Aircraft sometimes acquire small static charges. suppose a supersonic jet has a 0.55 μc charge and flies due west at a speed of 685 m/s over the earth's south magnetic pole, where the 8.00 x 10^-5 t magnetic field points straight up. what is the magnitude of the magnetic force on the plane, in newtons?

3.014 x 10⁻⁸ N

Explanation:

q = magnitude of charge on the supersonic jet = 0.55 μC = 0.55 x 10⁻⁶ C

v = speed of the jet = 685 m/s

B = magnitude of magnetic field in the region = 8 x 10⁻⁵ T

θ = angle between the magnetic field and direction of motion = 90

magnitude of the magnetic force is given as

F = q v B Sinθ

F = (0.55 x 10⁻⁶) (685) (8 x 10⁻⁵) Sin90

F = 3.014 x 10⁻⁸ N

when two balls of the different masses are dropped from equal height, they reach the ground at the same time .this is because they experience the same acceleration.

the acceleration is independent of mass.

thus when they are dropped they will always maintain the same velocity and travel the same distance (neglect air resistance of course) at the same time.

answer: 31, 5556. 952 seconds
