B. The closest point in the moon's orbit to Earth. Peri+Geo=close+Earth. The closest thing to the earth is the moon, therefore Perigee has to do with the moon being close to the Earth.

Machmer Hall is 400 m North and 180 m West of Witless.

yan [13]

Answer:

The distance from Witless to Machmer is 438.63 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Machmer Hall is 400 m North and 180 m West of Witless.

We need to calculate the distance

Using Pythagorean theorem

$D = \sqrt{(d_{m})^2+(d_{w})^2}$

Where, $d_{m}$ =distance of Machmer Hall

$d_{w}$ =distance of Witless

Put the value into the formula

$D = \sqrt{(400)^2+(180)^2}$

$D=438.63\ m$

Hence, The distance from Witless to Machmer is 438.63 m.

A charged particle accelerated to a velocity v enters the chamber of a mass spectrometer. The particle's velocity is perpendicul

gladu [14]

Answer:

Circle

Explanation:

When a charged particle is in motion in a region with magnetic field, the particle experiences a force whose magnitude is given by

$F=qvB sin \theta$

where

q is the charge

v is the velocity of the particle

B is the strength of the magnetic field

$\theta$ is the angle between the directions of v and B

In this problem, the velocity of the particle is perpendicular to the magnetic field, so

$\theta=90^{\circ}$

and the formula reduces to

$F=qvB$

Also, the direction of this force is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the particle. This means that as the charge moves in the region of the magnetic field, the force acting on it acts as a centripetal force: therefore, the particle will start moving by unifom circular motion, with constant speed (because the magnetic force does no work on the particle, since it is perpendicular to the direction of motion).

So, the path of the particle will be a circle.
