A cosmic ray electron moves at 6.5 x 106 m/s perpendicular to the Earth’s magnetic field at an altitude where field strength is

1.24 10-5 T. What is the radius (in meters) of the circular path the electron follows? The charge of an electron is 1.6 x 10-19 C and its mass is 9.11 x 10-31m. Your answer should be a number with two decimal places, do not include the unit.

Answer: R=2.98 m

Explanation: In order to solve this answer we have to use the dynamic of circular movement actioned by the Lorentz force, this is given by:

Fm=qvB ( condiring that v and B are perpendicular)

By using the second Newton law fro a circular movement, we have:

Fm=m*a=m*v^2/R  where v and R are the speed and R of the circular movement electrons in the magnetic field.

then

qvB=m*v^2/R

Finally R=m*v/(qB)=9.11*10^-31*6.5*10^6/(1.6*10^-19*1.24*10^-5)=2.98

Two metal spheres of identical mass m = 4.20 g are suspended by light strings 0.500 m in length. The left-hand sphere carries a
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

0.632 m

Explanation:

let the equilibrium separation between the charges is d and the angle made by string with the vertical is θ.

According to the diagram,

d = L Sinθ + L Sinθ = 2 L Sinθ      .....(1)

Let T be the tension in the string.

Resolve the components of T.

T Sinθ  = k q1 q2 / d^2

T Sinθ = k q1 q2 / (2LSinθ)²     .....(2)

T Cosθ = mg    .....(3)

Dividing equation (2) by equation (3), we get

tanθ = k q1 q2 / (4 L² Sin²θ x mg)

tan θ Sin²θ = k q1 q2 / (4 L² m g)

For small value of θ, tan θ = Sin θ

So,

Sin³θ = k q1 q2 / (4 L² m g)

Sin³θ = (9 x 10^9 x 0.785 x 10^-6 x 1.47 x 10^-6) / (4 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 4.20 x 10^-3 x 9.8)

Sin³θ =  0.2523

Sinθ = 0.632

θ = 39.2 degree

So, the separation between the two charges, d = 2 x L x Sin θ

d = 2 x 0.5 x 0.632 = 0.632 m

A boxer punches a sheet of paper in midair and brings it from rest up to a speed of 30 m/s in 0.060 s .
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Force exerted, F = 1.5 N

Explanation:

It is given that, a boxer punches a sheet of paper in midair and brings it from rest up to a speed of 30 m/s in 0.060 s.

i.e. u = 0

v = 30 m/s

Time taken, t = 0.06 s

Mass of the paper, m = 0.003 kg

We need to find the force the boxer exert on it. The force can be calculated using second law of motion as :

F=m\times a

F=m\times (\dfrac{v-u}{t})

F=0.003\times (\dfrac{30}{0.06})

F = 1.5 N

So, the force the boxer exert on the paper is 1.5 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
