Why is it important that your finger be wet if you intend to touch it briefly to a hot clothes iron to test its temperature. If your finger is wet, some of the heat transmitted to your finger will be given to the water which has a high specific heat capacity and also a larger latent heat of vaporization.

A proton moves with a velocity of v with arrow = (4î − 6ĵ + k) m/s in a region in which the magnetic field is B with arrow = (î

nalin [4]

Answer:

F = [(6.4 × 10⁻¹⁹)î + (8.0 × 10⁻¹⁹)ĵ + (22.4 × 10⁻¹⁹)k] N

Magnitude of F = (2.466 × 10⁻¹⁸) N

Explanation:

The magnetic force, F, on a given charge, q, moving with velocity, v, in a magnetic field, B, is given as the vector product

F = qv × B

where v = (4î − 6ĵ + k) m/s

B = (î + 2ĵ − k) T

The particle is a proton, hence,

q = (1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹) C

F = qv × B = q (v × B)

(v × B) is given as (4î − 6ĵ + k) × (î + 2ĵ − k)

The cross product is evaluated as a determinant of

| î ĵ k |

|4 -6 1 |

|1 2 -1 |

î [(-6)(-1) - (2)(1)] - ĵ [(4)(-1) - (1)(1)] + k [(4)(2) - (-6)(1)]

î (6 - 2) - ĵ (-4 - 1) + k (8 + 6) = (4î + 5ĵ + 14k)

(v × B) = (4î + 5ĵ + 14k)

F = q (v × B) = (1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹) (4î + 5ĵ + 14k)

F = [(6.408 × 10⁻¹⁹)î + (8.01 × 10⁻¹⁹)ĵ + (22.428 × 10⁻¹⁹)k] N

Magnitude of F =

√[(6.408 × 10⁻¹⁹)² + (8.01 × 10⁻¹⁹)² + (22.428 × 10⁻¹⁹)²]

Magnitude of F = (2.466 × 10⁻¹⁸) N

A baseball has a momentum of 6.0 kg.m/s south and mass of 0.15kg. What’s the baseballs velocity?

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

<em>v=40 m/s south</em>

Explanation:

<u>Momentum </u>

It's a physical magnitude that measures the product of the mass by the velocity of a particle. Its units in the International System is kg.m/s and the formula is

$p=m.v$
