An electromagnetic wave is traveling straight down toward the center of the Earth. At a certain moment in time the electric fiel

d points west. In which direction does the magnetic field point at this moment?
Physics

Answer:

North

Explanation:

In an electromagnetic wave, the direction of the wave, the direction of the electric field and the direction of the magnetic field are all perpendicular to each other.

Therefore, we can  find the direction of the magnetic field by using the right hand rule. We have:

- Index finger: direction of motion of the wave --> toward the center of Earth

- middle finger: direction of the electric field --> west

- thumb: direction of the magnetic field --> north

So, the magnetic field points north.

A 4.5 g coin sliding to the right at 23.8 cm/s makes an elastic head-on collision with a 13.5 g coin that is initially at rest.
Airida [17]

Answer:

a) v = 11.9\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s} \,(11.9\,\frac{cm}{s} ), b) \Delta K = 9.559\times 10^{-5}\,J

Explanation:

a) The final velocity of the 13.5 g coin is found by the Principle of Momentum Conservation:

(4.5\times 10^{-3}\,kg)\cdot (23.8\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s} )+(13.5\times 10^{-3}\,kg})\cdot (0\,\frac{m}{s} ) = (4.5\times 10^{-3}\,kg)\cdot (-11.9\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s} )+(13.5\times 10^{-3}\,kg})\cdot v

The final velocity is:

v = 11.9\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s} \,(11.9\,\frac{cm}{s} )

b) The change in the kinetic energy of the 13.5 g coin is:

\Delta K = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (13.5\times 10^{-3}\,kg)\cdot \left[(11.9\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}-(0\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}\right]

\Delta K = 9.559\times 10^{-5}\,J

5/137 Under the action of its stern and starboard bow thrusters, the cruise ship has the velocity vB = 1 m/s of its mass center
quester [9]

The image is missing, so i have attached it;

Answer:

A) V_rel = [-(2.711)i - (0.2588)j] m/s

B) a_rel = (0.8637i + 0.0642j) m/s²

Explanation:

We are given;

the cruise ship velocity; V_b = 1 m/s

Angular velocity; ω = 1 deg/s = 1° × π/180 rad = 0.01745 rad/s

Angular acceleration;α = -0.5 deg/s² = 0.5 x π/180 rad = -0.008727 rad/s²

Now, let's write Velocity (V_a) at A in terms of the velocity at B(V_b) with r_ba being the position vector from B to A and relative velocity (V_rel)

Thus,

V_a = V_b + (ω•r_ba) + V_rel

Now, V_a = 0. Thus;

0 = V_b + (ω•r_ba) + V_rel

V_rel = -V_b - (ω•r_ba)

From the image and plugging in relevant values, we have;

V_rel = -1[(cos15)i + (sin15)j] - (0.01745k * -100j)

V_rel = - (cos15)i - (sin15)j - 1.745i

Note that; k x j = - i

V_rel = [-(2.711)i - (0.2588)j] m/s

B) Let's write the acceleration at A with respect to B in terms of a_b.

Thus,

a_a = a_b + (α*r_ba) + (ω(ω•r_ba)) + (2ω*v_rel) + a_rel

a_a and a_b = 0.

Thus;

0 = (α*r_ba) + (ω(ω•r_ba)) + (2ω*v_rel) + a_rel

a_rel = - (α*r_ba) - (ω(ω•r_ba)) - (2ω*v_rel)

Plugging in the relevant values with their respective position vectors, we have;

a_rel = - (-0.008727k * -100j) - (0.01745k(0.01745k * -100j)) - (2*0.01745k * [-(2.711)i - (0.2588)j])

a_rel = 0.8727i - (0.01745² x 100)j + 0.0946j - 0.009i

Note that; k x j = - i and k x i = j

Thus,simplifying further ;

a_rel = 0.8637i + 0.0642j m/s²
