An alpha particle (charge +2e) travels in a circular path of radius .5m in a magnetic field of 1.0 T. Find the (a) period, (b) s
navik [9.2K]

Given Information:

Radius = r = 0.5 m

Magnetic field = 1.0 T

Required Information:

Period = T = ?

Speed = v = ?

Kinetic energy = KE = ?

Answer:

Period = 0.13x10⁻⁶ seconds

speed = 24.16x10⁶ m/s

Kinetic energy = 12.11 MeV

Explanation:

(a) period

The time period of alpha particle is related to its orbital speed as

T = 2πr/v  eq. 1

According to newton's law

F = ma

Force due to magnetic field is given by

F = qvB

qvB = ma

qvB = m(v²/r)

qB = mv/r

v = qBr/m  eq. 2

substitute the eq. 2 in eq. 1

T = 2πr/qBr/m

r cancels out

T = 2π/qB/m

T = 2πm/qB

T = 2π*6.65x10⁻²⁷/2*1.602x10⁻¹⁹*1

T = 0.13x10⁻⁶ seconds

(b) speed

From equation 1

T = 2πr/v

v = 2πr/T

v = 2π*0.5/0.13x10⁻⁶

v = 24.16x10⁶ m/s

(c) kinetic energy (in electron volts)

Kinetic energy is given by

KE = 0.5mv²

KE = 0.5*6.65x10⁻²⁷*(24.16x10⁶)²

KE = 1.94x10⁻¹² J

since 1 electron volt has 1.602x10⁻¹⁹ J

KE = 1.94x10⁻¹²/1.602x10⁻¹⁹

KE = 12.11 MeV

A person with a remote mountain cabin plans to install her own hydroelectric plant. A nearby stream is 3.00 m wide and 0.500 m d
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The power she can generate is 185.22 KW.

Explanation:

<h3><u>DATA</u></h3>

3.00m wide and 0.500m deep.

Cross sectional area = 1.500m^2

Velocity = 1.35m/s

Volumetric flow rate = Av = 18.00m^3/s

Mass flow rate = 18,000kg/s

Height = 4.20m

25.0% efficiency

<h3><u> FORMULA:</u></h3>

P = dE / dt * eff

<h3><u>SOLUTION:</u></h3>

18,000kg/s (9.8m/s^2) (4.20m) (25%) = 185,220 watts

= 185 kw

How can this sandstone become an igneous rock?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:Extreme pressure from burial, increasing temperature at depth, and a lot of time, can alter any rock type to form a metamorphic rock. If the newly formed metamorphic rock continues to heat, it can eventually melt and become molten (magma). When the molten rock cools it forms an igneous rock.

An object of mass 8kg is attached to massless string of length 2m and swum with a tangential velocity of 3 what is the tension o
Paul [167]

Answer:

36 N

Explanation:

If the object of mass, m = 8 kg is swung in a horizontal circle of radius, r = 2m = length of string with tangential velocity v = 3 m/s, the tension in the string is the centripetal force which is T = mv²/r

= 8 kg × (3 m/s)²/2 m

= 4 kg × 9 m/s²

= 36 N

Why the blood pressure in human body is greater at the feet than at the brain. please help!!!!​
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The pressure of liquid column is given by p=hpg, where h is depth, p is density and g is acceleration due to gravity.

Therefore, pressure of the liquid column increases with depth. The height of the blood column in a human body is more at feet than at the brain. Therefore, the blood pressure in humans is greater at the feet than the brain.
