An electron travels with v =5.90×10^6i^m/s through a point in space where E =(2.20×10^5i−2.20×10^5j^)V/m and B =−0.180k^T. What is the force on the electron?
Express vector F in the form Fx, Fy, where the x and y components are separated by a comma.
The IKAROS spacecraft, launched in 2010, was designed to test the feasibility of solar sails for spacecraft propulsion. These large, ultralight sails are pushed on by the force of light from the sun, so the spacecraft doesn't need to carry any fuel. The force on IKAROS's sails was measured to be 1.12 mNmN.
If this were the only force acting on the 290 kg spacecraft, by how much would its speed increase after 7.0 months of flight? Assume there are 30 days in each month.
What force is required to accelerate an electron to 1.00 x 10^2 m/s?

(Express your answers in vector form.) (a) Calculate the force the proton exerts on the alpha particle. (b) Calculate the force the alpha particle exerts on the proton. MY NOTESarrow_forwardIn this problem, we will try to understand why chemical reactions cannot power the Sun, but nuclear reactions can. The energy scale of chemical reactions is a few eV, where eV is a unit of energy called an electron volt. 1 eV = 1.602 x 10-19 J. A typical chemical reaction involves an energy change of ~0.1 to 10 eV. In contrast, a nuclear reaction typically involves a change in energy of order a few MeV (mega electron volts; a factor of a million larger). Suppose that the Sun has a constant luminosity throughout its life, equal to its current luminosity of L⊙=3.827×1026J/s . Suppose also that the Sun is made entirely of hydrogen (or just protons, since the mass of the electron is about 2000 times smaller and is negligible in comparison). If every pair of two protons in the Sun undergo a one-time chemical reaction that nets ~1 eV of energy, how long would it take (in years) to expend all the available chemical energy?arrow_forward

- Newton's universal law of gravitation states that every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force along a line joining them. The force is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Mathematically, it can be written as GMm F According to this law, when mass of both objects is doubled, the force r m becomes two times larger compared to original O becomes four times larger compared to original becomes quarter of the original O becomes half compared to originalarrow_forwardTwo planes approach each other head-on, each has a speed of 785 kph and they spot each other when they are initially 11 km apart.
