The magnetic force acting on the proton is 
F=qvB \sin \theta
where
q is the proton charge
v is its speed
B is the intensity of the magnetic field
\theta is the angle between the direction of v and B; since the proton is moving perpendicular to the magnetic field, \theta=90^{\circ} and \sin \theta=1, so the force becomes
F=qvB

this force provides the centripetal force that keeps the proton in circular motion:
m \frac{v^2}{r} = q v B
where the term on the left is the centripetal force, with
m being the mass of the proton
r the radius of its orbit

Re-arranging the previous equation, we can find the radius of the proton's orbit:
r= \frac{mv}{qB}= \frac{(1.67 \cdot 10^{-27} kg)(6.5 m/s)}{(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C)(1.8 T)}=3.77 \cdot 10^{-8}m

And now we can calculate the centripetal acceleration of the proton, which is given by
a_c =  \frac{v^2}{r}= \frac{(6.5 m/s)^2}{3.77\cdot 10^{-8}m}=1.12 \cdot 10^9 m/s^2

Scientist have changed the model of the atom.what experimental evidence led them to change from the previous model .
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Rutherford's model of the atom (ESAAQ) Rutherford carried out some experiments which led to a change in ideas around the atom. His new model described the atom as a tiny, dense, positively charged core called a nucleus surrounded by lighter, negatively charged electrons.

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Frequency of the light will be equal to 6.97\times 10^{1}Hz

Explanation:

We have given wavelength of the light \lambda =430nm=430\times 10^{-9}m

Velocity of light is equal to v=3\times 10^8m/sec

We have to find the frequency of light

We know that velocity is equal to v=\lambda f, here \lambda is wavelength and f is frequency of light

So frequency of light will be equal to f=\frac{v}{\lambda }=\frac{3\times 10^8}{430\times 10^{-9}}=6.97\times 10^{1}Hz

So frequency of the light will be equal to 6.97\times 10^{1}Hz

A 3.1 kg ball is dropped from the top of a 38 m tall building. What is the speed of the ball when it is halfway from the buildin
Archy [21]

Answer:

19.3m/s

Explanation:

Use third equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2gh

where v is the velocity at halfway, u is the initial velocity, g is gravity (9.81m/s^2) and h is the height at which you'd want to find the velocity

insert values to get answer

v^2-0^2=2(9.81m/s^2)(38/2)\\v^2=9.81m/s^2 *38\\v^2=372.78\\v=\sqrt[]{372.78} \\v=19.3m/s

Use the image to determine the volume of the rock.
maria [59]

Answer:

12 ml

Explanation:

The initial volume in the cylinder is 20 ml

 adding the rock adds volume to the cylinder

       the new volume is 32 ml .....the increase in volume is the volume of the rock :   32 - 20 = 12 ml    volume of rock
