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.

Can someone explain the law of conservation of energy?
Bad White [126]
The law of conservation of energy is:

-- Energy can't be created or destroyed.

-- Energy can't just appear out of nowhere.  If you suddenly have
more energy, then the 'extra' energy had to come from somewhere.

-- Energy can't just disappear.  If you suddenly have less energy,
then the 'missing' energy had to go somewhere.
________________________________________

There are also conservation laws for mass and electric charge.
They say exactly the same thing.  Just write 'mass' or 'charge'
in the sentences up above, in place of the word 'energy'.
________________________________________

And now I can tell you that the conservation laws for energy and mass
are actually one single law ... the conservation of mass/energy.  That's
because we discovered about 100 years ago that mass can convert
into energy, and energy can convert into mass, and it's the total of BOTH
of them that gets conserved (can't be created or destroyed).

How much mass makes how much energy ?

The answer is        E = m c²  .

What is the student's kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill if he is moving
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

KE = 10530 J or 10.53 KJ

Explanation:

The formula for kinetic energy is KE = 1/2 mv^2

Let's apply the formula:

KE = 1/2 mv^2

KE = 1/2 (65kg) (18m/s)^2

KE = 10530 J or 10.53 KJ

What is the target heart rate a female age 32
Airida [17]

Answer:

The normal resting heart rate for adults over the age of 10 years, including older adults, is between 60 and 100 beats per minute (bpm). Highly trained athletes may have a resting heart rate below 60 bpm, sometimes reaching 40 bpm. The resting heart rate can vary within this normal range.

What happens when you compress a gas?
8090 [49]
The density increases.
When gases are compressed, their volume decreases, and the resulting pressure increases. The temperature will change if either P or V are held constant. Since the volume decreases, then density, or m/V, increases.
P×V ~ T
