Answer:

F = 2.01*10^-16N -^k

Explanation:

In order to calculate the magnetic force perceived by the bee, you use the following formula:

F=qv\ X\ B            (1)

q: charge of the bee = 1pC = 1*10^-12 C

The average speed of a bee and the magnetic field of the earth are:

v = 6.70m/s

B = 30*10^-6 T

The bee is flying to the west (-^i). You consider that the magnetic field direction is to the north (^j). Then, the direction of the magnetic force is:

-^i X ^j = -^k

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1), in order to calculate the magnitude of the force:

|F|=qvB=(1*10^{-12}C)(6.70m/s)(30*10^{-6}T)=2.01*10^{-16}N

The magnetic force perceived by the bee is 2.01*10^-16N in the -^k direction, that is, toward the ground

A 6.0 kg box slides down an inclined plane that makes an angle of 39° with the horizontal. If the coefficient of kinetic frictio
dlinn [17]

Answer:

a = 4.72 m/s²  

Explanation:

given,

mass of the box (m)= 6 Kg

angle of inclination (θ) = 39°

coefficient of kinetic friction (μ) = 0.19

magnitude of acceleration = ?

box is sliding downward so,

F - f = m a                        

f is the friction force

m g sinθ - μ N = ma                        

m g sinθ - μ m g cos θ = ma            

a = g sinθ - μ g cos θ                    

a = 9.8 x sin 39° - 0.19 x 9.8 x cos 39°

a = 4.72 m/s²                                      

the magnitude of acceleration of the box down the slope is a = 4.72 m/s²

If vx=9.80 units and vy=-6.40 units, determine the magnitude and direction of v
dexar [7]
The resultant vector can be determined by the component vectors. The component vectors are vector lying along the x and y-axes. The equation for the resultant vector, v is:

v = √(vx² + vy²)
v = √[(9.80)² + (-6.40)²]
v = √137 or 11.7 units

Trained dolphins are capable of a vertical leap of 7.0 m straight up from the surface of the water - an impressive feat. Suppose
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:14 m

Explanation:

Given

Vertical jump make by the dolphin is given by h=7\ m

Suppose the dolphin jump with an initial velocity of u

so u is given by u^2=2\cdot g\cdot h

If dolphin launches at an angle \theta then maximum horizontal range is given by

assuming the of Dolphin to be Projectile so range is given by

R=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta }{g}

substitute the value of u^2

R=\frac{2\times 9.8\times 7\sin 2\theta }{9.8}

R=2h\sin 2\theta

Range will be maximum for \theta =45^{\circ}

thus R_{max}=2\times 7\times 1=14\ m

A charge Q is placed on the x axis at x = +4.0 m. A second charge q is located at the origin. If Q = +75 nC and q = −8.0 nC, wha
Stells [14]

Answer:

23.1 N/C

Explanation:

OP = 3 m , OQ = 4 m

PQ = \sqrt{4^{2}+3^{2}}=5 m

q = - 8 nC, Q = 75 nC

Electric field at P due to the charge Q is

E_{1}=\frac{KQ}{PQ^{2}}=\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 75\times 10^{-9}}{25}=27 N/C

Electric field at P due to the charge q is

E_{2}=\frac{Kq}{PO^{2}}=\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 8\times 10^{-9}}{9}=8 N/C

According to the diagram, tanθ = 3/4

Resolve the components of E1 along x axis and along y axis.

So, Electric field along X axis, Ex = - E1 Cos θ

Ex = - 27 x 4 / 5 = - 21.6 N/C

Electric field along y axis, Ey = E1 Sinθ - E2

Ey = 27 x 3 /5 - 8 = 8.2 N/C

The resultant electric field at P is given by

E=\sqrt{E_{x}^{2}+E_{y}^{2}}=\sqrt{(-21.6)^{2}+(8.2)^{2}}=23.1 N/C

Consider an alcohol and a mercury thermometer that read exactly 0 oC at the ice point and 100 oC at the steam point. The distanc
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

No, both the thermometers will give the different reading.

Explanation:

Given,

  • Both thermometer has same ice point = T_i\ =\ 0^o C
  • Both thermometer has same steam point = T_s\ =\ 100^o C
  • Distance between the ice point and steam point in both the thermometer is same of 100 division,

All the data given in both the thermometers are same, but the material in the thermometer is different due to this the reading at 60^o C will differ in both the thermometer. Because the reading on both the thermometer is depended upon the thermal expansion of the material inside it, but both the materials are different. Due to this the rise of fluid in the thermometer, i,e,. the volume of the fluid material in the thermometer will depend upon the thermal expansion.  Hence both the material alcohol and mercury have the different thermal expansion, therefore the rise of the fluid in the thermometer also differ in both the thermometer.
