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.

A hollow cylinder of mass 2.00 kgkg, inner radius 0.100 mm, and outer radius 0.200 mm is free to rotate without friction around
kipiarov [429]

Answer: 2.86 m

Explanation:

To solve this question, we will use the law of conservation of kinetic and potential energy, which is given by the equation,

ΔPE(i) + ΔKE(i) = ΔPE(f) + ΔKE(f)

In this question, it is safe to say there is no kinetic energy in the initial state, and neither is there potential energy in the end, so we have

mgh + 0 = 0 + KE(f)

To calculate the final kinetic energy, we must consider the energy contributed by the Inertia, so that we then have

mgh = 1/2mv² + 1/2Iw²

To get the inertia of the bodies, we use the formula

I = [m(R1² + R2²) / 2]

I = [2(0.2² + 0.1²) / 2]

I = 0.04 + 0.01

I = 0.05 kgm²

Also, the angular velocity is given by

w = v / R2

w = 4 / (1/5)

w = 20 rad/s

If we then substitute these values in the equation we have,

0.5 * 9.8 * h = (1/2 * 0.5 * 4²) + (1/2 * 0.05 * 20²)

4.9h = 4 + 10

4.9h = 14

h = 14 / 4.9

h = 2.86 m

John ( body mass= 65 kg) is taking off for a long jump . Horizontal accerleration ax is 5m/s^2 and vertical acceleration ay is 0
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

(a) The horizontal ground reaction force  F_{g,x}=325\, N

(b)  The vertical ground reaction force F_{g,y}=696\, N

(c)   The resultant ground reaction force F_g=768\, N

Explanation:  

Given

John mass , m = 65 kg

Horizontal acceleration , a_x= 5.0 \frac{m}{s^{2}}

Vertical acceleration , a_y=0.9 \frac{m}{s^{2}}

(a) Using Newton's 2nd law in horizontal direction

F_{g,x}=ma_x

=>F_{g,x}=65\times 5\, N=325\, N

Thus the horizontal ground reaction force  F_{g,x}=325\, N

(b) Using Newton's 2nd law in vertical direction

F_{g,y}-mg=ma_y

=>F_{g,y}=mg+ma_y

=>F_{g,y}=65\times (9.81+0.9)\, N=696\, N

Thus the vertical ground reaction force F_{g,y}=696\, N

(c)  Resultant ground reaction force is

F_g=(F_{g,x}^{2}+F_{g,y}^{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}

=>F_g=(325^{2}+696^{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}\, N=768\, N

=>F_g=768\, N

Thus  the resultant ground reaction force F_g=768\, N

A toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5.24-g soft rubber ball. The spring is originally compressed by 5.01 cm and has a force
salantis [7]

Answer:

Speed will be equal to 1.40 m/sec

Explanation:

Mass of the rubber ball m = 5.24 kg = 0.00524 kg

Spring is compressed by 5.01 cm

So x = 5.01 cm = 0.0501 m

Spring constant k = 8.08 N/m

Frictional force f = 0.031 N

Distance moved by ball d = 15.8 cm = 0.158 m

Energy gained by spring

KE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 8.08\times 0.0501^2=0.0101J

Energy lost due to friction

W=Fd=0.031\times 0.158=0.0048J

So remained energy to move the ball = 0.0101 - 0.0048 = 0.0052 J

This energy will be kinetic energy

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=0.0052

\frac{1}{2}\times 0.00524\times v^2=0.0052

v = 1.40 m/sec

How are the mass and weight of an object related? Include a description with words and an equation.
nikdorinn [45]
The weight is the force experienced, whereas the mass represents the actual quantity of matter inside a body..
weigh on the surface of the earth is equal to mg
mass is m
and at the centre weight is 0 due to 0 acceleration that's 0 g
but mass is always constant and remains m, no matter where you are
