You stand new the earth's equator. A positively charged particle that starts moving parallel to the surface of the earth in a st

raight line directed cast is initially deflected upwards. If you know there are no electric fields in the vicinity, a possible reason why the particle does not initially acquire a downward component of velocity is because near the equator the magnetic field lines of the earth are directed
a. upward.
b. downward.
c. from south to north.
d. from north to south.
e. from east to west.

Answer:

c. from south to north

Explanation:

since we know that:

F = qv×B

where F is the force and in this case is pointed upward

where v is the velocity due east

the field must be due north by the right hand rule

Therefore,  near the equator the magnetic field lines of the earth are directed north from south

You travel in a circle, whose circumference is 8kilometers, at an average speed of kilometer/hour. If you stop at the same point
dimaraw [331]

You skipped over a number in the question, and you didn't tell me what my average speed is. Lucky for you, my average speed has NO EFFECT on the answer to the question.

When you calculate velocity, you only use the straight-line distance between the start-point and the end-point. It doesn't matter what route the thing took to get there, or how much ground it actually covered.

If I travel in a circle and stop at the same point I started from, then the size of the circle doesn't matter, and neither does my speed. The distance between my start-point and my end-point is zero, and my average velocity is zero.

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Since there is no external force, there is no change (movement) in the center of mass. Internally, the center of mass might change position, but the external result is still zero net velocity.

The net recoil velocity must be zero.

Why does a lone pair of electrons occupy more space around a central atom than a bonding pair of electrons?
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The lone pair of electrons occupy more space because the electrostatic force becomes weaker.

Explanation:

When there is a bond pair of electrons in the 2 positively charged the atomic nuclei draw the electron density towards them, thereby reducing the bond diameter.

In the case of the lone pair, only 1 nucleus is present, and the enticing electrostatic force becomes weaker and the intensity of the electrons will be increases. Therefore, the lone pair occupies more space than the pair of bonds.
