This question involves the concepts of the law of conservation of momentum and speed.

She moves with a speed of "0.41 m/s".

Applying the law of conservation of momentum to this situation, we get:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

where,

m₁ = mass of shirley = 65 kg

m₂ = mass of tank = 12 kg

u₁ = initial speed of shirley = 0 m/s

u₂ = initial speed of tank = 0 m/s

v₁ = final speed of shirley = ?

v₂ = final speed of tank = 2.2 m/s

Therefore,

(65\ kg)(0\ m/s)+(12\ kg)(0\ m/s)=(65\ kg)(v_1)+(12\ kg)(2.2\ m/s)\\\\v_1=\frac{-26.4\ kg.m/s}{65\ kg}\\\\v_1=-0.41\ m/s

negative sign shows the opposite direction.

A crossed-field velocity selector has a magnetic field of magnitude 0.03 T. The mass of the electron is 9.10939 × 10−31 kg. What
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

E = 4.78*10^6 N/C

Explanation:

In this case you have to take into account that both magnetic force and electric force must be equal

F_E=F_B\\\\qE=qvB

E=vB

However, you have to know first what is the speed of the electron by using the expression for the kinetic energy (1keV=1000*1.6*10^{-19}J):

E_k=\frac{1}{2}m_ev^2\\\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2E_k}{m_e}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(6500(1.6*10^{-19}J))}{9.1*10^{-31}kg}}=4.78*10^{7}\frac{m}{s}

by replacing in the expression for the forces you have

E=(4.78*10^{7}\frac{m}{s})(0.03T)=1.43*10^{6}N/C

HOPE THIS HELPS!!

1: Which of the following parts of a dry cell corresponds to the salt bridge shown in the diagram attached inside?
Illusion [34]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The salt bridge in the diagram would be a paste. I would like to assume that the paste consists of the Na2SO4 salt. <span>The </span>purpose<span> of a </span>salt bridge<span> is not to move electrons from the electrolyte, rather to maintain charge balance because the electrons are moving from one half </span>cell<span> to the other.</span>
