The electrons in the beam of a television tube have a kinetic energy of 2.20 10-15 j. initially, the electrons move horizontally

from west to east. the vertical component of the earth's magnetic field points down, toward the surface of the earth, and has a magnitude of 3.00 10-5 t. (a) in what direction are the electrons deflected by this field component? due north due south due east due west (b) what is the magnitude of the acceleration of an electron in part (a)? m/s2

(a) The electrons move horizontally from west to east, while the magnetic field is directed downward, toward the surface. We can determine the direction of the force on the electron by using the right-hand rule:
- index finger: velocity --> due east
- middle finger: magnetic field --> downward
- thumb: force --> due north
However, we have to take into account that the electron has negative charge, therefore we have to take the opposite direction: so, the magnetic force is directed southwards, and the electrons are deflected due south.

b) From the kinetic energy of the electrons, we can find their velocity by using
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where K is the kinetic energy, m the electron mass and v their velocity. Re-arranging the formula, we find
v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 2.20 \cdot 10^{-15} J}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg} }=6.95 \cdot 10^7 m/s

The Lorentz force due to the magnetic field provides the centripetal force that deflects the electrons:
qvB = m \frac{v^2}{r}
where
q is the electron charge
v is the speed
B is the magnetic field strength
m is the electron mass
r is the radius of the trajectory
By re-arranging the equation, we find the radius r:
r= \frac{mv}{qB}= \frac{(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg)(6.95 \cdot 10^7 m/s)}{(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C)(3.00 \cdot 10^{-5} T)}=13.18 m

And finally we can calculate the centripetal acceleration, given by:
a_c =  \frac{v^2}{r}= \frac{(6.95 \cdot 10^7 m/s)^2}{13.18 m}=3.66 \cdot 10^{14} m/s^2

The info below shows three kettles with their powers and the time they take to boil 500cm3 of water. If electricity costs 9p per
Hitman42 [59]

The cost of boiling 500cm3 of water using the 3kW kettle is 1.35 P.

<h3>Cost of electricity for 3 kW kettle</h3>

The cost is calculated as follows;

1 unit = 9p /kWh

Total energy consumed by 3 kW kettle, E = P x t

where;

  • P is power (kW)
  • t is time in (hr)

E = 3 kW x (3 mins/60 mins/hr)

E = 0.15 kWh

Energy cost = 9 p/kWh x 0.15 kWh = 1.35 P

Thus, the cost of boiling 500cm3 of water using the 3kW kettle is 1.35 P.

A hockey puck moving at 0.4600 m/s collides with another puck that was at rest. The pucks have equal mass. The first puck is def
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Speed =0.283m/ s

Direction = 47.86°

Explanation:

Since it is a two dimensional momentum question with pucks having the same mass, we derive the momentum in xy plane

MU1 =MU2cos38 + MV2cos y ...x plane

0 = MU2sin38 - MV2sin y .....y plane

Where M= mass of puck, U1 = initial velocity of puck 1=0.46, U2 = final velocity of puck 1 =0.34, V2 = final velocity of puck 2, y= angular direction of puck2

Substitute into equation above

.46 = .34cos38 + V2cos y ...equ1

.34sin38 = V2sin y...equ2

.19=V2cos Y...x

.21=V2sin Y ...y

From x

V2 =0.19/cost

Sub V2 into y

0.21 = 0.19(Sin y/cos y)

1.1052 = tan y

y = 47.86°

Sub Y in to x plane equ

.19 = V2 cos 47.86°

V2=0.283m/s
