After landing on an unexplored Klingon planet, Spock tests for the direction of the magnetic field by firing a beam of electrons

in various directions and by observing the following: Electrons moving upward feel a magnetic force in the NW direction; Electrons moving horizontally North are pushed down; Electrons moving horizontally South-East are pushed upward. He naturally concludes that the magnetic field at this landing site is in which direction?

Answer:

Magnetic field is in south west direction .

Explanation:

Let us represent various direction by  i , j, k . i representing east , j representing north and k representing vertically upward direction .

magnetic field is represented vectorially as follows

B = B₀ ( - i - j )

In the first case velocity of electron

v = v k

Force = q ( v x B )

= -e [ vk x B₀ ( - i - j ) ]

= evB₀ ( j -i )

Direction of force is north -west .

In the second case velocity of electron

v = vj

Force = -e [ vj x B₀ ( - i - j ) ]

= - evB₀ k

force is downward

In the third case, velocity of electron

v = v( -j +i )

Force = -e [ v( -j +i ) x B₀ ( - i - j ) ]

= 2 evB₀ k

Force is upward.

To cook food, a microwave oven converts electrical energy intoenergy A) electromagnetic B) heat C) mechanical D) nuclear
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

To cook food, a microwave oven converts electrical energy into electromagnetic energy. (A)  Specifically, it pours high-power RADIO waves into the box.

Water molecules and fat molecules resonate (jiggle) with the radio waves, and the heat is generated IN THE FOOD.

I work with microwave radios.  

-- To communicate high-speed data over a distance of 5 to 10 miles, we use a radio transmitter with a power output of 0.07 watt .

-- To communicate high-speed data over distances up to 80 miles, we use a radio transmitter with a power output of 1 to 2 watts.

-- To heat up a chunk of leftover meatloaf, a microwave oven pumps radio waves into the box with a power output of 1200 to 1500 watts ! !

The outer surface of a spacecraft in space has an emissivity of 0.44 and a solar absorptivity of 0.3. If solar radiation is inci
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

T=326.928K

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Emissivity e=0.44

Absorptivity \alpha =0.3

Rate of solar Radiation R=0.3

Generally the equation for Surface absorbed energy is mathematically given by

 E=\alpha R

 E=0.3*950

 E=285W/m^2

Generally the equation for Emitted Radiation is mathematically given by

 \mu=e(\sigmaT^4)

Where

T=Temperature

 \sigma=5.67*10^8Wm^{-2}K_{-4}

Therefore

 \alpha*E=e \sigma T^4

 0.3*(950)=0.44(5.67*10^-8)T^4

 T=326.928K

Based on the definition of specific heat and the information provide below, if the same amount of heat is added to 1 kg of all t
MArishka [77]
Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1kg of a substance by 1 degree. Therefore, the higher the number, the more energy is required.

Hence, Steel will raise the most, since less energy is required to raise its temperature.
