A velocity selector is used to insert charged particles into a mas spectrometer at a specific speed. The velocity selector has u

niform electric and magnetic fields that are perpendicular to one another and to the motion of the charged particle. If the particle is at the right velocity the magnetic force and electric force will cancel and the particle will continue in a straight line path. The velocity of the particle is: v=E/B. For higher or lower velocities, the particle is deflected and will not pass into the mass spectrometer.
Assuming the particle is positively charged, what are the directions of the forces due to the electric field and the magnetic field?

How does the kinetic energy of the particle change as it travels in the velocity selector?

Answer:

please read the answer below

Explanation:

A). If electric and magnetic forces over the charge allow that the particle describe a straight line, electric and magnetic forces are equal:

F_E=F_B\\qE=qv\ X \ B

electric and magnetic field are perpendicular between them and to the velocity of the charge, hence

v=E/B.

If the particle is moving to the right (+x), we can assume that electric field is upward (+z), and then magnetic field has a direction to out of the paper (+y). Thus, the electric force is directed upward (+z) and the cross product qv X B produces a magnetic force in the -z direction.

B).

E_K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}m(\frac{E}{B})^2

E and B are constant, hence, kinetic energy does not change.

hope this helps!

Note: I'm not sure what do you mean by "weight 0.05 kg/L". I assume it means the mass per unit of length, so it should be "0.05 kg/m".

Solution:
The fundamental frequency in a standing wave is given by
f= \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{ \frac{T}{m/L} }
where L is the length of the string, T the tension and m its mass. If  we plug the data of the problem into the equation, we find
f= \frac{1}{2 \cdot 24 m} \sqrt{ \frac{240 N}{0.05 kg/m} }=1.44 Hz

The wavelength of the standing wave is instead twice the length of the string:
\lambda=2 L= 2 \cdot 24 m=48 m

So the speed of the wave is
v=\lambda f = (48 m)(1.44 Hz)=69.1 m/s

And the time the pulse takes to reach the shop is the distance covered divided by the speed:
t= \frac{L}{v}= \frac{24 m}{69.1 m/s}=0.35 s

estion: Why is it important to use vector quantities and not just scalar quantities to describe the motion of an object? Vector
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Vector quantities are important in the study of motion. Some examples of vector quantities include force, velocity, acceleration, displacement, and momentum. The difference between a scalar and vector is that a vector quantity has a direction and a magnitude, while a scalar has only a magnitude. Vector, in physics, a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. It is typically represented by an arrow whose direction is the same as that of the quantity and whose length is proportional to the quantity's magnitude. A quantity which does not depend on direction is called a scalar quantity. Vector quantities have two characteristics, a magnitude and a direction. The resulting motion of the aircraft in terms of displacement, velocity, and acceleration are also vector quantities. A vector quantity is different to a scalar quantity because a quantity that has magnitude but no particular direction is described as scalar. A quantity that has magnitude and acts in a particular direction is described as vector.

If the distance to a point source of sound is doubled, by what multiplicative factor does the intensity change?
alina1380 [7]

If the distance to a point source of sound is doubled, by a multiplicative factor of 4, the intensity changes.

Intensity of sound is the sound which is perpendicular to sound wave propogation per unit area. It is dependent on the Surface of source sound.

Intensity is the Power per unit area. Its SI unit is Watt/m².

As we move away from a source of sound, the sound starts to diminish. This is due to the decreasing sound intensity with distance.

It can also be understood by the fact that on increasing distance, the Power radiated by the source spreads over a larger area. Hence, the Intensity decreases gradually.

Since, Intensity is proportional to the square of the distance.

Hence, on doubling the distance, Intensity reduces to one fourth of the initial intensity or reduces by a multiplicative factor of 4.
