Describe a situation in which an electron will be affected by an external electric field but will not be affected by an external

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 .

A car with a constant velocity of 22 m/s is driven for 6.8 s. How far did it travel? (V =A d/AT)
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer: 150 m

Explanation:

velocity = 22 m/s

t = 6.8 s

velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

distance = velocity × time

= 22 × 6.8

= 149.6 m

≈ 150 m

A 4.87-kg ball of clay is thrown downward from a height of 3.21 m with a speed of 5.21 m/s onto a spring with k = 1570 N/m. The
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Approximately 0.560\; {\rm m}, assuming that:

  • the height of 3.21\; {\rm m} refers to the distance between the clay and the top of the uncompressed spring.
  • air resistance on the clay sphere is negligible,
  • the gravitational field strength is g = 9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}, and
  • the clay sphere did not deform.

Explanation:

Notations:

  • Let k denote the spring constant of the spring.
  • Let m denote the mass of the clay sphere.
  • Let v denote the initial speed of the spring.
  • Let g denote the gravitational field strength.
  • Let h denote the initial vertical distance between the clay and the top of the uncompressed spring.

Let x denote the maximum compression of the spring- the only unknown quantity in this question.

After being compressed by a displacement of x, the elastic potential energy \text{PE}_{\text{spring}} in this spring would be:

\displaystyle \text{PE}_{\text{spring}} = \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2}.

The initial kinetic energy \text{KE} of the clay sphere was:

\displaystyle \text{KE} = \frac{1}{2}\, m \, v^{2}.

When the spring is at the maximum compression:

  • The clay sphere would be right on top of the spring.
  • The top of the spring would be below the original position (when the spring was uncompressed) by x.
  • The initial position of the clay sphere, however, is above the original position of the top of the spring by h = 3.21\; {\rm m}.

Thus, the initial position of the clay sphere (h = 3.21\; {\rm m} above the top of the uncompressed spring) would be above the max-compression position of the clay sphere by (h + x).

The gravitational potential energy involved would be:

\text{GPE} = m\, g\, (h + x).

No mechanical energy would be lost under the assumptions listed above. Thus:

\text{PE}_\text{spring} = \text{KE} + \text{GPE}.

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\, m\, v^{2} + m\, g\, (h + x).

Rearrange this equation to obtain a quadratic equation about the only unknown, x:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2} - m\, g\, x - \left[\left(\frac{1}{2}\, m\, v^{2}\right)+ (m\, g\, h)\right] = 0.

Substitute in k = 1570\; {\rm N \cdot m^{-1}}, m = 4.87\; {\rm kg}, v = 5.21\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}, g = 9.81\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-2}}, and h = 3.21\; {\rm m}. Let the unit of x be meters.

785\, x^{2} - 47.775\, x - 219.453 \approx 0 (Rounded. The unit of both sides of this equation is joules.)

Solve using the quadratic formula given that x \ge 0:

\begin{aligned}x &\approx \frac{-(-47.775) + \sqrt{(-47.775)^{2} - 4 \times 785 \times (-219.453)}}{2 \times 785} \\ &\approx 0.560\; {\rm m}\end{aligned}.

(The other root is negative and is thus invalid.)

Hence, the maximum compression of this spring would be approximately 0.560\; {\rm m}.
