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

The density of a block of wood is 694 kg/m3. Its mass is 689 g. We tie the block to the bottom of a swimming pool using a single
Serhud [2]

Answer:

<em>The tension in the string = 2.065 N</em>

Explanation:

From Archimedes principle,

R.d = density of the wood block/density of water = weight of the wood block/Upthrust of the wood block in water.

R.d = D₁/D₂ = W/U

W/U =D₁/D₂.................................. Equation 1

Where W = weight of the wood block, U = upthrust of the wood block in water, D₁ = Density of the wood block, D₂ = Density of water.

Making U the subject of the equation,

U = WD₂/D₁........................... Equation 2

Given: W =  mg = (689/1000)9.8 = 6.75 N,  D₁ = 694 kg/m³, D₂ = 1000 kg/m³.

Substituting these values into equation 2,

U = 6.75(694)/1000

U = 4684.5/1000

U = 4.685 N.

Note: Three forces act on the wood block in the pool. and they are

(i) The weight(W) acting downs

(ii) The upthrust (U) acting upwards,

(iii) The Tension (T) in the string, acting upwards.

Thus,

W = U+T

T = W - U ................................. Equation 3

Where W = 6.75 N, U = 4.685 N

T = 6.75 - 4.685

T = 2.065 N.

T = 2.065 N

<em>Thus the tension in the string = 2.065 N</em>
