Both matter and light have been demonstrated to exhibit wave-like and particle-like behavior.

Light as a wave: light can diffract & refract

Light as a particle: photoelectric effect, Compton scattering

Matter as a wave: Davisson-Germer experiment

Matter as a particle: find a picture of any kinematics problem in a high school physics textbook

For your senior project, you would like to build a cyclotron that will accelerate protons to 10% of the speed of light. The larg

viva [34]

Answer:

The magnetic field is 1.16 T.

Explanation:

speed, v = 10% of speed of light = 3 x 10^7 m/s

diameter, d = 54 cm

radius, r = 0.27 m

charge, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

mass, m = 1.67 x 10^-27 kg

Let the magnetic field is B.

The centripetal force is balanced by the magnetic force.

$qvB=\frac{mv^2}{r}\\\\B =\frac{mv}{qr}\\\\B =\frac{1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 3\times 10^{7}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.27}\\\\B =1.16 T$

Suppose a particle moves along a straight line with velocity v(t)=t2e−2tv(t)=t2e−2t meters per second after t seconds. How many

dimulka [17.4K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Velocity of the particle moving in straight line is :

$v(t)=t^2e^{-2t}\ m/s$

We need to find the distance (x) traveled by the particle during the first t seconds. It is given by :

$x=\int\limits {v.dt}$

$x=\int\limits {t^2e^{-2t}dt}$

Using by parts integration, we get the value of x as :

$x=\dfrac{-(2t^2+2t+1)e^{-2t}}{4}\ meters$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A small boat coasts at constant speed under a bridge. A heavy sack of sand is dropped from the bridge onto the boat. The speed o

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

d. decreases

Explanation:

The law of conservation of momentum tells us that the sum of momenta before the collision is equal to the sum of momenta after the collision. The bag has no momentum as it falls onto the boat because its velocity is zero in the horizontal direction. But after it hits the boat, it's momentum increases while the momentum of the system remains the same. That means a component of the system must decrease somewhere else. And that component is the velocity, not the mass, of the boat.
