Explain how the intensity of the UV light varies across the Earth

Physics

Answer:

Much more UV radiation is absorbed and less reaches the Earth. UV levels are higher closer to the equator. Closer to the equator the sun's rays have a shorter distance to travel through the atmosphere and therefore less of the harmful UV radiation can be absorbed.

Explanation: Hope it helps you :)))))

Have a good day

FIGURE 1 shows part of a mass spectrometer. The whole arrangement is in a vacuum. Negative ions of mass 2.84 x 10-20 kg and char

yuradex [85]

Yes, the ions can exit slit P without being deflected, if the electric field strength is 170.6 N/C

Explanation:

When the ions are inside the container, they are subjected to two forces, with directions opposite to each other:

The force due to the electric field, whose magnitude is $F_E=qE$ , where q is the charge of the ion and E is the strength of the electric field
The force due to the magnetic field, whose magnitude is $F_B=qvB$ , where v is the speed of the ions and B is the strength of the magnetic field

The ions will move straight and undeflected if the two forces are equal and opposite. By using Fleming Left Hand rule, we notice that the magnetic force on the (negative) ions point upward: this means that the electric field must be also upward (so that the electric force on the ions is downward). Then, the two forces are balanced if

$F_E = F_B$

which translates into

$qE=qvB\\\rightarrow v = \frac{E}{B}$

Therefore, if the speed of the ions is equal to this ratio, the ions will go undeflected.

We can even calculate the value of E at which this occurs. In fact, we know that the ions are earlier accelerated by a potential difference $V=-3000 V$ , so we have that their kinetic energy is given by the change in electric potential energy:

$qV=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

$q=-2.0\cdot 10^{-19}C\\m=2.84\cdot 10^{-20}kg$

Solving for v, the speed,

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(-2.0\cdot 10^{-19})(-3000)}{2.84\cdot 10^{-20}}}=205.6 m/s$

And since the magnetic field strength is

B = 0.83 T

The strength of the electric field must be

$E=vB=(205.6 m/s)(0.83 T)=170.6 N/C$

What is the electric potential energy of an electron at the negative end of the cable, relative to the positive end of the cable

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Electric potential energy at the negative terminal: $1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J$

Explanation:

When a particle with charge $q$ travels across a potential difference $\Delta V$ , then its change in electric potential energy is

$\Delta U = q \Delta V$

In this problem, we know that:

The particle is an electron, so its charge is

$q=-1.60\cdot 10^{-19}C$

We also know that the positive terminal is at potential

$V_+=0V$

While the negative terminal is at potential

$V_-=-12 V$

Therefore, the potential difference (final minus initial) is

$\Delta V = -12-0 = -12 V$

So, the change in potential energy of the electron is

$\Delta U = (-1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(-12)=1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J$

This means that the electron when it is at the negative terminal has $1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J$ of energy more than when it is at the positive terminal.

Since the potential at the positive terminal is 0, this means that the electric potential energy of the electron at the negative end is

$1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J$

A Nichrome wire 44 cm long and 0.30 mm in diameter is connected to a 3.1 V flashlight battery. What is the electric field inside

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

7.05 Volts/m

Explanation:

L = length of the Nichrome wire = 44 cm = 0.44 m

V = Potential difference across the end of the wire = battery voltage = 3.1 Volts

E = magnitude of electric field inside the wire

Magnitude of electric field inside the wire is given as

$E = \frac{V}{L}$

Inserting the values

$E = \frac{3.1}{0.44}$

E = 7.05 Volts/m
