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 moon Phobos orbits Mars
podryga [215]

Explanation:

For a circular orbit v= \sqrt{\frac{G.m}{r} } with G = 6.6742 × 10^{-11}

Given m = 6.42 x 10^23 kg and  r=9.38 x 10^6 m

=> v = 2137.3 m/s

I hope this is the correct way to solve

Unpolarized light is incident upon two ideal polarizing filters that do not have their transmission axes aligned. If 19% of the
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

51.94°

Explanation:

I_0 = Unpolarized light

I_2 = Light after passing though second filter = 0.19I_0

Polarized light passing through first filter

I_1=\frac{I_0}{2}

Polarized light passing through second filter

I_2=\frac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta\\\Rightarrow 0.19I_0=\frac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta\\\Rightarrow cos^2\theta=\frac{0.19I_0}{\frac{I_0}{2}}\\\Rightarrow cos\theta=\sqrt{\frac{0.19I_0}{\frac{I_0}{2}}}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\sqrt{\frac{0.19I_0}{\frac{I_0}{2}}}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\sqrt{0.19\times 2}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\sqrt{0.38}\\\Rightarrow \theta=51.94^{\circ}

The angle between the two filters is 51.94°
