Answer:

44.09 pounds

Explanation:

We got that 20 % of the mass of a nutty chocolate bar its pecans, if 4.0 kg of pecans were used, we need to find the X in the equation

0.2 * X = 4.0 \ kg

where X its the total mass of nutty chocolate bars produced. So, we can just divide by 0.2 on both sides, and we find:

X = 4.0 kg / 0.2

X = 20.0 \ kg

Of course, we need the total mass produced in pounds, and not in kilograms.  Looking at an conversion table, we can find that 1 kg its 2.20462 pounds, multiplying the value for total mass produced by the conversion factor we get:

X = 20.0 \ kg * 2.20462 \ \frac{pounds}{kg}

X = 44.0924 \ pounds

Now, we just need to round off to two significant figures. This is:

X = 44.09 \ pounds,

the total mass of nutty chocolate bars  made last Tuesday to two significant figures.

A proton is moving in a circular orbit of radius 12 cm in a uniform 0.31-T magnetic field perpendicular to the velocity of the p
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Explanation:

A proton of charge

q=+1.609×10^-19C

Orbit a radius of 12cm

r=0.12m

Magnetic Field of 0.31T

Angle between velocity and field is 90°

a. Because the magnetic force F supplies the centripetal force Fc.

The magnitude of the magnetic force F on a charge q moving at a speed v in a magnetic field of strength B is given by

F = qvB sin θ

And the centripetal force is given as

Fc=mv²/r

Where m is mass of proton

m=1.673×10^-27kg

Then, F=Fc

qvB sin θ=mv²/r

qBSin90=mv/r

rqB=mv

Then, v=rqB/m

v=0.12×1.609×10^-19×0.31/1.673×10^-23

v=3577692.78m/s

v=3.58×10^6m/s

b. Since,

F=qVBSin90

F=1.609×10^-19×3.58×10^6×0.31

F=1.785×10^-13 N.

determine the force of gravitational attraction between a 78kg boy sitting 2 meters away from a 65kg girl.
bixtya [17]

Answer:

F=8.45\times 10^{-8}\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a boy is 78 kg

Mass of a girl is 65 kg

We need to find the force of gravitational attraction between them if they are 2 m away.

The formula for the gravitational force is given by :

F=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}\\\\F=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 78\times 65}{(2)^2}\\\\=8.45\times 10^{-8}\ N

So, the force between them is 8.45\times 10^{-8}\ N.
