A proton traveling due west in a region that contains only a magnetic field experiences a vertically upward force (away from the

surface of the earth). What is the direction of the magnetic field?
Physics

South

Explanation:

The magnetic force F on a point charge moving with a velocity v in the presence of a magnetic field B is given by

\vec{\textbf{F}} = q\vec{\textbf{v}}\textbf{×}\vec{\textbf{B}}

and according to the right-hand rule, an upward magnetic force on a proton moving westward is only possible if the magnetic field is directed southward.

Which has the highest heat capacity? (values of heat capacities and calculations are unnecessary).
KATRIN_1 [288]

Water has the maximum specific heat capacity of any fluid.

The amount of heat that one gram of a material needs either absorb or lose in order to alter its temperature by a degree Celsius is known as specific heat. This equates to one caloric, or 4.184 Joules, for water.

<h3>High heat capacity: what is it?</h3>
  • Consider the amount of time it takes for a pot to get warm to the touch on the stove as opposed to how long it takes for the water within to warm up.
  • A substance with a high heat capacity may absorb a lot of heat before registering a change in temperature.
<h3>Why does water have the greatest ability to retain heat?</h3>

Although the hydrogen bonds in water are much too weak to be compared to intra - molecular bonds like covalently or ionic bonds, they are nevertheless strong enough to require a lot of energy to break. Water boils at 100°C for this reason.

Many people believe hydrogen bonding is the cause of water's high specific heat.

A CD-ROM drive in a computer spins the 12-cm-diameter disks at 9500 rpm. Find acceleration in units of g that a speck of dust on
NeTakaya
The net force on an object is:
F = ma
The only force acting on the speck of dust as it is lays on the CD is centripetal force given by:
F = (mv²)/r
Equating the two
ma = (mv²)/r
We get:
a = v²/r
v is the linear velocity in this case; however, we can calculate only the angular velocity with the given data. Therefore, we must use:
v = ωr; where
ω = 2πf; f is the rotations per second
f = 9500 / 60
f = 950/6
ω = 2π(950/6)
ω = (950π)/3
v = (950π)/3 × 0.12
v = 38π
a = (38π)²/0.12
a = 1.2 × 10⁵ m/s²
To express this in terms of gravitational acceleration, we divide by the value of gravitational acceleration, 9.81
a = 1.2 × 10⁴ g

A bowling ball weighing 71.7 N is attached to the ceiling by a rope of length 3.73 m . The ball is pulled to one side and releas
vekshin1

Answer:

A) a = 5.673 m/s²

The direction will be upwards vertically towards the point where it is suspended.

B) T = 113.2 N

Explanation:

A) We are given;

Weight of bowling ball; W = 71.7 N

Speed; v = 4.6 m/s

Rope length; r = 3.73 m

Now, formula for the centripetal acceleration is;

a = v²/r

Thus; a = 4.6²/3.73

a = 5.673 m/s²

The direction will be upwards vertically towards the point where it is suspended.

B) since weight is 71.7 N, it means that;

Mass = weight/acceleration = 71.7/9.8

Mass(m) = 7.316 kg

Thus,

Centripetal force is;

F_cent = 7.316 × 5.673

F_cent = 41.5 N

Thus, Tension in the rope is;

T = W + F_cent

T = 71.7 + 41.5

T = 113.2 N
