Answer:

Explanation:

Situations in which an electron will be affected by an external electric field but will not be affected by an external magnetic field

a ) When an electron is stationary in the electric field and magnetic field , he will be affected by electric field but not by magnetic field. Magnetic field can exert force only on mobile charges.

b ) When the electron is moving parallel to electric field and magnetic field . In this case also electric field will  exert force on electron but magnetic field field will not exert force on electrons . Magnetic field can exert force only on the perpendicular component of the velocity of charged particles.

Situations when electron is affected by an external magnetic field but not by an external electric field

There is no such situation in which electric field will not affect an electron . It will always affect an electron .

After hitting the spring, the block is bounced back up the ramp. The maximum compression of the spring is Δx=0.03m, and the spri
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

v = 1.28 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Maximum compression of the spring, \Delta x=0.03\ m

Spring constant, k = 800 N/m

Mass of the block, m = 0.2 kg

To find,

The velocity of the block when it first reaches a height of 0.1 m above the ground on the ramp.

Solution,

When the block is bounced back up the ramp, the total energy of the system remains conserved. Let v is the velocity of the block such that,

Initial energy = Final energy

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=mgh+\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Substituting all the values in above equation,

\dfrac{1}{2}\times 800\times 0.03^2=0.2\times 9.8\times 0.1+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.2\times v^2

v = 1.28 m/s

Therefore the velocity of block when it first reaches a height of 0.1 m above the ground on the ramp is 1.28 m/s.

The largest salami in the world, made in Norway, was more than 20 m long. If a hungry mouse ran around the salami’s circumferenc
Musya8 [376]

Answer: 0.09 m

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration in terms of tangential speed is:

a_c=\frac{v^2_t}{r}

where r is the radius.

It is given that,

centripetal acceleration of the mouse, a_c=0.29 m/s^2

tangential speed , v_t=0.17m/s

Radius of salami is:

r =\frac{(0.17m/s)^2}{0.29 m/s^2}=0.09m

Thus, the radius of the salami is 0.09 m.

Rain drops fall on a tile surface at a density of 4638 drops/ft2. There are 17 tiles/ft2. How many drops fall on each tile? Answ
Vinil7 [7]

Answer: 272.82 drop/tile

Explanation:

Given that the Rain drops fall on a tile surface at a density of 4638 drops/ft2. There are 17 tiles/ft2. How many drops fall on each tile?

Tiles/ft^2 × drop/tiles = drop/ft^2

Tiles will cancel out. Leaving the answer to be drop/ ft^2

Substitutes all the magnitude of the above units.

17 × drop/tiles = 4638

Make drop/tiles the subject of formula

Drop/tiles = 4638/17

Drop/tiles = 272.82

Therefore, 272.82 drop/tile drops fall on each tile?

Which part of a wind-powered system ultimately produces the electricity? A. nacelle B. blade C. turbine D. generator
djverab [1.8K]
<span>The correct answer is: (D) Generator

Explanation:
In wind-powered systems, the wind energy turns the blades around the rotor of a wind turbine. That rotor is connected to a generator that generates electricity. In other words, the kinectic energy of the wind is converted into electrical energy by using the generator in the wind-powered systems.</span>
