Answer: Use the Right -hand Rule to find the direction of the magnetic field.

Explanation: A magnetic force only occur, in a magnetic field, when a particle is moving perpendicularly relative to the magnetic field. So, all three quantities are perpendicular among themselves.

The Right-Hand Rule apply for the positive charges moving in conventional current. If the moving charge is negative, the velocity must be reversed.

Right-Hand Rule determines the direction of any or all of the three and it is as follows: With you right hand, point your index finger in the direction of the velocity, your middle finger in the direction of the magnetic field and your thumb will be pointing in the direction of the magnetic force.

Another way of using the rule is when there is a current carrying wire:

The fingers of your right hand will curl into a half circle around the wire, they will point in the direction of the field. The thumb will point in the direction of the conventional current.

Which energy resources are found above the Earth's surface​
never [62]

Answer: the sun

Explanation:

The sun's radiant energy reaches the earth's surface either directly through radiation, indirectly through convection, or it can move "across" or "through" objects or materials on the surface via conduction. Let's look more closely at each case. We've probably experienced the feeling of "warmth" of the sun on our skin on a sunny day. Light energy from the sun is reaching us across space and down through the atmosphere through radiation. A dark colored vehicle in the sun quickly becomes warm (or hot!) to the touch because of radiation. The light energy from the sun heats the air in the earth's atmosphere, and this drives convection and transfers thermal energy around. It is possible that we've felt a "hot breeze" on our skin on sunny days. The thermal energy in the air will be carried to objects in its path, and it will warm them.

Answer:

The resultant velocity is  v_t=10 knots

Explanation:

Apply the law of conservation of momentum

     M_L *v_L + M_f * V_f = (M_L + M_f) v_t

Where M_L is the mass of the Luxury Liner = 40,000 ton

            v_L is the velocity of Luxury Liner = 20 knots due west

            M_f mass of freighter = 60,000

           v_f is the velocity of freighter = 10 knots due north

Apply the law of conservation of momentum toward the the west direction

         v_f = 0 \ knots

So the equation would be

              M_L *v_L = (M_L + M_f) v_t

Substituting values

            40000*20 = (40000+ 60000)v_t_w

Where v_t_w the final velocity due west

Making v_t_w the subject

          v_t_w = \frac{40,000* 20}{(40000 + 60000)}

                = 8 \ knots

Apply the law of conservation of momentum toward the the north direction          

          v_L = 0 \ knots

So the equation would be

           M_f *v_f = (M_L + M_f) v_t_n

Where v_t_n the final velocity due north

     Making v_t_n the subject

          v_t_n = \frac{60,000* 10}{(40000 + 60000)}

                = 6 \ knots

The resultant velocity is

       v_t = \sqrt{v_t_w^2 + v_t_n^2}

            = \sqrt{8^2 +6^2}

           v_t=10 knots

Answer:

Explanation:

graph would be a straight line from (0, 0) to (400, 8)

Plot points are

PE = mgh

50(0) = 0 J

50(2) = 100 J

50(4) = 200 J

50(6) = 300 J

50(8) = 400 J
