Answer:

C) upward

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using the right-hand rule.

First of all, we notice at the location of the negatively charged particle (above the wire), the magnetic field produced by the wire points out of the page (because the current is to the right, so by using the right hand, putting the thumb to the right (as the current) and wrapping the other fingers around it, we see that the direction of the field above the wire is out of the page).

Now we can apply the right hand rule to the charged particle:

- index finger: velocity of the particle, to the right

- middle finger: direction of the magnetic field, out of the page

- thumb: direction of the force, downward --> however, the charge is negative, so we must reverse the direction --> upward

Therefore, the direction of  the magnetic force is upward.

John and Linda are arguing about the definition of density. John says the density of an object is proportional to itsmass. Linda
NeX [460]

Answer:

They are both correct.

Explanation:

The density of an object is defined as the ratio of its mass to its volume. This implies that the density of the object is both proportional to the mass and also to the volume of the object. John only mentioned mass which is correct. Linda mentioned the second variable on which density depends which is the volume of the object.

Hence considering the both statements objectively, one can say that they are both correct.

Which of the following is one way that an electric motor's rotation speed can be controlled?
malfutka [58]
Depending on which type of motor you're talking about, but the first 3 are true.  A stronger magnetic field in a DC motor will slow it down but increase its torque.
The amount of current in the motor will control the magnetic fields and therefore affect the speed (and torque).  In an induction motor, the rotational speed is given by n= \frac{120f}{p}  where f is the line frequency and p is the number of poles.  Thus fewer poles makes it go faster.

How many days does the earth take to rotate around the sun
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

1 day

Explanation:

The spinning movement of Earth around its axis is known as Earth's rotation.

The Earth rotates around the Sun in 1 day that is 24 hours but once in every 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds with respect to other stars.

According to the Indian astronomer Aryabhata, Earth rotates about its axis daily.
