- 1.) A proton is moving to the right (along the positive x-axis) under the influence of an electrical field. It starts off with an initial velocity of 8x104" and comes to a stop over a distance of 1 kilometer. It travels in a straight line. a) What is the force that the proton experiences (magnitude and direction)? b) What is the magnitude and direction of the electrical field?arrow_forwardR1 R2 Q6.6 If the reading of the galvanometer is zero in the shown figure ww and the ratio R1/R2 = 7, then the ratio L1/L2 equals: L2 L1 to 7 14 The data is not enough to find this ratio 0.286 0.143arrow_forwardP9.

- An iron bolt of mass 60.0 g hangs from a string 30 cm long. The top end of the string is fixed. Without touching it, a magnet attracts the bolt so that it remains stationary but is displaced horizontally 28 cm to the right from the previously vertical line of the string. The magnet is located to the right of the bolt and on the same vertical level as the bolt in the final configuration.a. Draw the free-body diagram of the bolt.b. Find the tension in the string and the magnetic force on the bolt.arrow_forwardQuestion 2 P Flag question The force of attraction between two particles is inversely proportional to the distance between the two particles' surfaces.

- When a star dies, much of its mass may collapse into a single point known as a black hole. The gravitational force of a black hole on surrounding astronomical objects can be very great. Astronomers estimate the strength of this force by observing the orbits of such objects around a black hole. What is the gravitational force exerted by a black hole on a 1-solar-mass star whose orbit has a 1.4 1010 m radius and a period of 5.6 days?arrow_forwardIn a thundercloud there may be an electric charge of +30 C near the top of the cloud and −30 C near the bottom of the cloud.
