To solve this problem we will use the vector concept given by the cross product between two perpendicular vectors and which results in a vector perpendicular to these two. From the definition of the Magnetic Force we have to

\vec{F}=q(\vec{v}\times\vec{B})

From the property of cross product the magnetic force should point in the direction perpendicular to the plane containing the vectors v and B.

The direction of velocity is north, and the direction of the magnetic force is northeast.

This cannot be the case, as the direction of magnetic force is not perpendicular to the direction of velocity of the charge.

Therefore the correct option for the direction of the magnetic field is <em>"This situation cannot exist because of the relative orientations of the velocity and force vectors" </em>

a 4357 kg roller coaster car starts from rest at the top of a 36.5 m high track. determine the speed of the car at the top of a
andrey2020 [161]
The correct answer is 17.24 m/s. You get the answer by subtracting the two heights of the tracks which are 36.5 and 10.8 m, and the answer is 25.7. Since you already know the height at which the kinetic energy will be coming from, you then divide the amount of weight the roller coaster has to the distance it needs to travel in order for you to determine the speed of the car. So that is, 4,357 kg and 25.7 m and the answer is 169 kg/m. Dividing it to the earth's gravity of 9.8 m/s you'll get 17.24 m/s.

A 250 GeV beam of protons is fired over a distance of 1 km. If the initial size of the wave packet is 1 mm, find its final size
Margarita [4]

Answer:

The final size is approximately equal to the initial size due to a very small relative increase of 1.055\times 10^{- 7} in its size

Solution:

As per the question:

The energy of the proton beam, E = 250 GeV =250\times 10^{9}\times 1.6\times 10^{- 19} = 4\times 10^{- 8} J

Distance covered by photon, d = 1 km = 1000 m

Mass of proton, m_{p} = 1.67\times 10^{- 27} kg

The initial size of the wave packet, \Delta t_{o} = 1 mm = 1\times 10^{- 3} m

Now,

This is relativistic in nature

The rest mass energy associated with the proton is given by:

E = m_{p}c^{2}

E = 1.67\times 10^{- 27}\times (3\times 10^{8})^{2} = 1.503\times 10^{- 10} J

This energy of proton is \simeq 250 GeV

Thus the speed of the proton, v\simeq c

Now, the time taken to cover 1 km = 1000 m of the distance:

T = \frac{1000}{v}

T = \frac{1000}{c} = \frac{1000}{3\times 10^{8}} = 3.34\times 10^{- 6} s

Now, in accordance to the dispersion factor;

\frac{\delta t_{o}}{\Delta t_{o}} = \frac{ht_{o}}{2\pi m_{p}\Delta t_{o}^{2}}

\frac{\delta t_{o}}{\Delta t_{o}} = \frac{6.626\times 10^{- 34}\times 3.34\times 10^{- 6}}{2\pi 1.67\times 10^{- 27}\times (10^{- 3})^{2} = 1.055\times 10^{- 7}

Thus the increase in wave packet's width is relatively quite small.

Hence, we can say that:

\Delta t_{o} = \Delta t

where

\Delta t = final width

Each plate of a parallel-plate capacator is a square with side length r, and the plates are separated by a distance d. The capac
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Explanation:

Before the dialectic was inserted the capacitor is Co

When the slab is inserted,

The capacitor becomes

C=kCo

The charge Q is given as

Q=CV

Then, when C=Co

Qo=CoV

Then, when C=kCo

Q=kCoV

Then, the change in charges is given as

Q-Qo= kCoV - CoV

∆Q= kCoV - CoV

Current is given as

I=dQ/dt

I= (kCoV - CoV) / dt

I=Co(kV-V)/dt

Note Co is the value capacitor

So, Capacitance of parallel plates capacitor is given as

Co=εoA/d

Then,

I=εoA(kV-V)/d•dt

I=VεoA(k-1)/d•dt

Where A=πr²

I = V•εo•πr²•(k-1) / d•dt

This is the required expression for current is in the required term
