The aurora is caused when electrons and protons, moving in the earth's magnetic field of ≈5.0×10−5T, collide with molecules of t

he atmosphere and cause them to glow. Part A What is the radius of the circular orbit for an electron with speed 3.0×106 m/s ? Assume that the electron moves in a plane perpendicular to the magnetic field.

Answer:

r=0.341m

Explanation:

The circular movement is produced by the magnetic field:

F=q*v*B

This force is a centripetal force because the electron moves in a plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. For a centripetal Force, that produces a circular orbit with a radius r:

F=m*a=m*v^{2}/r

If we solve these two equations in order to find r, with the mass and charge of a electron:

qvB=mv^{2}/r\\r=mv/(qB)=9,1*10^{-31}*3*10^{6}/(1.6*10^{-19}*5*10^{-5})=0.341m

When will you say a body is in a) uniform acceleration (b) non uniform acceleration
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

See below ~

Explanation:

Part (a) :

We can say a body is in uniform acceleration if the acceleration of the object remains constant with respect to time throughout its motion.

Part (b) :

We can say a body is non-uniform acceleration if the acceleration of the body varies with respect to time throughout its motion.

According to the theory of plate tectonics, what drives the motion of the continents?
Alex
I’m deciding between E or D.. because for E it’s saying it’s changing ocean currents, but I’m thinking does that mean the earths precipitation or their climate. Best go with E, hope this helps

2. How have human activities and natural processes influenced the gradual or sudden change in global temperature? (You need a mi
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Human activities and natural processes have influenced the change in the global temperature by the following processes

1) Green house gas such as carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases produced by the combustion of fossil fuels the use of  industrial chemicals, the production of coal, and natural gas

2) Deforestation which reduces the natural process of conversion of carbon dioxide to oxygen, thereby, increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere

3) The accumulation of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere results in the trapping of heat in the atmosphere, causing the atmospheric temperature to rise

4) Changes in the amount of energy produced by the Sun can result in an increase or decrease in the atmospheric temperature

5) Volcanic activity that occurs at a sufficiently large scale can produce sulfur dioxide that blocks the rays of the Sun from reaching the Earth, resulting in a change of atmospheric temperature.

A 0.30 kg ball of putty is thrown at a stationary 1.2 kg cart. The ball of putty is initially moving with a speed of 6.0 m/s. Th
Lemur [1.5K]
<span>In order to determine the speed of the entire assembly, we employ conservation of momentum. Momentum p = mv where m is the object's mass and v is the velocity.
   The putty ball's initial momentum p1 = 0.3kg*6m/s = 1.8 kg*m/s
   That momentum is conserved, so the momentum of the new system having mass 0.3 kg + 1.2 kg = 1.5 kg is:
   1.8 kg*m/s = 1.5kg*v. Solving for v, we find that the velocity is 1.2 meters/second.</span>
