Assume the motions and currents mentioned are along the x axis and fields are in the y direction. (a) does an electric field exe
matrenka [14]
<span> (a) does an electric field exert a force on a stationary charged object? 
Yes. The force exerted by an electric field of intensity E on an object with charge q is
</span>F=qE
<span>As we can see, it doesn't depend on the speed of the object, so this force acts also when the object is stationary.

</span><span>(b) does a magnetic field do so?
No. In fact, the magnetic force exerted by a magnetic field of intensity B on an object with  charge q and speed v is
</span>F=qvB \sin \theta
where \theta is the angle between the direction of v and B.
As we can see, the value of the force F depends on the value of the speed v: if the object is stationary, then v=0, and so the force is zero as well.

<span>(c) does an electric field exert a force on a moving charged object? 
Yes, The intensity of the electric force is still
</span>F=qE
<span>as stated in point (a), and since it does not depend on the speed of the charge, the electric force is still present.

</span><span>(d) does a magnetic field do so?
</span>Yes. As we said in point b, the magnetic force is
F=qvB \sin \theta
And now the object is moving with a certain speed v, so the magnetic force F this time is different from zero.

<span>(e) does an electric field exert a force on a straight current-carrying wire?
Yes. A current in a wire consists of many charges traveling through the wire, and since the electric field always exerts a force on a charge, then the electric field exerts a force on the charges traveling through the wire.

</span><span>(f) does a magnetic field do so? 
Yes. The current in the wire consists of charges that are moving with a certain speed v, and we said that a magnetic field always exerts a force on a moving charge, so the magnetic field is exerting a magnetic force on the charges that are traveling through the wire.

</span><span>(g) does an electric field exert a force on a beam of moving electrons?
Yes. Electrons have an electric charge, and we said that the force exerted by an electric field is
</span>F=qE
<span>So, an electric field always exerts a force on an electric charge, therefore on an electron beam as well.

</span><span>(h) does a magnetic field do so?
Yes, because the electrons in the beam are moving with a certain speed v, so the magnetic force
</span>F=qvB \sin \theta
<span>is different from zero because v is different from zero.</span>

1.) What causes ocean tides
BigorU [14]

Answer: Tides are periodic rises and falls of large bodies of water. Tides are caused by gravitational interaction between the earth and the moon. The gravitational attraction of the moon causes the oceans to bulge out in the direction of the moon.

After flying for 15 min in a wind blowing 42 km/h at an angle of 19° south of east, an airplane pilot is over a town that is 48
masha68 [24]

Answer:

The speed of the airplane relative to the air is 209.47km/hr

Explanation:

Whenever we are solving a physics problem, it's really useful to start by drawing a diagram of the problem (See picture attached). It will help us visualize the problem better.

Now, we know that the plane flew for an amount of time of 15 minutes. For our dimensions to be the same, we need to turn those 15min to hours, like this:

15min*\frac{1hr}{60min}=0.25hr

Once our time is rewritten as hours, we can now calculate the velocity towards north of the plane.

V=\frac{distance}{time}

the plane traveled a distance to the north of 48km so the velocity is:

V=\frac{48km}{0.25hr}

so

V=192km/hr j

Now, we can calculate the x and y-components of the velocity of the wind. The problem states that the wind is blowing at 42km/hr at an angle of 19° south of east, so the x and y-components of the velocity of the wind are:

V_{x}=42km/hr*cos(-19^{o} )=39.71 i

and

V_{y}=42km/hr*sin(-19^{o} )=-13.67 j

So the velocity of the wind can be expressed as a vector as:

V_{wind}=(39.71i - 13.67j)km/hr

Once we know this, we can find the velocity of the plane with respect of the wind on x and on y:

V_{plane x}=V_{plane/wind x}+V_{wind x}

V_{plane/wind x}=V_{plane x}-V_{wind x}

V_{plane/wind x}=(0-39.71 i)km/hr

V_{plane/wind x}= -39.71 i km/hr

and

V_{plane y}=V_{plane/wind y}+V_{wind y}

V_{plane/wind y}=V_{plane y}-V_{wind y}

V_{plane/wind y}=192km/hr j - (- 13.67j)km/hr

V_{plane/wind x}= 205.67 j km/hr

So the velocity of the plane with respect to the wind can be rewritten as:

V_{plane/wind x}= (-39.71i + 205.67 j) km/hr

Since the problem asks us to find the speed of the plane with respect to the wind, this means that we need to find the magnitude of the velocity, since the speed is a scalar defined to be the magnitude of the velocity.

so:

speed=\sqrt{(-39.71)^{2}+(205.67)^{2}  }

speed= 209.47 km/hr

Therefore, the speed of the airplane relative to the air is 209.47km/hr
