Answer: This is called backscatter which refers to the ability of big waves to reflect the energy in order to give back the signal .

Explanation:

What is meant by backscatter?

Backscatter is the process where by the waves or signal is reflected back to the original direction and get scattered in all directions.

Backscatter allows us to receive signal and be able to view all the channels that are connected through the satellite.

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Acceleration, a=9.36\times 10^{18}\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of electron, v=8\times 10^6\ m/s

Charge on an electron, q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

Mass of electron, m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg

Magnetic field, B=5.5i-3.7j

Magnitude, |B|=\sqrt{5.5^2+(-3.77)^2}=6.66\ T

Magnetic force is given by :

F=qvB

Also, F = ma

a=\dfrac{qvB}{m}

a=\dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 8\times 10^6\times 6.66}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}

a=9.36\times 10^{18}\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the electron is 9.36\times 10^{18}\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.
