Which of the following are true for an object in projectile motion?
1 answer:
The correct options are: B, C and D.
In fact:
- B is true, because the motion of the projectile can be decomposed in two independent motions on the x and y axis. On the x-axis, there is no acceleration; while on the y-axis, the projectile is accelerating towards the ground with
(acceleration of gravity)
- C is true, because the two motions on the horizontal and vertical direction are independent. In particular, the horizontal motion is a uniform motion (constant velocity), while the vertical motion is a uniformly accelerated motion (because of the gravitational acceleration g acting on the projectile)
- D is true, in fact (if we neglect air resistance) gravity is the only force acting on the projectile.

Answer:
The magnitude of the magnetic field is 1.01T and its direction is in the negative x direction
Explanation:
In order to calculate the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field, you take into account the following equation for the magnetic force on the proton:
(1)
v: speed of the proton = 9.9*10^5 m/s
q: charge of the proton = 1.6*10^-19C
B: magnetic field = ?
FB: magnetic force on the proton = 1.6*10^-13N
When the proton travels in the positive y direction (^j), you have that the proton experiences a force in the positive z direction (+^k). To obtain this direction of the magnetic force on the proton, it is necessary that the magnetic field points in the negative x direction, in fact, you have:
^j X (-^i) = -(-^k)=^k
To obtain the magnitude of the magnetic field you use:
The magnitude of the magnetic field is 1.01T and its direction is in the negative x direction
