In a mass spectrometer a particle of mass m and charge q is accelerated through a potential difference V and allowed to enter a

magnetic field B, where it is deflected in a semi-circular path of radius R. The magnetic field is uniform and oriented perpendicular to the velocity of the particle. Derive an expression for the mass of the particle in terms of B, q, V, and R.

Answer:

m = B²qR² / 2 V

Explanation:

If v be the velocity after acceleration under potential difference of V

kinetic energy  = loss of electric potential energy

1/2 m v² = Vq ,

v² = 2 Vq / m ----------------------- ( 1 )

In magnetic field , charged particle comes in circular motion in which magnetic force provides centripetal force

magnetic force = centripetal force

Bqv = mv² / R

v = BqR / m

v² = B²q²R² / m²  ------------------------- (2)

from (1) and (2)

B²q²R² / m²  = 2 Vq / m

m = B²q²R² / 2 Vq

m = B²qR² / 2 V

 explain why earths acceleration is usually very small compared to the acceleration of the object the earth interact with
Marianna [84]

Answer:

F-ma

Explanation:

If you are speaking of objects like satellites, etc. then their mass is much less than that of the Earth. A good approximation is Newton's first law of motion:

Force = Mass ×  Acceleration

often written:

F = m a

The gravitational force is the same between the Earth and the object - only the mass differs. So the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass.

frez [133]

Answer:

The Heavier Firefighter

Explanation:

Generally, more massive objects will have more intertia than less massive objects.  As such it takes more force to halt a more massive object if its moving at the same speed as a smaller object. This can also be thought of in the context of Newton's second law. The more force needed to accelerate an object means the more force the object will have.

A person hits a 45-g golf ball. The ball comes down on a tree root and bounces
Verizon [17]

Answer:

Maximum height, h = 10 m          

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of golf ball, m = 45 g = 0.045 kg

The ball comes down on a tree root and bounces  straight up with an initial speed of 14.0 m/s.

We need to find the height the ball will rise  after the bounce. It is based on the conservation of energy such that,

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh

h is maximum height raised by the ball

h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\\h=\dfrac{(14)^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\\h=10\ m

So, the ball will raised to a height of 10 meters.
