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)

The current in a single-loop circuit with one resistance R is 6.3 A. When an additional resistance of 3.4 Ω is inserted in serie

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

10.15Ω

Explanation:

From ohm's law,

V = IR...................... Equation 1

Where V = Voltage, I = current, R = resistance.

Assume the voltage across the resistance = V,

Given: I = 6.3 A

Substitute into equation 1

V = 6.3R.................. Equation 2

When an additional resistance of 3.4 Ω is inserted in series with R,

The voltage remain the same, but the current changes

Total Resistance(Rt) = (R+3.4)Ω, I' = 4.72 A

Also from ohm' law,

V = I'Rt............... Equation 3

Substitute the value of I' and Rt into equation 3

V = 4.72(R+3.4)............... Equation 5.

Divide equation 2 by equation 5

V/V = 6.3R/4.72(R+3.4)

1 = 1.335R/(R+3.4)

R+3.4 = 1.335R

3.4 = 1.335R-R

3.4 = 0.335R

R = 3.4/0.335

R = 10.15Ω

not all objects have a volume that is measured easily. If you were to determine the mass, volume, and density of your textbook,

Maslowich

Text book: We can measure the mass of the text book easily by weighing machine, to measure the volume we need to measure the length, width, and height of the text book by the ruler, by multiplying these dimension we can get the volume of the text book, and by dividing the mass of the book with its volume we can get the density of the book.

Milk Container: We can measure the mass of the milk container easily by weighing machine, now (assuming the milk container is cylindrical in shape) we need to measure its height, and and diameter and by the formula (π*r^2*h) we can measure its volume, and and by dividing the mass with its volume we can get the density of the milk container.

Air filled balloon: we can measure the mass of the air filled balloon by weighing it weight machine, we know that the density of air is 28.97 kg/m^3, by dividing the mass of the balloon with the denisty of air we can get the volume of the balloon.

A hydrogen atom in a galaxy moving with a speed of 6.65×106 m/???? away from the Earth emits light with a wavelength of 5.13×10−

Mumz [18]

Answer:

The observed wavelength on Earth from that hydrogen atom is $5.24\times 10^{-7}\ m$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

The actual wavelength of the hydrogen atom, $\lambda_a=5.13\times 10^{-7}\ m$

A hydrogen atom in a galaxy moving with a speed of, $v=6.65\times 10^6\ m/s$

We need to find the observed wavelength on Earth from that hydrogen atom. The speed of galaxy is given by :

$v=c\times \dfrac{\lambda_o-\lambda_a}{\lambda_a}$

$\lambda_o$ is the observed wavelength

$\lambda_o=\dfrac{v\lambda_a}{c}+\lambda_a\\\\\lambda_o=\dfrac{6.65\times 10^6\times 5.13\times 10^{-7}}{3\times 10^8}+5.13\times 10^{-7}\\\\\lambda_o=5.24\times 10^{-7}\ m$

So, the observed wavelength on Earth from that hydrogen atom is $5.24\times 10^{-7}\ m$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Explain the law of conversion of energy with an example and explain it

Sophie [7]

Answer:

The law of conservation of energy can be seen in these everyday examples of energy transference: Water can produce electricity. Water falls from the sky, converting potential energy to kinetic energy. ... The cue ball loses energy because the energy it had has been transferred to the 8 ball, so the cue ball slows down.

In any problems involving circular motion, which way does the tangential speed vector point?

Anton [14]

In what may be one of the most remarkable coincidences in
all of physical science, the tangential component of circular
motion points along the tangent to the circle at every point.

The object on a circular path is moving in that exact direction
at the instant when it is located at that point in the circle. The
centripetal force ... pointing toward the center of the circle ...
is the force that bends the path of the object away from a straight
line, toward the next point on the circle. If the centripetal force
were to suddenly disappear, the object would continue moving
from that point in a straight line, along the tangent and away from
the circle.
