What are the missing entries in the table for the right hand rule?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around completing a table that relates the charge, velocity, magnetic field, and force of a charged particle moving perpendicular to a magnetic field. Participants are tasked with identifying missing entries in the velocity, B-field, and force columns based on the right-hand rule and the equation F=q(vXB). One user suggests redrawing the table for clarity, indicating confusion with the current format. The correct entries proposed include +x for velocity, -y for the B-field, and +x for force, although there is uncertainty about the second entry. The conversation emphasizes the importance of accurately applying the right-hand rule to solve the problem effectively.

Sure for all of them except 2.but i am wrong

I think you should redraw your table, since it means nothing as it is!
 
the relevant equation is F=q(vXB)
 
so what do u think?
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'
I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
