A proton and an electron are moving in the +x direction in a magnetic field in the +z
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force on a moving charge is given by the following relation

F = q ( v x B )

for proton

q = e  ,   v = vi  , B = Bk

F = e ( vi x Bk )

= Bev - j

= - Bevj

The direction of force is along negative of y axis or -y - axis.

for electron

q = - e  ,   v = vi  , B = Bk

F = - e ( vi x Bk )

= - Bev - j

=  Bevj

The direction of force is along positive  of y axis or + y - axis.

To win the game, a place kicker must kick a
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

1.86 m

Explanation:

First, find the time it takes to travel the horizontal distance.  Given:

Δx = 52 m

v₀ = 26 m/s cos 31.5° ≈ 22.2 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

Find: t

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

52 m = (22.2 m/s) t + ½ (0 m/s²) t²

t = 2.35 s

Next, find the vertical displacement.  Given:

v₀ = 26 m/s sin 31.5° ≈ 13.6 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

t = 2.35 s

Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (13.6 m/s) (2.35 s) + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) (2.35 s)²

Δy = 4.91 m

The distance between the ball and the crossbar is:

4.91 m − 3.05 m = 1.86 m

An experimenter finds that standing waves on a string fixed at both ends occur at 24 Hz and 32 Hz , but at no frequencies in bet
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

8 Hz

Explanation:

Given that

Standing wave at one end is 24 Hz

Standing wave at the other end is 32 Hz.

Then the frequency of the standing wave mode of a string having a length, l, is usually given as

f(m) = m(v/2L), where in this case, m could be 1. 2. 3. 4 etc

Also, another formula is given as

f(m) = m.f(1), where f(1) is the fundamental frequency..

Thus, we could say that

f(m+1) - f(m) = (m + 1).f(1) - m.f(1) = f(1)

And as such,

f(1) = 32 - 24

f(1) = 8 Hz

Then, the fundamental frequency needed is 8 Hz

How much force is required to accelerate a 12 kg mass at 5 m/s 2
Savatey [412]

Answer:

60 N

Explanation:

This is just Newton's Second Law

F = m*a

F = ?

m = 12 kg

a = 5 m/^2

F = 5*12 = 60 Newtons
