Answer:
the strength of the magnetic field is 3 x 10⁻⁵ T
Explanation:
Given;
velocity of the cosmic ray, v = 5 x 10⁷ m/s
force experienced by the ray, f = 1.7 x 10⁻¹⁶ N
angle between the ray's velocity and the magnetic field, θ = 45⁰
The strength of the magnetic field is calculated as;
Therefore, the strength of the magnetic field is 3 x 10⁻⁵ T
The equation for potential energy is denoted as;
Pe = mgh,
where m = the mass, g = acceleration due to gravity, and h = vertical height of the apple. We are given the units for everything but height, which is also what we are solving for. We can then algebraically rearrange our initial equation to solve for h;
h = (Pe)/(mg)
Plug in your given units, and solve!
Post-check:
h = Pe/mg
h = 175J/(0.36g)(-9.81m/s^2)
h = appr. 49.5 meters
Note: Potential energy is a vector quantity; the displacement of the apple will be a negative number, but the distance itself, a scalar quantity, will be the absolute value of that.
Yes. a physical change is only modifying the structure of it.
a chemical change is permanently changing something.
cutting cheese into slices is a physical change
cooking an egg is a chemical change
