What is the direction of the magnetic field if an electron moving in the positive x direction experiences a magnetic force in th

e positive z direction
Physics
1 answer:
Alex787 [66]3 years ago
7 0

Given :

An electron moving in the positive x direction experiences a magnetic force in the positive z direction.

To Find :

The direction of the magnetic field.

Solution :

We know, force is given by :

\vec{F}=q(\vec{v}\times \vec{B)}

Here, q = -e.

\vec{F}=(-e)(\vec{v}\times \vec{B)}\\\\\hat{k}=(-e)(\hat{i}\times \vec{B})

Now, for above condition to satisfy :

\hat{i}\times \vec{B}=-\hat{k}

So, \vec{B}=-\hat{j}

Therefore, direction of magnetic field is negative y direction.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A circus act involves a trapeze artist and a baby elephant. They are going to balance on a teeter-totter that is 10 meters long
elena-s [515]

Answer:

Explanation:

Balance point will be achieved as soon as the weight of the baby elephant creates torque equal to torque created by weight of woman about the pivot. torque by weight of woman

weight x distance from pivot

= 500x 5

= 2500 Nm

torque by weight of baby woman , d be distance of baby elephant from pivot at the time of balance

= 2500x d

for equilibrium

2500 d = 2500

d = 1 m

So elephant will have to walk up to 1 m close to pivot or middle point.

Identify and define the four major forms of matter, explain how melting, freezing, boiling,
mina [271]

There are four forms of matter: Solid, Liquid, gas and Plasma and matter undergoes various state changes termed as melting, freezing, boiling, evaporation, condensation, sublimation and deposition.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Solids

A matter that have a definite shape because of its closely packed molecular structure; are known as Solids. It can be identified as they have a definite shape and cannot flow or float without external forces are applied.

Liquids

These have a an internal molecular structure with comparatively more spaces with one another. Liquids have a property to flow and change shape according to the container it is taken.

Gases

The internal molecular structure of gases has the widest range of space among one another and thus they have a floating property because of least density.

Plasma

A complete ionized gas which has equal amount of positively and negatively charged ions. The best example of plasma is a plasma-ball.

<u>Phase transformation among the four forms of matter</u>

<u>Melting</u>

A matter changing from a solid phase to liquid phase is known as melting. Ex: Ice into water

<u>Freezing</u>

A matter changing from liquid to solid is known as freezing.

<u>Boiling</u>

When the liquid is heated to its boiling point, this gets transformed into the state of gas where liquid's pressure equals to the external pressure.

<u>Evaporation</u>

Once the liquid reached the temperature range above the boiling point ad starts converting into vapours or gaseous state.

<u>Condensation</u>

When the gases changes from the gaseous phase to liquid phase, this is called condensation.

<u>Sublimation</u>

The change of solid into gas is called as sublimation.

<u>Deposition</u>

Deposition refers the thermodynamic process where phase transition takes place as the gas solidifies without passing through the liquid phase. An example: the process of converting water vapour from frozen air directly into ice without initially becoming a liquid.

What do work and energy have in common
spayn [35]

Energy and Work have the same unit of measurement which is Joules in SI units.

Explanation:

  • A Joule of Work is said to be done on an object when energy is transferred to that particular object.
  • If two objects are involved, when one object transfers energy onto the second, a joule of work is said to be done by the first object.  
  • Work is also the application of force on an object over a distance. So Work = Force × Displacement
  • Energy is neither created nor destroyed. It is in 2 forms - kinetic and potential.
  • Kinetic energy is defined as the energy of a moving object while potential energy is known as the energy that is stored within an object.
  • Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × mass × (velocity)²
  • Potential Energy = mass × acceleration due to gravity × height
  • Both energy and work are measured in Joules.
