A proton with a velocity in the positive x-direction enters a region where there is a uniform magnetic field B in the positive y

-direction. You want to balance the magnetic force with an electric force so that the proton will continue along a straight line. The electric field should be in the
neg y direction
neg x direction
postive x direction
postive z direction
negative z

Answer:

Negative z-direction

Explanation:

First of all, we need to understand the direction of the magnetic force on the proton. This can be determined by using the right hand rule. So we have:

- index finger: direction of the proton, positive x-direction

- middle finger: direction of magnetic field, positive y-direction

- thumb: direction of the force, positive z-direction

In order to balance this magnetic force, the electric force must act in the opposite direction (negative z direction). Since for a proton (positive charge) the force and the electric field have same direction, it means that the electric field must also be in the negative z direction.

A 1.15 kg book is at rest on the table. What is the magnitude of the normal force that the table is exerting on the book?
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

11.27N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the book  = 1.15kg

Unknown:

Magnitude of the normal force  = ?

Solution:

The normal force is the vertical force exerted by a body on an object.

It can be described as the weight of an object.

 Normal force  = mass x acceleration due to gravity

 Normal force  = 1.15 x 9.8  = 11.27N

You hear a sound in the distance. Suddenly the sound gets deeper, decreasing in pitch. Which can you assume about the sound wave
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

A. The wavelengths of the new sound waves are longer

Explanation:

This is the Doppler effect which can be best illustraded  for the case of a siren of an ambulance approaching us having a greater frequency and getting lower in frequency and deeper as the ambulance passes  us.

Since the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency it follows the wavelengths are longer when the frequency decreases lowering its pitch and getting deeper.

A car moving 12m east, then 20m west . What is the displacement?
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

8 m west

Explanation:

If we say east is the +x direction, and west is the -x direction, then the displacement is:

Δx = 12 m + (-20 m)

Δx = -8 m

three resistors which values of 15 ohm 40 ohm 60 ohm respectively are connected in parallel. what is their equivalent resistance
VashaNatasha [74]

1) Equivalent resistance, 1/R = 1/15 + 1/40 + 1/60 = 8+3+2 /120 = 13/120

R = 120/13 = 9.23

2) Current, I = V/R = 115/9.23 = 12.45 A
