A fisherman sees his boat moving up and down, owing to waves on the water. It takes 2.5 s for the boat to travel from its highes

t to lowest point, a distance of 0.62 m. The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced 6 m apart. How fast are the waves traveling?

Answer:

The waves are traveling in a speed of

v=1.20 m/s

Explanation:

The fisherman see a wave at 6m apart so that's the wavelength

L=6m

Now the period is the time between two successive waves so

t=2*2.5s=5s

The velocity of the waves is describe by:

v=f*L

f=\frac{1}{t}=\frac{1}{5s}=20s^{-1}

v=0.20s^{-1}*6m

v=1.20 \frac{m}{s}

A proton with a velocity in the positive x-direction enters a region where there is a uniform magnetic field B in the positive y
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Positive z direction.

Explanation:

The magnetic force acting on the electron is given by the formula as :

F=q(v\times B)

q is the charge on proton

v is the speed of proton

B is the magnetic field

It is mentioned that the proton is moving with a velocity in the positive x-direction. The uniform magnetic field B in the positive y-direction such taht,

q = +e

v = vi

B = Bj

F=e(v\ i\times B\ j)

Since, i\times j=k

F=(evB)\ k

So, the magnetic force acting on the proton in positive z axis. Hence, the correct option is (d) "positive z direction".
