An electron traveling horizontally to the right enters a region where a uniform electric field is directed downward. What is the

direction of the electric force exerted on the electron once it has entered the electric field?

Answer:

Upward

Explanation:

For charged particles immersed in an electric field:

- if the particle is positively charged, the direction of the force is the same as the direction of the electric field

- if the particle is negatively charged, the direction of the force is opposite to the direction of the electric field

In this problem, we have an electron - so a negatively charged particle - so the direction of the force is opposite to that of the electric field.

Since the electric field is directed downward, therefore, the electric force on the electron will be upward.

Why do radio waves have the lowest frequency of all the waves on the electromagnetic spectrum?
lara [203]

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are the waves which are created as the result of the electrical waves which are perpendicular to each other and also perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

Electromagnetic spectrum is range of the frequencies and their respective wavelengths of the various type of the electromagnetic radiation.

In order of the increasing frequency and the photon energy and the decreasing wavelength the spectrum are:  

radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays.

The energy of the radio waves photons is the lowest of all the other waves in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Also, E={h\times \nu}

Where,  

h is Plank's constant having value 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js

Thus, energy is directly proportional to the frequency. The radio waves have the lowest frequency.

A beryllium-9 ion has a positive charge that is double the charge of a proton, and a mass of 1.50 ✕ 10−26 kg. At a particular in
seropon [69]

Answer:

Magnetic force, F = 3.52\times 10^{-13}\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

A beryllium-9 ion has a positive charge that is double the charge of a proton, q=2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C=3.2\times 10^{-19}\ C

Speed of the ion in the magnetic field, v=5\times 10^6\ m/s

Its velocity makes an angle of 61° with the direction of the magnetic field at the ion's location.

The magnitude of the field is 0.220 T.

We need to find the magnitude of the magnetic force on the ion. It is given by :

F=qvB\\\\F=3.2\times 10^{-19}\times 5\times 10^6\times 0.22\\\\F=3.52\times 10^{-13}\ N

So, the magnitude of magnetic force on the ion is 3.52\times 10^{-13}\ N.

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

v_{avg} = 0

Explanation:

As we know that average velocity is defined as the ratio of total displacement of the object and its time interval.

so here we can say

v_{avg} = \frac{displacement}{time}

now we know that in one complete revolution the total displacement of the tip of the seconds hand is zero

because it will have same position after one complete revolution from where it starts

so here we can say that the average velocity will be zero

v_{avg} = 0
