The force on the particle is given by F=qvB when the motion is perpendicular to the field.  Here q is the electric charge and B is the magnetic field in tesla.  The resulting motion is circular.  According to Newton's laws of motion an object in circular motion is accelerating radially according to a = v²/r where r is the radius of the circular path.  Since F=ma, we can use this acceleration to get the radial force, which is F=mv²/r.  This force and the force from the magnetic field are equivalent so
mv²/r=qvB.  The particle's velocity is then
v=qBr/m
Note the distance around the circle is 2πr.  This is a linear function in r, so if you double r, you double the length around the circle.  Since the velocity equation is directly proportional to r, if you triple v, you must also triple the right hand side of the equation as well.  But on the right side of the equation, q, B, and m are constant.  The only thing you can triple is r, meaning that while the particle is moving 3 times as fast as before, it now has 3 times further to travel, meaning
the time to go around is the same.  As the particle speeds up, the circle it is moving in gets bigger.  To change the time to go around, you'd need to change the magnetic field.

A block is sliding down an inclined plane that makes an angle of 65o with the horizontal. If the coefficient of kinetic friction
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

8.2 m/s²

Explanation:

m = mass of the block

μ = Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.17

F_{n} = Normal force on the block by the ramp

f_{k} = kinetic frictional force

Force equation perpendicular to ramp surface is given as

F_{n} = mg Cos65

Kinetic frictional force is given as

f_{k} = \mu F_{n}

f_{k} = \mu mg Cos65

Force equation parallel to ramp surface is given as

mg Sin65 - f_{k} = ma

mg Sin65 - \mu mg Cos65 = ma

g Sin65 - \mu g Cos65 = a

(9.8) Sin65 - (0.17) (9.8) Cos65 = a

a = 8.2 m/s²
