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

Two representative elements are in the same period of the periodic table. Which statement correctly describes the atoms of the t
oksian1 [2.3K]

Elements in the periodic table are arranged in the increasing order of their atomic number.

An atom will contain equal amount of protons and electrons. If two elements are in same period of periodic table then these elements will have same number of electrons.

Helium is one of the seven elements which are called as noble gases. This gas is odorless, tasteless and colorless which makes it unique from other elements.

It has two valence electrons while atoms of other elements in the group have 8 valence electrons.

Lithium has one valence electron, while calcium atom has 2 valence electrons.

The highest level of energy is due valence electrons of an atom.  The correct answer is Lithium.

Fluorine element has 9 electrons. There are 2 electrons in the first energy level and seven electrons in the second energy level.

What is the product of an object’s mass and velocity? momentum net force kinetic energy
kaheart [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is momentum.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity.

It is a term which describes the relationship between the mass of an object and the velocity of an object.

Momentum can be represented in the form of an equation as:

P = mv

where P is the momentum,

m is the mass of the object; and v is the velocity of that object.

A research submarine can withstand an external pressure of 62 megapascals (million pascals) all the while maintaining a comforta
Alex

Answer:

<em>The depth will be equal to</em> <em>6141.96 m</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

pressure on the submarine P_{sea} = 62 MPa = 62 x 10^6 Pa

we also know that P_{sea} = ρgh

where

ρ is the density of sea water = 1029 kg/m^3

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

h is the depth below the water that this pressure acts

substituting values, we have

P_{sea} = 1029 x 9.81 x h = 10094.49h

The gauge pressure within the submarine P_{g} = 101 kPa =  101000 Pa

this gauge pressure is balanced by the atmospheric pressure (proportional to 101325 Pa) that acts on the surface of the sea, so it cancels out.

Equating the pressure P_{sea}, we have

62 x 10^6 = 10094.49h

depth h = <em>6141.96 m</em>
