<span>The width of the physical spectrum is shorter than that of the electromagnetic spectrum. The visible spectrum is the light that can be seen with the human eye, which we see as the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet or ROY G. BIV. However, there are more wavelengths that can be seen beyond that, which are apart of the electromagnetic spectrum. For example, the UV rays, microwaves, and Gamma Rays cannot be seen by the human eye. Therefore, the electromagnetic spectrum is longer than the visible spectrum because there is so much more that humans can not see. The visible spectrum is only 400-750nm. The electromagnetic spectrum is 10 to the -14 to 10 to the 4 meters.</span>

Answer:

$1.26\cdot 10^7 m/s$

Explanation:

When a charged particle moves perpendicularly to a magnetic field, the force it experiences is:

$F=qvB$

where

q is the charge

v is its velocity

B is the strength of the magnetic field

Moreover, the force acts in a direction perpendicular to the motion of the charge, so it acts as a centripetal force; therefore we can write:

$qvB=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

m is the mass of the particle

r is the radius of the orbit of the particle

The equation can be re-arranges as

$v=\frac{qBr}{m}$

where in this problem we have:

$q=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ is the magnitude of the charge of the electron

$B=208 G=208\cdot 10^{-4}T$ is the strength of the magnetic field

The beam penetrates 3.45 mm into the field region: therefore, this is the radius of the orbit,

$r=3.45 mm = 3.45\cdot 10^{-3} m$

$m=9.11\cdot 10^{-31} kg$ is the mass of the electron

So, the electron's speed is

$v=\frac{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(208\cdot 10^{-4})(3.45\cdot 10^{-3})}{9.11\cdot 10^{-31}}=1.26\cdot 10^7 m/s$

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

about 0.8 times

Explanation: MARS is a planet named after a Roman God of War, it is the fourth planet from the sun and the Second smallest planet following Mercury.

The orbital Speed of a planet is the speed with which the planet uses to completely go round the Sun.

The orbital Speed of the Earth is 29.78kilmeters per Second.

The orbital Speed of Mar is 0.8*29.78kilometers per second/1

=23.824kilmeters per second.

What is the difference between contact and action-at-a-distance forces?

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Contact forces are forces that require the actual contact (touching) of two pieces of matter. ... A field force is a force that works at a distance. No touching is required. Gravity is a good example of a field force, because it works whether or not an object is touching something or touching nothing at all.
