The electron's path in the magnetic field is a straight line when viewed from above.

In fact, the electron initially moves upward, while the magnetic field is directed horizontally. The electron experiences a force due to the magnetic field (the Lorentz force), whose direction is given by the right-hand rule:
- index finger --> initial direction of the electron (upward)
- middle finger --> direction of the magnetic field (horizontally, away from the observer)
- opposite direction to the thumb* --> direction of the force (horizontally, but perpendicular to the magnetic field, to the right)

This means that the Lorentz force makes the electron moving perpendicular to the magnetic field in the horizontal plane, and since the direction of the field is not changing, this force does not change its direction, so the electron moves in the same direction of the force in the horizontal plane (to the right), therefore following a straight line.

* the direction should be reversed because the charge is negative.

Which equations represent the relationship between wavelength and frequency for a sound wave? Check all that apply. V = f = vf f
Vikentia [17]

It's really hard to make out the gibberish at the end, where the list of choices should be.

Here are the three equations for the relationships among the wavelength, frequency, and wave-speed, for ANY wave:

-- Speed = (wavelength) x (frequency)

-- Wavelength = (Speed) / (frequency)

-- Frequency = (Speed) / (wavelength)

Notice that you only have to remember any ONE of these.  Then you can always get the other ones by multiplying or dividing both sides by the same quantity.

If you want to remember all of them, here are the short forms:

V  =  L · f

L = V / f

f = V / L

A man pushed a cabinet with a force of 200N. What is the mass of the cabinet that accelerates 4 m/s/s?​
ELEN [110]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 50 \ kg}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find the mass of a cabinet, given the force and acceleration. According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is the product of mass and acceleration. The formula for this is:

F= m \times a

The force is 200 Newtons, but we should convert the units to make unit cancellation easier. 1 Newton is equal to 1 kilogram meter per second squared, so the force of 200 Newtons is 200 kilogram meters per second squared.

The mass is unknown and the acceleration is 4 meters per second per second or 4 meters per second squared.

  • F= 200 kg*m/s²
  • a= 4 m/s²

Substitute the values into the formula.

200 \ kg *m/s^2 = m \times 4 \ m/s^2

We are solving for the mass, m, so we must isolate the variable. It is being multiplied by 4 meters per second squared. The inverse operation of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 4 m/s²

\frac {200 \ kg *m/s^2}{4 \ m/s^2}= \frac{m \times 4\ m/s^2}{4 \ m/s^2}

\frac {200 \ kg *m/s^2}{4 \ m/s^2} =m

The units of meters per second squared cancel.

\frac {200 \ kg }{4 }=m

50 \ kg =m

The mass of the cabinet is <u>50 kilograms.</u>

Answer:

The height is : 60.025 m

Explanation:

The flowerpot falls off the balcony with zero launch angle

Given the time of fright as 3.5 s then ;

The formula to apply is ;

T=\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g} }\\\\3.5=\sqrt{\frac{2H}{9.8} }

3.5²= 2H/9.8

12.25 =2H/9.8

12.25 * 9.8 = 2H

120.05 = 2H

120.05/2 = H

60.025 =H
