Answer:

2. west

Explanation:

Given an electron is moving vertically upward from ground.

Now Fleming right hand rule state that: make L shape with thumb and index finger then point middle finger perpendicular to index and thumb.Then index finger points in the direction of moving charge , middle finger points in the direction of the magnetic field and thumb points in the direction of the magnetic force.

According to Fleming right hand rule the direction of the magnetic that acts on the electron is west.

If object A has more mass than object B, what will object A need to accelerate at the same rate as object B?
Leni [432]

Answer:

More force

Explanation:

Object A has more mass than object B

  For object A to accelerate at the same rate as object B, it will need more force.

According to Newton's second law of motion "the net force on a body is the product of its mass and acceleration".

  Net force  = mass x acceleration

Now, if a body has more mass and needs to accelerate at the same rate as another one with a lower mass, the force on it must be increased.

What is the use of force to move an object over a distance?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

In physics, work is defined as the use of force to move an object. For work to be done, the force must be applied in the same direction that the object moves. Work is directly related to both the force applied to an object and the distance the object moves.                                                                                              <em>[I HOPE THIS HELPS* PLS MARK ME BRAINLIEST]</em>

Sound wave cannot propagate through vacuum.Why?<br>Plz give reason in short....​
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

If a perfect vacuum existed in any volume, then no sound would be able to propagate through it, because a sound wave is a pressure wave, and there would be identically zero pressure. Of course, we could get into speculations about “dark energy” or “vacuum energy” supporting pressure waves, but let’s not go there.
