Answer: ⇒ Answer is 3

<h2>Explanation: momentum = mass × velocity</h2>

"A small force may produce a large change in momentum by acting on a very massive object".

THEY HAVEN'T GIVEN US THE TIME PERIOD NOR THE DISTANCE TRAVELED. THEREFORE WE CANNOT ACTUALLY DECIDE IF THE FORCE IS KEPT FOR A LONG TIME OR SHORT TIME. ANYWAYS SINCE THE MASS IS GIVEN AS MASSIVE , THE MOMENTUM SHOULD BE DEFINITELY HIGH.

WHY I SAY OTHERS ARE WRONG:

1) For a small force to give a large change in momentum, it should act for a long time interval.

2) By applying a large force for a short time interval, the change of momentum should be large.

3) Correct answer.

4) Acting over a short distance can be the same as acting over a short period of time.Therefore the distance should be large in order for a larger momentum.

I HOPE IT HELPS!

A small object carrying a charge of -2.50 nc is acted upon by a downward force of 18.0 nn when placed at a certain point in an e

Vesna [10]

Missing question in the text:
"A.What are the magnitude and direction of the electric field at the point in question?

B.<span>What would be the magnitude and direction of the force acting on a proton placed at this same point in the electric field?"</span>

<span>Solution:

A) A charge q </span>under an electric field of intensity E will experience a force F equal to:

$F=qE$

In our problem we have $q=-2.5 nC=-2.5\cdot 10^{-9} C$ and $F=18 nN = 18 \cdot 10^{-9} N$ , so we can find the magnitude of the electric field:

$E= \frac{F}{q}= \frac{18\cdot 10^{-9}N}{2.5\cdot 10^{-9}C}=7.2 V/m$

The charge is negative, therefore it moves against the direction of the field lines. If the force is pushing down the charge, then the electric field lines go upward.

B) The proton charge is equal to

$e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C$

Therefore, the magnitude of the force acting on the proton will be

$F=eE=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C \cdot 7.2 V/m=1.15 \cdot 10^{-18} N$

And since the proton has positive charge, the verse of the force is the same as the verse of the field, so upward.

The magnetic field inside a superconducting solenoid is 4.00 T. The solenoid has an inner diameter of 6.20 cm and a length of 26

Delvig [45]

Answer:

(a) The magnetic energy density in the field is 6.366 J/m³

(b) The energy stored in the magnetic field within the solenoid is 5 kJ

Explanation:

magnitude of magnetic field inside solenoid, B = 4 T

inner diameter of solenoid, d = 6.2 cm

inner radius of the solenoid, r = 3.1 cm = 0.031 m

length of solenoid, L = 26 cm = 0.26 m

(a) The magnetic energy density in the field is given by;

$u _B = \frac{B^2}{2\mu_o} \\\\u _B = \frac{(4)^2}{2(4\pi*10^{-7})}\\\\u_B = 6.366*10^6 \ J/m^3$

(b) The energy stored in the magnetic field within the solenoid

$U_B = u_B V\\\\U_B = u_B AL$

$U_B = u_B(A)(L)\\\\U_B = 6.366*10^6(\pi * 0.031^2)(0.26) \\\\U_B = 4997.69 J\\\\U_B = 5 \ KJ\\$
