if we ignore air resistance the mass of an object does not affect the rate at which it accelerate why?

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity on an object is independent of the mass of the object. This is so because, the acceleration due to gravity depends only on the radius of the earth and the mass of the earth.

As a result of this, all objects are accelerated to the same extent and should reach the ground at the same time when released from a height as long as other forces other than gravity are not at work.

A particle of mass 10 g and charge 72 μC moves through a uniform magnetic field, in a region where the free-fall acceleration is

sineoko [7]

Answer:

$-0.07163\hat k\ T$ or 0.07163 T into the page

Explanation:

m = Mass of particle = 10 g

a = Acceleration due to gravity = -9.8j m/s²

v = Velocity of particle = 19i km/s

q = Charge of particle = 72 μC

B = Magnetic field

Here the magnetic and gravitational forces on the particle are applied in the opposite direction so,

$F_b=F_g$

$F_b=qvBsin\theta\\\Rightarrow F_b=qvBsin90\\\Rightarrow F_b=72\times 10^{-6}\times 19000B$

$F_g=ma\\\Rightarrow F_g=0.01\times -9.8$

$72\times 10^{-6}\times 19000B=0.01\times -9.8\\\Rightarrow B=\frac{0.01\times -9.8}{72\times 10^{-6}\times 19000}\\\Rightarrow B=-0.07163\hat k\ T$

The magnetic field is 0.07163 T into the page
