Douglas has a segment with endpoints I(5, 2) and J(9, 10) that is divided by a point K such that IK and KJ form a 2:3 ratio. He

knows that the distance between the x-coordinates is 4 units. Which of the following fractions will let him find the x-coordinate for point K?
A. 2/3
B. 2/5
C. 3/2
D. 3/5

For the answer to the question above, 
 the distance from i to j is 5 parts 
(2 parts from i to k and 3 parts from k to j) 

The y distance from i to j is 
10 - 2 = 8 

Each part is 8/5 = 1.6 
Therefore the distance between the 2 parts from i to k is 3.2 

From the y coordinate of I which is 2 plus the 3.2 to point k 
2 + 3.2 = 5.2 

Answer y =5.2 

Now just convert that to fraction and that will be the answer

A proton moves in the negative x-direction through a uniform magnetic field in the negative y-direction what is the direction of
ANEK [815]

A proton travels through a constant magnetic field in the negative y-direction while moving in the negative x-direction. The proton will be subject to a magnetic pull that is directed into the page. Option B is correct.

<h3>What is the right-hand thumb rule?</h3>

Hold a current-carrying conductor in your right hand with your thumb pointing in the direction of the current then wrap your fingers around the conductor and orient them in the direction of the magnetic field lines.

A proton travels through a constant magnetic field in the negative y-direction while moving in the negative x-direction.

The proton will be subject to a magnetic pull that is directed into the page.

Hence, option B is correct.

Why are springs made of steel and not of copper.​
torisob [31]

Answer:

Springs are made of a variety of materials including copper and various forms of steel. The most common is high carbon steel as it is cheap, easy to work and a couple of other important properties.

Copper springs exist as well, but copper is more expensive than steel. However, in an environment where corrosion resistance is important, copper springs are a good alternative.
