A proton moving at 8.9 × 106 m/s through a magnetic field of 0.96 T experiences a magnetic force of magnitude 3.8 × 10−13 N. Wha
goblinko [34]

Answer: 15.66 °

Explanation: In order to solve this proble we have to consirer the Loretz force for charge partcles moving inside a magnetic field. Thsi force is given by:

F=q v×B = qvB sin α where α is teh angle between the velocity and magnetic field vectors.

From this expression and using the given values we obtain the following:

F/(q*v*B) = sin α

3.8 * 10^-13/(1.6*10^-19*8.9*10^6* 0.96)= 0.27

then  α =15.66°

A 2-kW electric heater takes 15 min to boil a quantity of water. If this is done once a day and power costs 10 cents per kWh, wh
frozen [14]

Answer:

<h2> $1.50</h2>

Explanation:

Given data

power P= 2 kW

time t= 15 min to hours = 15/60= 1/4 h

cost of power consumption per kWh= 10 cent = $0.1

We are expected to compute the cost of operating the heater for 30 days

but let us computer the energy consumption for one day

Energy of heater  for one day= 2* 1/4 = 0.5 kWh

the cost of operating the heater for 30 days= 0.5*0.1*30= $1.50

<u><em>Hence it will cost  $1.50 for 30 days operation</em></u>

If Earth were completely blanketed with clouds and we couldn’t see the sky, could we learn about the realm beyond the clouds? Wh
Fudgin [204]

The definition of waves that propagate through electric fields is called electromagnetic waves. The earth, despite being covered with clouds, can be 'affected' because waves such as sunlight or the moon have the ability to penetrate and be visible to the inhabitants of the earth. Microwaves and radio waves would be less affected by the clouds that cover the Earth.

Through these waves, you can know that there is beyond the clouds.

Ultraviolet light, microwaves and radio waves are the radiations that penetrate through the clouds and reach the Earth's surface.

Therefore, the answer is Yes, ultraviolet light, microwaves and radio waves are the forms of radiation that penetrate and reach the ground.

What distance is covered by an airplane traveling at a velocity of 660 miles per hour in 3.5 hours?
N76 [4]

As per the question, the velocity of the airplane [v] = 660 miles per hour.

The total time taken by airplane [t] = 3.5 hours.

We are asked to determine the total distance travelled by the airplane during that period.

The distance covered [ S] by a body is the product of velocity with the time.

Mathematically distance covered = velocity × total time

                                                      S = v × t

                                                        = 660 miles/hour ×3.5 hours

                                                        = 2310 miles.

Hence, the total distance travelled by the airplane in 3.5 hour is 2310 miles.
