An electron is travelling East through a magnetic field directed South. In which direction is the force on the electron?

Physics

shutvik [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Vertically upwards

Explanation:

Fleming's left hand rule: it states taht when we spread our fore finger, middle finger and thumb in such a way that they are mutually perpendicular to each other, theN thumb indicates the direction of force, fore finger indicates the direction of magnetic field and the middle finger indicates the direction of current.

So according to this rule the direction of force is vertically upwards.

Two particles, each with charge Q, and a third charge q, are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle as shown. The tot
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

<em>D. The total force on the particle with charge q is perpendicular to the bottom of the triangle.</em>

Explanation:

The image is shown below.

The force on the particle with charge q due to each charge Q = \frac{kQq}{r^{2} }

we designate this force as N

Since the charges form an equilateral triangle, then, the forces due to each particle with charge Q on the particle with charge q act at an angle of 60° below the horizontal x-axis.

Resolving the forces on the particle, we have

for the x-component

N_{x} = N cosine 60° + (-N cosine 60°) = 0

for the y-component

N_{y} = -f sine 60° + (-f sine 60) = -2N sine 60° = -2N(0.866) = -1.732N

The above indicates that there is no resultant force in the x-axis, since it is equal to zero (N_{x} = 0).

The total force is seen to act only in the y-axis, since it only has a y-component equivalent to 1.732 times the force due to each of the Q particles on q.

<em>The total force on the particle with charge q is therefore perpendicular to the bottom of the triangle.</em>

This graph indicates that the kinetic energy of an object is increasing. What is the most reasonable explanation for this observ
soldi70 [24.7K]

B) The object's velocity doubled.

Explanation:

The graph is missing: find it in attachment.

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion. It is calculated as

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

We notice that:

  • The  kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass
  • The kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the velocity

In the graph, one of the two quantities (either mass or speed) is represented on the x-axis, while the quantity on the y-axis is the kinetic energy.

First of all, we notice that the relationship is not linear: this means that the quantity on the x-axis cannot be the mass, so it must be the velocity.

Moreover, we notice that when the quantity on the x-axis increases from 1 to 2 (so, it doubles), the kinetic energy increases by a factor of 4. This means that the object's velocity has doubled, therefore

B) The object's velocity doubled.

2. A solution that contains a small amount of salt and a large amount of water is said to be a _______ solution.
koban [17]
2. A dilute solution means that the amount of solvent (water, for this particular case) is significantly larger than the solute (salt). Thus, the answer is D. 6. John Dalton's atomic theory states that matter is made up of tiny indestructible objects called matter. The theory also indicates that although same elements have the same atoms, each element have unique set atoms that deinfe them. From this, we can conclude that the wrong assumption is C. 9. Atoms, by default, are electrically neutral. When an atom loses or gains electron/s, then they become ionized atoms or commonly called as ions. Thus, ionized atoms imply unequal number of protons and electrons. This means the answer must be A. 11. Analgesics are commonly used to relieve pain. Thus, the answer is C. 14. Adding up the atomic mass of the individual atoms will give you the molar mass of a compound. Therefore, the answer is B.: 15. The pH scale provides us the alkalinity or acidity of a solution based on the value. A value between 0 to 6 indicates that the solution is acidic. 7 is considered neutral and a value between 7 and 14 indicates that the solution is basic. Thus, the answer is D. 19. An element has consistent properties and can no longer be further identified into having individual properties. Thus, the answer is A. 20. The valence of an element dependeds on the number of electrons on the outermost shell. Thus, it is equal to the number of charge negative or positive charges on the ion. Hence, we have A<span>. :</span>

Earth's gravitational pull just got threetimes stronger! what happens to your weight/
OLga [1]
Hold on and let's discuss this realistically.

Because of gravity, there are two forces between the Earth and me. One draws me toward the Earth. The strength of that force is what I call my "weight". The other force draws the Earth toward me, and has the same strength.

The strength of these forces depends on the masses of the Earth and me. If the strength just tripled, that means that at least one of us just picked up a lot more mass. If the Earth suddenly became three times as massive, then the weight of everything and everybody on it would suddenly triple, and I'm pretty sure it would be the end of all of us before too long.

If it was only MY mass that suddenly tripled, that would mean that I had gone tearing through my house and the neighbour's house, eating everything in sight including the 2 couches, 3 dogs, and 6 TVs. Naturally, just as you would expect, my weight changed from 207 to 621, and my skin is stretched really tight.
