It would be negative regardless of what you define as a positive direction.

A boy flies a kite with the string at a 30 degree angle to the horizontal. The tension in the string is 4.5N .
sp2606 [1]
How much work in J does the string do on the boy if the boy stands still? 

<span>answer: None. The equation for work is W = force x distance. Since the boy isn't moving, the distance is zero. Anything times zero is zero </span>
<span>--------------------------------------... </span>
<span>How much work does the string do on the boy if the boy walks a horizontal distance of 11m away from the kite? </span>

<span>answer: might be a trick question since his direction away from the kite and his velocity weren't noted. Perhaps he just set the string down and walked away 11m from the kite. If he did this, it is the same as the first one...no work was done by the sting on the boy. </span>

<span>If he did walk backwards with no velocity indicated, and held the string and it stayed at 30 deg the answer would be: </span>
<span>4.5N + (boys negative acceleration * mass) = total force1 </span>
<span>work = total force1 x 11 meters </span>
<span>--------------------------------------... </span>

<span>How much work does the string do on the boy if the boy walks a horizontal distance of 11m toward the kite? </span>

<span>answer: same as above only reversed: </span>
<span>4.5N - (boys negative acceleration * mass) = total force2 </span>
<span>work = total force2 x 11 meters</span>

A 15x10^-6c charge is placed at the origin and a 9x10^-6C charge is placed on the x-axis at x=1.00m. where, on the x-axis is the
Harlamova29_29 [7]

The Electric field is zero at a distance 2.492 cm from the origin.

Let A be point where the charge 15\times10^-6 C is placed which is the origin.

Let B be the point where the charge 9\times 10^-6 C is placed. Given that B is at a distance 1 cm from the origin.

Both the charges are positive. But charge at origin is greater than that of B. So we can conclude that the point on the x-axis where the electric field = 0 is after B on x - axis.

i.e., at distance 'x' from B.

Using Coulomb's law, \frac{kQ_A^2}{d_A^2} = \frac{kQ_B^2}{d_B^2},

Q_A = 15\times 10^-6 C

Q_B=9\times10^-6C

d_A = 1+x cm

d_B=x cm

k is the Coulomb's law constant.

On substituting the values into the above equation, we get,

\frac{(15\times10^-6)^2}{(1+x)^2} =\frac{(9\times10^-6)^2}{x^2}

Taking square roots on both sides and simplifying and solving for x, we get,

1.67x = 1+x

Therefore, x = 1.492 cm

Hence the electric field is zero at a distance 1+1.492 = 2.492 cm from the origin.

A mass spectrometer applies a voltage of 2.00 kV to accelerate a singly charged positive ion. A magnetic field of B = 0.400 T th
N76 [4]

The mass of the ion is 5.96 X 10⁻²⁵ kg

<u>Explanation:</u>

The electrical energy given to the ion Vq will be changed into kinetic energy \frac{1}{2}mv^2

As the ion moves with velocity v in a magnetic field B then the magnetic Lorentz force Bqv will be balanced by centrifugal force \frac{mv^2}{r}.

So,

Vq = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

and

Bqv = \frac{mv^2}{r}

Right from these eliminating v, we can derive

m = \frac{B^2r^2q}{2V}

On substituting the value, we get:

m = \frac{(0.4)^2X (0.305)^2 X1.602X 10^-^1^9}{2X 2000}\\\\

m = 5.96 X 10⁻²⁵ kg.
