Answer:

v = 1.3 10⁸  m / s

Explanation:

The magnetic force is given by

       F = q v x B

Where blacks indicate vectors

The magnetic field has a direction to the north, the fixed uranium atom on Earth has a direction to the east, so the field and velocity are perpendicular, the expression of the force remains

         F = q v B

If we use Newton's second law

       F = ma

The acceleration is centripetal

      F = m v² / r

The distance is the radius of the earth plus the distance from the surface

      r = Re + 50.103

      r = 6.37 10⁶ + 5 10³

      r = 6.3705 10⁶ m

      m v² / r = q v B

      v = q/m   B r

uranium mass

     m = 238 (1.66 10⁻²⁷) kg = 395 10⁻²⁷ kg

Let's calculate

      v = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 0.5 10⁻⁴ 6.3705 10⁶ /395 10⁻²⁷

      v = 1.29 10⁸  m / s

Are the two displacements equal? Explain your answer.
Sergeu [11.5K]
From the information given in the drawing, it's not possible
to tell whether the displacements are equal, because we
don't know what the vectors represent.

If the vectors are distances, then the displacements are not
equal, because the distance between the start and end points
are not equal.

If the vectors are speeds, then they don't tell us anything about
the distance between the start and end points, so we can't calculate
the displacements.

A force of 15 newtons is used to push a box along the floor a distance of 3 meters. How much work was done?
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 45 J</h3>

Explanation:

The work done by an object can be found by using the formula

<h3>workdone = force × distance</h3>

From the question

distance = 3 meters

force = 15 newtons

We have

workdone = 15 × 3

We have the final answer as

<h3>45 J</h3>

Hope this helps you
