<h2>Answer:</h2>

0.17T

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

When a charged particle moves into a magnetic field perpendicularly, it experiences a magnetic force F_{M} which is perpendicular to the magnetic field and direction of the velocity. This motion is circular and hence there is a balance between the centripetal force F_{C} and the magnetic force. i.e

F_{C} = F_{M}     --------------(i)

<em>But;</em>

F_{C} = \frac{mv^2}{r}   [m = mass of the particle, r = radius of the path, v = velocity of the charge]

F_{M} = qvB [q = charge on the particle, B = magnetic field strength, v = velocity of the charge ]

<em>Substitute these into equation (i) as follows;</em>

\frac{mv^2}{r} = qvB

<em>Make B subject of the formula;</em>

B = \frac{mV}{qr}            ---------------(ii)

<em>Known constants</em>

m = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷kg

q = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C

<em>From the question;</em>

v = 1.4 x 10⁷m/s

r = 0.85m

Substitute these values into equation(ii) as follows;

B = \frac{1.67 * 10 ^{-27} * 1.4 * 10^{7}}{1.6 * 10^{-19} * 0.85}

B = 0.17T

Therefore, the magnetic field strength is 0.17T

Nope.
False.

If the man on the left pulls on the object with a force of 500 N and the man on the right pulls on the object with a force of 75
Igoryamba
Force is a vector quantity
so pulling from opposite side will be negative
so
750+(-500)= 250N
C is the right answer
becauseause the man on the right applies greater force.

Real springs have mass. How will the true period andfrequency
Ad libitum [116K]

Explanation:

An perfect mass less spring, attached at one end and with a free mass attached at the other end, will have a distinct frequency of oscillation depending on its constant spring and mass. On the other hand, a spring with mass along its length will not have a characteristic frequency of oscillation.

Alternatively, based on its spring constant and mass per length, it will now have a wave Speed. It would be possible to use all wavelengths and frequencies, as long as the component fλ= S, where S is the spring wave size. If that sounds like longitudinal waves, like solid sound waves.
