A charged particle moving in a magnetic field experiences a force equal to:
Thus, the magnitude of the force that the proton experiences is given by:
The magnetic field is perpendicular to the proton's velocity, therefore, we have . Replacing the given values, we obtain:
The time after being ejected is the boulder moving at a speed 20.7 m/s upward is 2.0204 s.
<h3>What is the time after being ejected is the boulder moving at a speed 20.7 m/s upward?</h3>
The motion of the boulder is a uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration
a = g = -9.8
downward (acceleration due to gravity).
By using Suvat equation:
v = u + at
where: v is the velocity at time t
u = 40.0 m/s is the initial velocity
a = g = -9.8 is the acceleration
To find the time t at which the velocity is v = 20.7 m/s
Therefore,
The time after being ejected is the boulder moving at a speed 20.7 m/s upward is 2.0204 s.
The complete question is:
A large boulder is ejected vertically upward from a volcano with an initial speed of 40.0 m/s. Ignore air resistance. At what time after being ejected is the boulder moving at 20.7 m/s upward?
