Answer:

towards the south

Explanation:

When the electron enters the region with magnetic field, it experiences a magnetic force perpendicular to both the directions of the electron's velocity and the magnetic field.

The direction of the force exerted on the electron can be found by using the right-hand rule:

- Index finger: direction of the velocity of the electron --> towards the east

- Middle finger: direction of the magnetic field --> downward

- Thumb: direction of the force on a positive particle --> towards the north

However, the electron is a negatively charged particle, so we must reverse the direction of the force: therefore, the force exerted on the electron is towards the south.

A hot–air balloon is moving at a speed of 10.0 meters/second in the +x–direction. The balloonist throws a brass ball in the +x–d
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

The balloon lands horizontally at a distance of 420 m from a point where it as released.

Velocity of air balloon along +X axis =10 m/s

velocity of ball=4 m/s along + X axis

the velocity of balloon gets added to the velocity of ball. So the resultant velocity of the balloon=10+4 = 14 m/s

time taken= 30 s

The distance traveled is given by d= v t

d= 14 (30)

d= 420 m

Thus the balloon lands horizontally at a distance of 420 m from a point where it as released.

Jlenok [28]

Well, I guess you can come close, but you can't tell exactly.

It must be presumed that the seagull was flying through the air
when it "let fly" so to speak, so the jettisoned load of ballast
of which the bird unburdened itself had some initial horizontal
velocity.

That impact velocity of 98.5 m/s is actually the resultant of
the horizontal component ... unchanged since the package
was dispatched ... and the vertical component, which grew
all the way down in accordance with the behavior of gravity.

  98.5 m/s  =  √ [ (horizontal component)² + (vertical component)² ].

The vertical component is easy; that's (9.8 m/s²) x (drop time).
Since we're looking for the altitude of launch, we can use the
formula for 'free-fall distance' as a function of acceleration and
time:

             Height = (1/2) (acceleration) (time²) .

If the impact velocity were comprised solely of its vertical
component, then the solution to the problem would be a
piece-o-cake.

                  Time = (98.5 m/s) / (9.81 m/s²) = 10.04 seconds
whence
                 Height = (1/2) (9.81) (10.04)²

                            =   (4.905 m/s²) x (100.8 sec²)  =  494.43 meters.

As noted, this solution applies only if the gull were hovering with
no horizontal velocity, taking careful aim, and with malice in its
primitive brain, launching a remote attack on the rich American.

If the gull was flying at the time ... a reasonable assumption ... then
some part of the impact velocity was a horizontal component.  That
implies that the vertical component is something less than 98.5 m/s,
and that the attack was launched from an altitude less than 494 m.

When mapping the equipotentials on the plates with different electrode configurations you may find that some have significant ar
Olenka [21]

Answer:

v = 10 V and E = 2 10³ N/C

Explanation:

The electrical potentials and the electric field at one point are related by the expression

            ΔV = - ∫ E. dS

Where the bold indicates vector quantities, E is the electric field and S is the line of displacement of the load, in general displacement is perpendicular to the equipotential lines, which reduces the product scales to the ordinary product.

 If the potential difference is the most usual that is V = 10 V, the electric field is

   s = 0.5 cm = 0.5 10⁻² m

                E = ΔV / S

                E = 10/0.5 10⁻²

                 E = 2 10³ N / C
