Answer:
a) 20 rad/s
b) 6 m/s
Explanation:
b) Force acting on the wheel is 200 N
mass of the wheel is 100 kg
From Newton's second law of motion, F = m × a
Where F is the net force acting on the body
m is mass of the body
a is the acceleration of the body
By substituting the values we get, a = 2 m/s²
As acceleration is constant, we can use the below formula for calculating the final velocity of the object
v = u + a × t
Where v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
t is the time taken
u = 0 (∵ it starts from rest)
By substituting the values we get
v = 0 + 2 × 3 = 6 m/s
∴ Speed of center of mass after 3 seconds = 6 m/s
a) As the wheel rotates about z-axis, radius of gyration will be the radius of wheel
∴ Radius of the wheel = 300 mm
Torque acting on the wheel about axis of rotation = 300 mm × 200 N =
60 N·m
Torque = (Moment of inertia) × (angular acceleration)
Assuming that the mass of spokes of the wheel to be negligible,
Moment of inertia of the wheel about axis of rotation = 100 × 300² × = 9 kg·m²
Then,
60 = 9 × (angular acceleration)
∴ angular acceleration ≈ 6·67 rad/s²
As angular acceleration of the wheel is constant, we can use the below formula for calculation of final angular speed
=
+ α × t
Where
is the final angular velocity
is the initial angular velocity
α is the angular acceleration
t is the time taken
is 0 (∵ initially it starts from rest)
By substituting the values we get
= 6·67 × 3 = 20 rad/s
∴ Angular velocity of the wheel after three seconds = 20 rad/s
Answer:
a) v = 1.075*10^7 m/s
b) FB = 7.57*10^-12 N
c) r = 10.1 cm
Explanation:
(a) To find the speed of the alpha particle you use the following formula for the kinetic energy:
(1)
q: charge of the particle = 2e = 2(1.6*10^-19 C) = 3.2*10^-19 C
V: potential difference = 1.2*10^6 V
You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1):
The kinetic energy of the particle is also:
(2)
m: mass of the particle = 6.64*10^⁻27 kg
You solve the last equation for v:
the sped of the alpha particle is 1.075*10^6 m/s
b) The magnetic force on the particle is given by:
B: magnitude of the magnetic field = 2.2 T
The direction of the motion of the particle is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field. Then sinθ = 1
the force exerted by the magnetic field on the particle is 7.57*10^-12 N
c) The particle describes a circumference with a radius given by:
the radius of the trajectory of the electron is 10.1 cm
