For this case we can write each one of the vectors in the following way:

$v1 = 10 i\\v2 = 14 i$

This means that the x-axis is defined as positive towards the west.

Then, the resulting vector is:

$v1 + v2 = 10i + 14i\\v1 + v2 = 24 i$

Answer:

Displacement vectors of 10 m west and 14 m west make a resultant vector that is 24 m west

Since they are both west, they simply add. The resultant is 24m, pointing west

An electron travels west to east with a kinetic energy of 10 keV. The Earth's magnetic field in Pittsburgh is 19,911.5 nT in the

ch4aika [34]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Kinetic energy of the electron, $E_k=10\ keV=10^4\ eV=1.6\times 10^{-15}\ J$

Let the east direction is +x direction, north direction is +y direction and vertical direction is +z direction.

The magnetic field in north direction, $B_y=19911.5\ nT$

The magnetic field in west direction, $B_x=-3257.1\ nT$

The magnetic field in vertical direction, $B_z=48381.8 \ nT$

Magnetic field, $B=(-3257.1i+19911.5j+48381.8k)\ nT$

Firstly calculating the velocity of the electron using the kinetic energy formulas as :

$E_k=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2E_k}{m}}$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-15}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}}$

$v=5.92\times 10^7 i\ m/s$ (as it is moving from west to east)

The force acting on the charged particle in the magnetic field is given by :

$F=q(v\times B)$

$F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times (5.92\times 10^7 i\times (-3257.1i+19911.5j+48381.8k)\times 10^{-9})$

Since, $i\times j=k\ \\j\times k=i\\k\times i=j$

And, $i\times i=j\times j=k\times k=0$

$F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times [1178 k-2864.20j]$

$|F|=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times \sqrt{1178^2+2864.20^2}$

$F=4.95\times 10^{-16}\ N$

(b) Let a is the acceleration of the electron. It can be calculated as :

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}$

$a=\dfrac{4.95\times 10^{-16}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}$

$a=5.43\times 10^{14}\ m/s^2$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Trava [24]

Answer:

The answer is "physics ".

Explanation:

Physics is the branch of science that addresses the properties of crystalline and its interaction with the fundamental elements of the universe. It covers subjects ranging in quantum mechanics with extremely little ones with quantum mechanics to the whole cosmos. You must be constant whether you like it or not, thus everyone must learn physics, irrespective of whether they're in Uganda, and plenty of other countries should have physics to dare study.

A 1.0-kg block of aluminum is at a temperature of 50 Celsius. How much thermal energy will it lose when it’s temperature is redu

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The lose of thermal energy is, Q = 22500 J

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of aluminium block, m = 1.0 kg

The initial temperature of block, T = 50° C

The final temperature of the block, T' = 25° C

The change in temperature, ΔT = 50° C - 25° C

= 25° C

The specific heat capacity of aluminium, c = 900 J/kg°C

The formula for thermal energy,

= 1.0 x 900 x 25

= 22500 J

Hence, the lose of thermal energy is, Q = 22500 J
