An electron is traveling in the positive x direction. A uniform electric field is present and oriented in the negative z directi

on. If a uniform magnetic field with the appropriate magnitude and direction is simultaneously generated in the region of interest, the net force on the electron can be made to have a magnitude of zero. What must the direction of the magnetic field be?

Answer:

the fingers extended points in the negative direction of the y-axis

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the relationship of the force with the electric field

          F = q E

electron charge is q = -e

          F = - eE

therefore the forces are in the opposite direction to the electric field direction, which indicates that it goes towards the negative side of the Z axis.

Consequently the electric force is in the positive direction of the z axis

us the direction of the magnetic field so that it cancels out the electric forces.

For the direction of the magnetic force we use the right hand rule. The thumb points in the direction of the speed, the fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field and the palm in the direction of the Force if the charge is positive, if the charge is negative it is in the opposite direction

In this case we want the magnetic force to be directed in the negative direction of the z axis.

The charge moves in the positive direction of the x-axis

the palm must point in the negative directional of the Z axis, ie the negative charge

therefore the fingers extended points in the negative direction of the y-axis

an object is thrown horizontally off a cliff with an initial velocity of 5.0 meters per second. the object strikes the ground 3.
Olegator [25]
You know that the formula for finding horizontal displacement is; 

s=uₓt 
s=(5 m/s)(3s) 
s=15 m

Therefore, the ball travelled 15 m.

A sports car moving at constant speed travels 164 m in 13.77 s. If it then brakes and comes to a stop in 3.6 s. What is its acce
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

a = - 0.3376 g's

Explanation:

The sports car has a constant speed when travelling. Covered 164 m in 13.77 s. Thus, speed = 164/13.77 m/s

It brakes and now comes to a stop in 3.6 s.

Thus final velocity = 0 m/s

Formula for acceleration is;

a = (v - u)/t

a = (0 - (164/13.77))/3.6

a = -3.308 m/s²

In terms of g's", where 1.00 g = 9.80 m/s², we have;

a = -3.308/9.8 g's

a = - 0.3376 g's
