<span> the speed of sound in air is directly proportional to the temperature of the air. The speed of sound depends on the temperature of the surrounding air, this can be represented by a speed of sound in air formula: v = 331m/s + 0.6m/s/C * T (where T is temperature)</span>

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
