Answer:

B = 6.18 10⁻⁶ T  

the magnetic field is in the negative direction of the y axis

Explanation:

The magnetic force is given by

         F = q v x B

as in the exercise indicate that the velocities perpendicular to the magnetic field,

         F = q v B

Newton's second law is

         F = m a

let's substitute

         q v B = m a

         B = m a / q v

let's calculate

         B = 9.1 10⁻³¹ 2.50 10¹³ / (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 2.30 10⁷)

         B = 6.18 10⁻⁶ T

The direction of the field can be obtained with the right hand rule, where the thumb points in the direction of the velocity, the fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field and the palm in the direction of the force for a positive charge.

In the exercise indicate that the velocity is the z axis

the acceleration and therefore the force in the x axis

therefore the magnetic field is in the negative direction of the y axis

A plane traveled west for 4.0 hours and covered a distance of 4,400 meters what’s the velocity
tatuchka [14]

0.31m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time of travel = 4hrs = 4 x 60 x 60 = 14400s

Displacement  = 4400m due west

Unknown:

Velocity = ?

Solution:

Velocity is defined as the displacement  per unit of time. It is expressed in m/s or km/hr:

     Velocity =  \frac{displacement}{time}

     Velocity =   \frac{4400}{14400} = 0.31m/s

The 0.5kg soccer ball moves toward the net with a force of 4N. What is its acceleration?​
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

8 m/s²

Explanation:

Given,

Force ( F ) = 4 N

Mass ( m ) = 0.5 kg

To find : -

Acceleration ( a ) = ?

Formula : -

F = ma

a = F / m

= 4 / 0.5

= 40 / 5

a = 8 m/s²

It's acceleration is 8 m/s².
