Answer:

Longitudinal wave is a type of wave in which the the movement of the wave particle is parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This simply means that the wave particles is in the same or opposite direction to the wave propagation.

B. Sound waves- These are longitudinal waves because its medium particles through which the sound is transported oscillates parallel to the direction of the movement of the sound wave.

An electron with kinetic energy 2.9 keV moving along the positive direction of an x axis enters a region in which a uniform elec
Vladimir79 [104]

The electric force on the electron is opposite in direction to the electric field E. E points in the -y direction, so the electric force will point in the +y direction. The magnitude of the electric force is given by:

F = Eq

F = electric force, E = electric field strength, q = electron charge

We need to set up a magnetic field such that the magnetic force on the electron balances out the electric force. Since the electric force points in the +y direction, we need the magnetic force to point in the -y direction. Using the  reversed right hand rule, the magnetic field must point in the -z direction for this to happen. Since the direction is perpendicular to the +x direction of the electron's velocity, the magnetic force is given by:

F = qvB

F = magnetic force, q = charge, v = velocity, B = magnetic field strength

The electric force must equal the magnetic force.

Eq = qvB

Do some algebra to isolate B:

E = vB

B = E/v

Let's solve for the electron's velocity. Its kinetic energy is given by:

KE = 0.5mv²

KE = kinetic energy, m = mass, v = velocity

Given values:

KE = 2.9keV = 4.6×10⁻¹⁶J

m = 9.1×10⁻³¹kg

Plug in and solve for v:

4.6×10⁻¹⁶ = 0.5(9.1×10⁻³¹)v²

v = 3.2×10⁷m/s

B = E/v

Given values:

E = 7500V/m

v = 3.2×10⁷m/s

Plug in and solve for B:

B = 7500/3.2×10⁷

B = 0.00023T

B = 0.23mT

A solar-powered car is traveling at constant speed around a circular track. what happens to the centripetal acceleration of the
anyanavicka [17]
Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of an object acted upon a force that pulls it toward the center of origin. For constant speed, there is no acceleration, since acceleration is defined as the difference of velocities at an elapsed time. Hence, if speed doubles, then the centripetal acceleration would increase as well.

A particle with charge 3.20×10−19 c is placed on the x axis in a region where the electric potential due to other charges increa
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

-5 V

Explanation:

The charged particle (which is positively charged) moves from point A to B, and its kinetic energy increases: it means that the particle is following the direction of the field, so its potential energy is decreasing (because it's been converted into potential energy), therefore it is moving from a point at higher potential (A) to a point at lower potential (B). This means that the value

vb−va

is negative.

We can calculate the potential difference between the two points by using the law of conservation of energy:

\Delta K+ \Delta U=0\\\Delta K + q\Delta V=0

where:

\Delta K=+1.6\cdot 10^{-18} J is the change in kinetic energy of the particle

q=3.2\cdot 10^{-19} C is the charge of the particle

\Delta V =V_b-V_a is the potential difference

Re-arranging the equation, we can find the value of the potential difference:

\Delta V=V_b-V_a = -\frac{\Delta K}{q}=-\frac{1.6\cdot 10^{-18} J}{3.2\cdot 10^{-19} C}=-5 V
