Aparticle has a charge of q = +4.8 μc and is located at the origin. as the drawing shows, an electric field of ex = +240 n/c exists along the +x axis. a magnetic field also exists, and its x and y components are bx = +1.6 t and by = +1.7 t. calculate the force (magnitude and direction) exerted on the particle by each of the three fields when it is (a) stationary, (b) moving along the +x axis at a speed of 345 m/s, and (c) moving along the +z axis at a speed of 345 m/s.

Solution
The charge is $q=+4.8 \mu C=+4.8 \cdot 10^{-6} C$

(a) The particle is stationary.
- The magnitude of the force exerted by the electric field is given by
$F_E = qE=(+4.8 \cdot 10^{-6} C)(240 N/C)=1.15 \cdot 10^{-3} N$
the direction of this force is the same as the direction of the field, so along the positive x-axis.
- The Lorentz force, which is the force exerted by a magnetic field B on a particle moving with speed v, is
$F=qvB sin \theta$
where $\theta$ is the angle between the direction of v and B. In this part of the problem the particle is stationary, so v=0 and the two fields Bx and By do not exert any force on the particle, so
$F_{Bx}=F_{By}=0$

(part b) the particle is moving with velocity v_x = 345 m/s

along positive x-axis
- The intensity of the electric force does not depend on the velocity of the particle, therefore it is the same as before:
$F=qE=1.15 \cdot 10^{-3} N$
- The field Bx is parallel to the direction of motion of the particle (x-axis). Therefore, the angle between v and B is $0^{\circ}$ , and so the force exerted by this field is still zero:
$F_{Bx}=0$
- Instead, the field By (y-axis) is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the particle (x-axis), so $\theta = 90^{\circ}$ and $\sin \theta = 1$ . Therefore, the intensity of the force is given by
$F_{By}=qvB_y = (4.8 \cdot 10^{-6} C)(345 m/s)(1.7 T)=2.82 \cdot 10^{-3} N$
Using the thumb rule, we can find the direction of this force:
v-index finger - positive x-axis
B-middle finger - positive y-axis
F-thumb -positive z-axis --> this is the direction of $F_{By}$

(part 3) the particle is moving along positive z-direction with v_z = 345 m/s

- The electric field does not change because it does not depend on the velocity, so
$F_E = 1.15 \cdot 10^{-3} N$
still along positive x-direction.
- Bx: the angle between v and Bx is $90^{\circ}$ , so $sin \theta=1$ . Therefore the intensity of the force is
$F_{Bx}=qvB_x = 2.66 \cdot 10^{-3} N$
Applying the thumb rule, we find that the direction of this force is along positive y-axis.
- By: the angle between v and By is $90^{\circ}$ , so $sin \theta=1$ . Therefore the intensity of the force is
$F_{By}=qvB_y = 2.82 \cdot 10^{-3} N$
And by using again the thumb rule, we find that the direction of this force is along negative x-axis.

The speed of sound in ice, water, and steam is shown. what best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter? sound travels fastest in ice because energy is easier to transfer when the molecules are close together. sound travels slowest in steam because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart. sound travels fastest in ice because the temperature of solids is always greater, so the heat transfers the sound energy. sound travels slowest in steam because the pressure is so great the sound cannot travel though the steam particles.

The ultracentrifuge is an important tool for separating and analyzing proteins. because of the enormous centripetal accelerations, the centrifuge must be carefully balanced, with each sample matched by a sample of identical mass on the opposite side. any difference in the masses of opposing samples creates a net force on the shaft of the rotor, potentially leading to a catastrophic failure of the apparatus. suppose a scientist makes a slight error in sample preparation and one sample has a mass 10 mg larger than the opposing sample. if the samples are 12 cm from the axis of the rotor and the ultracentrifuge spins at 70,000 rpm, what is the magnitude of the net force on the rotor due to the unbalanced samples? ( be thorough on your answer)
