Answer:

B: Amplitude

Explanation:

When a wave travels from one medium to the other from an angle, the things that change are amplitude, wavelength, intensity and velocity.

The frequency doesn't change because the frequency depends upon the source of the wave and not the medium by which the wave is propagated.

A pirate fires his cannon parallel to the water but 3.5 m above the water. The cannonball leaves the cannon with a velocity of 1

Bumek [7]

Answer:

202.8m

Explanation:

Given that A pirate fires his cannon parallel to the water but 3.5 m above the water. The cannonball leaves the cannon with a velocity of 120 m/s. He misses his target and the cannonball splashes into the briny deep.

First calculate the total time travelled by using the second equation of motion

h = Ut + 1/2gt^2

Let assume that u = 0

And h = 3.5

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

3.5 = 1/2 × 9.8 × t^2

3.5 = 4.9t^2

t^2 = 3.5/4.9

t^2 = 0.7

t = 0.845s

To know how far the cannonball travel, let's use the equation

S = UT + 1/2at^2

But acceleration a = 0

T = 2t

T = 1.69s

S = 120 × 1.69

S = 202.834 m

Therefore, the distance travelled by the cannon ball is approximately 202.8m.

A fire hose held near the ground shoots water at a speed of 6.5 m/s. At what angle(s) should the nozzle point in order that the

valina [46]

The speed of water can be split into vertical and horizontal speed components:
$v_x = 6.5 cos \theta \\ v_y = 6.5 sin \theta$

Due to the force of gravity, the y component will be parabolic. The x component will be linear:
$y(t) = -4.9t^2 + (6.5sin \theta) t \\ \\ x(t) = (6.5 cos \theta) t$
To find when the water hits the ground 2.5m away, set y= 0 and x = 2.5
$-4.9t^2 + (6.5sin \theta) t=0 \\ \\ t = \frac{6.5}{4.9} sin \theta \\ \\(6.5 cos \theta)(\frac{6.5}{4.9} sin \theta) = 2.5 \\ \\ sin \theta cos \theta = 0.29 \\ \\ sin 2\theta = 0.58 \\ \\ 2\theta = 35.4, 144.6 \\ \\ \theta = 17.7,72.3$

masya89 [10]

When using the right-hand rule to determine the direction of the magnetic force on a charge, which part of the hand points in the direction that the charge is moving? The answer is thumb.

One way to remember this is that there is one velocity, represented accordingly by the thumb. There are many field lines, represented accordingly by the fingers. The force is in the direction you would push with your palm. The force on a negative charge is in exactly the opposite direction to that on a positive charge. Because the force is always perpendicular to the velocity vector, a pure magnetic field will not accelerate a charged particle in a single direction, however will produce circular or helical motion (a concept explored in more detail in future sections). It is important to note that magnetic field will not exert a force on a static electric charge. These two observations are in keeping with the rule that magnetic fields do no work.

If an electronin an electron beam experiences a downward force of 2.0x10^-14N while traveling in a magnetic field of 8.3x10^-2T

Anni [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Force is downward I.e negative y-axis

F = -2 × 10^-14 •j N

Magnetic field is westward, +x direction

B = 8.3 × 10^-2 •i T

Charge of an electron

q = 1.6 × 10^-19C

Velocity and it direction?

Force in a magnetic field is given as

F = q(V×B)

Angle between V and B is 270, check attachment

The cross product of velocity and magnetic field

F =qVB•Sin270

2 × 10^-14 = 1.6 × 10^-19 × V × 8.3 × 10^-2

Then,

v = 2 × 10^-14 / (1.6 × 10^-19 × 8.3 × 10^-2)

v = 1.51 × 10^6 m/s

Direction of the force

Let x be the direction of v

-F•j = v•x × B•i

From cross product

We know that

i×j = k, j×i = -k

j×k =i, k×j = -i

k×i = j, i×k = -j OR -k×i = -j

Comparing -k×i = -j to given problem

We notice that

-F•j = q ( -V•k × B×i)

So, the direction of V is negative z- direction

V = -1.51 × 10^6 •k m/s

elena55 [62]

Answer:

a) $\vec F_{B} = 8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k$ , b) $\vec F_{B} = -8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k$

Explanation:

a) The magnetic force experimented by a particle has the following vectorial form:

$\vec F_{B} = q\cdot \vec v \times \vec B$

The charge of the electron is equal to $-1.602\times 10^{-19}\,C$ . Then, cross product can be solved by using determinants:

$\vec F_{B} = \begin{vmatrix}i&j&k\\-4.165\times 10^{-13}\, C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &-5.126\times 10^{-13}\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &0\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} \\0.041\,T&-0.16\,T&0\,T\end{vmatrix}$

The magnetic force is:

$\vec F_{B} = 8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k$

b) The charge of the proton is equal to $1.602\times 10^{-19}\,C$ . Then, cross product has the following determinant:

$\vec F_{B} = \begin{vmatrix}i&j&k\\4.165\times 10^{-13}\, C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &5.126\times 10^{-13}\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &0\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} \\0.041\,T&-0.16\,T&0\,T\end{vmatrix}$

The magnetic force is:

$\vec F_{B} = -8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k$
