Hi there!

We can use Newton's Second Law:

\Sigma F = ma

∑F = net force (N)

m = mass (kg)

a = acceleration (m/s²)

We are given the mass and acceleration, so:

∑F = 20 · 2 = <u>40 N</u>

How often must you check the temperature of food that is being held with temperature control?.
loris [4]

You need to check the temperature of food being stored in a temperature-controlled environment every four hours. The process of changing a space's temperature is called temperature control.

Cooking food alone may not be enough to avoid food poisoning, though, if the bacteria in food are allowed to grow to large numbers. When the temperature is between 5°C and 63°C, bacteria can grow. The risk zone is the range between 5°C and 63°C.

Temperature control is a process where the passage of heat energy into or out of a space or substance is adjusted to achieve the desired temperature. This process involves measuring or otherwise detecting changes in the temperature of the space (and all of the objects contained therein) or of the substance.

An alpha particle (a helium nucleus, consisting of two protons and two neutrons) has a radius of approximately 1.6 × 10-15 m. A
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

9.96x10^-20 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Momentum p is the product of mass and velocity, i.e

P = mv

Alpha particles, like helium nuclei, have a net spin of zero. Due to the mechanism of their production in standard alpha radioactive decay, alpha particles generally have a kinetic energy of about 5 MeV, and a velocity in the vicinity of 5% the speed of light.

From this we calculate the speed as

v = 5% 0f 3x10^8 m/s (speed of light)

v = 1.5x10^7 m/s

The mass of an alpha particle is approximately 6.64×10−27 kg

Therefore,

P = 1.5x10^7 x 6.64×10^−27

P = 9.96x10^-20 kg-m/s

A charged particle moving along the x-axis enters a uniform magnetic field pointing along the z-axis. Because of an electric fie
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the charge particle have charge equal to +q .

force due to electric field will be along the field that is along y - axis . To balance it force by magnetic force must be along   - y axis. ( negative of y axis )

force due to magnetic field = q ( v x B ) , v is velocity and B is magnetic field.

F = q ( v i x B k )  , ( velocity is along x direction and magnetic field is along z axis. )

= (Bqv) - j  

= - Bqv j

The force will be along - ve y - direction .

If we take charge as negative or - q

force due to electric field will be along - y axis .

magnetic force = F = -q ( v i x B k )

= +  Bqv j

magnetic force will be along  + y axis

So it is difficult to find out the nature of charge on the  particle from this experiment.
