question 54

Multiple Choice

A particle has a mass of 6.0 $\times$ 10^-6 kg and a velocity of 800 m/s along the x axis when a force of 14.4 $\times$ 10^-5 N along the y axis acts on the particle at right angles to its velocity.The acceleration of the particle is

• A)24 m/s² along the x axis.
• B)zero.
• C)impossible to determine; forces never act at right angles to velocities.
• D)24 m/s² along the y axis.
• E)tangential.

Definitions:

Unstructured Problems

Involve situations that are complex and lack clear definition or a straightforward solution path, often requiring creative problem-solving techniques.

Uncertain Environment

An environment that lacks so much information that it is difficult to assign probabilities to the likely outcomes of alternatives.

Probabilities

The measure of the likelihood that an event will occur, often expressed as a number between 0 and 1.

Nonprogrammed Decision
