Complete question:

At a particular instant, an electron is located at point (P) in a region of space with a uniform magnetic field that is directed vertically and has a magnitude of 3.47 mT. The electron's velocity at that instant is purely horizontal with a magnitude of 2×10⁵ m/s then how long will it take for the particle to pass through point (P) again? Give your answer in nanoseconds.

[<em>Assume that this experiment takes place in deep space so that the effect of gravity is negligible.</em>]

Answer:

The time it will take the particle to pass through point (P) again is 1.639 ns.

Explanation:

F = qvB

Also;

$F = \frac{MV}{t}$

solving this two equations together;

$\frac{MV}{t} = qVB\\\\t = \frac{MV}{qVB} = \frac{M}{qB}$

where;

m is the mass of electron = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg

q is the charge of electron = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

B is the strength of the magnetic field = 3.47 x 10⁻³ T

substitute these values and solve for t

$t = \frac{M}{qB} = \frac{9.11 *10^{-31}}{1.602*10^{-19}*3.47*10^{-3}} = 1.639 *10^{-9} \ s \ = 1.639 \ ns$

Therefore, the time it will take the particle to pass through point (P) again is 1.639 ns.

Nuclear fusion has not yet been harnessed as an energy source because

maksim [4K]

Before getting an answer for it first we have to understand nuclear fusion.

Nuclear fusion is a thermo-nuclear reaction in which two light unstable nuclei will form a heavy stable nuclei. In this process there will be some mass defect which will be converted into energy as per Einstein's mass energy equivalence theorem.

The theorem is stated as $E = mc^{2}$ where c is the velocity of light and m is the mass converted into energy.

One take an example of fusion in sun where 4 hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium nucleus which are explained below-

$H_{1}^{1}+H_{1} ^{1} =H_{1} ^{2} +e_{+1} ^{0} +energy$

$H_{1} ^{2} +H_{1} ^{1} =He_{2} ^{3} +energy$

$He_{2} ^{3}+H_{1} ^{1} =He_{2} ^{4} +e_{+1} ^{0} +energy$

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

$4H_{1} ^{1} = He_{2} ^{4} +2e_{+1} ^{0} +energy$

Here $e_{+1} ^{0}$ is the positron.

In this process very high temperature is needed which is approximately equal to the temperature of the sun i.e $10^{6} K$

Such temperature is very difficult to initiate the reaction on the earth surface. It should be carried out in an sustainable way also .Otherwise It will cause nuclear hazards.

A tall tree has more chances to break during the strom why?

S_A_V [24]

Explanation:

Trees, because of their height, are natural lightning rods. Electricity seeks the path of least resistance, and the moisture inside a tree is a much better conductor than air. This means a tree provides the preferred path for lightning to reach the ground.

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

$r=5.278\times 10^{-4}\ m$

Explanation:

Given that:

magnetic field intensity, $B=0.07\ T$

kinetic energy of electron, $KE=1.2\ eV= 1.2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ J= 1.92\times 10^{-19}\ J$

we have mass of electron, $m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

<em>Now, form the mathematical expression of Kinetic Energy:</em>

$KE= \frac{1}{2} m.v^2$

$1.92\times 10^{-19}=0.5\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times v^2$

$v^2=4.2198\times 10^{11}$

$v=6.496\times 10^6\ m.s^{-1}$

<u>from the relation of magnetic and centripetal forces we have the radius as:</u>

$r=\frac{m.v}{q.B}$

$r=\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 6.496\times 10^6 }{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.07}$

$r=5.278\times 10^{-4}\ m$

A particle (m = 4.3 × 10^-28 kg) starting from rest, experiences an acceleration of 2.4 × 10^7 m/s^2 for 5.0 s. What is its de B

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Wavelength, $\lambda=1.28\times 10^{-14}\ m$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the particle, $m=4.3\times 10^{-28}\ kg$

Acceleration of the particle, $a=2.4\times 10^7\ m/s^2$

Time, t = 5 s

It starts from rest, u = 0

The De Broglie wavelength is given by :

$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{mv}$

v = a × t

$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{mat}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-34}}{4.3\times 10^{-28}\times 2.4\times 10^7\times 5}$

$\lambda=1.28\times 10^{-14}\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A weightlifter liftsa 1,250-N barbell 2 m in 3 s. how much power was used to lift the barbell?

STatiana [176]

Power = Force * Distance/ time
P = 1,250 * 2/3
P = 2,500/3
P = 833.33 Watts

So, your final answer is 833.33 Watts
