A boat heads directly across a river. Its speed relative to the water is 2.6 m/s. It takes it 355 seconds to cross, but it ends

up 690 m downstream. How fast is the boat going relative to the bank of the river?

Answer:

Vr = 3.24m/s

The boat is going 3.24m/s relative to the bank of the river.

Explanation:

The relative speed of the boat to the bank Vr is the resultant of speed of boat relative to the water Vb and the speed of boat as a result of the water current or wind Vw

Vr = √(Vb^2 + Vw^2) .....1

Given;

Vb = 2.6m/s

Vw = distance downstream/time = 690m/355s

Vw = 1.94m/s

From equation 1 above; substituting the values

Vr = √(2.6^2 + 1.94^2)

Vr = 3.24m/s

The boat is going 3.24m/s relative to the bank of the river.

An electron is accelerated through 2400 V from rest and then enters a region in which there is a uniform 1.70 T magnetic field.
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let v be the velocity acquired by electron in electric field

V q = 1/2 m v²

V is potential difference applied on charge q , m is mass of charge , v is velocity acquired

2400 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ = .5 x 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ x v²

v² = 844 x 10¹²

v = 29.05 x 10⁶ m /s

Maximum force will be exerted on moving electron when it moves perpendicular to magnetic field .

Maximum force = Bqv , where B is magnetic field , q is charge on electron and v is velocity of electron

= 1.7 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 29.05 x 10⁶

= 79.02 x 10⁻¹³ N .

Minimum force will be zero when electron moves along the direction of magnetic field .
