<span> (a) does an electric field exert a force on a stationary charged object? 
Yes. The force exerted by an electric field of intensity E on an object with charge q is
</span>F=qE
<span>As we can see, it doesn't depend on the speed of the object, so this force acts also when the object is stationary.

</span><span>(b) does a magnetic field do so?
No. In fact, the magnetic force exerted by a magnetic field of intensity B on an object with  charge q and speed v is
</span>F=qvB \sin \theta
where \theta is the angle between the direction of v and B.
As we can see, the value of the force F depends on the value of the speed v: if the object is stationary, then v=0, and so the force is zero as well.

<span>(c) does an electric field exert a force on a moving charged object? 
Yes, The intensity of the electric force is still
</span>F=qE
<span>as stated in point (a), and since it does not depend on the speed of the charge, the electric force is still present.

</span><span>(d) does a magnetic field do so?
</span>Yes. As we said in point b, the magnetic force is
F=qvB \sin \theta
And now the object is moving with a certain speed v, so the magnetic force F this time is different from zero.

<span>(e) does an electric field exert a force on a straight current-carrying wire?
Yes. A current in a wire consists of many charges traveling through the wire, and since the electric field always exerts a force on a charge, then the electric field exerts a force on the charges traveling through the wire.

</span><span>(f) does a magnetic field do so? 
Yes. The current in the wire consists of charges that are moving with a certain speed v, and we said that a magnetic field always exerts a force on a moving charge, so the magnetic field is exerting a magnetic force on the charges that are traveling through the wire.

</span><span>(g) does an electric field exert a force on a beam of moving electrons?
Yes. Electrons have an electric charge, and we said that the force exerted by an electric field is
</span>F=qE
<span>So, an electric field always exerts a force on an electric charge, therefore on an electron beam as well.

</span><span>(h) does a magnetic field do so?
Yes, because the electrons in the beam are moving with a certain speed v, so the magnetic force
</span>F=qvB \sin \theta
<span>is different from zero because v is different from zero.</span>

True or false<br> Hydrogen fuel cells generate electricity by combining hydrogen with oxygen.
adoni [48]

Answer:

The answer is: True.

Explanation:

If free electrons or other substances could travel through the electrolyte, they would disrupt the chemical reaction. Whether they combine at anode or cathode, together hydrogen and oxygen form water, which drains from the cell. As long as a fuel cell is supplied with hydrogen and oxygen, it will generate electricity.

A force of 6 N acts on a 33 kg object for 9 seconds. What is the objects change in velocity?
GuDViN [60]
Acceleration = change in velocity/time
By F = ma,
6 = 33 x change in velocity / 9
change in velocity = +1.636 m/s
