An electron travels west to east with a kinetic energy of 10 keV. The Earth's magnetic field in Pittsburgh is 19,911.5 nT in the

north direction, 3,257.1 nT in the west direction and 48,381.8 nT in the vertical direction. a) What is the force acting on the electron? b) What is the acceleration of the electron?

Explanation:

It is given that,

Kinetic energy of the electron, E_k=10\ keV=10^4\ eV=1.6\times 10^{-15}\ J

Let the east direction is +x direction, north direction is +y direction and vertical direction is +z direction.    

The magnetic field in north direction, B_y=19911.5\ nT

The magnetic field in west direction, B_x=-3257.1\ nT

The magnetic field in vertical direction, B_z=48381.8 \ nT

Magnetic field, B=(-3257.1i+19911.5j+48381.8k)\ nT

Firstly calculating the velocity of the electron using the kinetic energy formulas as :

E_k=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2E_k}{m}}

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-15}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}}

v=5.92\times 10^7 i\ m/s (as it is moving from west to east)

The force acting on the charged particle in the magnetic field is given by :

F=q(v\times B)

F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times (5.92\times 10^7 i\times (-3257.1i+19911.5j+48381.8k)\times 10^{-9})

Since, i\times j=k\ \\j\times k=i\\k\times i=j

And, i\times i=j\times j=k\times k=0

F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times [1178 k-2864.20j]

|F|=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times \sqrt{1178^2+2864.20^2}

F=4.95\times 10^{-16}\ N

(b) Let a is the acceleration of the electron. It can be calculated as :

a=\dfrac{F}{m}

a=\dfrac{4.95\times 10^{-16}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}

a=5.43\times 10^{14}\ m/s^2

Hence, this is the required solution.

3) A tolley of mass 4kg, moving with a velocity
Leokris [45]

Answer:

3.57 m/s

Explanation:

The sum of the 2 momentums Is equal the finale momentums. so if momentums Is q, v Is velocity and m Is Mass, q3=m1*v1+m2**v2=16+9=25 m*kg/s

q3=m3*v3

v3=q3/m3=25/(4+3)=3.57m/s

An astronaut finds herself in a predicament in which she has become untethered from her shuttle. She figures that she could get
Blizzard [7]

In order to solve the problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum, especially when there is an impact or the throwing of an object.

The equation that defines the linear moment is given by

mV_i = (m-m_O)V_f - m_OV_O

where,

m=Total mass

m_O = Mass of Object

V_i = Velocity before throwing

V_f = Final Velocity

V_O = Velocity of Object

Our values are:

m_1=5.3kgm_2=7.9kg\\m_3=10.5kg\\m_A=75kg\\m_{Total}=m=98.7Kg

Solving to find the final speed, after throwing the object we have

V_f=\frac{mV_0+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}

We have three objects. For each object a launch is made so the final mass (denominator) will begin to be subtracted successively. In addition, during each new launch the initial speed will be given for each object thrown again.

That way during each section the equations should be modified depending on the previous one, let's start:

A) 5.3Kg\rightarrow 15m/s

V_{f1}=\frac{mV_0+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}

V_{f1}=\frac{(98.7)*0+5.3*15}{98.7-5.3}

V_{f1}=0.8511m/s

B) 7.9Kg\rightarrow 11.2m/s

V_{f2}=\frac{mV_{f1}+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}

V_{f2}=\frac{(98.7)(0.8511)+(7.9)(11.2)}{98.7-5.3-7.9}

V_{f2} = 2.0173m/s

C) 10.5Kg\rightarrow 7m/s

V_{f3}=\frac{mV_{f2}+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}

V_{f3}=\frac{(98.7)(2.0173)+(10.5)(7)}{98.7-5.3-7.9-10.5}

V_{f3} = 3.63478m/s

Therefore the final velocity of astronaut is 3.63m/s

Two identical speakers are emitting a constant tone that has a wavelength of 0.50 m. Speaker A is located to the left of speaker
Marianna [84]

Answer:

a) and c).

Explanation:

For a complete destructive interference occur, it must be met the following condition relating the wavelength, and the difference in the paths taken by the sound emitted by the sources until arriving to the listening point:

d = |dA- dB| = (2n-1)*(λ/2)

For n= 1,  d = λ/2 = 0.25 m, it doesn't meet any of the cases.

For n=2, d= 3*(λ/2) = 0.75 m

In the case a) we have dA = 2.15 m and dB = 3.00 m, so dB-dA = 0.75 m, which means that in the location stated by case a) a complete destructive interference would occur.

For n=3, d= 5*(λ/2) = 5*0.25 m = 1.25 m.

This is just the case c) because we have dA = 3.75 m and dB = 2.50 m, so dA-dB = 1.25 m, which means that in the location stated by case c) a complete destructive interference would occur also.

The remaining cases don't meet the condition stated above, so the statements found to be true are a) and c),
