The car's acceleration is negative if ...

-- it's going slower and slower in the direction that you call 'positive',

OR . . .

-- it's going faster and faster in the direction opposite
to what you call 'positive',

OR . . .

-- it's driving around in a circle AND you call the direction
OUT from the center of the circle the 'positive' direction.

When a car is slowing down, it has a negative acceleration.  Although it is not going a negative speed, it is decreasing in velocity, which is the definition of a negative acceleration.

Hope this helps!

Darina [25.2K]

Your potential energy and mass don't tell what your weight is.

If I walk up from the first floor to the second floor, my weight hasn't
changed even though my potential energy has increased.

A proton is moving in a circular orbit of radius 12 cm in a uniform 0.31-T magnetic field perpendicular to the velocity of the p
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Explanation:

A proton of charge

q=+1.609×10^-19C

Orbit a radius of 12cm

r=0.12m

Magnetic Field of 0.31T

Angle between velocity and field is 90°

a. Because the magnetic force F supplies the centripetal force Fc.

The magnitude of the magnetic force F on a charge q moving at a speed v in a magnetic field of strength B is given by

F = qvB sin θ

And the centripetal force is given as

Fc=mv²/r

Where m is mass of proton

m=1.673×10^-27kg

Then, F=Fc

qvB sin θ=mv²/r

qBSin90=mv/r

rqB=mv

Then, v=rqB/m

v=0.12×1.609×10^-19×0.31/1.673×10^-23

v=3577692.78m/s

v=3.58×10^6m/s

b. Since,

F=qVBSin90

F=1.609×10^-19×3.58×10^6×0.31

F=1.785×10^-13 N.
