An electron moving in a direction perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field at a speed of 1.6 107 m/s undergoes an acceleration
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

B = 0.024T positive z-direction

Explanation:

In this case you consider that the direction of the motion of the electron, and the direction of the magnetic field are perpendicular.

The magnitude of the magnetic force exerted on the electron is given by the following formula:

F=qvB     (1)

q: charge of the electron = 1.6*10^-19 C

v: speed of the electron = 1.6*10^7 m/s

B: magnitude of the magnetic field = ?

By the Newton second law you also have that the magnetic force is equal to:

F=qvB=ma       (2)

m: mass of the electron = 9.1*10^-31 kg

a: acceleration of the electron = 7.0*10^16 m/s^2

You solve for B from the equation (2):

B=\frac{ma}{qv}\\\\B=\frac{(9.1*10^{-31}kg)(7.0*10^{16}m/s^2)}{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(1.6*10^7m/s)}\\\\B=0.024T

The direction of the magnetic field is found by using the right hand rule.

The electron moves upward (+^j). To obtain a magnetic forces points to the positive x-direction (+^i), the direction of the magnetic field has to be to the positive z-direction (^k). In fact, you have:

-^j X ^i = ^k

Where the minus sign of the ^j is because of the negative charge of the electron.

Then, the magnitude of the magnetic field is 0.024T and its direction is in the positive z-direction

Which option lists a form of potential energy followed by a form of kinetic energy?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Magnetic energy and electromagnetic energy form of potential energy followed by a form of kinetic energy.

(B) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Lists a form of potential energy followed by a form of kinetic energy

We know that,

Sound energy :

The movement of energy through object it is called sound energy. When a object produced vibration by force then it moves in wave.

Sound wave is example of kinetic energy.

Nuclear energy :

The store energy in the nucleus of the atom it is called nuclear energy. This energy released when occurs fusion and fission.

Nuclear energy is the example of potential energy

Magnetic energy :

Magnetic energy is a type of potential energy which is depend on distance and position in the magnetic field.

Electromagnetic energy :

Electromagnetic energy is light energy. it is type of kinetic energy.

Gravitational energy :

Gravitational energy is a type of potential energy. It is an energy related with gravity or gravitational force.

Elastic energy :

The store energy in elastic object it is called elastic energy. This energy is a type of potential energy.

Electrical energy :

The movement of electrons is called electrical energy. When electrons move through a wire then it is are called electricity. Electrical energy is type of kinetic energy.

Hence, Magnetic energy and electromagnetic energy form of potential energy followed by a form of kinetic energy.

(B) is correct option.

The velocity of a 150 kg cart changes from 6.0 m/s to 14.0 m/s. What is the magnitude of the impulse that acted on it?
aleksandrvk [35]
M = 150 kg.

Final velocity, v = 14 m/s

Initial Velocity, u = 6 m/s

Impulse =  m(v - u)
 
             = 150*(14 - 6)
           
             =  150*8 = 1200 kgm/s  or 1200 Ns

The current in the wires of a circuit is 120.0 milliamps.If the voltage impressed across the ends of the circuit where tripled(w
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Current in a wire is 120mA

I = 120mA = 120 × 10^-3 A

I = 0.12 A

If the voltage applied at across the wire is tripled

From ohms law

V=IR

R = V / I

Since R is constant

Then,

V / I = K

Then, we can say

V / I = V' / I'

Given that,

Initially

V = V and I = 120mA

Then, V' = 3V and I' =?

So,

V / I = V' / I'

V / 120 = 3V / I'

Cross multiply

V × I' = 120 × 3V

Divide both sides by V

I' = 120 × 3V / V

I' = 360mA

So, the current in the wire when the voltage was tripled is 360mA, the current was also tripled
