Answer:

The amount of time for the whole journey is 8 hours.

Explanation:

A truck covered 2/7 of a journey at an average speed of 40 mph. Representing 1 the total of the trip traveled, then the rest of the distance traveled is calculated as: $1-\frac{2}{7} =\frac{5}{7}$

So if the truck covered the remaining 200 miles at $\frac{2}{7}$ , this means that $\frac{5}{7}$ of the trip represents the 200 miles. So, to calculate the total distance traveled by the truck, you apply the following rule of three: if $\frac{5}{7}$ of the route represents 200 miles, the integer 1 (which represents the total of the route), how many miles are they?

$miles=\frac{1*200miles}{\frac{5}{7} } =\frac{7}{5} *200 miles$

miles= 280

So the total distance traveled is 280 miles. Since speed is the relationship between the space traveled by an object and the time used for it ( $speed=\frac{distance}{time}$ ), then if the average of the entire trip was 35 mph and the distance traveled 280 miles, the time is calculated as:

$time=\frac{distance}{speed}=\frac{280 miles}{35 mph}$

time= 8 h

 The amount of time for the whole journey is 8 hours.

An electron experiences a magnetic force with a magnitude of 4.90×10−15 n when moving at an angle of 60.0 ∘ with respect to a ma

Leya [2.2K]

Missing questions: "find the speed of the electron".

Solution:
the magnetic force experienced by a charged particle in a magnetic field is given by
$F=qvB \sin \theta$
where
q is the particle charge
v its velocity
B the magnitude of the magnetic field
$\theta$ the angle between the directions of v and B.

Re-arranging the formula, we find:
$v= \frac{F}{qB \sin \theta}$
and by substituting the data of the problem (the charge of the electron is $q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C$ ), we find the velocity of the electron:
$v= \frac{F}{qB \sin \theta}= \frac{4.90 \cdot 10^{-15}N}{(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(3.70 \cdot 10^{-3} T)(\sin 60^{\circ})}=9.56 \cdot 10^6 m/s$

What type of energy waves are used in Solar Cells, and what is it’s position on the electromagnetic spectrum?

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: Electromagnetic waves (Ultraviolet light, between 100 nm and 380 nm)

Explanation:

Solar cells work by the photoelectric effect, which consists of the emission of electrons (electric current) when light (electromagnetic waves) falls on a metal surface under certain conditions.

In this sense, the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum this cells use is Ultraviolet light (UV) from the Sun, whose wavelength is approximately between 100 nm and 380 nm.

It is important to note, this is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is not visible to the human eye.
