Medical cyclotrons need efficient sources of protons to inject into their center. In one kind of ion source, hydrogen atoms (i.e

., protons with one orbiting electron) are fed into a chamber where there is a strong magnetic field. Electrons in this chamber are trapped in tight orbits, which greatly increases the chance that they will collide with a hydrogen atom and ionizes it. One such source uses a magnetic field of 90 mT, and the electrons' kinetic energy is 2.0 eV.If the electrons travel in a plane perpendicular to the field, what is the radius of their orbits?

Answer:

Explanation:

Electron's kinetic energy = 2 eV

= 2 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

1/2 m v² = 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁹

1/2 x 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ x v² = 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁹

v² = .703 x 10¹²

v = .8385 x 10⁶ m/s

Electrons revolve in a circular orbit when forced to travel in a magnetic field whose radius can be expressed as follows

r = mv / Bq

where m , v and q are mass , velocity and charge of electron .

here given magnetic field B = 90 mT

= 90 x 10⁻³ T

Putting these values in the expression above

r =  mv / Bq

= \frac{9\times10^{-31}\times.8385\times10^6}{90\times10^{-3}\times1.6\times10^{-19}}

= .052 mm.

A jet engine gets its thrust by taking in air, heating and compressing it, and
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

F=ma=20\ Kg\ 400\ m/s^2=8,000\ Nw

Explanation:

Thrust is known as a reaction force which appears when a system expels or accelerates mass in one specific direction. If we know the acceleration and the mass of the air expelled by the jet engine, we can compute the thrust .

The acceleration is calculated by using the dynamics formula

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

The values are  

v_f=500\ m/s,\ v_o=100\ m/s,\ t=1\ sec

\displaystyle a=\frac{500-100}{1}=400\ m/s^2

The thrust is

F=ma=20\ Kg\ 400\ m/s^2=8,000\ Nw

How does the position of an object relate to the energy stored in an object?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Potential Energy

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to it's position relative to some zero position. An object possesses gravitational potential energy if it is positioned at a height above (or below) the zero height.
