Answer:
A. Both spheres land at the same time.
Explanation:
The horizontal motion doesn't affect the vertical motion. Since the two spheres have the same initial vertical velocity and same initial height, they land at the same time.
The direction of the force experienced by the positive charge is upward.
We can use the right-hand rule to understand the direction of the Lorentz force acting on the charge: let's put the thumb in the same direction of the current in the wire (eastward), while the other fingers "wrap themselves" around the wire. These other fingers give the direction of the Lorentz force in every point of the space around the wire. Since the charge is located north of the wire, in that point the fingers are directed upward, so the positive charge experiences a force directed upward.
(if it was a negative charge, we should have taken the opposite direction)
In collision that are categorized as elastic, the total kinetic energy of the system is preserved such that,
KE1 = KE2
The kinetic energy of the system before the collision is solved below.
KE1 = (0.5)(25)(20)² + (0.5)(10g)(15)²
KE1 = 6125 g cm²/s²
This value should also be equal to KE2, which can be calculated using the conditions after the collision.
KE2 = 6125 g cm²/s² = (0.5)(10)(22.1)² + (0.5)(25)(x²)
The value of x from the equation is 17.16 cm/s.
Hence, the answer is 17.16 cm/s.
No spacecraft has been built yet that was able to absorb harmful
radiations in space, change weather conditions on Earth, or destroy
meteors and comets which might strike Earth.
We should continue to send robotic spacecrafts into space
because they help discard some myths about objects in space.
In other words, they help us learn things that we never knew before.
B. kinetic energy increases and potential energy decreases
