A 2.50-kg metallic ball at rest is being pulled by a strange magnetic field of a comet. The force exerted by the comet (in newtons) is given by the function F (r) = -kre¯ar, where: r: Distance from the comet's surface to the metallic ball, in meters. k =8.00 N m-2 -1 a = 2.00 m The metallic ball starts at a distant enough position from the comet such that the force is zero, then starts moving towards the comet. 1. What is the potential function U (r) of the comet? Use the condition U (ro). = lim, 0 U (r) = 0. r→∞ 2. What is the metallic ball's speed (in m/s) once the steel ball is one meter above the comet?

The magnetic force dFB on a infinitesimal segment of current I is dF = I dī × B Where dL is the displacement vector of the infinitesimal current segment. The total magnetic force on a finite current segment is dL dF I F = 1S (dL x B) 1. If the magnetic field is uniform in space the magnetic force on current simplifies to FB = I (L × B). What is vector L in this expression? Choose one. L is the length of the current segment L is the vector from the point where the current enters the uniform field to the point where the current leaves the uniform field. L is the current.

Two blocks, M=B.00 kg and m=2.00 kg are being pulled across a rough floor(u k=0.14) by a force of FO= 68N directed 52 degrees above the horizontal, as shown. The top block m cannot slide on the bottom block so the system can be treated as a single 10.0 kg block which we will call MT Fo, M-2.0 ks 520 M-8.0kg
uppose you are working on a science lab in which your professor asks you to turn a knob 750 on the detector you are using. Unfortunately, you have been working in radians for a while, so you are having trouble remembering how far to turn the knob. How would you translate the instructions in degrees to radians?
A particle with a charge of - 5.30 nC is moving in a uniform magnetic field of B = −( 1.28 T )k. The magnetic force on the particle is measured to be F = −( 4.00×10-7 N )i +( 7.60×10−7 N )j.

Suppose there were an asteroid approaching the Earth-Moon system starting from rest at infinity. Under what conditions would it experience forces directing it toward a collision with the Moon rather than toward a collision with Earth? If it were on a path within a narrow cone where the field lines converge directly toward the Moon it would go there. Otherwise it would end at Earth. All the field lines converge at the Earth rather than the Moon. The field at a distance would take take it with equal probability toward the Earth or toward the Moon. The field would take it mostly through the empty space between Earth and Moon with no collision
Classify each of the following statements as a characteristic of electric forces only, magnetic forces only, both electric and magnetic forces, or neither electric nor magnetic forces. (i) The force is proportional to the magnitude of the field exerting it. electric forces only magnetic forces only both electric and magnetic forces neither electric nor magnetic forces (ii) The force is proportional to the magnitude of the charge of the object on which the force is exerted. electric forces only magnetic forces only both electric and magnetic forces neither electric nor magnetic forces (iii) The force exerted on a negatively charged object is opposite in direction to the force on a positive charge. electric forces only magnetic forces only both electric and magnetic forces neither electric nor magnetic forces (iv) The force exerted on a stationary charged object is nonzero. electric forces only magnetic forces only both electric and magnetic forces neither electric nor magnetic forces…
