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

astraxan [27]

The force that is pushing the crate up the ramp is competing with at least another two forces, those being G force= defines the attraction to the earth and Ff, the friction between the crate and the rough material of the ramp

Any Force can be defined by the weigh of a particular body and the acceleration

the kinetic friction indicative would be defined by the report between the active force and the friction force, considering G

So 5000-22%×5000=250× a

a=3900/250 m/s

A roller-skate with a mass of 10kg has a force of 12N exerted on it. At what rate did the skate accelerate?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

1.2ms⁻²

Explanation:

F = ma

12 = 10*a

12/10 = a

6/5 ms⁻² = a   or 1.2 ms⁻² = a
