W=df
work = displacement x force

displacement: 5
force: 20

20 x 5 = 100 J

Work = Force * displacement
Work = 20 * 5 = 100 J

The magnitude of Earth’s magnetic field is about 0.5 gauss near Earth’s surface. What’s the maximum possible magnetic force on a

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

$F = 1.5 \times 10^{-16} N$

this force is $1.68 \times 10^{13}$ times more than the gravitational force

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy of the electron is given as

$KE = 1 keV$

$KE = 1 \times 10^3 (1.6 \times 10^{-19}) J$

$KE = 1.6 \times 10^{-16} J$

now the speed of electron is given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

now we have

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2 KE}{m}}$

$v = 1.87 \times 10^7 m/s$

now the maximum force due to magnetic field is given as

$F = qvB$

$F = (1.6\times 10^{-19})(1.87 \times 10^7)(0.5 \times 10^{-4})$

$F = 1.5 \times 10^{-16} N$

Now if this force is compared by the gravitational force on the electron then it is

$\frac{F}{F_g} = \frac{1.5 \times 10^{-16}}{9.1 \times 10^{-31} (9.8)}$

$\frac{F}{F_g} = 1.68 \times 10^{13}$

so this force is $1.68 \times 10^{13}$ times more than the gravitational force

A 49 kg person is being dragged in their sleeping bag to the lake by a 593 N

crimeas [40]

Answer:

f = 485.62 N

Explanation:

Since, the bag is moving with some acceleration. Hence, the unbalanced force will be given as:

Unbalanced Force = Horizontal Component Applied Force - Frictional Force

Unbalanced Force = Fx - f

But, from Newtons Second Law of Motion:

Unbalanced Force = ma

comparing the equations:

ma = Fx - f

f = F Cos θ - ma

where,

f = frictional force = ?

F = Applied force = 593 N

m = mass of person = 49 kg

a = acceleration = 0.57 m/s²

θ = Angle with horizontal = 30°

Therefore,

f = (593 N)(Cos 30°) - (49 kg)(0.57 m/s²)

f = 513.55 N - 27.93 N
