n alpha particle (q = +2e, m = 4.00 u) travels in a circular path of radius 5.94 cm in a uniform magnetic field with B = 1.10 T.
9966 [12]

Answer:

a). V = 3.13*10⁶ m/s

b). T = 1.19*10^-7s

c). K.E = 2.04*10⁵

d). V = 1.02*10⁵V

Explanation:

q = +2e

M = 4.0u

r = 5.94cm = 0.0594m

B = 1.10T

1u = 1.67 * 10^-27kg

M = 4.0 * 1.67*10^-27 = 6.68*10^-27kg

a). Centripetal force = magnetic force

Mv / r = qB

V = qBr / m

V = [(2 * 1.60*10^-19) * 1.10 * 0.0594] / 6.68*10^-27

V = 2.09088 * 10^-20 / 6.68 * 10^-27

V = 3.13*10⁶ m/s

b). Period of revolution.

T = 2Πr / v

T = (2*π*0.0594) / 3.13*10⁶

T = 1.19*10⁻⁷s

c). kinetic energy = ½mv²

K.E = ½ * 6.68*10^-27 * (3.13*10⁶)²

K.E = 3.27*10^-14J

1ev = 1.60*10^-19J

xeV = 3.27*10^-14J

X = 2.04*10⁵eV

K.E = 2.04*10⁵eV

d). K.E = qV

V = K / q

V = 2.04*10⁵ / (2eV).....2e-

V = 1.02*10⁵V

Can someone explain how they got their answer or how I get the change in number? :(
enyata [817]

Answer:

See Below

Explanation:

Okay, I thinkkk what it is asking by what you summarzied for me issss:

They split the total time into four quarters. They then took (for the first quarter) the start time. Then when the first quarter ends and the second quarter starts is the "end" time.

They then subtract the start time of the second quarter from the end time of the first quarter.

I hope this helps, good luck! :D

Suppose a car is traveling at +20.3 m/s, and the driver sees a traffic light turn red. After 0.207 s has elapsed (the reaction t
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

33.6371 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 20.3 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration = -7 m/s²

Distance traveled in the 0.207 seconds

Distance = Speed × Time

⇒Distance = 20.3×0.207 = 4.2021 m

Equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-20.3^2}{2\times -7}\\\Rightarrow s=29.435\ m

Distance traveled by the car while braking is 29.435 m

Total distance measured from the point where the driver first notices the red light is 29.435+4.2021 = 33.6371 m
