Answer:

1. Fleming's left hand rule

2. It must be projected towards the east

Explanation:

Fleming's left-hand rule states that; When a current-carrying conductor is placed in an external magnetic field, the conductor experiences a force perpendicular to both the field and to the direction of the current flow. This rule was first put forward by John Ambrose Fleming in the later part of the nineteenth century.

Hence if the thumb, fore finger and middle finger of the lefthand are held mutually at right angles to each other; the thumb shows the direction of motion, the fore finger shows the direction of the field while the middle finger shows the direction of the current.

Hence, if the alpha particle is projected eastwards(at right angles) to the uniform magnetic field, it will be deflected southwards in the magnetic field.

Elaborate on the reason(s) that matter is said to move even as in a solid state.
Mariulka [41]

<u>Answer:</u>

The matter does not move in solid state but vibrates.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The atoms inside the matter cannot move or shift their positions without any external force but makes some small vibration movements. Generally in solids, the particles are bound by the attractive forces acting in between the atoms inside the matter.

The small vibrations that are happening inside the matter are because of the external factors like temperature. The increase in temperature raises the kinetic energy of the atoms inside and makes them move faster and this results in the vibration of the matter.
