An α-particle has a charge of +2e and a mass of 6.64 × 10-27 kg. It is accelerated from rest through a potential difference that

zzz [600]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Charge on alpha particle=q=2 e= $2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19} C$

1 e= $1.6\times 10^{-19} C$

Mass of alpha particle=m= $6.64\times 10^{-27} kg$

Potential difference,V= $1.97\times 10^6 V$

Magnetic field,B=3.49 T

a.Speed of alpha particle=v= $\sqrt{\frac{2 qV}{m}}$

By using the formula

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.97\times 10^6}{6.64\times 10^{-27}}$

$v=1.38\times 10^7 m/s$

b.Magnetic force,F $=qvB=2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.38\times 10^7\times 3.49=1.5\times 10^{-11} N$

F= $1.5\times 10^{-11} N$

c.Radius of circular path, r= $\frac{mv^2}{F}$

$r= \frac{6.64\times 10^{-27}\times (1.38\times 10^7)^2}{1.5\times 10^{-11}}$

r=0.084 m

When you jump upward, your hang time is the time your feet are off the ground. Does hang time depend on the vertical component o

hjlf

Answer:

It only depends on the vertical component

Explanation:

Hello!

The horizontal component will tell you how much you travel in that direction.

You could have a large horizontal velocity, but if the vertical velocity is zero, you will never be out of the ground. Similarly, you could have a zero horizontal velocity, but if you have a non-zero vertical velocity you will be some time off the ground. This time can be calculated by two means, one is using the equation of motion (position as a function of time) and the other using the velocity as a fucntion of time.

For the former you must find the time when the position is zero.

Lets consider the origin of teh coordinate system at your feet

y(t) = vt - (1/2)gt^2

We are looking for a time t' for which y(t')=0

0 = vt' - (1/2)gt'^2

vt' = (1/2)gt'^2

The trivial solution is when t'=0 which is the initial position, however we are looking for t'≠0, therefore we can divide teh last equation by t'

v = (1/2)gt'

Solving for t'

t' = (2v/g)

A motorcycle and rider have a total mass equal to 300 kg. The rider applies the brakes, causing the motorcycle to decelerate at

seraphim [82]

Answer:

Net force = - 1500 N

Explanation:

We calculate the net force acting using Newton's second Law:

$F_{net}=m*a\\F_{net}=(300 \,kg)*(-5\,m/s^2)\\F_{net}=-1500\,N$

A CD has a mass of 17 g and a radius of 6.0 cm. When inserted into a player, the CD starts from rest and accelerates to an angul

Stells [14]

Answer:

τ =9.41 * 10⁻⁴ N*m

Explanation:

Kinematics of the CD

The CD rotates with constant angular acceleration and its angular acceleration is calculated as follows:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_{f}- \omega_{i}}{t}$ Formula (1)

Where:

α : angular acceleration. (rad/s²)

ωf: final angular velocity (rad/s)

ωi : initial angular velocity (rad/s)

t = time interval (s)

Data

ωf= 20 rad/s

ωi =0

t = 0.65 s.

Calculating of the angular acceleration of the CD

We replace data in the formula (1)

$\alpha = \frac{20 -0}{0.65}$

α = 30.77 rad/s²

Newton's second law in rotation:

F = ma has the equivalent for rotation:

τ = I * α Formula (2)

where:

τ : It is the net torque applied to the body. (N*m)

I : it is the moment of inertia of the body with respect to the axis of rotation (kg*m²)

α : It is angular acceleration. (rad/s²)

Calculating of the moment of inertia of the CD

The moment of inertia of a disk with respect to an axis perpendicular to the plane and passing through its center is calculated by the following formula:

I = (1/2) M*R² Formula (3)

Data

M= 17 g = 17/1000 kg = 0.017 kg : CD mass

R= 6.0 cm= 6/100 m = 0.06 m : CD radius

We replace data in the formula (3) :

I = (1/2) ( 0.017 kg)*(0.06 m)² = 3.06 * 10⁻⁵ kg*m²

Calculating of the net torque acting on the CD

Data

α = 30.77 rad/s²

I = 3.06 * 10⁻⁵ kg*m²

We replace data in the formula (2) :

τ = I * α

τ =( 3.06 * 10⁻⁵ kg*m²) * (30.77 rad/s²)

τ =9.41 * 10⁻⁴ N*m
