Answer:

Opposite direction

Explanation:

For example: The first object travels in the direction pointing to east, while the other one travels pointing to the west.

The first object will have a positive value while the second one will have a negative, cause it's going to the opposite direction

An upward force act on a proton as it moves with a speed of 2.0 x 10^5 meters/seconds through a magnetic field of 8.5 x 10^2

Gekata [30.6K]

Force on a moving charge is given by formula

$\vec F = q(\vec v \times \vec B)$

here we know that this force will be maximum when velocity is perpendicular to magnetic field

$\vec F = qvB$

here we know that

$v = 2.0 \times 10^5 m/s$

$q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$

$B = 8.5 \times 10^2 T$

now we have

$F = (1.6 \times 10^{-19})(2 \times 10^5)(8.5 \times 10^2)$

$F = 2.72 \times 10^{-11} N$

1. thomas jefferson proposed using the length (l) of a simple pendulum whose period (t) was exactly 2 seconds as the definition

Alecsey [184]

The length of a 2 sec pendulum is 1 m.

Given that, initial length of the simple pendulum L₁ = 1 m

Initial time period T₁ = 2 sec

We need to find the length of the pendulum whose time period is 2 sec

T₂ = 2 sec

L₂ = ?

We know that the time period of the simple pendulum is given by the formula,

T = 2π√(L/g)

From the above relation, we can write T ∝ √L

T₁ / T₂ = √(L₁/L₂)

Making L₂ from the above relation, we have,

L₂ = (T₂² * L₁)/ T₁² = 2² * 1/ 2² = 1 m

Thus, the length of a 2 sec pendulum is 1 m.

Astronaut mark uri is space-traveling from planet x to planet y at a speed of relative to the planets, which are at rest relativ

lyudmila [28]

<span>From the point of view of the astronaut, he travels between planets with a speed of 0.6c. His distance between the planets is less than the other bodies around him and so by applying Lorentz factor, we have 2*</span>√1-0.6² = 1.6 light hours. On the other hand, from the point of view of the other bodies, time for them is slower. For the bodies, they have to wait for about 1/0.6 = 1.67 light hours while for him it is 1/(0.8) = 1.25 light hours. The remaining distance for the astronaut would be 1.67 - 1.25 = 0.42 light hours. And then, light travels in all frames and so the astronaut will see that the flash from the second planet after 0.42 light hours and from the 1.25 light hours is, 1.25 - 0.42 = 0.83 light hours or 49.8 minutes.
