Honey bees can acquire a small net charge on the order of 1 pC as they fly through the air and interact with plants. Estimate th

e magnetic force on a honey bee due to Earth's magnetic field as the bee flies near the ground from east to west. Average speed of a bee is 15 miles/hour.
HINT: Model the honey bee as a moving, charged point particle. The direction the bee flies is significant.

FEEDBACK: Model the charged honey bee as a point particle.

Answer:

3.35\cdot 10^{-16}N

Explanation:

The force exerted on a charged particle due to a magnetic field is given by:

F=qvB sin \theta

where

q is the charge of the particle

v is the velocity of the particle

B is the magnetic field strength

\theta is the angle between the directions of B and v

In this problem we have:

q=1 pC=1\cdot 10^{-12} C is the charge of one honey bee

v=15 mi/h = 6.7 m/s is the velocity of the bee

B=5.0\cdot 10^{-5} T is the average strength of the Earth's magnetic field

\theta=90^{\circ}, because the bee flies east to west while the Earth's magnetic field is south to north

Substituting into the equation, we find:

F=(1\cdot 10^{-12}C)(6.7 m/s)(5.0\cdot 10^{-5} T)(sin 90^{\circ})=3.35\cdot 10^{-16}N

When two or more forces act together on an object what do they combine to form
Daniel [21]
Without knowing anything about their magnitudes or directions, the only thing you can always say about thier combination is that it's the "net force" on the object.

A 0.614mole sample of ideal gas at 12degree occupies a volume of 4.32.what is the pressure of the gas
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

336.9520 atm

Explanation:

The Gas Equation is as follows;-

Pressure×Volume=Number of Moles × Universal Gas Constant ×Temperature(in Kelvin)

Given Parameters

Number of moles-0.614 mol

Temperature 12°C or 12+273.15 ie 285.15°F

Volume-4.32 L

Universal Gas Constant-8.314 J/mol·K

Pressure -?(in atm)

Plugging in all the values in the Gas Equation:-

Pressure=\frac{0.614 × 8.314× 285.15}{4.32}   atm

Pressure=336.9520 atm

If you went to a planet that had the twice the radius as Earth, but the same mass, a 1 kg pineapple would have a weight of
kicyunya [14]

Use the law of universal gravitation, which says the force of gravitation between two bodies of mass <em>m</em>₁ and <em>m</em>₂ a distance <em>r</em> apart is

<em>F</em> = <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / <em>r</em>²

where <em>G</em> = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg².

The Earth has a radius of about 6371 km = 6.371 x 10⁶ m (large enough for a pineapple on the surface of the earth to have an effective distance from the center of the Earth to be equal to this radius), and a mass of about 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg, so the force of gravitation between the pineapple and the Earth is

<em>F</em> = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²) (1 kg) (5.97 x 10²⁴ kg) / (6.371 x 10⁶ m)²

<em>F</em> ≈ 9.81 N

Notice that this is roughly equal to the weight of the pineapple on Earth, (1 kg)<em>g</em>, where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, so that [force of gravity] = [weight] on any given planet.

This means that on this new planet with twice the radius of Earth, the pineapple would have a weight of

<em>F</em> = <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / (2<em>r</em>)² = 1/4 <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / <em>r</em>²

i.e. 1/4 of the weight on Earth, which would be about 2.45 N.

How do you find circular motion?​
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

By multiplying the rotational frequency with the circumference we can determine the average speed of the object. The circular velocity formula is expressed as, vc = 2 πr / T. Where in, r denotes the radius of the circular orbit. T is time period.
