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

Difference between diurnal and annual motion in two points​
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Explanation below:

Explanation:

Annual motion describes the changes in motion of the earth around the sun. Diurnal motion can be better understood as the change in motion caused by Earths rotation at the poles.

This might not be the answer you were looking for, your question is very vague.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The kinetic energy after the perfectly inelastic collision would be zero Joules. <span>A </span>perfectly inelastic collision<span> occurs when the maximum amount of kinetic energy of a system is lost. Hope this answers the question.</span>

Invader Zim’s spaceship is sitting at rest in outer space. The ship then accelerates at a uniform rate of 12 m/s2 for 10 seconds
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

120 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 12 m/s²

t = 10 s

Find: v

v = at + v₀

v = (12 m/s²) (10 s) + 0 m/s

v = 120 m/s
