    What is the Force Exerted on a Ball Dropped into a Horizontal Magnetic Field?

    ok I think I might have gotten the first one... I just figured if it's got to be deflected east then there must be some force to the east so by the equation F=qv X B for F to be in the +x direction or East, and with v being in the - y direction and B also in the -y direction, then + = q (-)(-)...

    What is the Force Exerted on a Ball Dropped into a Horizontal Magnetic Field?

    Hey I tried posting this in another thread but no one was answering and I'm really quite stuck... ok here's my problem(s)... I think the first one I'm missing something... it says: A particle initially moving south in a vertically downward magnetic field is deflected toward the east...

    Help Solve Kristi's Physics Problem: Particle Deflection & Magnetic Force

    ok here's my problem(s)... I think the first one I'm missing something... it says: A particle initially moving south in a vertically downward magnetic field is deflected toward the east. What is the sign of the charge on the particle? Explain your answer with a diagram. So the way I...

    How Does Electric Potential Difference Affect Particle Velocity?

    dangerous balloons? Thanks just the same :) I've finished yet another physics assignment! Well except for part c of one of them... why isn't a balloon charged with 1200V potential difference (relative to me) dangerous? I know that it isn't, but I don't think they're looking for "bc it's a...

    How Does Electric Potential Difference Affect Particle Velocity?

    Ok i got it...I didn't know to leave it in kg...but that made the difference... Thanks yet again physics man!

    How Does Electric Potential Difference Affect Particle Velocity?

    It seems like this should be really easy but I've been stuck for awhile... A small particle has charge -5.00 uC and mass 2.00E-4 kg. It moves from point a, where the electric potential is Va=+200V, to point b, where the electric potential is Vb=+800V. The electric force is the only force...

    What Is the Electric Field Near Charged Objects?

    hey I think I got part a of the second one...I'm so dumb all I had to do was make the distances be the radii of the gaussian surface right? and then I got the charge based on the first length, then I got the second E with the charge...I really think I got it! Awesome :) now on to cylinders...

    What Is the Electric Field Near Charged Objects?

    So even though there's a charged sphere like 3 cm away it doesn't affect the flux on the cube all because it's empty. So I had to kinda put a Gaussian surface around the box, not the sphere... That's good to know... and for the Second one the work I did already was wrong too huh? I'll have...

    Who's using masteringphysics.com here?

    I am using the University Physics with Modern Physics 11th Edition and I tried to get onto masteringphysics.com today but I don't have a course code or something so I'm still working on that one...it's not required for the class so it's no big I just needed help with Gauss' Law tonight so I was...

    What Is the Electric Field Near Charged Objects?

    Ok here's what I tried for 1 I went with Flux=integral of E da and got as far as the flux was 2.3 x 10^5 for the sphere, then I didn't even know why I got the flux at all... I'll look at Gauss' Law again I guess.. Other question, what is the value of epsilon naught? Because I know that...

    What Is the Electric Field Near Charged Objects?

    I need some guidance if anyone can help me! 1. A small cube of volume 8.0 cm^3 is .30 cm from a metal sphere that has charge 2.00uC. If the cube is empty, what is the total flux through it? I tried finding the flux of the sphere as if it was a point charge but I don't know where to go...
