Answer:

Recall, The magnetic field on a electron in a wire, Bₓ = (µ₀ I)/(2πr)

Note: Magnetic force direction is at right angles to electron motion.

Magnetic force, F = q * v * Bₓ

Substituting Bₓ into F, we have

F = q * v * Bₓ = (q * v * µ₀* I)/(2π r) = (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 1.0 x 10⁷ x 4π x 10⁻⁷ x 50)/( 2π x 5 x 10⁻²) = 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁶ N

a) Hence, the magnitude of the magnetic force on the electron if the electron velocity is directed (a) toward the wire is 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁶ N  and opposite the current

b) Hence, the magnitude of the magnetic force on the electron if the electron velocity is directed (b) parallel to the wire in the direction of the current is 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁶ N  and away from the wire.

c) Hence, the magnitude of the magnetic forces on the electrons if the electron velocity is perpendicular to the two directions defined by (a) and (b) is 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁶ N  and (a) direction - opposite the current, (b) same direction as current.

Find the range of a projectile launched at an angle of 30° with an initial velocity of 20m/s.​
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

<em>The range is 35.35 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Projectile Motion</u>

It's the type of motion that experiences an object projected near the Earth's surface and moves along a curved path exclusively under the action of gravity.

Being vo the initial speed of the object, θ the initial launch angle, and g=9.8m/s^2 the acceleration of gravity, then the maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object (also called Range) is:

\displaystyle d={\frac  {v_o^{2}\sin(2\theta )}{g}}

The projectile was launched at an angle of θ=30° with an initial speed vo=20 m/s. Calculating the range:

\displaystyle d={\frac  {20^{2}\sin(2\cdot 30^\circ )}{9.8}}

\displaystyle d={\frac  {400\sin(60^\circ )}{9.8}}

d=35.35\ m

The range is 35.35 m

Which of the following statements is true?
xenn [34]

Correct answer choice is :


C) The freezing and melting temperatures of a substance are the same.


Explanation:


Fluids have a particular temperature at which they convert into solids, identified as their freezing point. In theory, the melting point of a solid should be the same as the freezing point of the liquid. In practice, small variations among these measures can be seen. The freezing point of a matter is the same as that substance's melting point. At this distinct temperature, the substance can exist as either a solid or a liquid. At temperatures below the freezing/ melting point, the substance is a solid.

The magnetic field in a cyclotron is 1.25 T, and the maximum orbital radius of the circulating protons is 0.40 m. (a) What is th
Darya [45]

Answer:

1.92 x 10⁻¹²J

Explanation:

The magnetic force from the magnetic field gives the circulating protons gives the particle the necessary centripetal acceleration to keep it orbiting round the circular path. And from Newton's second law of motion, the force(F) is equal to the product of the mass(m) of the proton and the centripetal acceleration(a). i.e

F = ma

Where;

a = \frac{v^2}{r}             [v = linear velocity, r = radius of circular path]

=> F = m\frac{v^2}{r}           ------------(i)

We also know that the magnitude of this magnetic force experienced by the moving charge (proton) in a magnetic field is given by;

F = q v B sin θ       ----------(ii)

Where;

q = charge of the particle

v = velocity of the particle

B = magnetic field

θ = the angle between the velocity and the magnetic field.

Combining equations (i) and (ii) gives

m\frac{v^2}{r} = q v B sin θ           [θ = 90° since the proton is orbiting at the maximum orbital radius]

=> m\frac{v^2}{r} = q v B sin 90°

=> m\frac{v^2}{r} = q v B

Divide both side by v;

=> m\frac{v}{r} = qB

Make v subject of the formula

v = \frac{qBr}{m}

From the question;

B = 1.25T

m = mass of proton = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷kg

r = 0.40m

q = charge of a proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C

Substitute these values into equation(iii) as follows;

v = \frac{(1.6*10^{-19})(1.25)(0.4)}{(1.67*10^{-27})}

v = 4.79 x 10⁷m/s

Now, the kinetic energy, K, is given by;

K = \frac{1}{2}mv²

m = mass of proton

v = velocity of the proton as calculated above

K = \frac{1}{2}(1.67*10^{-27} * (4.79 * 10^7)^2 )

K = 1.92 x 10⁻¹²J

The kinetic energy is 1.92 x 10⁻¹²J

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

When you calculate the SLOPE of a line segment, what does the SLOPE represent? (Choose all that apply) the Distance traveled the Displacement the Velocity the Acceleration None of the above

The slope of any time graph can not give you distance or displacement except for position - time graph.

When you plot either distance or displacement against time, that is, distance time graph or displacement time graph, you can get speed or velocity as the slope of the line segment.

You can only acceleration as a slope in a line of best fit if velocity is plotted against time. That is, in a velocity time graph.
