The particle is an electron. the field slows down the electron without deflecting it. what is the direction of the electric fiel
sammy [17]

The particle is an electron. The field slows down the electron without deflecting it. The direction of the electric field is <u>right.</u>

In physics, the motion of electrically charged particles gives rise to a field called an electric field. It is measured in force per unit charge.

This field applies force on other charged particles.

Particles bearing opposite charges attract each other while particles having similar charges repel each other in the field.

If a positive charge is placed in the field then the field line moves in an outward direction and for a negative charge, the direction of the lines is inward.

What is the kinetic energy of a an 80kg football player running at 8 m/s?
Ugo [173]
In the question it is already given that the football player is 80 kg.
Then the mass of the football player = 80 kg
Velocity at which the football player is running = 8 m/s
<span>Kinetic Energy = 0.5 • mass • square of velocity
Now we have to put the known data in this equation to find the actual velocity of the footballer.
</span> <span></span>So
Kinetic Energy of the footballer = 0.5 * 80 * (8 * 8)
                                                 = 0.5 * 80 * 64
                                                 = 2560
So the Kinetic energy of the footballer is 2560 joules

A sinusoidal transverse wave of amplitude ym = 8.4 cm and wavelength = 5.3 cm travels on a stretched cord. Find the ratio of the
Scilla [17]

Answer:

The ratio is 9.95

Solution:

As per the question:

Amplitude, y_{m} = 8.4\ cm

Wavelength, \lambda = 5.3\ cm

Now,

To calculate the ratio of the maximum particle speed to the speed of the wave:

For the maximum speed of the particle:

v_{m} = y_{m}\times \omega

where

\omega = 2\pi f = angular speed of the particle

Thus

v_{m} = 2\pi fy_{m}

Now,

The wave speed is given by:

v = f\lambda

Now,

The ratio is given by:

\frac{v_{m}}{v} = \frac{2\pi fy_{m}}{f\lambda}

\frac{v_{m}}{v} = \frac{2\pi \times 8.4}{5.3} = 9.95

find the potential energy of an aircraft weighing 10000 bs at 5000 ft true altitude and 125 kts true air speed
Cloud [144]

Answer:

U=5*10^7ft.Ib

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Weight  W= 10000bs

Altitude H=5000ft

Speed    V=125kts\\1kts=0.514m/s\\V=125*0.514=>64.25m/s

Generally the equation for Potential energy ids mathematically given as

Potential\ Energy\ U=mgh

U=Wh

U=10000*5000

U=5*10^7ft.Ib
