Answer:

The particle path will follow

(d) a circular path

Explanation:

When a charged particle having charge of magnitude 'q' enters into a magnetic field such that its velocity vector '\vec{V}' is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field '\vec{B}', then it will experience a force, called Lorentz force (\vec{F_{L}}), given by

\vec{F_{L}} = \vec{V} \times \vec{B}

As shown in the figure, the magnetic field is directed perpendicular to the plane and towards the plane (as shown by the circle and 'X'-sign) and the velocity vector is from left to right on the plane.

According to the property of cross-product, the Lorentz force (F_{L}) acting on the particle will be perpendicular to the instantaneous position of the particle, making the path of the particle to be a circular path,as shown in the figure.

xeze [42]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

A whale swims due east for a  distance of 6.9 km, turns around and  goes due west for 1.8 km and finally  turns around again and heads 3.7 km  due east.  (a) What is the total distance  traveled by the whale? (b) What are the  magnitude and direction of the displacement of the whale?

Answer:

(a) Distance = 12.4 km

(b) Displacement = 8.8 km due east

Explanation:

Consider east direction as positive and west direction as negative.

Given:

The motion is along the east-west line.

The whale first swims 6.9 km due east, then 1.8 km due west and again 3.7 km due east.

(a)

Distance traveled by the whale is equal to the sum of the lengths of all the distances traveled. Therefore,

Distance traveled = 6.9 km + 1.8 km + 3.7 km = 12.4 km

Therefore, the distance traveled by the whale is 12.4 km.

(b)

Displacement of the whale is given by considering the sign of each of the individual displacements. Therefore,

Displacement of the whale = (+6.9 km) + (-1.8 km) + (+3.7 km)

Displacement of the whale = 6.9 km - 1.8 km + 3.7 km = 8.8 km

The answer is positive. So, the direction is due east.

Therefore, the displacement of the whale is <u>8.8 km due east.</u>

The correct equation for the x component of a vector named A with an angle measured from the x axis would be which of the follow
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Acosθ

Explanation:

The x-component of a vector is defined as :

Magnitude * cosine of the angle

Maginitude * cosθ

The magnitude is represented as A

Hence, horizontal, x - component of the vector is :

Acosθ

Furthermore,

The y-component is taken as the sin of the of the angle multiplied by the magnitude

Vertical, y component : Asinθ

A mover brings a box up the stairs in 10 seconds. If he applied a force of 20 N over a distance 10 m on the box, calculate the p
Softa [21]

Answer:

20 Watts

Explanation:

Work = force × distance

W = (20 N) (10 m)

W = 200 Joules

Power = work / time

P = 200 J / 10 s

P = 20 Watts
