What's phase changes mean? i can't find it

Aparticle with mass 1.81×10−3 kg and a charge of 1.22×10−8 c has, at a given instant, a velocity v⃗ =(3.00×104m/s)j^. what are the magnitude and direction of the particle’s acceleration produced by a uniform magnetic field b⃗ =(1.63t)i^+(0.980t)j^?

Suppose that an electromagnetic wave which is linearly polarized along the x−axis is propagating in vacuum along the z−axis. the wave is incident on a conductor which is placed at z > 0 region of the space. the conductor has conductivity σ, magnetic permeability µ and electric permittivity ε. (a) find the characteristic time for the free charge density which dissipates at the conductor. (b) write the maxwell equations and derive the wave equation for a plane wave propagating in a conductor. (c) find the attenuation distance at which the incident amplitude reduces to e ^−1 of its initial value. (d) find the electric and magnetic fields inside the conductor. 8 (e) find the power loss per area of the incident electromagnetic wave at the surface of conductor.

Determine the force the sun exerts on an object with a mass of 80.0 kg if that object is on the earth. what is the force exerted by the moon on the same object? what is the force the earth exerts on it?
