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

Two identical balls move directly toward each other with equal speeds. how will the balls move if they collide and stick togethe
Citrus2011 [14]
The momentum of both the identical balls would eventually be transferred to one another when it comes to a point wherein they will collide. In addition, the phenomenon is called an elastic collision wherein both the momentum and energy of the system would considered to be conserved.

What is the length a rubberband was stretched if it has a spring constant of 5700N/m and is currently holding 8600J OF POTENTIAL
lozanna [386]

Answer:

\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m

Explanation:

<u>Elastic Potential Energy </u>

Is the energy stored in an elastic material like a spring of constant k, in which case the energy is proportional to the square of the change of length Δx and the constant k.

\displaystyle PE = \frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2

Given a rubber band of a spring constant of k=5700 N/m that is holding potential energy of PE=8600 J, it's required to find the change of length under these conditions.

Solving for Δx:

\displaystyle \Delta x=\swrt{\frac{2PE}{k}}

Substituting:

\displaystyle \Delta x=\sqrt{\frac{2*8600}{5700}}

Calculating:

\displaystyle \Delta x=\sqrt{3.0175}

\boxed{\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m}

What happens in a global convection cell? apex​
zysi [14]

Answer:

In a global convection cell less –dense air at the equator rises and flows towards the poles. And from pole, the dense air sinks down and flows back towards the equator.... This movement of air is also supported by the Earth's rotation known as Coriolis Effect.
