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.

Answer/Explanation:

The weight of an object is defined as the force that is exerted due to the gravitational force.

Mathematically, it can be written as :

W = m g

Where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Also,  

We know that the value of g varies with respect to the location. At the equator, the value of g is less as compared to the poles.

The feature of an object that affects its weight are :

Mass of the object

Location of the object

How much force Earth exerts on the object

Which statement best describes a device that has a high energy efficiency? Its ratio of energy absorbed to energy released is hi
Stels [109]

Answer:

It wastes little energy

Explanation:

  • The efficiency of a machine refers to the ratio of work output to the work input as a percentage.
  • The efficiency of most machines is less than 100% because some work is lost  due to friction and heat.
  • Therefore, a machine with high efficiency has less wastage of energy due to factors such as friction of the moving parts. Conversely, low efficiency means there is more wastage of energy.

A fox fleeing from a hunter encounters a 0.700 m tall fence and attempts to jump it. The fox jumps with an initial velocity of 7.
iris [78.8K]

Answer:0.61 m

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity (u)=7.40 m/s

launch angle \theta =45^{\circ}

height of fence=0.7 m

Trajectory of Projectile is given by

y=x\tan \theta -\frac{gx^2}{2u^2\cos^2\theta }

For x=2.1 m  

y=2.1\tan (45)-\frac{9.8\times 2.1^2}{2\times 7.4^2\times (\cos 45)^2}

y=2.1-0.789

y=1.31 m

At x=2.1 m Y=1.31

therefore Fox clear fence by a margin =1.31-0.7=0.61 m

A car traveling 90 km/hr is 100 m behind a truck traveling 50 km/hr. How long will it take the car to reach the truck?
Ber [7]

v = speed of car = 90 km/h

u = speed of truck = 50 km/h

d = initial separation distance = 100 m = 0.1 km

They meet at time t such that

vt = d + ut

t(v - u) = d

t = d/(v - u) = (0.1 km) / [(90 - 50) km/h] = 0.0025 hours
