Answer:

The answer is the option a.

Explanation:

We know that magnetic force (Fm) is defined as

Fm = q (v x B)

Where q is a the value of the charge, v is the velocity of the charge and B is the value of the magnetic field.

"v x B" is defined as the cross product between the vectors velocity and magnetic field, and if the angle between them is thetha < 180°, then, the cross product is

v x B = vBsin (thetha)

So,

Fm = qvBsin (thetha)

And, in case in which v and B are parallel vectors, thetha is zero, and,

sin (thetha)=sin (0) = 0

So, Fm=0

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The strength of the electric field is $1.35\times10^{4}\ N/C$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed $v= 5.05\times10^{5}\ m/s$

Time $t= 3.90\times10^{-7}\ s$

Angle = 45°

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using equation of motion

$v = u+at$

$5.05\times10^{5}=0+a\times3.90\times10^{-7}$

$a =\dfrac{5.05\times10^{5}}{3.90\times10^{-7}}$

$a=1.29\times10^{12}\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the strength of the electric field

Using relation of newton's second law and electric force

$F= ma=qE$

$ma = qE$

$E=\dfrac{ma}{q}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{1.67\times10^{-27}\times1.29\times10^{12}}{1.6\times10^{-19}}$

$E=1.35\times10^{4}\ N/C$

Hence, The strength of the electric field is $1.35\times10^{4}\ N/C$ .

Answer:

Your answer is D It does not need to be repeatable.

the reason for this is because C is correct.

You need to be able to experiment on something multiple times so that you can gather further data to imbedded your evidence in facts.

Why do we need gametes?

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Gametes are the cells used during sexual reproduction to produce a new individual organism.

Explanation:

The male gamete or sperm, is a smaller, mobile cell that meets up with the much larger and less mobile female gamete, egg or ova.
