A proton moves with a speed of 1.17 105 m/s through Earth's magnetic field, which has a value of 50.0 µT at a particular locatio

n. When the proton moves eastward, the magnetic force acting on it is directed straight upward, and when it moves northward, no magnetic force acts on it.
(a) What is the direction of the magnetic field?

(b) What is the strength of the magnetic force when the proton moves eastward? ?N

(c) Calculate the gravitational force on the proton and compare it with the magnetic force. Compare it also with the electric force if there were an electric field with magnitude E = 1.50 102 N/C at that location, a common value at Earth's surface. Note that the mass of the proton is 1.67 10-27 kg. Fgrav = N Felec = N

Suppose an electron is moving due west in the same magnetic field as in the example at a speed of 2.95 105 m/s. Find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on the electron. F = ?N

a) Southward you need to apply right hand rule. If you close your hand to the east, your thumb will indicate south.

b) Given the equation for Magnetic Force

F= qVB

Replacing

F= (1.16*10^{-19})(1.17*10^5)(50*10^{-6})

F=9.36*10^{-19}

c) Given the second Newton's Law by

F_g = 1.67*10^{-27}*9.81

F_g = 1.64*10^{-26}

Given the electric force by,

F_e = 1.6*10^{-19}*1.5*10^2

F_e = 2.4*10^{-17}N

F=9.36*10^{-19}N

Given that the distance from the left end of the string to the first antinode is 27.5 cm , calculate the wavelength of the stand
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

= 0.55 m

Explanation:

A standing wave is characterized by anti-nodes and nodes.

Antinodes are points on a standing wave at maximum amplitude, while nodes are points on the standing wave that are stationary and have zero amplitude.

The distance between two adjacent nodes or two adjacent anti-nodes is equivalent to half the wavelength.

Therefore, in this case the half wavelength is 27.5 cm.

Thus, wavelength = 27.5 × 2

                              = 55 cm

                             <u>= 0.55 m</u>

If a block of wood dropped from a tall building has attained a velocity of 78.4 m/s how long has it been falling
ryzh [129]

Gravity adds 9.8 m/s to the speed of a falling object every second.

An object dropped from 'rest' (v = 0) reaches the speed of 78.4 m/s after  falling for (78.4 / 9.8) = <em>8.0 seconds</em> .

<u>Note:</u>

In order to test this, you'd have to drop the object from a really high cell- tower, building, or helicopter.  After falling for 8 seconds and reaching a speed of 78.4 m/s, it has fallen 313.6 meters (1,029 feet) straight down.

The flat roof of the Aon Center . . . the 3rd highest building in Chicago, where I used to work when it was the Amoco Corporation Building . . . is 1,076 feet above the street.
