Equal charges, one at rest, the other having a velocity of 104 m/s, are released in a uniform magnetic field. Which charge has the largest force exerted on it by the magnetic field?
a. The charge that is at rest. b. The charge that is moving, if its velocity is parallel to the magnetic field direction when it is released. c. The charge that is moving if its velocity makes an angle of 45o with the direction of the magnetic field when it is released. d. The charge that is moving if its velocity is perpendicular to the magnetic field direction when it is released. e. All the charges above experience equal forces when released in the same magnetic field.
Uniform Circular Motion: One way that future space stations may create artificial gravity is by rotating the station. Consider a cylindrical space station 380 m in diameter that is rotating about its longitudinal axis. Astronauts walk on the inside surface of the space station. How long will it take for each rotation of the cylinder if it is to provide "normal" gravity for the astronauts?
A. 28 s B. 39 s C. 6.2 s D. 4.4 s
