Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The sum of two vectors is given by :

S = a + b

As we know that vectors have both magnitude and direction. Let us consider that East points in +x axis and west points in -x axis. Let the sum is given by S. So,

S = 15 m + (-9 m)

S = 6 meters

So, the vector sum of 15 m, East and 9 m, West is 6 m not 24 m. Hence, the given statement is false.

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Because when you go through east

( +x axis ) then you go to west ( -x axis )

You will subtract -9 from +15

it's become +6

( I talk about the displacement not distance) ( West = - East )

I hope that it's a clear ") .

A long, straight wire lies in the plane of a circular coil with a radius of 0.018 m. the wire carries a current of 5.6 a and is

iris [78.8K]

(a) The net flux through the coil is zero.
In fact, the magnetic field generated by the wire forms concentric circles around the wire. The wire is placed along the diameter of the coil, so we can imagine as it divides the coil into two emisphere. Therefore, the magnetic field of the wire is perpendicular to the plane of the coil, but the direction of the field is opposite in the two emispheres. Since the two emispheres have same area, then the magnetic fluxes in the two emispheres are equal but opposite in sign, and so they cancel out when summing them together to find the net flux.

(b) If the wire passes through the center of the coil but it is perpendicular to the plane of the wire, the net flux through the coil is still zero.
In fact, the magnetic field generated by the wire forms concentric lines around the wire, so it is parallel to the plane of the coil. But the flux is equal to
$\Phi = BA \cos \theta$
where $\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the magnetic field and the perpendicular to the plane of the coil, so in this case $\theta=90^{\circ}$ and so the cosine is zero, therefore the net flux is zero.

A 2kg mass is initially at rest on a frictionless surface. A 45N force acts at an angle of 300

raketka [301]

Answer:

a) The work done by the force is 136.400 joules.

b) The speed of the mass at the end of the 3.5 meters is approximately 11.679 meters per second.

Explanation:

The correct statement is shown below:

A 2-kg mass is initially at reat on a frictionless surface. A 45 N force acts at an angle of 30º to the horizontal for a distance of 3.5 meters:

a) Find the work done by the force.

b) Find the speed of the mass at the end of the 3.5 meters.

a) Given that a external constant force is acting on the mass on a frictionless surface, the work done by the force ( $W_{F}$ ), measured in joules, is:

$W_{F} = F\cdot \Delta s \cdot \cos \theta$ (1)

Where:

$F$ - External constant force exerted on the mass, measured in newtons.

$\Delta s$ - Horizontal travelled distance, measured in meters.

$\theta$ - Direction of the external force regarding the horizontal, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

If we know that $F = 45\,N$ , $\Delta s = 3.5\,m$ and $\theta = 30^{\circ}$ , then the work done by the force is:

$W_{F} = (45\,N)\cdot (3.5\,m)\cdot \cos 30^{\circ}$

$W_{F} = 136.400\,J$

The work done by the force is 136.400 joules.

b) The final speed of the mass at the end ot the 3.5 meter is calculated by means of the Work-Energy Theorem, which means that the work done on the mass is transformed into a translational kinetic energy. That is:

$W_{F} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot (v_{2}^{2}-v_{1}^{2})$ (2)

Where:

$m$ - Mass, measured in kilograms.

$v_{1}$ , $v_{2}$ - Initial and final speeds of the mass, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $W_{F} = 136.400\,J$ , $m = 2\,kg$ and $v_{1} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then the final speed of the mass is:

$\frac{2\cdot W_{F}}{m} = v_{2}^{2}-v_{1}^{2}$

$v_{2}^{2} =v_{1}^{2}+\frac{2\cdot W_{F}}{m}$

$v_{2} =\sqrt{v_{1}^{2}+\frac{2\cdot W_{F}}{m} }$

$v_{2} =\sqrt{\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}+\frac{2\cdot (136.400\,J)}{2\,kg} }$

$v_{2} \approx 11.679\,\frac{m}{s}$

The speed of the mass at the end of the 3.5 meters is approximately 11.679 meters per second.

An accelerating voltage of 2.47 x 10^3 V is applied to an electron gun, producing a beam of electrons originally traveling horiz

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

6.3445×10⁻¹⁶ m

Explanation:

E = Accelerating voltage = 2.47×10³ V

m = Mass of electron

Distance electron travels = 33.5 cm = 0.335 cm

$E=\frac{mv^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 2470\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{9.11\times 10^{-31}}}\\\Rightarrow v=29455356.08671\ m/s$

Deflection by Earth's Gravity

$\Delta =\frac {gt^2}{2}$

Now, Time = Distance/Velocity

$\Delta =\frac {g\frac{s^2}{v^2}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \Delta =\frac{9.81\frac{0.335^2}{29455356.08671^2}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \Delta =6.3445\times 10^{-16}\ m$

∴ Magnitude of the deflection on the screen caused by the Earth's gravitational field is 6.3445×10⁻¹⁶ m

What is electron affinity?

Andrews [41]

Answer:

The electron affinity of an atom or molecule is defined as the amount of energy released when an electron is attached to a neutral atom or molecule in the gaseous state to form a negative ion.
