Answer:

Instantaneous speed means speed at any instant

that means Speed is changing with time

You know speed is distance/time

So that means distance is also changing with time

So we take infinitesimal small distance per infinitesimal small time As we assume speed is constant in infinitesimal small time dt

So, we take speed = ds/dt

ds = infinitesimal small distance

dt = infinitesimal small time

As its ratio is equal to speed at any instant

Note : We are taking infinitesimal small distance

But :) we are taking infinitesimal small time also

As you know if denominator is small fraction is large So fraction always give large value

So it's not O ( this makes confuse to most of students)

So, thanks

Good question

Keep thinking like this :)

4) An electron moving along the +x-axis enters a magnetic field. If the electron experiences a magnetic deflection in the -y dir
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

B) along the -z-axis.

Explanation:

  • According to the Fleming's left hand rule we know that when a positive charge moves with velocity v perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field the it experiences a magnetic force perpendicular to the the plane in which the velocity vector and the magnetic field vector lies.
  • As a result all the three vector are mutually perpendicular in such a case.
  • Here as per given condition we have a negative charge moving along x-axis which experiences the deflection in -y direction so the magnetic field will be along the negative z axis i.e. into the screen.
