Answer: B

Explanation:

Limiting the maximum current through the bulb. This will help in preserving or improving the bulb's lifetime and also this won't have an effect on the brightness of the bulb as brightness is affected by the average value. Although brightness is a factor of current, reducing the maximum current won't have any bearing on the average current the bulb is getting.

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

r=1.14m

Explanation:

\theta is the angle between the velocity and the magnetic field. So, the magnetic force on the proton is:

F_m=qvBsen\theta\\F_m=qvBsen(90^\circ)\\F_m=qvB

A charged particle describes a semicircle in a uniform magnetic field. Therefore, applying Newton's second law to uniform circular motion:

F_m=F_c\\qvB=F_c(1)

F_c is the centripetal force and is defined as:

F_c=m\frac{v^2}{r}

Here v is the proton's speed and r is the radius of the circular motion. Replacing this in (1) and solving for r:

qvB=\frac{mv^2}{r}\\r=\frac{mv^2}{qvB}\\r=\frac{mv}{qB}

Recall that 1 J is equal to 6.242*10^{12}MeV, so:

4.9MeV*\frac{1J}{6.242*10^{12}MeV}=7.85*10^{-13}J

We can calculate v from the kinetic energy of the proton:

K=\frac{mv^2}{2}\\\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2(7.85*10^{-13}J)}{1.67*10^{-27}kg}}\\v=3.06*10^{7}\frac{m}{s}

Finally, we calculate the radius of the proton path:

r=\frac{mv}{qB}\\r=\frac{1.67*10^{-27}kg(3.06*10^{7}\frac{m}{s})}{1.6*10^{-19}C(0.28T)}\\r=1.14m

Answer:

12 units

Explanation:

Original F = C q1q2/r^2    now change the parameters

  New F = C  1/3 q1  2 q2  / (2r)^2

              =  2/12  C q1q2/r^2    <=======the new force is 1/6 of original

1/6 * 72 = 12 units

Where are streams located?
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Hello there!

Explanation:

A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river. In some cases a river flows into the ground and becomes dry at the end of its course without reaching another body of water. Small rivers can be referred to using names such as stream, creek, brook, rivulet, and rill.

hope this helps!
