Answer:

north direction.

Explanation:

The wire carries a current towards the east . The magnetic field will make circular path around the wire in clockwise direction  so at a point just south of wire , magnetic field will be into the plane of paper containing wire. If we take east as x -axes , north as y axes then out of plane will form z axes. Hence direction of magnetic field will be -  z direction .

Magnetic field can be represented as - B k

Proton is moving towards east ie in + x direction so it can be represented as follows

velocity = V i

Force F = q( V i x -B k)

= ( BqV) j or + ve j direction or along north direction

So direction of force will be along north direction.

g A change in the initial _____ of a projectile changes the range and maximum height of the projectile.​
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Velocity.

Explanation:

Projectile motion is characterized as the motion that an object undergoes when it is thrown into the air and it is only exposed to acceleration due to gravity.

As per the question, 'any change in the initial velocity of the projectile(object having gravity as the only force) would lead to a change in the range as well as the maximum height of the projectile.' To illustrate numerically:

Horizontal range: As per expression:

R= (u^{2}*sin2θ)/g

the range depending on the square of the initial velocity.

Maximum height: As per expression:

H= (u^{2} * sin^{2}θ )/2g

the maximum distance also depends upon square of the initial velocity.
