A negative charge is moving across a room from south to north. A magnetic field runs from east to west. In what direction is the

magnetic force on the moving negative charge?

Answer:

Downwards

Explanation:

Using Fleming's right hand rule, where the middle finger represents the negative charge moving in the south to north direction, the fore finger represents the magnetic field which points in the east to west direction.

If we are to follow this orientation and place the thumb, middle finger and fore-finger at right angles to each other, the thumb represents the direction of the magnetic force on the charge.

In this case, the magnetic force points downwards after setting the other orientations of the magnetic field and the negative charge's direction.

In a certain time interval, natural gas with energy content of 19000 J was piped into a house during a winter day. In the same t
Bumek [7]

Explanation:

Since, it is mentioned the there occurs no change in the temperature. This also means that there will occur no change in thermal energy of the system.

Hence, \Delta E = 0. And, as \Delta E = 0 then there will be no work involved. This means that total energy added to the house will return to the outside air as heat.

Therefore,

                   Q = -(19000 J + 2000 J)

                       = -21000 J

or,    |Q| = 21000 J

Thus, we can conclude that the magnitude of the energy transfer between the house and the outside air is 21000 J.

you stop the stopwatch at 4.0 s, but you notice a short time later that the same ant is at 0.81 m on the meter stick. Assuming t
telo118 [61]

The time elapsed since you stopped the stopwatch is 0.41 s.

<em>Your question is not complete, it seems to be missing the following information;</em>

"The velocity of the ant is 2 m/s"

The given parameters;

  • velocity of the ant, v = 2 m/s
  • change in position of the ant, Δx = 0.81 m
  • initial time, t₁ = 4 s
  • time when the ant was noticed, = t₂

Velocity is defined as the change in displacement per change in time of motion of an object.

v = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t} = \frac{\Delta x}{t_2 - t_1} \\\\t_2 -t_1 = \frac{\Delta x}{v} \\\\t_2 - 4 = \frac{0.81}{2} \\\\t_2 - 4 = 0.405\\\\t_2 = 0.405 + 4\\\\t_2 = 4.405 \approx 4.41 \ s

The time elapsed since you stopped the stopwatch is calculated as;

t_{elapsed} = 4.41 \ s - 4\ s = 0.41 \ s

Thus, the time elapsed since you stopped the stopwatch is 0.41 s.

What is the derivative of x^2 - x + 3 at the point x = 5?​
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

9

Explanation:

d/dx (x² - x + 3)

= 2x - 1

when x = 5,

2x-1

= 2(5) - 1

= 10 - 1

= 9

Choose the sources of gamma rays. Check all that apply.
harina [27]

Answer:

a. Stars all warm objects

c. Some unstable atomic nuclei

Explanation:

Gamma rays are photons of very high energy (beyond 100keV) enough to remove an electron from its orbit.

They have a very short wavelength, less than 5 meters from the peak, and can be produced by nuclear decay, especially in the breasts of massive stars at the end of life.

They were discovered by the French chemist Paul Villard (1860 to 1934).

While X-rays are produced by electronic transitions in general caused by the collision of an electron with an atom at high speed, gamma rays are produced by nuclear transitions.

 Gamma rays produce damage similar to those caused by X-rays or ultraviolet rays (burns, cancer and genetic mutations).

The sources of gamma rays that we observe in the universe come from <u>massive stars (hypernovas) or some warm objects on the space</u> that end their lives by a gravitational collapse that leads to the formation of a neutron star or a black hole, as well as <u>unstable radioactive nuclei </u>that emit radiation gamma to reach its steady state.
