In a cyclotron, the orbital radius of protons with energy 300 keV is 16.0 cm . You are redesigning the cyclotron to be used inst

dem82 [27]

Answer:

$r_\alpha=16cm$

Explanation:

The radius of the circumference described by a particle in a cyclotron is given by:

$r=\frac{mv}{qB}(1)$

m is the particle's mass, v is the speed of the particle, q is the particle's charge and B is the magnitude of the magnetic field.

Kinetic energy is defined as:

$K=\frac{mv^2}{2}=\frac{m^2v^2}{2m}\\$

Solving this for mv:

$mv=\sqrt{2mK}(2)$

Replacing (2) in (1):

$r=\frac{\sqrt{2mK}}{qB}$

For protons, we have:

$r_p=\frac{\sqrt{2m_pK}}{eB}(3)$

For alpha particles, we have:

$r_\alpha=\frac{\sqrt{2m_\alpha K}}{(2e)B}(4)$

Dividing (4) in (3):

$\frac{r_\alpha}{r_p}=\frac{\frac{\sqrt{2m_\alpha K}}{(2e)B}}{\frac{\sqrt{2m_p K}}{(e)B}}\\r_\alpha=\frac{r_p}{2}\sqrt{\frac{m_\alpha}{m_p}}\\r_\alpha=\frac{16cm}{2}\sqrt{\frac{6.64*10^{-27}kg}{1.67*10^{-27}kg}}\\r_\alpha=\frac{16cm}{2}(\sqrt{3.98})\\\\r_\alpha=\frac{16cm}{2}(2)\\r_\alpha=16cm$

Achilles and the tortoise are having a race. The tortoise can run 1 mile (or whatever the Hellenic equivalent of this would be)

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Surely Achilles will catch the Tortoise, in 400 seconds

Explanation:

The problem itself reduces the interval of time many times, almost reaching zero. However, if we assume the interval constant, then it is clear that in two hours Achilles already has surpassed the Tortoise (20 miles while the Tortoise only 3).

To calculate the time, we use kinematic expression for constant speed:

$x_{final}=x_{initial}+t_{tor}v_{tor}=1+t_{tor}\\x_{final}=x_{initial}+t_{ach}v_{ach}=10t_{ach}$

The moment that Achilles catch the tortoise is found by setting the same final position for both (and same time as well, since both start at the same time):

$1+t=10t\\t=1/9 hour=0.11 hours$
