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 proton, which is the nucleus of a hydrogen atom, can be modeled as a sphere with a diameter of 2.4 fm and a mass of 1.67 10-27
Step2247 [10]
For the answer to the question above asking to d<span>etermine the density of the proton. 
</span>Density is mass over volume. 

The volume of a sphere is 4πr³/3. r is half the diameter. 

So the density would be 2.3×10¹⁷ kg/m³. 
I hope my answer helped you. Feel free to ask more questions. Have a nice day!

We have discovered some exoplanets that are still forming from a nebula. How might those planets change over time?
Rudik [331]
Based on several theories made by scientists, planets are formed because of the accumulation of gases and other particles that are attracted to each other. These accumulated gases form into clumps and eventually the clumps get bigger and turn into a big orbital mass. The exoplanets may experience change over time through the observance of its orbit in a particular axis, and if there are other debris that might affect the planet's continuous growth.
