance)

Current = (500 V) / (250 ohms)

Current = (500/250) Amperes

<em>Current = 2 Amperes</em>

Lab: newton's laws of motion assignment: lab report
poizon [28]

Newton's motion laws state that if an object is at rest or in movement, it will tend to maintain its basal state.

<h3>What are Newton's motion laws?</h3>

Newton's motion laws are a set of scientific statements aimed at explaining the physical property of movement.

These laws explain why objects in movement tend to maintain the same velocity for a short period of time.

In conclusion, Newton's motion laws state that if an object is at rest or in movement, it will tend to maintain its basal state.
