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

In a certain chemical process, a lab technician supplies 292 J of heat to a system. At the same time, 68.0 J of work are done on
vekshin1

Answer:

The increase in the internal energy of the system is 360 Joules.

Explanation:

Given that,

Heat supplied to a system, Q = 292 J

Work done on the system by its surroundings, W = 68 J

We need to find the increase in the internal energy of the system. It can be given by first law of thermodynamics. It is given by :

dE=dQ+dW\\\\dE=292\ J+68\ J\\\\dE=360\ J

So, the increase in the internal energy of the system is 360 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which property of light would provide evidence for the idea that light is a wave?
Lena [83]

Color property of light would provide evidence for the idea that light is a wave

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The reality is that light manifests practices that are representative of both waves and particles. Young proposed that light of varying colors was formed of waves possessing various lengths, a basic theory that is popularly believed today. In contradiction, the particle theory advocates envisioned that several colors were obtained from particles holding either various masses or moving at various speeds.

All waves are perceived to experience refraction when they transpire from one means to another means. Light, similar to any wave, is apprehended to refract as it transfers from one medium into another medium.

You are driving your car along a country road at a speed of 27.0 m/s. as you come over the crest of a hill, you notice a farm tr
Bezzdna [24]

speed of the car = 27 m/s

speed of truck ahead = 10 m/s

relative speed of car with respect to truck

v_r = 27 - 10 = 17 m/s

relative deceleration of car

a_r = -7 m/s^2

now the distance before they stop with respect to each other is given by

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - 17^2 = 2 *(-7)*d

d = 20.6 m

so it will come at the same speed of truck after 20.6 m distance and hence it will not hit the truck as the distance of the truck is 25 m from car

Part b)

Distance traveled by car before it stops is given by

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a s

0^2  - 27^2 = 2 * (-7)* s

s = 52.1 m

so it will stop after it will cover total 52.1 m distance

Part c)

time taken by the car to stop

v_f - v_i = at

0 - 27 = (-7) * t

t = 3.86 s

now the distance covered by truck in same time

d = 3.86 * 10 = 38.6 m

now after the car will stop its distance from the truck is

D = 25 + 38.6 - 52.1 = 11.5 m

<em>so the distance between them is 11.5 m</em>
