What is the largest possible magnitude of the acceleration of the electron due to the magnetic field?
Alina [70]
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. But your question seems incomplete. I will assume you based the situation below:

<span>An electrons moves at 2.0x10^6 m/s through a region in which there is a magnetic field of unspecified direction and magnitude 7.4x10^-2 T. 

The </span> largest possible magnitude of the acceleration of the electron due to the magnetic field is <span>= 2.6 × 10 ¹⁶ m / s ²</span>

A particle is moving along a projectile path where the initial height is 160 feet with an initial speed of 144 feet per second.
Leviafan [203]
Assuming Earth's gravity, the formula for the flight of the particle is: 

<span>s(t) = -16t^2 + vt + s = -16t^2 + 144t + 160. </span>

<span>This has a maximum when t = -b/(2a) = -144/[2(-16)] = -144/(-32) = 9/2. </span>

<span>Therefore, the maximum height is s(9/2) = -16(9/2)^2 + 144(9/2) + 160 = 484 feet. </span>

The half-life of Co-55 is 175 hours. How much of a 4000 g of Cobalt-55 sample would be left after 525 hours?
Harrizon [31]

We know that whatever amount we start with, half of it decays and forms atoms of other elements in 175 hours.  So in order to figure out how much is left after 525 hours, we'll need to know how many half-lifes pass in that amount of time.

Well, (525 divided by 175) is exactly 3 half-lifes.  So this will be easy.

-- After 1 half-life . . .

. . . . . 50% decays, 50% is still there.

-- After the 2nd half-life . . .

. . . . . (half of the leftover 50%) = another 25% decays, 25% is left.

-- After the 3rd half-life . . .

. . . . . (half of the leftover 25%) = another 12.5% decays, 12.5% is left.

12.5% of 4,000g = (0.125 x 4,000g) = <em>500 g</em> .

============================================

<u>Another way</u>:

After 1 half-life, 1/2 is left.

After 2 half-lifes, 1/4 is left.

After 3 half-lifes, 1/8 is left.

1/8 of 4,000g = (4,000g/8) = <em>500 g </em>.
