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

A solid disk has a mass of 162 kg and a radius of 1.30m. This

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

754.3 m

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of the solid disk:

$I = mR^2/2$

Where m is the disk mass and R is the radius of the disk.

$I = 162*1.3^2/2 = 136.89 kgm^2$

The angular kinetic energy of the disk is then:

$E_k = I\omega^2/2 = 136.89 * 18^2/2 = 22176.18 J$

By law of energy conservation, this energy is converted to potential energy to pick up the 3kg block

let g = 9.8 m/s2

$E_p = m_bgh = 22176.18 J$

where $m_b$ = 3 kg is the mass of block

$3*9.8h = 22176.18$

$h = \frac{22176.18}{3*9.8} = 754.3 m$

An Excerpt from “Optimism”

by Helen Keller

1 Could we choose our environment, and were desire in human undertakings synonymous with

endowment, all men would, I suppose, be optimists. Certainly most of us regard happiness as

the proper end of all earthly enterprise. The will to be happy animates alike the philosopher, the

prince and the chimney-sweep. No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels

that happiness is his indisputable right.

2 It is curious to observe what different ideals of happiness people cherish, and in what singular

places they look for this well-spring of their life. Many look for it in the hoarding of riches, some

in the pride of power, and others in the achievements of art and literature; a few seek it in the

exploration of their own minds, or in the search for knowledge.

3 Most people measure their happiness in terms of physical pleasure and material possession.

Could they win some visible goal which they have set on the horizon, how happy they would be!

Lacking this gift or that circumstance, they would be miserable. If happiness is to be so

measured, I who cannot hear or see have every reason to sit in a corner with folded hands and

weep. If I am happy in spite of my deprivations, if my happiness is so deep that it is a faith, so

thoughtful that it becomes a philosophy of life,—if, in short, I am an optimist, my testimony to

the creed of optimism is worth hearing....

4 Once I knew the depth where no hope was, and darkness lay on the face of all things. Then

love came and set my soul free. Once I knew only darkness and stillness. Now I know hope and

joy. Once I fretted and beat myself against the wall that shut me in. Now I rejoice in the

consciousness that I can think, act and attain heaven. My life was without past or future; death,

the pessimist would say, “a consummation devoutly to be wished.” But a little word from the

fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the

rapture of living. Night fled before the day of thought, and love and joy and hope came up in a

passion of obedience to knowledge. Can anyone who has escaped such captivity, who has felt

the thrill and glory of freedom, be a pessimist?

5 My early experience was thus a leap from bad to good. If I tried, I could not check the

momentum of my first leap out of the dark; to move breast forward is a habit learned suddenly

at that first moment of release and rush into the light. With the first word I used intelligently, I

learned to live, to think, to hope. Darkness cannot shut me in again. I have had a glimpse of the

shore, and can now live by the hope of reaching it.

6 So my optimism is no mild and unreasoning satisfaction. A poet once said I must be happy

because I did not see the bare, cold present, but lived in a beautiful dream. I do live in a

beautiful dream; but that dream is the actual, the present,—not cold, but warm; not bare, but

furnished with a thousand blessings. The very evil which the poet supposed would be a cruel

Only by contact with evil could I have learned to feel by contrast the beauty of truth and love and goodness.

A stone is thrown horizontally with an initial speed of 10 m/s from the edge of a cliff. A stopwatch measures the stone's trajec

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The height of the cliff is 90.60 meters.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial horizontal speed of the stone, u = 10 m/s

Initial vertical speed of the stone, u' = 0 (as there is no motion in vertical direction)

The time taken by the stone from the top of the cliff to the bottom to be 4.3 s, t = 4.3 s

Let h is the height of the cliff. Using the second equation of motion in vertical direction to find it. It is given by :

$h=u't+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$h=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$h=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times (4.3)^2$

h = 90.60 meters

So, the height of the cliff is 90.60 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

A .5 kg toy train car moving forward at 3 m/s collides with and sticks to a .8 kg toy car that is traveling at 2 m/s what is the

Viktor [21]

Here we have perfectly inelastic collision. Perfectly inelastic collision is type of collision during which two objects collide, stay connected and momentum is conserved. Formula used for conservation of momentum is:
$m_{1} * v_{1} + m_{2} * v_{2} = m_{1} * v'_{1}+ m_{2} * v'_{2}$

In case of perfectly inelastic collision v'1 and v'2 are same.

We are given information:
m₁=0.5kg
m₂=0.8kg
v₁=3m/s
v₂=2m/s
v'₁=v'₂=x

0.5*3 + 0.8*2 = 0.5*x + 0.8*x
1.5 + 1.6 = 1.3x
3.1 = 1.3x
x = 2.4 m/s
