Answer:

person is accelerating downwards

Explanation:

We are told that the force of the person standing on the elevator is 800 N acting downwards.

We are also told that the upward force of the elevator on the person is 600 Newtons.

This means that Upward force is lesser than downward force and thus the person is accelerating downwards

What is the acceleration of a proton moving with a speed of 6.5 m/s at right angles to a magnetic field of 1.5 T?

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The acceleration of the proton is 9.353 x 10⁸ m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the proton, u = 6.5 m/s

magnetic field strength, B = 1.5 T

The force of the proton is given by;

F = ma = qvB(sin90°)

ma = qvB

where;

m is mass of the proton, = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

charge of the proton, q = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

The acceleration of the proton is given by;

$a = \frac{qvB}{m}\\\\a = \frac{(1.602*10^{-19})(6.5)(1.5)}{1.67*10^{-27}}\\\\a = 9.353*10^8 \ m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the proton is 9.353 x 10⁸ m/s²

For copper, ρ = 8.93 g/cm3 and M = 63.5 g/mol. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, what is the drift velocity of electro

viktelen [127]

Answer:

$V_d$ = 1.75 × 10⁻⁴ m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Density of copper, ρ = 8.93 g/cm³

mass, M = 63.5 g/mol

Radius of wire = 0.625 mm

Current, I = 3A

Area of the wire, $A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}$ = $A = \frac{\pi 0.625^2}{4}$

Now,

The current density, J is given as

$J=\frac{I}{A}=\frac{3}{ \frac{\pi 0.625^2}{4}}$ = 2444619.925 A/mm²

now, the electron density, $n = \frac{\rho}{M}N_A$

where,

$N_A$ =Avogadro's Number

$n = \frac{8.93}{63.5}(6.2\times 10^{23})=8.719\times 10^{28}\ electrons/m^3$

Now,

the drift velocity, $V_d$

$V_d=\frac{J}{ne}$

where,

e = charge on electron = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

thus,

$V_d=\frac{2444619.925}{8.719\times 10^{28}\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})e}$ = 1.75 × 10⁻⁴ m/s

Determine how many times per second it would move back and forth across a 6.0-m-long room on the average, assuming it made very

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

The right solution is "24.39 per sec".

Explanation:

According to the question,

⇒ $v=\frac{502.1}{\sqrt{3} }$

$=289.9 \ m/s$

The time will be:

⇒ $t=\frac{d}{v}$

$=\frac{2\times 6}{289.9}$

$=\frac{12}{289.9}$

$=0.041 \ sec$

hence,

⇒ $N=\frac{1}{t}$

$=\frac{1}{0.041}$

$=24.39 \ per \ sec$

David rowed a boat upstream for three miles and then returned to point he started from. The entire journey took four hours. The

frez [133]

Upstream speed = S - 1
Downstream speed = S + 1

Average speed = total distance / total time

Average speed = (S - 1) + (S + 1) / 2
= S

S = 6 miles / 4 hours
S = 1.5 miles per hour

A car starts from rest and travels for 5.8 s with a uniform acceleration of 1.6 m/s² in the negative direction. What is the fina

elena-s [515]

Answer:

Final velocity of the car will be -9.28 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given that the car starts from the rest so initial velocity of the car u = 0 m /sec

Acceleration of the car $a=1.6m/sec^2$ in negative direction so acceleration will be $a=-1.6m/sec^2$

From first equation of motion we know that

v = u+at

So $v=0+(-1.6)\times 5.8=-9.28m/sec$

So final velocity will be -9.28 m/sec
