magnetic field. Is it possible that an electron is affected by an external magnetic field but not by an external electric field?

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 .

Explain how to determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object such as a rock
alexira [117]
If you have no way to accurately measure all of the object's bumps and dimples, then the only way to measure its volume is by means of fluid displacement. 

-- Put some water into a graduated (marked) container, read the amount of water, drop the object into the container, and read the new volume in the container.  The volume of the object is the difference between the two readings.

-- Alternatively, stand an unmarked container in a large pan, and fill it to the brim. Slowly slowly lower the object into the unmarked container, while the pan catches the water that overflows from it.  When the object is completely down in the container, carefully remove the container from the pan, and measure the volume of the water in the pan.  It's equal to the volume of the object.

6. Two light bulbs are designed for use at 120 V and are rated at 75 W and 150 W. Which light bulb has the greater filament resi
Nonamiya [84]

\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}

  • P is power
  • R is resistance

\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}

Hence

\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow R\propto V

\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow R\propto \dfrac{1}{P}

  • Therefore if power is low then resistance will be high.

The first bulb has less power hence it has greater filament resistance.

A motorcyclist heading east through a small town accelerate at constant 4.0meter per seconds square after he leaves the limits.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

A) The position at t = 2.0 sec is 43.0 m east

B) The position is 55 m east

Explanation:

A)

In order to solve the problem, we take the east direction as positive direction.

We know that:

- at t = 0, the motorcyclist is at a position of x_0 = 5.0 m

- at t = 0, the initial velocity of the motorcyclist is v_0 = 15.0 m east

- The acceleration of the motorcyclist is constant and it is a=4.0 m/s^2

Since the motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, the position of the motorcylist is given by the expression

x(t)=x_0 + v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

where t is the time.

Substituting t = 2.0 s, we find the position:

x(2.0)=(5.0)+(15)(2.0)+\frac{1}{2}(4.0)(2.0)^2=43 m

B)

The velocity of the motoryclist can be found by calculating the derivative of the position. Therefore, it is:

v(t)=x'(t)=v_0 + at

where:

v_0=15.0 m/s is the initial velocity

a=4.0 m/s^2 is the acceleration

We want to find the time t at which the velocity is

v = 25 m/s

Solving the equation for t,

t=\frac{v-v_0}{a}=\frac{25-15}{4}=2.5 s

And therefore, the position at t = 2.5 s is:

x(2.5s)=5.0+(15.0)(2.5)+\frac{1}{2}(4)(2.5)^2=55 m
