Answer:

The mouse runs faster to have the same kinetic energy as the elephant.

Explanation:

Note from the equation given, mass (m) is directly proportional to KE. This means an elephant with more mass will have more KE, therefore, for the mouse to compensate, it has to run faster because its KE is smaller because of its small mass. If both run at the same speed, the elephant would have thousands of times more kinetic energy than the mouse. So the mouse has to run faster so that its speed compansates for its smaller weight.

A wooden plaque is in the shape of an ellipse with height 30 centimeters and width 22 centimeters. Find an equation for the elli
Volgvan

Answer:

Explanation:

height of Ellipse =30 cm  

i.e. 2 a=30

Width of Ellipse =22 cm

i.e. 2 b=22

Equation of a vertical Ellipse is

\frac{x^2}{b^2}+\frac{y^2}{a^2}=1

a=15 ,b =11

\frac{x^2}{11^2}+\frac{y^2}{15^2}=1

at y=4 cm

\frac{x^2}{11^2}+\frac{4^2}{15^2}=1  

x=\frac{11}{15}\times \sqrt{15^2-4^2}

x=10.6 cm

When using the right-hand rule to determine the direction of the magnetic force on a charge, which part of the hand points in the direction that the charge is moving? The answer is <span>thumb.

</span>One way to remember this is that there is one velocity, represented accordingly by the thumb. There are many field lines, represented accordingly by the fingers. The force is in the direction you would push with your palm. The force on a negative charge is in exactly the opposite direction to that on a positive charge. Because the force is always perpendicular to the velocity vector, a pure magnetic field will not accelerate a charged particle in a single direction, however will produce circular or helical motion (a concept explored in more detail in future sections). It is important to note that magnetic field will not exert a force on a static electric charge. These two observations are in keeping with the rule that <span>magnetic fields do no </span>work<span>.</span>
