Albert's laboratory is filled with a constant uniform magnetic field pointing straight up. Albert throws some charges into this

magnetic field. He throws the charges in different directions, and observes the resulting magnetic forces on them. Given the sign of each charge and the direction of its velocity, determine the direction of the magnetic force (if any) acting on the charge.

Answer:

\vec{F}=qB(v_y \hat{i} - v_x\hat{j})

Explanation:

The force excerted by a magnetic field on a charged particle is given by the Lorentz force:

\vec{F} = q \vec{v} \times \vec{B}

Lets consider the z-direction of our coordinate system the same direction of the magnetic field, that is:

\vec{B} = B \hat{k}

Let us consider that the velocity of a given particle is:

\vec{v} = v_x\hat{i} + v_y \hat{j} + v_z \hat{k}

Therefore, since k×k = 0

\vec{v} \times \vec{B} = (v_x\hat{i} + v_y \hat{j} + v_z \hat{k}) \times B\hat{k}\\\vec{v} \times \vec{B}  =  (Bv_x \hat{i} \times\hat{k}) + (Bv_y \hat{j}\times\hat{k})

And since  i, j , k are a rigth hand system:

i × j = k

j × k = i

k × i = j  --> i × k= -j

\vec{v} \times \vec{B}  = Bv_x (-\hat{j}) + Bv_y \hat{i} =  Bv_y \hat{i} - Bv_x\hat{j}

Threfore, if the particle has charge q and velocity v = (vx,vy,vz), the magnetic force it will feel will be

\vec{F}=qB(v_y \hat{i} - v_x\hat{j})

A pipe open only at one end has a fundamental frequency of 266 Hz. A second pipe, initially identical to the first pipe, is shor
Alika [10]

Answer:

1.16cm were cut off the end of the second pipe

Explanation:

The fundamental frequency in the first pipe is,

<em><u>Since the speed of sound is not given in the question, we would assume it to be 340m/s</u></em>

f1 = v/4L, where v is the speed of sound and L is the length of the pipe

266 = 340/4L

L = 0.31954 m = 0.32 m

It is given that the second pipe is identical to the first pipe by cutting off a portion of the open end. So, consider L’ be the length that was cut from the first pipe.

<u>So, the length of the second pipe is L – L’</u>

Then, the fundamental frequency in the second pipe is

f2 = v/4(L - L’)

<u>The beat frequency due to the fundamental frequencies of the first and second pipe is</u>

f2 – f1 = 10hz

[v/4(L - L’)] – 266 = 10

[v/4(L – L’)] = 10 + 266

[v/4(L – L’)] = 276

(L - L’) = v/(4 x 276)

(L – L’) = 340/(4 x 276)

(L – L’) = 0.30797

L’ = 0.31954 – 0.30797

L’ = 0.01157 m = 1.157 cm ≅ 1.16cm  

Hence, 1.16 cm were cut from the end of the second pipe

a student lift a 25kg mass at vertical distance of 1.6m in a time of 2.0 seconds. a. Find the force needed to lift the mass (in
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

a. F = 245 Newton.

b. Workdone = 392 Joules.

c. Power = 196 Watts

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 25kg

Distance = 1.6m

Time = 2secs

a. To find the force needed to lift the mass (in N );

Force = mass * acceleration

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8

F = 25*9.8

F = 245N

b. To find the work done by the student (in J);

Workdone = force * distance

Workdone = 245 * 1.6

Workdone = 392 Joules.

c. To find the power exerted by the student (in W);

Power = workdone/time

Power = 392/2

Power = 196 Watts.

Explain how the plants of a tropical rain forest contribute to the characteristic hot, humid weather associated with the area. U
Talja [164]

Answer: The atmosphere of trophic rainforest is hot and humid due to high rate of transpiration.

Explanation:

The tropical rainforest is a biome which exhibit rich biodiversity of plants and animals. The average temperatures in this region remain high with warm summer. It remains frost free. The soil is nutrient deficient. Due to hot temperature the rate of transpiration remains high as a result the concentration of the water vapors remain high. This is responsible for increasing the humidity in the atmosphere also this region receives appreciable amount of rainfall annually. The average rainfall range is 200-450 centimeters.
