Given Information:

Radius = r = 0.5 m

Magnetic field = 1.0 T

Required Information:

Period = T = ?

Speed = v = ?

Kinetic energy = KE = ?

Answer:

Period = 0.13x10⁻⁶ seconds

speed = 24.16x10⁶ m/s

Kinetic energy = 12.11 MeV

Explanation:

(a) period

The time period of alpha particle is related to its orbital speed as

T = 2πr/v  eq. 1

According to newton's law

F = ma

Force due to magnetic field is given by

F = qvB

qvB = ma

qvB = m(v²/r)

qB = mv/r

v = qBr/m  eq. 2

substitute the eq. 2 in eq. 1

T = 2πr/qBr/m

r cancels out

T = 2π/qB/m

T = 2πm/qB

T = 2π*6.65x10⁻²⁷/2*1.602x10⁻¹⁹*1

T = 0.13x10⁻⁶ seconds

(b) speed

From equation 1

T = 2πr/v

v = 2πr/T

v = 2π*0.5/0.13x10⁻⁶

v = 24.16x10⁶ m/s

(c) kinetic energy (in electron volts)

Kinetic energy is given by

KE = 0.5mv²

KE = 0.5*6.65x10⁻²⁷*(24.16x10⁶)²

KE = 1.94x10⁻¹² J

since 1 electron volt has 1.602x10⁻¹⁹ J

KE = 1.94x10⁻¹²/1.602x10⁻¹⁹

KE = 12.11 MeV

The power in an electrical circuit is given by the equation P = I2R, where I is the current flowing through the circuit and R is
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Explanation: Here we have given a direct equation . There for no need to worry .

P = I²×R

P = (12)² ×100

P = 14400W = 14.4 kW

For second one

P = I² ×R

200 = I²×150

I = √200/150

I = 1.15 A

What is free fall? Explain it in brief.​
xxTIMURxx [149]
 · free fall is any motion of a body where gravity is the only forceacting upon it. In the context of general relativity, where gravitation is reduced to a space-time curvature, a body in free fall has no force acting on it.

A small ferryboat is 3.90 m wide and 6.30 m long. when a loaded truck pulls onto it, the boat sinks an additional 5.00 cm into t
Leya [2.2K]
When the truck's weight is added to the boat, the boat sinks 5 cm deeper,
and displaces additional water whose weight is equal to the weight of the
truck.

The volume of the additional displaced water is

             (3.9 m) x (6.3 m) x (5.0 cm)

         =  (3.9 m) x (6.3 m) x (0.05 m)  =   1.2285 m³ .

The weight of that much water is the weight of the truck.

          Mass of 1 liter of water  =  1 kilogram

          1.2285 m³  =  1,228.5 liters  =  1,228.5 kg of water.

          Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

                      = (1,228.5 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)  =  12,039 Newtons.

                                                                  (about 2,708 pounds)

A free negative charge released in an electric field will
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Will experience a force due to electric field.

Explanation:

  • When a free negative charge is released in an electric field it experiences a force due to the electric field in a direction opposite to the direction of the magnetic field.

According to Coulomb's law this force is mathematically given as:

F=E.q

and, electric field due to a charge is given as:

E=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0}.\frac{q}{r^2}

where:

permittivity of free space\epsilon_0=8.85\times 10^{-12}\ m^{-3}.kg^{-1}.s^4.A^2

q = magnitude of charge

r = radial distance from the charge
