A proton, traveling with a velocity of 3.7 × 106 m/s due east, experiences a magnetic force that has a maximum magnitude of 5.4

× 10-14 n and direction of due south. what are the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field causing the force? if the field is up, then enter a number greater than zero. if the field is down, then enter a number less than zero.

The magnetic force (Lorentz force) experienced by the proton in the magnetic field is given by
F=qvBsin\theta=qvB
since \theta = 90^{\circ}, because the velocity v and the force F in this problem are perpendicular, and so also the angle \theta between the velocity and the magnetic field B should be 90^{\circ}.

Let's find the magnitude of the magnetic field; this is given by
B= \frac{F}{qv}= \frac{5.4\cdot 10^{-14}N}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C \cdot 3.7\cdot 10^6 m/s}=0.091 T

To understand the direction, let's use the right-hand rule:
-index finger: velocity
- middle finger: magnetic field
- thumb: force

Since the velocity (index) points east and the force (thumb) points south, then the magnetic field (middle finger) points downwards. So we write:
B = -0.091 T

A box is being moved with a velocity (v) by a force P (parallel to v) along a level horizontal floor. The normal force is (Fn),
labwork [276]

Answer:

Force (P) : Positive

Normal Force (Fn) : Zero

Weight (mg) : Zero

Kinetic Frictional Force (fk) : Negative

Explanation:

The work done by a force on an object is given by the following formula:

W = F.d

W = F d Cosθ

where,

W = Work Done

f = Force Applied

d = displacement

θ = Angle between force and displacement

<u>FOR FORCE (P)</u>:

Since, force P is parallel to the motion of the box. Therefore, θ = 0°

Hence,

W = P d Cos 0°

W = P d(1)

W = Pd

<u>Therefore, work done by force (P) is Positive.</u>

<u></u>

<u>FOR NORMAL FORCE (Fn) AND WEIGHT (W)</u>:

Since, normal force and weight are perpendicular to the motion of the box. Therefore, θ = 90°

Hence,

W = Fn d Cos 90°= mg d Cos 90°

W = Fn d(0) = mg d (0)

W = 0

<u>Therefore, work done by Normal Force (Fn) and Weight (mg) is Zero.</u>

<u></u>

<u>FOR KINETIC FRICTIONAL FORCE (fk)</u>:

Since, kinetic frictional force acts in the opposite direction of motion of the box. Therefore, θ = 180°

Hence,

W = fk d Cos 180°

W = fk d(-1)

W = -fk d

<u>Therefore, work done by Kinetic Frictional Force (fk) is Negative.</u>

<u></u>
