Answer:

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because of its motion. If we want to accelerate an object, then we must apply a force. Applying a force requires us to do work. After work has been done, energy has been transferred to the object, and the object will be moving with a new constant speed.

Lena [83]

Answer: [tex]12.415 rad.s^{-1}[/tex]

Explanation: Angular velocity is the rate of change in angular displacement.

We know that:

Angular velocity, $\omega= \frac{\Delta \theta}{t}$ ....................(1)

where:

t= time

$\Delta \theta$ = angular displacement in radians

Given that:

t = 4.10 s

Δθ = 50.9 radian

Putting the respective values in eq. (1)

$\omega = \frac{50.9}{4.10}$

$\omega = 12.415 rad.s^{-1}$

An electron travels west to east with a kinetic energy of 10 keV. The Earth's magnetic field in Pittsburgh is 19,911.5 nT in the

ch4aika [34]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Kinetic energy of the electron, $E_k=10\ keV=10^4\ eV=1.6\times 10^{-15}\ J$

Let the east direction is +x direction, north direction is +y direction and vertical direction is +z direction.

The magnetic field in north direction, $B_y=19911.5\ nT$

The magnetic field in west direction, $B_x=-3257.1\ nT$

The magnetic field in vertical direction, $B_z=48381.8 \ nT$

Magnetic field, $B=(-3257.1i+19911.5j+48381.8k)\ nT$

Firstly calculating the velocity of the electron using the kinetic energy formulas as :

$E_k=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2E_k}{m}}$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-15}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}}$

$v=5.92\times 10^7 i\ m/s$ (as it is moving from west to east)

The force acting on the charged particle in the magnetic field is given by :

$F=q(v\times B)$

$F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times (5.92\times 10^7 i\times (-3257.1i+19911.5j+48381.8k)\times 10^{-9})$

Since, $i\times j=k\ \\j\times k=i\\k\times i=j$

And, $i\times i=j\times j=k\times k=0$

$F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times [1178 k-2864.20j]$

$|F|=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times \sqrt{1178^2+2864.20^2}$

$F=4.95\times 10^{-16}\ N$

(b) Let a is the acceleration of the electron. It can be calculated as :

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}$

$a=\dfrac{4.95\times 10^{-16}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}$

$a=5.43\times 10^{14}\ m/s^2$

Hence, this is the required solution.

How do you find the acceleration of an object?

artcher [175]

Rearrange the equation F = ma to solve for acceleration. You can change this formula around to solve for acceleration by dividing both sides by the mass, so: a = F/m. To find the acceleration, simply divide the force by the mass of the object being accelerated.

Hope i helped :)

An electric circuit can have no current when a switch is

Finger [1]

Answer:

Open

Explanation:

A switch is a part of a circuit where a connection can be made or broken. By convention, when the switch is "open", the connection is broken and current cannot pass. When the switch is "closed", the connection is complete and current can pass.
