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

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

0.5639m

Explanation:

For a young double slit experiment the expression below gives the angular separation for m dark fringe having slit width d and wavelength λ

=sin⁻¹(mλ/d)

mλ /d =y/L

for the first order,

y= mλL/d

For ratio separation y₀/yD=1 and d= 1

y₀/yD= [mλ ₀L₀/d]/[mλD.LD./d]

1=λ ₀L₀/λD.LD.

λD.LD= λ ₀L₀

L₀= λD.LD/ λ ₀..............(1)

Then substitute the given values into (1) we have

L₀=471 *0.497/611

= 0.3831m

Distance by which the screen has to be moved towards the slit is

LD- Lo

0.947-0.3831= 0.5639m

If the soccer ball has a mass of 284g, and gravitational force is 9.81 m/s2 on Earth, what is the weight of the soccer ball?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

  1. <u>2.79 N</u>
  2. <u>8.34 N</u>
  3. <u>Watermelon</u>

Explanation:

<u>Weight of soccer ball</u>

  • Weight = mass (in kg) × gravitational force
  • Weight = 284 x 10⁻³ x 9.81
  • Weight = 0.284 x 9.81
  • Weight = <u>2.79 N</u> (approximately)

<u>Weight of watermelon</u>

  • Weight = mass (in kg) x gravitational force
  • Weight = 850 x 10⁻³ x 9.81
  • Weight = 0.85 x 9.81
  • Weight = <u>8.34 N</u> (approximately)

As the <u>watermelon</u> has more weight, it will hit the ground first.
