Answer:

the case is the one  with the greatest current, L=15 cm ,   i = 2.19 10⁸  A

Explanation:

Ohm's law is

          V = i R

Resistance is

         R = ρ L / A

Where L is the length of the electrons pass and A the area perpendicular to the current

      i = V / R

      i = V (A / ρ L)

      i = V / ρ  (A / L)

We can calculate the relationship between the area and the length to know in which direction the maximum currents

Case 1

      L = 0.15 m

      A = 0.26 0.43 = 0.1118 m2

      A / L = 0.1118 / 0.15

      A / L = 0.7453 m

Case 2

        L = 0.26 m

        A = 0.15 0.43 = 0.0645 m2

        A / L = 0.248 m

Case 3

       L = 0.43 m

       A = 0.15 0.26 = 0.039 m2

        A / L = 0.0907 m

We can see that the case is the one  with the greatest current, L=15 cm

Let's calculate the current

     i = 5 / 1.7 10⁻⁸ (0.7453)

      i = 2.19 10⁸  A

A singly charged ion of 7Li (an isotope of lithium which lost only one electron) has a mass of 1.16 ×10^-26 kg. It is accelerate
MaRussiya [10]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of lithium, m=1.16\times 10^{-26}\ kg

It is accelerated through a potential difference, V = 224 V

Uniform magnetic field, B = 0.724 T

Applying the conservation of energy as :

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=qV

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2qV}{m}}

q is the charge on an electron

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 224\ V}{1.16\times 10^{-26}\ kg}}

v = 78608.58 m/s

v=7.86\times 10^4\ m/s

To find the radius of the ion's path in the magnetic field. The centripetal force is balanced by the magnetic force as :

qvB=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

r=\dfrac{mv}{qB}

r=\dfrac{1.16\times 10^{-26}\ kg\times 7.86\times 10^4\ m/s}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 0.724\ T}

r = 0.0078 meters

So, the radius of the path of the ion is 0.0078 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

A particle has a charge of -4.25 nC.
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

-611.32 N/C

0.43723 m

Explanation:

k = Coulomb constant = 8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

q = Charge = -4.25 nC

r = Distance from particle = 0.25 m

Electric field is given by

E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times -4.25\times 10^{-9}}{0.25^2}\\\Rightarrow E=-611.32\ N/C

The magnitude is 611.32 N/C

The electric field will point straight down as the sign is negative towards the particle.

E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\sqrt{\dfrac{kq}{E}}\\\Rightarrow r=\sqrt{\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times 4.25\times 10^{-9}}{13}}\\\Rightarrow r=1.71436\ m

The distance from the electric field is 1.71436 m

During a baseball game, a batter hits a high .
Harman [31]

Answer: Due that we don't know the initial speed after hitting the ball, we are going to accept that the ball goes up for half of the time and then falls during other half part, that is 3.0 seconds each. Then we know that ball's movement is ruled by the acceleration of gravity formula, as follows: H = Vi * T + 1/2 * g * T^2 V = Vi + g * T where: H is height, Vi initial speed, g gravity acceleration and T time When we only consider the second half of the trajectory, we have that initial speed at the top of that movement is zero, because ball goes up till top, where stops and starts to go down, so : H = 0 * 3 + 1/2 * 32 * 3^2 = 144 ft. So the height of the pop-up is 144 feet.
