A mass spectrometer is being used to separate common oxygen-16 from the much rarer oxygen-18, taken from a sample of old glacial

ice. (The relative abundance of these oxygen isotopes is related to climatic temperature at the time the ice was deposited.) The ratio of the masses of these two ions is 16 to 18, the mass of oxygen-16 is 2.66 ✕ 10−26 kg, and they are singly charged and travel at 2.90 ✕ 106 m/s in a 1.30 T magnetic field. What is the separation (in m) between their paths when they hit a target after traversing a semicircle?

Answer:

0.092 m

Explanation:

A charged moving particle immersed in a region with magnetic field follows a circular trajectory at constant speed (uniform circular motion), since the magnetic forces acts perpendicular to the direction of motion of the particle.

Since the magnetic force acts as centripetal force, we can write:

qvB=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

q is the charge of the particle

v is its velocity

B is the strength of the magnetic field

m is the mass of the particle

r is the radius of the orbit

Solving the equation for r,

r=\frac{mv}{qB}

For the ion of oxygen-16, we have:

m_A=2.66\cdot 10^{-26}kg

q_A = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C (it is singly charged)

v_A=2.90\cdot 10^6 m/s

B_A=1.30 T

So the radius of its orbit is

r_A=\frac{m_A v_A}{q_A B_A}=\frac{(2.66\cdot 10^{-26})(2.90\cdot 10^6)}{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(1.30)}=0.371 m

For the ion of oxygen-18, we have:

m_B = \frac{18}{16}m_A = 2.99\cdot 10^{-26}kg

q_B = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C (it is singly charged)

v_B=2.90\cdot 10^6 m/s

B_B=1.30 T

So the radius of its orbit is

r_B=\frac{m_B v_B}{q_B B_B}=\frac{(2.99\cdot 10^{-26})(2.90\cdot 10^6)}{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(1.30)}=0.417 m

After each ion has travelled a semicircle, the separation between the two ions will be twice the difference in their radius, so:

d=2(r_B-r_A)=2(0.417-0.371)=0.092 m

* A 5 kg ball is dropped from a height of 20 m. How much kinetic energy will it have 10 m above the ground? a. 490 J b. 392 J C.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

A. 490

Explanation:

soln

mass = m = 5kg

Height = h = 10m

Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8ms²

K.E = 1/2 × mass × (velocity)²

Recall from equations of motion

v² = u² + 2gh

Therefore,

K.E = 1/2 × mass × ( u² + 2gh)

K.E = 1/2 × 5 × ( 0² + 2×10×9.8)

K.E = 1/2 × 5 × 196

K.E = 1/2 × 980

K.E = 490 Joules

n deep space, sphere A of mass 47 kg is located at the origin of an x axis and sphere B of mass 110 kg is located on the axis at
Volgvan

Answer:

a)-1.014x 10^{-7J

b)3.296 x  10^{-7J

Explanation:

For Sphere A:

mass 'Ma'= 47kg

xa= 0

For sphere B:

mass 'Mb'= 110kg

xb=3.4m

a)the gravitational potential energy is given by

U_{i = -GMaMb/ d

U_{i= - 6.67 x 10^{-11} x 47 x 110/ 3.4 => -1.014x 10^{-7J

b) at d= 0.8m (3.4-2.6) and U_{i=-1.014x 10^{-7J

The sum of potential and kinetic energies must be conserved as the energy is conserved.

K_{i + U_{i= K_{f + U_{f

As sphere starts from rest and sphere A is fixed at its place, therefore K_{i is zero

U_{i= K_{f + U_{f

The final potential energy is

U_{f= - GMaMb/d

Solving for 'K_{f '

K_{f = U_{i + GMaMb/d => -1.014x 10^{-7 + 6.67 x 10^{-11} x 47 x 110/ 0.8

K_{f = 3.296 x  10^{-7J

In a ballistics test, a 52g bullet hits a sand bag and stops after moving 1.34 m. If the initial bullat
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Friction force on the bullet is 58.7 N opposite to its velocity

Explanation:

As we know that initial speed of the bullet is 55 m/s

after travelling into the sand bag by distance d = 1.34 m it comes to rest

so final speed

v_f = 0

now we can use kinematics top find the acceleration of the bullet

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

so we have

0 - 55^2 = 2(a)(1.34)

a = -1128.7 m/s^2

now by Newton's II law we know that

F = ma

so we have

F = (0.052)(-1128.7)

F = -58.7 N
