An alpha particle has a charge of +2e and a mass of 6.64 x 10-27 kg. It is accelerated from rest through a potential difference

of 1.2 x 106 V and then enters a uniform magnetic field whose strength is 2.2 T. The alpha particle moves perpendicular to the field. Calculate (a) the speed of the alpha particle, (b) the magnitude of the magnetic force exerted on it, and (c) the radius of its circular path.

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:

K=qV          (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):

K=(3.2*10^{-19}C)(1.2*10^6V)=3.84*10^{-13}J

The kinetic energy of the particle is also:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2       (2)

m: mass of the particle = 6.64*10^⁻27 kg

You solve the last equation for v:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(3.84*10^{-13}J)}{6.64*10^{-27}kg}}\\\\v=1.075*10^7\frac{m}{s}

the sped of the alpha particle is 1.075*10^6 m/s

b) The magnetic force on the particle is given by:

|F_B|=qvBsin(\theta)

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

|F_B|=(3.2*10^{-19}C)(1.075*10^6m/s)(2.2T)=7.57*10^{-12}N

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:

r=\frac{mv}{qB}=\frac{(6.64*10^{-27}kg)(1.075*10^7m/s)}{(3.2*10^{-19}C)(2.2T)}\\\\r=0.101m=10.1cm

the radius of the trajectory of the electron is 10.1 cm

Question 25
aniked [119]

Answer:

o The result of a chemical change is a different  composition; in a physical change, the composition  remains the same.

Explanation:

In a chemical change, new kinds of matter are produced although the atoms are the same.

For physical changes, no new kinds of matter formed. Only the state of substances changes.

  • Most chemical changes are usually irreversible
  • Physical changes are reversible in most parts.
  • Changes in state and form are salient characteristics of physical changes.
  • When new products are formed from the reactants, it is an indicator of a chemical change.

A truck traveled 400 meters north in 80 seconds and then it traveled 300 meters east in 70 seconds. The magnitude of the average
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

3.3m/s

Explanation:

You first get the total time (80 + 70 = 150s).

Then you would find the displacement of the truck. To do that you would do component method (vector addition), so since its a right triangle (North and East), displacement is 400^2 + 300^2 = d^2.

d= 500m.

So now that you have displacement and time, you can find the velocity:

v=d/t

v=500/150

v=3.3

The maximum speed limit on interstate 10 is 75 miles per hour. how many meters per second is this
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

<h2>33.53m/s</h2>

Explanation:

Given the maximum speed limit on interstate 10 as 75 miles per hour, to get the speed in meter per seconds, we need to convert the given speed to meter per seconds.

Using the conversion 1 mile = 1609.34m and 1 hour = 3600 seconds

75 miles perhour = 75miles/1 hour

75miles/1 hour (in m/s) = 75miles*1609.34m* 1 hour/1mile * 1 hour * 3600s *

= 75 *1609.34m* 1 /1 * 1 * 3600s

= 120,700.5m/3600s

= 33.53m/s

<em>Hence the maximum speed limit on interstate 10 in metre per seconds is 33.53m/s</em>
