Answer:

An elliptical orbit is the revolving of one object around another in an oval-shaped path called an ellipse. The planets in the solar system orbit the sun in elliptical orbits. Many satellites orbit the Earth in elliptical orbits as does the moon.

n alpha particle (q = +2e, m = 4.00 u) travels in a circular path of radius 5.94 cm in a uniform magnetic field with B = 1.10 T.
9966 [12]

Answer:

a). V = 3.13*10⁶ m/s

b). T = 1.19*10^-7s

c). K.E = 2.04*10⁵

d). V = 1.02*10⁵V

Explanation:

q = +2e

M = 4.0u

r = 5.94cm = 0.0594m

B = 1.10T

1u = 1.67 * 10^-27kg

M = 4.0 * 1.67*10^-27 = 6.68*10^-27kg

a). Centripetal force = magnetic force

Mv / r = qB

V = qBr / m

V = [(2 * 1.60*10^-19) * 1.10 * 0.0594] / 6.68*10^-27

V = 2.09088 * 10^-20 / 6.68 * 10^-27

V = 3.13*10⁶ m/s

b). Period of revolution.

T = 2Πr / v

T = (2*π*0.0594) / 3.13*10⁶

T = 1.19*10⁻⁷s

c). kinetic energy = ½mv²

K.E = ½ * 6.68*10^-27 * (3.13*10⁶)²

K.E = 3.27*10^-14J

1ev = 1.60*10^-19J

xeV = 3.27*10^-14J

X = 2.04*10⁵eV

K.E = 2.04*10⁵eV

d). K.E = qV

V = K / q

V = 2.04*10⁵ / (2eV).....2e-

V = 1.02*10⁵V

A simple model of a hydrogen atom is a positive point charge +e (representing the proton) at the center of a ring of radius a wi
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Now e is due to the ring at a

So

We say

1/4πEo(ea/ a²+a²)^3/2

= 1/4πEo ea/2√2a³

So here E is faced towards the ring

Next is E due to a point at the centre

So

E² = 1/4πEo ( e/a²)

Finally we get the total

Et= E²-E

= e/4πEo(2√2-1/2√2)

So the direction here is away from the ring

A Shaolin monk of mass 60 kg is able to do a ‘finger stand’: he supports his whole weight on his two index fingers, giving him a
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

1500000 Pa

Explanation:

The formula for pressure is force per unit area.

P=F/A where  F is force and A is area

Given that ;

F= mass * acceleration due to gravity

F= 60 * 9.81 = 588.6 = 589 N

A= area = 4cm² = 0.0004 m²

P= F/A = 589 / 0.0004

P= 1471500

P=1500000 Pa

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

240N

Explanation:

The formula for force is F=mass×acceleration.

Therefore, Force= 120×2= 240N
