The question is incomplete. I can help you by adding the information missing. They want you to calculate a) the radius of the cyclotron orbit for an electron with speed 1.0 * 10^6 m/s^2 and b) the radius of a cyclotron orbit for a proton with speed 5.0 * 10^4 m/s.

The two tasks involve combining the equations of the magnectic force and the centripetal force in a circular motion.

When you do that, you will obtain an expression to find the radius of the circular motion, which is the radius of the cyclotron that impulses the particles.

a)

Magentic force, F = q*v*B

q is the charge of the electron = 1.6 * 10^ -19 C
v is the speed = 1.0 * 10 ^ 6 m/s
B is the magentic field = 5.0 * 10 ^-5 T

Centripetal force, F = m*Ac = m * v^2 / R

where,

Ac = centripetal acceleration
m = mass of the electron = 9.11 * 10 ^-31 kg
R = the radius of the orbit

Now equal the two forces: q*v*B = m * v^2 / R => R =  m*v / (q*B)

=> R = (9.11 * 10^31 kg) (1.0*10^6m/s) / [ (1.6 * 10^-19C)* (5.0 * 10^-5T) ]

=> R = 0.114 m

b) The equations are the same, just now use the speed, charge and mass of the proton instead of those of the electron.

R = m*v / (qB) = (1.66*10^-27 kg)(5.0*10^4 m/s) / [(1.6*10^-19C)(5*10^-5T)]

=> R = 10.4 m

The wavelength of red light is 7 x 10^-7 meter. Express this value in nanometers
3241004551 [841]

  • The wavelength of the red light in "nanometer" is 7× 10^{2}

  • Wavelength is given as : 7×10^{-7} meter

  • 1 nanometer = (10^{-9} meter)

  • Let X= value of the wavelength in nanometer.

1 nanometer  = 10^{-9} meter

X nanometer = 7× 10^{-7}  meter

  • <em>If we Cross multiply</em>

X nanometer = (\frac{     7* 10^{-7} }{  10^{-9} })

X= 7×10^{2} nanometer

Therefore, the wavelength in "nanometer" is 7×10^{2}

skateboarder, starting from rest, rolls down a 13.5 m ramp. When she arrives at the bottom of the ramp her speed is 7.37 m/s. If
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

1.7 m/s²

Explanation:

d = length of the ramp = 13.5 m

v₀ = initial speed of the skateboarder = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the skateboarder = 7.37 m/s

a = acceleration

Using the equation

v² = v₀² + 2 a d

7.37² = 0² + 2 a (13.5)

a = 2.01 m/s²

θ = angle of the incline relative to ground = 29.9

a' = Component of acceleration parallel to the ground

Component of acceleration parallel to the ground is given as

a' = a Cosθ

a' = 2.01 Cos29.9

a' = 1.7 m/s²

ryzh [129]

Answer:

Interchangeable is something that can be used in the same manner as something else without any important differences.

or in a more simple way

something that can be exchange

For example when two sweaters look almost the same and you could easily wear either one with a particular skirt, this is an example of when the sweaters can be worn interchangeably.

What type of tide occurs on a full moon or a new moon?
DIA [1.3K]
Spring tides will occur during a full moon and an new moon. The sun and moon are on a certain angle causing these tides to be neap tides, they aren't high tide nor are they low tides so you would verbalize they are in between and that is why it is called neap tides as well.
