Answer:

The volume of the highway's asphalt will be 6,400 cubic meters.

Explanation:

Volume is the overall magnitude of the three dimensions of a given object, that is, its width, length and depth. Thus, to obtain the volume of a certain object, its width must be multiplied by its length and this result in turn by its depth: W x L x D.

Thus, in this case, the highway has a width of 8 meters, a height of 4 cm and a depth of 20 km. As a first measure, all units of measurement must be expressed in a uniform way, for which the meter will be used in this case. Thus, the width of the highway will not vary, while its height will go from 4 cm to 0.04 meters (4/100), and its length will go from 20 km to 20,000 meters (20 x 1,000).

So, to obtain the volume of the asphalt on this highway, the following calculation must be performed:

8 x 0.04 x 20,000 = Volume

6,400 = Volume

Thus, the volume of the highway's asphalt will be 6,400 cubic meters.

If a steady magnetic field exerts a force on a moving charge, that force is directed
lesya [120]

Answer:

C) at right angles to the direction of the motion

Explanation:

The magnetic force exerted on a charged moving particle is given by

F=qvBsin \theta

where

q is the charge of the particle

v is the velocity of the particle

B is the magnetic field intensity

\theta is the angle between the direction of v and B

Moreover, the direction of the force is perpendicular to both v and B. In particular, the direction can be found by using the right hand rule:

- index finger: direction of the velocity

- middle finger: direction of the magnetic field

- thumb: direction of the force (if the charge is positive, otherwise the direction must be reversed if the charge is negative)
