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

What is this feature?
Viktor [21]

Answer: c Delta

Explanation:

A delta is a landform created by deposition of sediment that is carried by a river as the flow leaves its mouth and enters slower-moving or stagnant water. This occurs where a river enters an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, reservoir, or (more rarely) another river that cannot carry away the supplied sediment.

Hope this helps!!

Moustapha jones drives east at 100km/hr for 3 hours then back west at 80km/hr for 1.5 hours. which pair of answers gives his ave
olya-2409 [2.1K]

The average speed of the car is 93.33 km/hr and the average velocity of the car is 40 km/hr.

The total distance cover in east direction is=100*3=300 km

The total distance cover in the west direction=80*1.5=120 km

The total distance covered is =300+120=420 km

And Total displacement of the car is =300-120=180 km

As we know that the average speed is given as

Avg Speed =Total Distance / Total time

=420/4.5=93.33 km/hr

As we know that the average velocity is given as

Avg Speed =Total Displacement/ Total time

=180/4.5=40 km/hr

Therefore, The average speed of the car is 93.33 km/hr and the average velocity of the car is 40 km/hr.
