The protons will possess a force pointing to the right.

The force is called Laurentz Force, which is measured by: F = qvB

Here, q is positive for proton, v and B are cross product determined by right hand rule.

Answer: The motion of the given particles towards right.

Explanation:

In the given problem, two protons are moving up when they enter a magnetic field that points towards you. The force exerts on a moving charge in a magnetic field. This force is Lorentz force.

Lorentz force will act on the two protons. Force will be perpendicular to the directions of the velocity and magnetic field. The force will be maximum when the magnetic field and the velocity of the charge are in perpendicular direction.

The expression for Lorentz force is as follows;

$F=q(v\times B)$

Here, q is the charge, v is the velocity and B is the magnetic field.

The cross product gives the direction of the proton. It can be determined by the right hand rule. The right hand rule states that the thumb points in the direction of the motion of the charges, forefinger points in the direction of field and the middle finger points in the direction of the force.

Therefore, the protons move towards the right.

1. A ball is thrown downward with an initial speed of 22 m/s on Earth. a. What is the acceleration of the ball? b. Calculate the

vitfil [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of the ball would be due to the downward force of gravity, 9.8m/s^2. In order to find the displacement given that interval of time, you have to use the corresponding kinematic formula:

$d=v_it+at^2/2$

The initial velocity was given, the time was given, and the acceleration was given. Therefore:

$d=(22m/s)(4s)+(9.8m/s^2)(4s)^2/2$

$d=166.4m$

To find the required time given a desired final velocity, we can use:

$v_f=v_i+at$

$60m/s=22m/s+(9.8m/s^2)(t)$

$38=9.8t$

$t=3.9s$

Answer:

The magnetic field strength, B is 1.043 T.

Explanation:

The expression for the magnetic field is as follows as;

$B=\frac{mv}{qr}$

Here, m is the mass, r is the radius, v is the speed, q is the charge and B is the magnetic field.

According to the given problem, you would like to build a cyclotron that will accelerate protons to 10% of the speed of light. The largest vacuum chamber you can find is 60 cm in diameter.

v= 10% of the speed of the light

$v=\frac{10}{100}\times3\times10^{8}ms^{-1}$

$v=3\times10^{7}ms^{-1}$

$r=\frac{Diameter}{2}$

$r=\frac{60}{2} cm$

r=0.30 m

Calculate the magnetic field strength.

$B=\frac{mv}{qr}$

Put $v=3\times10^{7}ms^{-1}$ , $m=1.67\times10^{-27}ms^{-1} kg$ , $q=1.6\times10^{-19}C$ and r=0.30 m.

$B=\frac{(1.67\times10^{-27})(3\times10^{7})}{(1.6\times10^{-19})(0.30)}$

B= 1.043 T

Therefore, the magnetic field strength is 1.043 T.
