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

A 100-m-long wire carrying a current of 4.0 A will be accompanied by a magnetic field of what strength at a distance of 0.050 m
solong [7]

Answer:

1.6 x 10^-5 T

Explanation:

i = 4 A

r = 0.05 m

The magnetic field due to long wire at a distance r is given by

B = \frac{\mu _{0}}{4\pi }\times \frac{2i}{r}

B = 10^-7 x 2 x 4 / 0.05

B = 1.6 x 10^-5 T

What was the major shortcoming of rutherford’s model of the atom?
lisabon 2012 [21]

The major shortcoming of Rutherford's model was that it was incomplete. It did not explain how the atom's negatively charged electrons are distrubuted in the space surronding its positively charged nucleus. A form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space

A spring has a spring constant of 20 N/m. How much potential energy is stored in the spring as it stretched 0.20 m
makkiz [27]
The elastic potential energy (Ep) is given by Ep = \frac{1}{2}*k*x^2

Data: 
Ep = ? (Joule)
k = 20 N/m
x (displacement) = 0.20 m

Solving:
Ep = \frac{1}{2}*k*x^2
Ep = \frac{1}{2}*20*0.20^2
Ep =  \frac{20*0.04}{2}
Ep =  \frac{0.8}{2}
\boxed{\boxed{Ep = 0.4\:J}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

What best describes desert pavements
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A common theory suggests that desert pavements are formed through gradual removal of sand and other fine particles by the wind and intermittent rains leaving behind the large fragments. The larger rock particles are shaken into place by actions of different agents such as rain, wind, gravity, and animals
