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.

A 40.0 kg wheel, essentially a thin hoop with radius 0.810 m, is rotating at 438 rev/min. It must be brought to a stop in 21.0 s
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

(a) Workdone = -27601.9J

(b) Average required power = 1314.4W

Explanation:

Mass of hoop,m =40kg

Radius of hoop, r=0.810m

Initial angular velocity Winitial=438rev/min

Wfinal=0

t= 21.0s

Rotation inertia of the hoop around its central axis I= mr²

I= 40 ×0.810²

I=26.24kg.m²

The change in kinetic energy =K. E final - K. E initail

Change in K. E =1/2I(Wfinal² -Winitial²)

Change in K. E = 1/2 ×26.24[0-(438×2π/60)²]

Change in K. E= -27601.9J

(a) Change in Kinetic energy = Workdone

W= 27601.9J( since work is done on hook)

(b) average required power = W/t

=27601.9/21 =1314.4W

A fire woman dropped a person onto the safety net. Right
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

m = 28.7[kg]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the definition of kinetic energy, which can be calculated by means of the following equation.

E_{k}=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}\\

where:

Ek = kinetic energy = 1800 [J]

m = mass [kg]

v = 11.2 [m/s]

1800=\frac{1}{2}*m*(11.2)^{2}\\m = 28.7[kg]

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

1. bending of light in gravitational fields.

2. effect of gravitational redshift.

3. perihelion precission of mecury.

Explanation:

1 bending of light in gravitational fields, we can think of it like this:

by noting the change in position s of stars as they pass near the sun on the celetial sphere, so since the sun creates a gravitational field even the star thats not in our line of side(behind the sun) can be seen because its light is bent.

2. effects of gravitational redshift:

this says that if you are in the gravitational field, your clock moves slower when it is seen by a distant observer.

3. perihelion precission of mecury:

according to Newtonian physics a two body system consisting of a lone orbiting the spherical mass would trace out an ellipse with the center of mass of the system as the focus but mercury deviates from that precission. then according to Einstein, the change in orientation of the orbital ellipsewithin its orbital plane is the effect of gravitation being mediated by the curvature of space-time.

A(n) 7.7-kg object is sliding across the ice at 2.34 m/s in the positive x direction. An internal explosion occurs, splitting th
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Average acceleration on first part of the chunk is given as

a_1 = 13.125 m/s^2

Average acceleration on second part of the chunk is given as

a_2 = -13.125 m/s^2

Explanation:

By momentum conservation along x direction we will have

mv_i = \frac{m}{2}v_1 + \frac{m}{2}v_2

so we have

v_1 + v_2 = 2v

v_1 + v_2 = 4.68

also by energy conservation

\frac{1}{2}(\frac{m}{2})v_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}(\frac{m}{2})v_2^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = 17 J

\frac{1}{4}m(v_1^2 + v_2^2) - \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = 17

(v_1^2 + v_2^2) - 2v^2 = \frac{4}{7.7}(17)

(4.68 - v_2)^2 + v_2^2 - 2v^2 = 8.83

21.9 + 2v_2^2 - 9.36 v_2 - 10.95 = 8.83

2v_2^2 - 9.36v_2 + 2.12 = 0

by solving above equation we will have

v_1 = 4.44 m/s

v_2 = 0.24 m/s

Average acceleration on first part of the chunk is given as

a_1 = \frac{4.44 - 2.34}{0.16}

a_1 = 13.125 m/s^2

Average acceleration on second part of the chunk is given as

a_2 = \frac{0.24 - 2.34}{0.16}

a_2 = -13.125 m/s^2
