Answer: B. Theories are just guesses.

The student denigrates the Big bang theory by saying it is just a theory. This statement by the student in the debate clearly shows how the student is not identifying the importance of theories and its practical application. It shows that the student just theories are easy to make as they are just guesses.

If the lily pads are spaced 2.4 m apart and Ferdinand jumps with a speed of 5 m/s taking 0.6 s to go from lily pad to lily pad,
Zina [86]

Answer:

36.87^{\circ}

Explanation:

v = Velocity of Ferdinand = 5 m/s

\theta = Angle of jump

T = Time taken = 0.6 s

R = Distance between lily pads = 2.4 m

Horizontal range is given by

R=v_xT\\\Rightarrow R=vcos\theta T\\\Rightarrow cos\theta=\dfrac{R}{vT}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\dfrac{R}{vT}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\dfrac{2.4}{5\times 0.6}\\\Rightarrow \theta=36.87^{\circ}

The angle at which Ferdinand make each of his jumps is 36.87^{\circ}

A marble rolls 269cm across the floor with a constant speed of in 44.1cm/s.
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

t = 6.09 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed, v = 44.1 cm/s

Distance, d = 269 cm

We need to find the time interval of the marble. Speed is distance per unit time.

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\\implies t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{269\ \text{cm}}{44.1\ \text{cm/s}}\\\\t=6.09\ s

Hence, the time interval of the marble is 6.09 seconds.

If an electronin an electron beam experiences a downward force of 2.0x10^-14N while traveling in a magnetic field of 8.3x10^-2T
Anni [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Force is downward I.e negative y-axis

F = -2 × 10^-14 •j N

Magnetic field is westward, +x direction

B = 8.3 × 10^-2 •i T

Charge of an electron

q = 1.6 × 10^-19C

Velocity and it direction?

Force in a magnetic field is given as

F = q(V×B)

Angle between V and B is 270, check attachment

The cross product of velocity and magnetic field

F =qVB•Sin270

2 × 10^-14 = 1.6 × 10^-19 × V × 8.3 × 10^-2

Then,

v = 2 × 10^-14 / (1.6 × 10^-19 × 8.3 × 10^-2)

v = 1.51 × 10^6 m/s

Direction of the force

Let x be the direction of v

-F•j = v•x × B•i

From cross product

We know that

i×j = k, j×i = -k

j×k =i, k×j = -i

k×i = j, i×k = -j OR -k×i = -j

Comparing -k×i = -j to given problem

We notice that

-F•j = q ( -V•k × B×i)

So, the direction of V is negative z- direction

V = -1.51 × 10^6 •k m/s
