Answer:

Explanation:

The forces acting on a conductor carrying current placed in a magnetic field is analysed using the Fleming's left hand rule.

The rule states that "If the fire finger, the middle finger and the thumb are held mutually perpendicular to one another in a magnetic field, the fore finger acts in the direction of the magnetic field, the middle finger acts on the direction of the current while the thumb acts in the direction of the force.

Based on the rule, it can be inferred this current carrying wire placed in the magnetic field acts perpendicular to the magnetic field and force acting on the wire.

Answer:

The force that a particle of charge q and velocity v experiences when entering an electromagnetic field is:

F = q*(E + vxB)

Where E is the electric field and B is the magnetic field, here we only care for the magnetic field.

From this, we can see that the magnetic force will be perpendicular to the velocity and the magnetic field, and knowing that in a cable the electrons flow along the wire, we have that the force must be perpendicular to the wire and also to the magnetic field in where the wire is.

The only force acting on a 3.0 kg canister that is moving in an xy plane has a magnitude of 5.0 N. The canister initially has a
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The work done on the canister by the 5.0 N force during this time is

54.06 Joules.

Explanation:

Let the initial kinetic energy of the canister be

KE₁ = \frac{1}{2} mv_1^{2} = \frac{1}{2} *3*3.6^{2} = 19.44 J in the x direction

Let the the final kinetic energy of the canister be

KE₂ = \frac{1}{2} mv_2^{2} = \frac{1}{2} *3*7.0^{2} = 73.5 J in the y direction

Therefore from the Newton's first law of motion, the effect of the force is the change of momentum and the difference in energy between the initial and the final

= 73.5 J - 19.44 J = 54.06 J

If izzy mass is 0.3kg he applide 657.9n force what will be the accelration​
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

The acceleration of the body, a = 2193 m/s²

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of the body, m = 0.3 kg

The force acting on the body, F = 657.9 N

The force acting on an object is proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the body.

                         F = m x a

Therefore, the acceleration of the body is

                           a = F / m

                              = 657.9 N / 0.3 kg

                              = 2193 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the body, a = 2193 m/s²
