What is the acceleration of a proton moving with a speed of 6.5 m/s at right angles to a magnetic field of 1.5 T?

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The acceleration of the proton is 9.353 x 10⁸ m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the proton, u = 6.5 m/s

magnetic field strength, B = 1.5 T

The force of the proton is given by;

F = ma = qvB(sin90°)

ma = qvB

where;

m is mass of the proton, = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

charge of the proton, q = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

The acceleration of the proton is given by;

$a = \frac{qvB}{m}\\\\a = \frac{(1.602*10^{-19})(6.5)(1.5)}{1.67*10^{-27}}\\\\a = 9.353*10^8 \ m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the proton is 9.353 x 10⁸ m/s²

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

R = 9.85 ohm , r = 0.85 ohm

Explanation:

Let the two resistances by r and R.

when they are connected in series:

V = 12 V

i = 1.12 A

The equivalent resistance when they are connected in series is

Rs = r + R

So, By using Ohm's law

V = i Rs

Rs = V / i = 12 / 1.12 = 10.7 ohm

R + r = 10.7 ohm .... (1)

When they are connected in parallel:

V = 12 V

i = 9.39 A

The equivalent resistance when they are connected in parallel

$R_{p}=\frac{R+r}{rR}$

So, By using Ohm's law

V = i Rp

Rp = V / i = 12 / 9.39 = 1.28 ohm

$\frac{R+r}{rR}=1.28$ .... (2)

by substituting the value of R + r from equation (1) in equation (2), we get

r R = 8.36 ..... (3)

$R-r = \sqrt{\left ( R+r \right )^{2}-4rR}$

$R-r = \sqrt{\left ( 10.7 \right )^{2}-4\times 8.36}=9$ ..... (4)

By solvng equation (1) and (4), we get

R = 9.85 ohm , r = 0.85 ohm

Assume (unrealistically) that a TV station acts as a point source broadcasting isotropically at 3.2 MW. What is the intensity of

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

$I=1.5\times10^{-28}W/m^2$

Explanation:

The intensity is related to the power and surface area by $I=\frac{P}{A}=\frac{P}{4\pi r^2}$ . We need to calculate the surface area of a sphere of radius r=4.3ly.

Since 4.3ly is the distance light travels in 4.3 years at 299792458m/s, we can obtain it in meters by doing:

$r=vt=(299792458m/s)(4.3\times365\times24\times60\times60s)=4.1\times10^{16}m$

So we have:

$I=\frac{P}{4\pi r^2}=\frac{3.2\times10^6W}{4\pi (4.1\times10^{16}m)^2}=1.5\times10^{-28}W/m^2$
