                                         Potential energy  =  (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

Divide each side by (G x H) :      Mass  =  PE / (G x H) 

PE = 6 joules
Gravity = 9.8 m/s
Height = 3 m
                                                     Mass  =  6 / (9.8 x 3) =

                                                                     6 / (29.4)  =  <em>0.204 kg</em>
 
                                  (weighs about 2 newtons or 7.2 ounces on Earth)

An alpha particle (charge +2e) travels in a circular path of radius .5m in a magnetic field of 1.0 T. Find the (a) period, (b) s
navik [9.2K]

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

A ball is thrown up into the air with an initial velocity of 18 m/s. A) How high does the ball go? B) Calculate the time needed
kaheart [24]

Answer:

B) t = 1.83 [s]

A) y = 16.51 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics.

v_{f} =v_{o} -g*t

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0

Vo = initial velocity = 18 [m/s]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

t = time [s]

Note: the negative sign in the above equation means that the acceleration of gravity is acting in the opposite direction to the motion.

A) The maximum height is reached when the final velocity of the ball is zero.

0 = 18 - (9.81*t)

9.81*t = 18

t = 18/9.81

t = 1.83 [s], we found the answer for B.

Now using the following equation.

y = y_{o} + v_{o}*t - 0.5*g*t^{2}\\

where:

y = elevation [m]

Yo = initial elevation = 0

y = 18*(1.83) - 0.5*9.81*(1.83)²

y = 16.51 [m]
