Answer:

Explanation:

The sense of weightlessness in orbiting satellite is because of the lack of any contact-forces. ... Thus, both the astronaut and the satellite have the same value of g, which is again equal to the centripetal acceleration of the satellite. These two neutralize each other, causing everything to appear weightless.

An electron that has a velocity with x component 2.4 x 106 m/s and y component 3.6 x 106 m/s moves through a uniform magnetic fi
likoan [24]

Answer:

(a) 7.315 x 10^(-14) N

(b) - 7.315 x 10^(-14) N

Explanation:

As you referred at the final remark, the electron and proton undergo a magnetic force of same magnitude but opposite direction. Using the definition of magnetic force,  a cross product must be done. One technique is either calculate the magnitude of the velocity and magnetic field and multiplying by sin (90°), but it is necessary to assure both vectors are perpendicular between each other ( which is not the case) or do directly the cross product dealing with a determinant (which is the most convenient approach), thus,

(a) The electron has a velocity defined as:  \overrightarrow{v}=(2.4x10^{6} i + 3.6x10^{6} j) \frac{[m]}{[s]}\\\\

In respect to the magnetic field; \overrightarrow{B}=(0.027 i - 0.15 j) [T]

The magnetic force can be written as;

\overrightarrow{F} = q(\overrightarrow{v} x \overrightarrow{B})\\ \\\\\overrightarrow{F}= q \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\2.4x10^{6}&3.6x10^{6}&0\\0.027&-0.15&0\end{array}\right]

Bear in mind q =-1.6021x10^{-19} [C]  

thus,

\overrightarrow{F}= q \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\2.4x10^{6}&3.6x10^{6}&0\\0.027&-0.15&0\end{array}\right]\\\\\\\overrightarrow{F}= q(2.4x10^{6}* (-0.15)- (0.027*3.6x10^{6}))\\\\\\\overrightarrow{F}= -1.6021x10^{-19} [C](-457200) [T]\frac{m}{s}\\\\\overrightarrow{F}=(7.3152x10^{-14}) k [\frac{N*m/s}{C*m/s}]\\\\|F|= \sqrt{ (7.3152x10^{-14})^{2}[N]^2 *k^{2}}\\\\F=7.3152x10^{-14} [N]

Note: The cross product is operated as a determinant. Likewise, the product of the unit vector k is squared and that is operated as dot product whose value is equal to one, i.e, k^{2}=k\cdot k = 1

(b) Considering the proton charge has the same magnitude as electron does, but the sign is positive, thus

\overrightarrow{F}= q \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\2.4x10^{6}&3.6x10^{6}&0\\0.027&-0.15&0\end{array}\right]\\\\\\\overrightarrow{F}= q(2.4x10^{6}* (-0.15)- (0.027*3.6x10^{6}))\\\\\\\overrightarrow{F}= 1.6021x10^{-19} [C](-457200) [T]\frac{m}{s}\\\\\overrightarrow{F}=(-7.3152x10^{-14}) k [\frac{N*m/s}{C*m/s}]\\\\|F|= \sqrt{ (-7.3152x10^{-14})^{2}[N]^2 *k^{2}}\\\\F=-7.3152x10^{-14} [N]

Note: The cross product is operated as a determinant. Likewise, the product of the unit vector k is squared and that is operated as dot product whose value is equal to one, i.e, k^{2}=k\cdot k = 1

Final remarks: The cross product was performed in R3 due to the geometrical conditions of the problem.

<u>Answer</u>

A. Metals A and metals B



<u>Explanation</u>

Heat transfer takes place whenever there is temperature difference. When two bodies of different temperatures are brought together, heat energy will move from one body to the other until equilibrium temperature is reached.

In our case, heat transfer will take place in all four metals.

Metal A will transfer heat to the water since it's temperature is higher than that of water.

Metal B will also transfer heat to the water since it's temperature is higher than that of water.

Metal C will get heat from the water since it's colder than the water.

Metal D will also get heat from the water since it is colder than water.

A capacitor with plates separated by a distance d is charged to a potential difference ΔVC. All wires and batteries are disconne
Tom [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial separation of plate = d

final separation = 2d

The capacitance of the capacitor will reduce from C to C/2 because

capacitance = ε A / d

d is distance between plates.

As the batteries are disconnected , charge on the capacitor becomes fixed .

Initial charge on the capacitor

= Capacitance x potential difference

Q = C ΔV

Final charge will remain unchanged

Final charge = C ΔV

Final capacitance = C/2

Final potential difference = charge / capacitance

= C ΔV /  C/2

= 2 ΔV

Potential difference is doubled after the pates are further separated.

Which equation can be used to calculate the normal force on an object if you know the speed of the object, the coefficient of ki
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The friction force is the weight force times the coefficient of friction. So diving by the coefficient gives you the weight force which is equivalent to the normal force.

Jack travelled 360 km at an average speed of 80 km/h. Elaine
diamong [38]

Answer:

Average speed of Elain = 60 km/h

Explanation:

Total Distance covered by Jack = 360km

Average Speed of Jack = 80 km/h

Time taken by Jack to complete his journey = Distance / Average speed = 360 km / 80 km/h

Time taken by Jack to complete his journey = 4.5 hours

As it is given the both Jack and Elain travelled the same amount of distance:

Total distance travelled by Elain = 360 km

It is given that Elain took 1.5 hourse more than Jack to cover the distance, so Time taken by Elain to cover the distance is = 4.5 hours + 1.5 hours = 6 hours

Average speed of Elain = Distance/ time = 360 km / 6 hours

Average speed of Elain = 60 km/h
