Two charged particles are projected into a magnetic field that is perpendicular to their initial velocities. If the charges are

deflected in opposite directions, what does this tell you about them? (Ignore the interaction between these two particles.)

Answer:

The two charged particles are opposite charge (one positive, the other negative)

Explanation:

This can be explained through Fleming's left hand rule. As we know in Fleming's LH rule

Thumb: represent motion of the charge

Fore finger: direction of magnetic field

Centre finger: direction of current

In this case, the direction of magnetic field is in one way (perpendicular to direction of the particles motion)

If the charge is positive, equivalently it's direction is the same as the direction of current. If the charge is negative, it's direction is opposite the direction of current.

Using the fleming left hand rule, we'll see that as we change the direction of current without changing the direction of field, the direction of motion will change towards the opposite way.

For example, let's say the particles is moving away from you and the magnetic field is from left to right:

If the charge is positive (hence direction of current is away from you), the particles will move downward.

If the charge is negative (hence direction of current is toward you), the particles will move upward.

With these evidence, no doubt that the two particles have different charges.

An astronaut with a mass of 91 kg is 0.30 m above the moons surface. The astronauts potential energy is 46 J. Calculate the free
Blababa [14]

Answer:

the free-fall acceleration on the moon is 1.68 m/s^2

Explanation:

recall the formula for the gravitational potential energy (under acceleration of gravity "g"):

PE = m * g * h

replacing with our values for the problem:

46 J = 91 * g * 0.3

solve for the "g" on the Moon:

g = 46 / (91 * 0.3)

g = 1.68  m/s^2

Se aplican dos fuerzas concurrentes a un objeto de 4N a la derecha y 5N a la izquierda. ¿Hacia donde se movió y con cuanta fuerz
Maksim231197 [3]

The forces move strongly towards the left by 1N

Given the following

Force towards the right = 4N

Force towards the left = 5N

Note that the force acting towards the left is negative, hence the force acting towards the left is -5N

Take the sum of force

Resultant force = -5N + 4N

Resultant force = -1N

This shows that the forces move strongly towards the left by 1N

How are some types of collisions different from others?
lyudmila [28]
There are two general types of collisions, inelastic and elastic. 
Inelastic collisions occur when two objects collide but neither of them bounce away from each other.
Collisions in which the objects do not touch each other are elastic. (Ex: Rutherford Scattering)
