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

I have a problem in this questions?

Answer:

8.46E+1

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Charge 1 (q₁) = 39 C

Charge 2 (q₂) = –53 C

Force (F) of attraction = 26×10⁸ N

Electrical constant K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Distance apart (r) =?

The distance between the two charges can be obtained as follow:

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

26×10⁸ = 9×10⁹ × 39 × 53 / r²

26×10⁸ = 1.8603×10¹³ / r²

Cross multiply

26×10⁸ × r² = 1.8603×10¹³

Divide both side by 26×10⁸

r² = 1.8603×10¹³ / 26×10⁸

r² = 7155

Take the square root of both side

r = √7155

r = 84.6 m

r = 8.46E+1 m

Explain the benefits of understanding sound waves properties in real life.
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The vibrations from sound waves cause our ears to send signals to our brains to create sound. The speed of sound waves will determine the sound's pitch, or how high or low something sounds. Sound waves are important because they allow us to hear important messages and emergency signals to protect ourselves.

Explanation:

I hope this helps :)

6. If a drag racer wins the final round of herrace by going an average speed of 320 m/sin 4.5 seconds, what distance did he cove
Ivan

We want to calculate the distance covered by the drag racer. Recall, the formula for calculating distance is expressed as

Distance = speed x time

From the information given,

speed = 320 m/s

time = 4.5 s

By substituting these values into the formula, we have

Distance = 320 m/s x 4.5s

s cancels out. We are left with m. Thus,

Distance = 1440m
